We explore the drastic transformation in Hercules' character from a beloved hero to a grief-stricken avenger, and how his loyal friend Iolus strives to bring him back to his true self. Plus, we’re sharing some laughter over the nostalgic quirks only 90s TV shows can offer.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
dumb cool weird podcast way back wednesdays and
we are starting a series on wayback wednesdays where we're
going to be reviewing umhercules, legendary journeys the
tv show.
Because we like the movie somuch, we kind of want to watch
season one and if we like seasonone we may do keep watching it,
yeah, so here's, uh, season one.
(00:24):
So we watched the pilotepisodes 40 minutes long and it
is a good setup to the show,yeah, and basically it starts
off kind of Hercules saving theday.
Yeah, saving the day.
Not too long after that it'scalled the name of this episode
is the Wrong Path.
Yes, and so basically we kindof knew this was coming.
(00:46):
We've joked about it here andthere, about his family yeah and
uh.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah, you know, hercules saves the night after
beating up a group of thugs, andthen his family gets fireballed
yep, and that's exactly howthey said it.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
No, we're not.
We don't mean fireball, theliquor shots.
We mean fireball like fire hitshim in the face and kills him.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Like, yeah, he just shows up at home.
He's like Dianar boom gone.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yeah, we already knew something was going to happen,
because as soon as he showed up,the thunderstorm clouds rolled
in.
We knew that Hera was coming.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah, you know who didn't show up, though this time
around, Zeus.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah, as usual, didn't see his old Greek ass
running around.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah, kind of disappointing.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
So, yeah, he loses his family and he's all
distraught and sad sittingoutside and then, out of nowhere
, eolus shows up and goesHercules, where you been?
We need to get going.
What are you doing?
And he's like Eolus, myfamily's dead.
And then somehow he wants to gomurder, just straight up.
(01:52):
Murk the gods, the gods.
Yeah, he wants to destroy thetemple.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
And then, yeah, he just keeps going on his way
destroying these shrinesthroughout the town, which is
really funny.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yep and Eolos and him go their separate ways because
Iolos honors his wish.
But he goes and he starts toset up the to destroy his house.
He's going to burn it down.
He's setting up some kindlingall over there.
He's breaking everything in thehouse.
This guy with a staff shows upand he goes oh, I was looking
(02:29):
for somebody, but I guess he'snot here.
And he's like who are youlooking for, hercules?
I am hercules.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
And then the guy's an asshole and he's like he's like
well, this is not the herculesI know.
And he's like he's like I don'towe you anything and goes to
the bar and starts talking shitabout hercules while eolus is
drinking there yep eolus tellshim to shut his fucking mouth
and then the guy accepts thequest.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
And then guy feels bad and he's like, all right,
well, I don't know who to tellwho to come help me.
And then he's like, who, I canhelp you, what do you need?
And he's like he's like, well,I need somebody to come help me
out with a demon.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
A demon that's, uh, turning our young, our youth
into stone.
Yeah, it's, it's what you wouldcall a she demon.
Yes, a uh, a temptress of sorts.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yes, a wench, a wench .
And then Iolos decides to takeon the quest and so he follows
that guy to that town andBurgulius is on his own little
quest, like Nick said,destroying shrines in his way,
and then he goes to an actualtemple and he just starts
(03:24):
fucking up the temple, becausethere was a woman.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
They were like oh no, visitors, today we're punishing
a thief.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yep.
So they're sitting herepunishing this girl who's a
thief and she's over there likeoh, I would like some help.
And he's over here beating theshit out of everybody and he's
just not really holding back onthis one.
He threw a guy into a pillaryeah, pretty sure he's dead.
Yeah, pretty sure that guy'sdead.
And so he just starts likefucking the temple up and he
pushes the you know harrisstatue straight into the fucking
(03:55):
um abyss whatever the fuck itwas the green pool or whatever.
And then, lo and behold, hesaves her.
