Show notes
Lasse is back at last and he's chosen the Dwayne Johnson-helmed Hercules (2014) for this return to Review It Yourself. Was it a wise choice? From Lasse, probably! Discussion Points: -Sean and Lasse's podcast relationship. -Renny Harlin's Legend of Hercules. -The surprisingly-layered story in this film. -Snake-killing toddlers. -The swords and sandals era. -The marketing of this film. -Mythos versus reality. -Lasse found the final third of the film to be a let-down. -The shockingly talented cast. -The impact of the rising costs of cinema tickets on this film. Raised Questions: -Why is Lasse always right about films? -Will this film live up to Sean's very low expectations? -What happened to Renny Harlin? -Were the trailers for this film "wildly misleading"? -Is Peter Mullan a hallmark of quality? -How good is Rebecca Ferguson? -Does this film feel like a throwback to some early 2000's films? -Does hair suit Dwayne Johnson? -Do you 'hedge your bets' before going to the cinema? Lasse Recommends: -Snitch (2013). Sean Recommends: -Tyrannosaur (2011). -The Scorpion King (2002). Thanks For Listening!
