Podcasts about Hercules

WHO PUT THE GLAD IN GLADIATOR!? HER-A-CLES! This week, the siblings are breaking down one of Carie's treasured favorites from the Disney Renaissance, Hercules (1997). Carie's inner Humanities student is rearing it's insufferable head this week for all of the incredibly sophisticated jokes in the script. Ross is having trouble with the mixed salad of Roman and Greek references. He's also predictably uncomfortable and entertained by James Woods as Hades, and Carie once again is testing Ross with her characterization of the film as "biconic." Also, this film did great things for himbos. Where are all of our soft buff men who just want to love us the way we deserve?  SUPPORT US ON PATREON!

Midden-Oosten correspondent Jenne Jan Holtland ging mee aan boord van een Hercules-vliegtuig voor een voedseldropping boven Gaza. De droppings zijn internationaal omstreden en weinig effectief: want alleen de Gazanen die daar fysiek nog toe in staat zijn kunnen de kleine hoeveelheden voedsel bereiken. Jenne Jan en data- en onderzoeksjournalist Erik Verwiel vertellen over de dynamiek achter deze voedseldroppings en hoe het er op de grond aan toe gaat. Onze journalistiek steunen?

If you're not napping from 1:30pm-4:00pm daily, then its curtains I'm afraid.This week's episode has wonderful internet reviews for protein obsessed-people and their microwaveable pork rinds, holding lightning with Disney's Hercules (1997), honey stinger energy waffles (to offset a goo dependency), the implication of piss in Dumb and Dumber (1994), and a nasty bag of onions ordered off of Amazon. For the segment, we pay tribute to the Dark Prince himself on Momento Mori-view. Don't let the bed bugs bite!Want more party? Check it out at https://www.reviewpartydotcom.com/ !

In this episode, we continue our conversation with:Lieutenant-Colonel Luc Coates, Commanding Officer of 418 Search and Rescue Operational Training SquadronLieutenant-Colonel Francois Fasquelle, Commanding Officer of 442 Transport and Rescue SquadronMajor Dan Faux, subject matter expert on the CC-295 KingfisherWe begin with Dan's early days as a pilot and what led him to join the fixed-wing SAR project. From there, we explore why Canada needed a new fixed-wing Search and Rescue aircraft and what that journey looked like — from concept to selection. Finally, we dive deep into the Kingfisher itself: the modifications that set it apart, how it's performing in operations so far, and the process of training a new generation of SAR crews to fly it.

"But now your task is to be Hercules and bear the heavy burden of disaster"After months in Middle-Earth we are heading back to ancient Greece for an anthology of adventures from everyone's favorite demigod.

