It ain't easy being green, if Ray Charles is to be believed. Probably the same with Kermit, Yoda, and 1970s Hulk icon Lou Ferrigno. SIck and tired of playing second fiddle to Bill Bixby, Lou moved on to portray the mythological hero Hercules in 1983. I remember really loving this movie when I was a kid, but watching it now through my cynical middle-aged eyes, it's clearly not as "mighty" as I once thought. In other words, perfect fodder for my podcast! Now, I'm just bright enough to realize I probably shouldn't make fun of big musclebound bodybuilders who could easily snap me in half like a twig, so let the record show that I still love this Hercules movie, even if it's mainly for the unintentional giggles it inspires. Lending a bit of highbrow class to the proceedings, the esteemed Professor (no kidding!) Dave Chan is here as well, providing astute observations and numerous Dokken references. Take your ears on an adventure and listen now! The gods are still laughing up on Mt. Olympus.
