Why is Disney's Hercules one of the greatest LGBTQ+ films ever made?This episode attempts to answer that fraught and necessary question.As you may know, Hercules (1997) is a story about a small-town girl who goes to the big city to discover himself, become famous, land a few sponsorship deals, and build a chosen family in an imperfect world.It's like All About Eve but with much, much better music. (Though Hades and Bette Davis look uncannily alike, I'll admit.)Hercules was the first anatomically male Disney princess to grace the silver screen – and this innovation changed the lives of every gay boy and girl born between 1987 and 1997.The fact that it has some of the sharpest writing of the Disney Renaissance – and deeply layered mythological references – did not escape our notice either.Which is why Bash and his honoured guest, Liv Albert (Let's Talk About Myths, Baby!) have embarked on a heroic quest to explore:
With more high profile plays and musicals receiving their world premiere productions in the UK, audiences are asking whether these West End shows will ever get a Broadway transfer.From celebrated musicals like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and the recent revival of Evita to highly anticipated new adaptations like Paddington the Musical and The Hunger Games, New York theatre fans are eager to find out whether they can expect to see these shows heading across the Atlantic.By way of an update, Mickey-Jo is sharing his perspective on whether we can anticipate Broadway transfers for a handful of the most talked about UK shows, as well as some insights into each of their Broadway viability...•00:00 | introduction02:26 | Evita08:29 | The Curious Case of Benjamin Button13:35 | The Devil Wears Prada17:50 | Hercules22:32 | Paddington27:43 | The Hunger Games32:41 | in conclusion...About Mickey-Jo:As one of the leading voices in theatre criticism on a social platform, Mickey-Jo is pioneering a new medium for a dwindling field.

This week on Better Than Average, Chris and Jay tackle the apocalyptic chaos of This Is The End — a film that somehow makes the end of the world look like the ultimate lads' night in.Meanwhile, Hercules makes his long-awaited studio debut… and immediately reminds everyone why that might have been a bad idea. Between climbing all over the hosts and demanding attention mid-conversation, it's fair to say professionalism takes a back seat.Somewhere between the mayhem, there's still time for a bit of Jiu-Jitsu talk (obviously) and the usual blend of nonsense, insight, and unexpected philosophy.It's messy, funny and reliably Better Than Average.
In a story from ancient Greek philosophy, Hercules faces a choice between two paths: one promising pleasure and ease; the other, hardship and struggle — but also growth and greatness. According to today's guest, this ancient parable is more relevant than ever.Dr. Paul Taylor, a psychophysiologist and the author of the new book The Hardiness Effect, returns to the show to argue that comfort has become our default mode — and it's making us mentally and physically sick. To reclaim health and meaning, we must actively choose the path of arete — a life of effort, engagement, and challenge.Paul first outlines the four traits that define a psychologically hardy person and how we grow by embracing and even relishing discomfort. We then dive into the physiological side of hardiness. We discuss how intentionally seeking stressors can strengthen both body and mind and some of the practices and protocols that lead to optimal health. We end our conversation with what tackling heroic, Herculean labors looks like today.Resources Related to the PodcastPaul's previous appearance on the AoM podcast: Episode #941 — How to Avoid Death by ComfortAoM Podcast #1,087: Why You Need the Good Stress of SocializingAoM Podcast #793: The New Science of Metabolism and Weight Loss with Herman PontzerThe Choice of Hercules AoM podcast on the benefits of sunlight"Don't Die: Eat More Small Fish" by Michael EasterAoM Article: Nature's Prescription — The 20-5-3 Rule for Spending Time OutdoorsNorwegian 4X4 HIIT ProtocolAoM article on Zone 2 CardioOmega-3 testingConnect With Paul TaylorPaul's websiteSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We revisit Michelle's Mirage III flight at seven that kicked off her dream ignition. Those colouring-in prizes turned into flights on Caribou, Chinook and Hercules. Guy explains his late-bloom path to the Olympics and how the right environment changes your pace. We compare goals and routines and why systems keep you happier than future targets. We also break down true confidence versus contextual confidence and how to build the one that holds anywhere.Recorded in Bali with cicadas, geckos, dogs and white-water rafters in the background.

