32. Mythology on Film: Troy, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Hercules

from Girls Talk Film · host Maggie Mustion & Olivia Hanson

This week, the girls are getting fated. Tune in to hear them unpack Wolfgang Petersen's sweeping war epic Troy (2004), Yorgos Lanthimos' modern tragedy, The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017), and Disney’s colorful, music-filled take on Hercules (1997). Along the way, they get into how each film transforms its source material, why Greek myths have continued to resonate across genres and time periods. With doomed heroes, angry gods, and giant monsters, this episode has enough drama to make Euripides proud, so saddle up your chariot and don’t forget to leave a review for more movie chat, film analysis, and pop culture commentary!