In his new book, The Deepest Border: The Strait of Gibraltar and the Making of the Hispano-African Border(Stanford, 2019), Sasha D. Pack considers the Strait of Gibraltar as an untamed in-between space—from “shatter zone” to borderland. Far from the centers of authority of contending empires, the North African and Southern Iberian coast was a place where imperial, colonial, private, and piratical agents competed for local advantage. Sometimes they outmaneuvered each other; sometimes they cooperated. Gibraltar entered European politics in the Middle Ages, and became a symbol of the Atlantic Empire in the Early Modern period (the Pillars of Hercules of Emperor Charles V are featured on the Spanish flag to this day), but Pack's study focuses on the nineteenth century. Europe's new imperialism, Britannic naval supremacy, the age of steam, the ever-present danger of cholera, all mark the change of a Spanish-Moorish border into a multilateral one. So too does the multicultural mix of Europeans and North Africans, Muslims, Jews, Catholics, and Protestants who brought a spirit of convivencia (mutual toleration) into the region, unlike the nineteenth- and twentieth- century homogenizing nationalism that was at play elsewhere. In the middle of this theater, Dr. Pack follows the careers of adventuresome entrepreneurs, who manipulated the weak enforcement of conflicting laws in overlapping jurisdictions for their own gain. He calls these characters “slipstream potentates” because they maneuvered creatively in the wakes of great ships of state on their courses in the seas of international politics. (Other historians have called them “the last Barbary pirates.”) They bring color and detail to this already gripping narrative of international politics in Spain and North Africa in the century between Napoleon and Franco. Sasha D. Pack is Associate Professor of History at the University of Buffalo. He studies Modern Europe, Spain and Portugal, and the Mediterranean, focusing on transnational and political history. Krzysztof Odyniec is a historian of the Early Modern Spanish Empire specializing in culture, diplomacy, and travel. He completed his PhD in 2017 at UC Berkeley where he is now a Visiting Scholar and a Fellow in the Berkeley Connect in History program. Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode No. 717 features artist Erin Shirreff, curator Davide Gasparotto, and conservator Ulrich Birkmaier. The Milwaukee Art Museum is presenting "Erin Shirreff: Permanent Drafts" through September 1. Across 40 recent collages, photographs, sculptures, and videos, the exhibition reveals Shirreff's interest in the space between images and the objects they picture. The exhibition was curated by Kristen Gaylord. Among the museums that have presented solo exhibitions of Shirreff's work are SITE Santa Fe, the Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, Mass., SFMOMA, and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston. "Artemisia's Strong Women: Rescuing a Masterpiece" is at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles through September 14. The exhibition reveals conservation work done on Gentileschi's ~1635-37 Hercules and Omphale, a significant painting damaged in a massive explosion in Beirut in 2020. Birkmaier led the conservation of the work, which Gasparotto joined to four other Gentileschis in this exhibition, which particularly highlights Gentileschi's focus on strong women from the classical and Biblical traditions. Instagram: Davide Gasparotto, Tyler Green. Air date: July 31, 2025.

On today's show, we chat with two-time guest, Kevin Sorbo! Still beloved by audiences nationwide, “What If…” stars Kevin Sorbo, Kristy Swanson, John Ratzenberger, and Debby Ryan. Notably, “What If…” marks the first faith film for Jenkins and for Kevin Sorbo—an early signal of the impact Jenkins would later make on global faith audiences.  The story follows Ben Walker (Kevin Sorbo), a businessman who abandoned his faith. One day, Ben wakes up living the life he was destined for—married to his college sweetheart (Kristy Swanson) and serving as a small-town pastor. Featuring memorable performances by John Ratzenberger and Debby Ryan, the film blends humor, heart, and a powerful family theme.  “Before ‘The Chosen,' this was the project that changed everything for me. ‘What If…' helped me realize the kinds of stories I want to tell,” said director Dallas Jenkins. “To this day I hear from people who loved it, so I was thrilled to reconnect with the cast so we could bring back this movie to a new audience.”  “Dallas Jenkins is a true visionary, and‘What If…' is where it all began, Fifteen years later – and after all of the profound success Fathom Entertainment accomplished with Dallas and his team on ‘The Chosen' – this is a terrific opportunity to revisit ‘What If…' with a special Fathom presentation,” said Ray Nutt, CEO of Fathom Entertainment. “Audiences are going to be moved by this film all over again—and the new reunion footage makes it even more meaningful for audiences to see it all on the big screen.”Kevin Sorbo is a distinguished American actor, producer, and director, renowned for his iconic role as Hercules in Hercules: "The Legendary Journeys".  His compelling charisma and strength have captivated audiences globally, solidifying his status as a versatile talent in the entertainment industry.  Transitioning into faith-based cinema, Kevin has dedicated his career to producing and starring in films that champion Christian values and family unity.  His works, including "God's Not Dead" & Let "There Be Light", demonstrate that movies reflecting traditional values can achieve significant box office success, inspiring and uplifting audiences www.fathomentertainment.com/releases/what-if-15-anniversary/sorbostudios.com@christianmusicguyschristianmusicguys.com

“What animal could a toddler actually beat in a fight?”That's the wild question that kicks off this segment of The Ben and Skin Show yet.Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive headfirst into a jaw-dropping real-life story: a two-year-old in India who bit a cobra to death. Yes, you read that right. What unfolds is a riotous blend of mythology, movie memories, venomous snake facts, and some of the funniest off-the-cuff banter you'll hear all week.