(00:00 - 4:10) It's Tuesday! Hurricane Melissa is about to make landfall with Jamaica, Bob recalls a time when he lived in North Carolina, and his car was flooded out during Hurricane Fran. (4:10 - 9:24) This guy deserves a salute, A U.S. Navy vet just lunged over 4 miles, breaking two world records in the process. He made a self-challenge and called it the Hercules challenge it contained. He prepared for the painful challenge with 12-16 hours of gym training over four to six days a week for three and a half months. LBF said the most challenging thing she's ever done was childbirth. (9:24 - 13:20) The other night LBF was talking about how she took an uber from South Station to Northern Ave - quick trip. My friend said You must have a great rating because usually they don't do little trips like that. Turns out she only has a 4.93 rating, most of her friends have 5. That got LBF thinking what if you had a rating for everything you did. (13:20 - 18:43) Today's DM Disaster is from Caitlin. She was out to dinner with her foodie friends when they made her do something that ruined the night. They went to a seafood place and had oysters, that they made Caitlin try. The second it hit her lips she instantly projectile it out onto another table. Now she had to pay for the table next to her. That's Caitlin's DM Disaster. (18:43 - 23:07) It's been exactly a year since Bob gave his number to his neighbor who said let's play golf. Well, LBF said he is not going to call you. Turns out that was correct it's now been over a year and no phone call. (23:07 - 29:36) Have you seen any paranormal activity, if you have then guess what you're considered to be normal. This happens to LBF a lot and she's curious: Is she crazy or clairvoyant!? Bob isn't a real believer. All this and more on the ROR Morning Show with Bob Bronson and LBF Podcast.

A weary King Kull gazes into the forbidden mirrors of Tuzun Thune, seeking wisdom beyond mortal grasp. But in those shifting reflections lies a peril far greater than any enemy he's ever faced. The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune by Robert E. Howard. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Quick heads-up: our brand-new Lost Sci-Fi Weekly newsletter launches this Monday, October 27. Tap the link in the description or visit LostSciFi.com to get it first.Newsletter - https://lostscifi.com/freeBefore there was Conan, there was King Kull—a brooding, introspective warrior-king from the ancient, drowned kingdom of Valusia. Created by Robert E. Howard, Kull first appeared in The Shadow Kingdom in 1929, one of the earliest true “sword and sorcery” tales.Howard wrote only a handful of complete Kull stories, but they stand among his most thoughtful and dreamlike works. The best known are The Shadow Kingdom, Kings of the Night, and today's story, The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune—a haunting story about the peril of looking too deeply into one's own reflection.You might remember the 1997 movie Kull the Conqueror — starring Kevin Sorbo (of Hercules fame) — which is the only movie explicitly featuring Kull. It was supposed to be a Conan the Barbarian sequel but was reworked into a Kull story when rights issues arose.We will find our story on page 367 in Weird Tales magazine in September 1929, The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune by Robert E. Howard…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A proud young exile meets a storm-working dwarf on a desolate Genoa shore — and in a single Faust-like bargain barters more than he understands.

Welcome to Autumn-ish Book Club! In this flash analysis series, we take an academic approach to some of the most talked-about books in Romantasy and fantasy today. With over 13 years of combined academic literary training, we bring a critical lens to fandom favorites while keeping the discussion fun, thought-provoking, and accessible. In this episode, we're discussing The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem. We explore how Hashem intertwines Egyptian-inspired mythology with epic fantasy politics to tell a story of rebellion, identity, and survival. Through Sylvia's journey as the last heir of a fallen kingdom forced into hiding, we analyze themes of legacy, vengeance, and the tension between duty and desire. We also unpack how Hashem uses slow-burn romance, political intrigue, and moral ambiguity to craft a richly layered debut that challenges traditional hero narratives within the Romantasy genre. This episode is perfect for listeners looking for a Jasad Heir book discussion or in-depth Sara Hashem analysis, as we explore how her world-building, magic system, and character dynamics position her among the next generation of standout Romantasy authors. Whether you're drawn to stories of secret royalty, forbidden love, or morally gray magic, this conversation dives deep into what makes The Jasad Heir a must-read for fantasy fans and BookTok readers alike. This season, we'll be covering:The Hunger Games by Suzanne CollinsA Cruel Thirst by Angela MontoyaWhen the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. ParkerWhere the Shadows Meet by Patrice CaldwellBlood of Hercules by Jasmin MasBlood Over Bright Haven by M.L. WangRed Queen by Victoria AveyardThe Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem And when book club wraps up, get ready—our next full literary analysis will dive into Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas.

