Hello Listeners! Today we return to this podcast's debut topic, Wolfgang Petersen’s Troy! Joined by special guest Joel Christensen @sentantiq.bsky.social, we revisit this oddly situated film that was the 2004 attempt to keep the Gladiator train going. #AncientBlueskyyoutube.com/shorts/B1LyG...
Spurned by many, beloved by some, and forgotten by most, this film sits at an interesting crossroads in Hollywood and classical reception. Is it a secret masterpiece? Probably not. Is it an interesting mirror of what had, and was yet, to come? Definitely.