And then he proceeds to beatthe shit out of the guards with
her.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah, all those guards died.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, they're all dead.
As he was beating the shit outof them with his feet, his head
and her, he manages to get outafter the fucking temple
collapses and then she gets thehots for him because she's a
slave, because we've establishedin the movies that-.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
The slaves don't know how to not be slaves
post-slavery Yep.
So he fre established in themovies that the slaves don't
know how to not be slaves,post-slavery yep.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
So he frees her and then she gets the hots for him,
and then she decides to go on ajourney and she just happens to
be going to the same place thateolus and that other guy going
to which is also the same placeshe escaped slavery from yeah,
ironically enough, she justcan't stay away from slavery.
And so eolus and um and the umand and that guy I don't even
(04:49):
know that guy's name they'relike walking on the path and
then Aeolus goes oh look, younglove.
And then the guy's like no,that's not love, that's the she
demon.
And when I tell you, the shedemon has some of the funniest,
cheesiest effects I've ever seenin the 90s.
It's pretty fucking great.
Basically, the she demon hassome of the funniest, cheesiest
effects I've ever seen in the90s.
It's pretty fucking great.
Basically, the she demon islike a murder mermaid Half of
(05:12):
her is a snake and the sexy halfis still a human.
So she's like basically Medusabut not really, but not really.
No, instead of looking at you,she just touches you with her
tail yeah, the rattle.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Part of her tail makes you stone yeah, the rattle
part of her tail makes youstone.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
But basically she ends up turning this guy to
stone.
And then Yolas is like where ishe at, where do we go?
And basically he takes him towhere all the other statues are
and basically let me get it realquick.
(05:49):
And basically they go like he'sthere, and he's like, oh, look
at this, it's the obviousshe-demon cave, it's shaped like
a goddamn skull.
A skull.
It's like a serpent skull, orsomething yeah with like fangs
hanging off of it.
Yeah, and so Yolas?
You know, we already know Yolasis going to get fucked up,
because you know he just can'tcatch a break.
(06:09):
I think he likes it though,yeah, so he shows up in the cave
to fucking beat this bitch, andyou know, and he doesn't really
do anything, she literally justgrabs him and turns him to
stone.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, and then you know Hercules finally gets there
, yep.
Which I thought was funny.
On the way down there, this oldman's like I'm sorry for your
loss, hercules, and he's like ohwow, news travels fast about my
wife and kids.
He's like your wife andchildren, oh no, I was talking
about Aeolus.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
And then he looks over at the woman and goes
aren't you a slave?
Yeah, and she's just like, yes.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
And then they run into that guy with the staff a
few minutes later and she'stalking back to him.
He's like you're a slave,You're not supposed to be
talking to me, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
And she's like you, dumb asshole.
Don't you realize thatHercules' family is dead?
And then he's like Hercules I'msorry about Aeolus, he was
brave.
And then Hercules is goingtocules.
I'm sorry about Aeolus, he wasbrave.
And then Hercules is going towalk in the cave and you just
see Aeolus like this.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, they left the statue out.
She left the statue out front.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah, it's fucking weird.
It's like she does it and thenI kind of want to see what's
going on behind the scenes whereshe's like.
Yeah, just like pushing thestatue out, yeah, and the
weirdest thing happens.
She sort of like starts comingon to Hercules telling him he's
a fucking sexy beast and likeall this, and then she tries to
(07:35):
get him with the tail, and thenhe.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
He ties her tail around in a knot around a tree.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, well, it was a stalagmite, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's right, yeah, so basically, what ends up happening is they
get into a fight.
She goes these you know what Icall like tunnels that are
probably crawling with spidersand basically fights her and
gets her tail all tied up, andthen he tries to go get her and
(08:01):
then she untangles herself andand then we see some of the
dumbest, like special effectsfor that time period and like
the cgi, which is ridiculously,yeah, and then she tries to go
kill him with her tail and thenhe moves out of the way and she
ends up getting herself yeah, itwas really lame actually yeah,
and then they save the day andthat's basically the whole
(08:22):
fucking episode.