Welcome to one of the most hilariously unhinged episodes of The Ben and Skin Show yet! Join hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray as they dive headfirst into a whirlwind of absurdity, nostalgia, and breaking news that only this crew could deliver with such chaotic charm. From Micah Parsons' contract drama to a toddler defeating a cobra with his teeth, this episode is packed with jaw-dropping stories, gut-busting laughter, and the kind of off-the-rails commentary that makes this show a DFW staple.

In this illuminating episode of MusicalTalk, Nick Hutson sits down with esteemed theatre scholar Professor Robert Gordon to delve into his fascinating new book, The Theatre of Kander and Ebb. Together, they explore the groundbreaking legacy of one of Broadway's most enduring and influential songwriting duos — the brilliant composer John Kander and the incisive lyricist Fred Ebb. From Cabaret to Chicago, Kander and Ebb's daring approach to storytelling, their seamless blend of entertainment and social commentary, and their indelible contribution to the art of musical theatre are all put under the spotlight. Professor Gordon offers unique insights into their artistic process, thematic preoccupations, and the political and cultural contexts that shaped their iconic works. Also in this episode, Nick and Robert share thoughts on the West End's current production of Hercules at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, discussing its place in Disney's stage canon and how it compares to its animated origins.

What drives someone to choose the demanding — and often dangerous — career of Search and Rescue pilot? What early experiences shaped their paths, and what does it really take to fly missions where lives hang in the balance?In this episode, we sit down with three remarkable guests:Lieutenant-Colonel Luc Coates, Commanding Officer of 418 Search and Rescue Operational Training SquadronLieutenant-Colonel Francois Fasquelle, Commanding Officer of 442 Transport and Rescue SquadronMajor Dan Faux, a subject matter expert on the CC-295 KingfisherTogether, they share stories from their diverse beginnings, the lessons they've carried forward, and what ultimately led them to the unique world of SAR and Canada's newest fixed-wing SAR aircraft, the Kingfisher.

Nestled at the tail end of the legendary series of films within the Disney Renaissance, Hercules is both a musical fantasy reimagining and kid-friendly family film that paints the traditional story of Heracles from Greek mythology in a brand new light. It's a bold film that cashes in on some of its bold choices (the Muses are such an excellent edition both tonally and musically) but perhaps encounters missteps on other choices (Zeus is decidedly not a standup dad). And we can't have a discussion about this film without absolutely gassing up James Woods' portrayal of Hades and a couple of excellent songs that have stood the test of time nearly three decades later. Plus, Iris brings a long overdue Trivia Corner that really tests the gang's knowledge (and Marcus' faith in himself) on Greek mythology. Content warning: SPOILERS, strong language.

Today on the TV/Movie Rewind Podcast, Matt & Todd ride out with The Seven Magnificent Gladiators—Bruno Mattei's 1983 sword-and-sandals spectacle courtesy of Cannon Films.If you're Matt and Todd, you had us at either "Bruno Mattei" or "Cannon Films." But both?? We'll chip in for the 4K restoration ourselves.If you're not familiar with that glorious pairing, it's hard to explain just how much these movies mean to us. They're not trying to win awards—they're trying to inject pure entertainment into your bloodstream, like they've got a vendetta against subtlety and the solution involves kilotons of TNT strapped to a Chevy Caprice.What you're watching is the source code of entertainment. Just go along for the ride, and you will have a good time.The Seven Magnificent Gladiators is wild, it's fun, it's dubbed... and it's working on a budget. An inspired remix of Kurosawa's Seven Samurai (by way of The Magnificent Seven), this version asks: “What if we did that in ancient Rome… on a Cannon budget… using actors who were already wearing swords-and-sandals for another production?” Starring (and our choice as their Magnificent Seven counterpart):Lou Ferrigno as "Han"—yes, Han. That's what the "H" on his belt stands for. Definitely not Hercules, who Lou was coincidentally played at the same time. (Yul Brynner)Sybil Danning as Julia the most mercenary of the group (Brad Dexter).Brad Harris as Scipio, Han's right Han-d (Steve McQueen).Emilio Messina as Goliath the gentle giant (Charles Bronson).Giovanni Cianfriglia as Festo (We'll go with Robert Vaughn I guess?).Sal Borgese as Glafiro (I swear he throws a knife or something in this, so he'll be James Coburn).Rubert Mura as Vendrix (Horst Buchholz).Carla Ferrigno as Pandora.Yahudi Efroni, earning our coveted 'Whit Bissell' Award as The Emperor.Dan Vadis as Nicerote—the most fashion-forward warlord this side of Humungous or Raven Shaddock.It's Cannon. It's Mattei. It's awesome.Find and reach out to Matt on: Bluesky: @MovieMattSirois.bsky.socialFacebook:  The Movie Asylum of the Weird, Bad and WonderfulFollow who we follow: Once Upon a Geek and Fade Out Podcast