With over 13 years of combined academic literary training, we bring a critical lens to fandom favorites while keeping the discussion fun, thought-provoking, and accessible. In this episode, we're discussing Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. We explore how Aveyard blends dystopian and fantasy elements to craft a world divided by blood—where the powerful Silvers rule over the oppressed Reds. Through Mare Barrow's transformation from street thief to symbol of rebellion, we analyze themes of power, privilege, and identity, and how Aveyard uses her heroine's voice to interrogate systems of inequality and control. We also dive into the novel's exploration of class revolution, propaganda, and betrayal, and examine how Red Queen established itself as one of the most influential YA fantasy series of the 2010s. This episode is perfect for fans searching for a Victoria Aveyard Red Queen analysis or a deep-dive book discussion on one of the most iconic YA fantasy and dystopian romantasy series of the last decade. We explore Mare Barrow's character arc, the story's themes of class rebellion and power, and how Aveyard's world continues to inspire conversations across BookTok and fantasy podcast communities.

The second and final of the Steve Reeves' Hercules movies. Similar to the first film, Hercules Unchained is bolstered by a solid opening and closing but again is labored (see what I did there?) by a largely boring and unnecessary middle. Still, Steve Reeves' portrayal of the Greco-Roman mythological hero Hercules is fantastic, and Hercules Unchained even features an appearance by former World Boxing and World Wrestling champion Primo Carnera! Grab your sword and sandals and let's go fight some monsters!

Försvarsmaktens gamla Hercuelsplan har varit i tjänst i 60 år, men istället för nya amerikanska plan väljer man nu brasilianska. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Sveriges sex Herculesplan ska fasas ut men till att börja med kommer de flyga parallellt med fyra moderna plan som Sverige köper från Embraer i Brasilien.De nya planen kan ta större last, har toaletter ombord och kan flyga mycket snabbare och högre, men det finns saker som de inte kommer kunna göra till att börja med.Hercules är ett flygplan som lämpar sig väldigt bra för krigssituationer och att starta och landa på korta sträckor på alla möjliga underlag. ”Där kommer det att dröja innan vi är framme med våra nya flygplan, men vi kommer att komma dit.”, säger Per Carlemalm, som är flygchef på Hercules-skvadronen.Medverkande:Claes Aronsson, ProgramledareSylvia Dahlén, ProgramledareKalle Glas, ProducentPer Carlemalm, Hercules-pilot och skvadronchef Skaraborgs flygflotiljMartin Lundmark, Lektor FörsvarshögskolanLjudkällor: SR, The Guardian, SVT, Försvarsmakten

Welcome to Autumn-ish Book Club! In this flash analysis series, we take an academic approach to some of the most talked-about books in Romantasy and fantasy today. With over 13 years of combined academic literary training, we bring a critical lens to fandom favorites while keeping the discussion fun, thought-provoking, and accessible. In this episode, we're discussing Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang. We explore how Wang deconstructs the idea of power and morality in dark academia fantasy, using her world of magic, empire, and forbidden knowledge to question who deserves to wield control, and at what cost. We analyze how the novel's complex relationship between science and sorcery blurs the line between progress and corruption, and how Wang's morally gray characters challenge traditional Romantasy archetypes. We also unpack the book's themes of institutional rot, ambition, and rebellion, and why Blood Over Bright Haven has become one of the most talked-about fantasy novels of the year. This season, we'll be covering: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins A Cruel Thirst by Angela Montoya When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker Where the Shadows Meet by Patrice Caldwell Blood of Hercules by Jasmin Mas Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem And when book club wraps up, get ready! Our next full literary analysis will dive into Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas.

I am a sucker for Greco-Roman mythology, so I thought I'd check out the much lauded performance of bodybuilder Steve Reeves in the first of his two appearances as Hercules in the 1958 movie of the same name. Obviously, as far as special effects goes, this movie was seriously limited by it's era, but I have to say, Steve Reeves made a pretty darn impressive Hercules. The story took an unneeded detour in the middle which drug things down, but overall, this was a pretty solid movie.
As the end rapidly approaches, Adam and Frankie finally meet their namesake.

