In this episode of So Many Sequels, Josh Gammon, Garrett Powders, and David Prock dig into Disney's 1997 Hercules for week three of Mythology Month — the extremely American, gospel-choir version of the Greek myth that somehow still works.
In this episode:
-The wild casting history behind Hades
-Why the Muses might be the best storytelling device in any Disney movie
-Disney's Americanization of Greek mythology, and why the backlash from Greece makes sense
-Ranking "Go the Distance," "Zero to Hero," and "I Won't Say (I'm in Love)"
-The Michael Bolton needle drop nobody saw coming
-Three different star ratings — and the real Letterboxd number