A queer icon steps up for RA.998's B-side. The RA Podcast began with RA.001 in 2006. Since then, it's spotlighted the best and brightest in dance music every week, without fail. As we approach our 1,000th episode next month, we're switching things up, pairing artists whose sounds complement one another and, in doing so, zeroing in on the forces shaping the past, present and future of electronic culture. This week, we shift lanes to Roza Terenzi and Kim Ann Foxman, two artists who strike a rare balance between reverence and reinvention. Both are key figures in queer clubbing circles, deeply informed by the halcyon days of '90s and early '00s club music yet fully committed to pushing it forward. Each artist has carved out a distinct path. Roza Terenzi started out in Perth, Australia, before making a home in Berlin in 2020, while the Hawaii-born Foxman made her name in New York by way of San Francisco in the early '00s. For RA.998, they've contributed separate mixes, to be enjoyed together as two parts of the same whole. Foxman takes the B-side and makes her RA Podcast debut. As a vocalist for Hercules & Love Affair and a sought-after producer in her own right, the New York-based artist blends club heft and melodic flourish with a distinct pop sensibility shaped by '90s dance music. (She got her first job making smoothies at an all-ages club in Hawaii while Deee-Lite performed live behind her.) Like Roza Terenzi, Foxman draws from across eras. Her contribution to RA.998 is warm, expressive and emotionally tuned, unfurling a palette of house, breaks and trance laden with bright pads, bold hooks and an ear for atmosphere. Listen out for the Mariah Carey sample and you'll know what we mean. While Foxman and Roza Terenzi embrace a fun, vibrant musical style, their work is grounded in intentionality. They're invested in honouring the cultural and political roots of dance music: Foxman has long advocated for a more inclusive, community-driven club scene, while Roza Terenzi was among the first artists to begin pulling shows this summer as a matter of political principle. Both sides of RA.998 show how the sounds of past eras can be reimagined to move seamlessly with the present. Hopefully you'll even feel a jolt of inspiration to get yourself to the nearest dance floor, ASAP. @kimannfoxman Find the tracklist and interview at ra.co/podcast/1003

We present our comparison of Hercules: The Thracian Wars to Hercules the 2014 movie starring Dwayne Johnson! Hercules is a Radical Comics character who has appeared in two limited series, The Thracian Wars and The Knives of Kush, both written by Steve Moore with Cris Bolsin as the artist. The Jim Steranko "Hercules" from the cover of the first issue is also featured in solid bronze as the first in the Radical Toyz product line. Radical Toyz commissioned sculptor Chris Ingram to bring to life the art that represents Radical's flagship title.The story takes place in barbarian Thrace, in Northern Greece. Hercules and his companions are hired by the Thracian king, Cotys, to train the Thracian army into one that excels in ruthlessness.Hercules is a 2014 American action-adventure fantasy film directed by Brett Ratner from a screenplay by Ryan J. Condal and Evan Spiliotopoulos. It stars Dwayne Johnson as Hercules, a self-proclaimed demigod who is hired to lead the armies of Thrace into battle against a warlord. Ian McShane, Rebecca Ferguson, Rufus Sewell, Joseph Fiennes, Peter Mullan, and John Hurt also star. The film is based on Steve Moore's graphic novel Hercules, specifically the limited series The Thracian Wars.Hercules was released by Paramount Pictures on July 25, 2014.It was one of two Hollywood-studio Hercules films released in 2014, the other being Lionsgate's The Legend of Hercules. The film became a box office success, earning $244 million on a $100 million budget, and received mixed reviews from critics, with some praise for Johnson's performance and the action sequences, though the screenplay and plot received criticism.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