The constellations are well armed. Several of the star patterns that depict people or gods are carrying weapons. And some of them are in good view at this time of year. As darkness falls, look low in the west for the brilliant star Arcturus. It stands at the base of Botes the herdsman. Like many of the ancient star figures, Botes has different stories, and is drawn in different ways. In most depictions, he’s holding something long and straight against his right side. In some cases, it’s a staff. But in others, it’s a spear. Well above Botes is Hercules, marked by a lopsided box of four stars. He’s wrestling the multi-headed hydra. And in some depictions, he’s holding up a club. In the south, look for Sagittarius. To modern eyes, it forms the outline of a teapot. But to the ancients, those stars formed an archer. The star at the outer edge of the spout is the point where he’s gripping both bow and arrow. And low in the northeast there’s a figure with a unique weapon. Perseus the hero is holding the head of Medusa. In mythology, anyone looking at Medusa was turned to stone. Perseus managed to sever the head, then used it to save the princess Andromeda from a monster. And if you’re stargazing before dawn, there’s another armed figure, well up in the south: Orion the hunter. He has two weapons. He’s holding a club in an upraised arm, with a sword strapped to his belt – a heavily armed figure in the stars. Script by Damond Benningfield
Welcome to Autumn-ish Book Club! In this flash analysis series, we take an academic approach to some of the most talked-about books in Romantasy and fantasy today. With over 13 years of combined academic literary training, we bring a critical lens to fandom favorites while keeping the discussion fun, thought-provoking, and accessible. In this episode, we're discussing Blood of Hercules by Jasmin Mas. We explore how Mas blends Greek mythology with Romantasy storytelling, the way her heroine's journey reframes themes of legacy, sacrifice, and divine power, and how the novel's exploration of fate versus free will shapes both character arcs and narrative tension. We also dive into how Mas's reimagining of Hercules' myth offers fresh commentary on gender, strength, and what it truly means to be a mythical hero in a modern fantasy. This season, we'll be covering: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins A Cruel Thirst by Angela Montoya When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker Where the Shadows Meet by Patrice Caldwell Blood of Hercules by Jasmin Mas Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem And when book club wraps up, get ready! Our next full literary analysis will dive into Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas. If you're new here, we also have full seasons analyzing A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury, A Court of Wings and Ruin, A Court of Frost and Starlight, House of Earth and Blood, House of Sky and Breath, Throne of Glass, and Crown of Midnight. Go back and check those out to see how we break down metaphors, symbolism, narrative structure, and character arcs through multiple literary lenses. Plus, we're thrilled to announce our newest venture: The Subtext Society Journal—the first of its kind, dedicated to Romance, Romantasy, and fandom with an academic yet accessible voice. We're publishing original essays and thought pieces, and we encourage listeners to submit their own articles for a chance to be featured. If you love Sarah J. Maas, Romantasy, and deep literary analysis, you're in the right place. Share your thoughts for a chance to be featured!

“Is Faith a Gift or a Choice?” This episode explores the intersection of faith and popular culture, while also addressing questions about the power of relics in 2 Kings 13:21, the implications of AI-generated art, and the complexities of faith as a gift. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on these diverse topics. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 01:20 – Is Billy Batson sinning by using the powers of Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury? 06:43 – Do you think 2 Kings 13:21 could be used as proof for the power of relics? 10:00 – In a past AMA, you said that if someone were assimilated by the Borg, the state of their soul adjacent to confession would remain unchanged. If someone were assimilated, could they conceivably receive the anointing of the sick? 15:57 – Can AI generated images be considered art? 21:44 – If faith is a gift, how can someone be culpable for not having faith? 29:06 – As it pertains to the dating of the Gospel of John, I think there’s good internal evidence that it’s written before 70 AD, but I’ve heard people say that Irenaeus teaches that it’s dated in the 90-95 AD range. Is there any perspective out there that can hold that both Irenaeus is correct, and a pre-70 AD Gospel of John is correct? (For example, are people just misreading Irenaeus to make it seem like he’s saying it’s in the 90s but in reality he might not even be saying that?) 37:53 – Why is Catholicism a better option than Oriental Orthodoxy? 45:55 – As a Protestant converting to Catholicism, what duty does one have to inform family, friends, and former pastors/church members of one's conversion to Catholicism? How should conversation be done? Any advice? Thanks! 52:42 – Has Catholic Answers thought of making a list of the De Fide statement found in Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma? I know this is a resource used by Catholic Answers and it would be great to have a bullet point list