OUR FIRST EVER BOOK, THREE RAVENS FOLK TALES, IS PUBLISHED TODAY!!!Also, we have a new Lang Fairy Tale for you to enjoy. It is called The Terrible Head and it's part Oedipus, part Perseus, part Hercules, and involves the throwing of quoits. Not sure what quoits are? Not a problem - it doesn't really matter anyway...If you are unfamiliar with the Lang Fairy Tales, these seminal collections were assembled between 1889 and 1913 by a married couple, folklorists and translators Nora and Andrew Lang, with most of the work done to compile them completed by Nora, also known as Leonora Blanche Alleyne.Assembled and published in 12 colour-coded "Fairy Books," the corpus the Langs put together included 798 fairy tales from across cultures, many of which had never before been translated into English.They were amongst the most influential books of their time, changing the course of children's literature - although they're hardly just for children, and often deal with quite challenging concepts.Today, purchasing a complete set of the Lang Fairy Books in good condition costs over £4,000 ($5,000+).Thankfully, the collections are all out of copyright, meaning that we can now tell these stories, in podcast form, many for the first time, and share them with a global audience, for free.Our plan is to release the stories between main series of Three Ravens, performing them straight (though with plenty of silly voices) letting the tales speak for themselves in all their madcap, sharp-edged, often quite bizarre glory.The only edits we have made are to amend some culturally-insensitive epithets, which typically pertain to ethnicity, with any such edits made by Eleanor Conlon.Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcastThree Ravens is a myth and folklore podcast hosted by Eleanor Conlon and Martin Vaux.In each Monday episode we explore a historic county, digging into heritage, folklore and traditions, then we tell a new version of a legend from that county.

My guest today is Matt Sturm, a guide and writer dedicated to the evolution of masculinity. His offerings include psychotherapy, psychedelic-assisted work, sacred sexuality, and men's retreats. He is the author of two books—The Organic Masculine and Primal Drives—and the creator of the Living Kosmos tarot deck.(You might also remember Matt from when he joined Deus and I to discuss eros & intimacy in men's ritual space).After a decade working in the corporate climate sector, Matt left his dream job to embark on a spiritual path that led him deep into yoga, tantra, and the mythic roots of masculine identity. His work bridges archetypal psychology, developmental theory, and sacred embodiment, inviting men into a more integrated and life-affirming expression of their power.In this conversation, we explore the crisis and rebirth of masculinity in a time of global unraveling. Matt shares his framework of the "organic masculine," and how the primal drives of aggression and sexuality—when unintegrated—fuel much of the world's destruction. We look at the role of rites of passage, the death-rebirth journey of the hero, and the challenge of moving from domination to deep relationality.We discuss the symbolic power of myths like Hercules and the Hydra, the collective adolescent psyche behind our social and environmental collapse, and how reclaiming the warrior archetype can support a shift from violence to sacred protection.Together, we ask: How might men transform their primal drives into devotion? What kind of masculine presence is needed to meet the polycrisis of our time? And how do we embrace the monster within so that it becomes an ally rather than an adversary?This episode is a call to enter the depths—where masculinity is not conquered or discarded, but composted, reimagined, and reborn in service to life.The Mythic Masculine is a reader-supported publication.

No there are no typos in the title, that's how "Labours" is spelled in this instance and the Greek pronunciation is HERA-CLES, cause the dude was named after Hera, who was actually not his mother, far from it. Daddy Zeus did was Zeus gon' do and sexed up a mortal woman disguised as her husband, she got pregnant, Hera got pissed and Heracles was born into the Greek World with a target already on his back. Now we should preface this with a disclaimer, this ain't Walt's Hercules, I mean that movie is a banger but the real story of Heracles would be a hard NC-17 rating. The 12 Labours are pretty much the story of Heracles' life, all his myths and stories come from what happened while he was crossing things off his task list. But why was he doing these mythological honey-do's instead of chillin' on Olympus? Well that all comes back to Hera and the instant she destroyed his life and set a path before him to possible redemption. Alright enough talk let's get into it.... Support the show