Will & Grace star Eric McCormack tells us about his latest screen role – in the new BBC One thriller series Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue. McCormack plays one of nine people who survive a plane crash in the Mexican jungle, and aren't aware that a murderer might be lurking in their midst. We hear the true story of a bear who was adopted from a Highland wildlife park in the 70s and became a star of stage and screen, caddying for Bob Hope on the golf course and playing a cameo role in a Bond film. The much-loved Hercules the Bear is brought back to life in a theatre production which is touring Scotland this month. Countertenor David James and music journalist Andrew Mellor discuss the music of one of the most popular of contemporary composers, Arvo Pärt, who has just turned 90 and whose birthday celebrations include the release of a number of CDs and concerts in London and Oxford. And we pay tribute to Italian cinema legend Claudia Cardinale, who has died at the age of 87. Presenter: Kate Molleson Producer: Mark Crossan

With over 13 years of combined academic literary training, we bring a critical lens to fandom favorites while keeping the discussion fun, thought-provoking, and accessible. In this episode, we're discussing Where the Shadows Meet by Patrice Caldwell. We explore how Caldwell reimagines the boundaries between fantasy and horror, the ways she uses atmosphere and tension to interrogate questions of power and identity, and how her characters navigate the blurred line between the real and the uncanny. We also examine the novel's commentary on race, heritage, and belonging—making it not just a haunting story, but a layered contribution to the evolving Romantasy genre.

Enjoyed this episode or the podcast in general? Send me a text message:A devastating cyber attack wipes out power grids, data centers, and satellites. The nation is blind, its leaders cut off, and deterrence hangs by a thread. Yet deep beneath the oceans, ballistic missile submarines—the "boomers"—continue their silent patrol. But how do you reach them when everything else fails?The answer lies in one of America's most unusual military missions. High above the clouds, specialized aircraft drag trailing wires longer than skyscrapers, transforming themselves into flying radio towers. These planes—carrying codenames like "Mercury" and "Phoenix"—serve as the last unbreakable link in the nuclear command chain.Born during the Cold War with the modified C-130 Hercules, the Takumo mission demanded extraordinary airmanship as pilots flew precise patterns while balancing on the edge of stalling. Later, the jet-powered E-6 Mercury expanded capabilities with greater range, speed, and endurance. Today's E-130J Phoenix represents a return to roots with 21st-century technology, combining the reliability of the Super Hercules with advanced communications and cyber-hardened systems.What makes this mission remarkable isn't just the specialized aircraft but the physics behind it. Very Low Frequency signals can travel thousands of miles, bounce off the ionosphere, and even penetrate seawater to reach submarines at depth. Despite our technological advances, these fundamental principles remain unchanged—the trailing wire antenna is still essential, and crews still fly those challenging patterns.The Takumo mission stands as America's ultimate insurance policy—when satellites fail and networks collapse, these aircraft ensure the nuclear deterrent remains credible. They represent not just technological ingenuity but the unwavering vigilance of crews ready to relay what could be the most consequential message in history. Their legacy continues with each flight, a phoenix constantly rising to meet new threats while preserving that essential capability: to be the last whisper in the dark when all other voices fall silent.Support the showTo help support this podcast and become a PilotPhotog ProCast member: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1555784/supportIf you enjoy this episode, subscribe to this podcast, you can find links to most podcast streaming services here: PilotPhotog Podcast (buzzsprout.com) Sign up for the free weekly newsletter Hangar Flyingwith Tog here: https://hangarflyingwithtog.com You can check out my YouTube channel for many videos on fighter planes here: https://youtube.com/c/PilotPhotog If you'd like to support this podcast via Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PilotPhotog And finally, you can follow me on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/pilotphotog