And then hercules and the oluskind of have a moment and he
goes, he goes, uh, he goes,hercules, what are you gonna do
now?
He's like well, my family's notaround anymore, so now I'm
going to go where tomorrow takesme.
And then he just walks off, andthen it starts playing the
theme music.
Yeah, and it's just gone.
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,do, do, do, do, and that's it.
(08:44):
I mean that's literally it.
I love how he's been telling Aego home.
It's like yolas doesn't haveanything on his schedule.
Man, yeah, I mean, he literallydoesn't have a wife anymore.
Yeah, it's like both you guysliterally lost your fucking
families and shit y'all need tostick together.
You know, yeah, you're all youhave in this world, and now
you're telling y'all let's gohome yeah it's like so yeah, so
(09:07):
that was um, that was the pilotepisode for hercules the wrong
path, and I'm assuming it isshowing that hercules was about
to go into his villain arc, butthen he pulled back on that.
Yeah, so, and hair is a bitchyeah, hair is a bitch.
So, um, you know, we talk aboutthe dumb.
(09:29):
Cool and weird.
What would you say was dumbabout this episode?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Huh, you know, I think, what was dumb is that.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Zeus wasn't there.
Yeah, Zeus wasn't there.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
He just couldn't explain it to him.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, because, remember, you know, we kind of
glossed over this, actually wedidn't even talk about it.
He goes to see his mom and hismom's like yeah, zeus came and
told me about what happened toyour family and we're like what
the fuck?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
This is dumb, zeus.
Why didn't you like talk toyour son whose family is dead?
You know you're grandchildren,which he never met, by the way.
No, he did in one of the movies, Remember.
He does show up in like whatwas it the fourth movie?
Because he finally takes up theoffer to go and meet up his
grandchildren.
That's right, that's right.
And then he just never shows upagain to see his like family in
(10:16):
the fifth movie.
He like shows up to Hercules andthen he's like yeah, don't
worry, don't let the family knowI'm here.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Well, it's a bit of spoilers, but you actually don't
see Zeus again for a very longtime in the show.
I think the next time you seehim is like seasons and seasons
later, I believe.
What was he doing?
Taking a hiatus.
I don't know, man, but that'sthe way it happens.
You actually don't see Hera'sform until like the later
seasons.
Too Makes sense, but too makessense, but yeah, so that was
(10:45):
what was dumb about it.
Uh, what was cool about this,in my opinion, is, even though
it's very cheesy, I still thinkthe special effects were pretty
cool yeah, special in a verycheesy kind of way the she demon
it must have.
That must have been really hardto do back then, because cgi was
still relatively new fortelevision back then because
this is how they did net.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
That's basically what they did for nessus.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, it was a similar kind of like visual
effects.
Um, very pain in the ass, like,yeah, pretty much.
Um, I also like the transitionswhen they she would turn them
into stone.
That was pretty oh yeah, thatwas pretty well done.
Um, yeah, and the weird I meanobviously the weird is uh, slave
, the slave, yeah, she, just shecan't figure out whether or not
(11:26):
she wants to be a slave or not.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Slaves in this show are weird.
I escaped slavery, but I'mgoing to go back to the same
place where I'm still a slave.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yep, pretty much Like what the fuck, but this is
going to be a continual series.
We're going to keep watchingthese episodes.
You know me, um, you know meand nick will sit down and watch
more and more episodes of this.
Um, as far as the dumb, coolword podcast, um, what me and
him will figure out, we'll letit be a surprise what the next
movie monday is going to be.

(11:56):

path, and I'm assuming it isshowing that hercules was about
to go into his villain arc, butthen he pulled back on that.
Yeah, so, and hair is a bitchyeah, hair is a bitch.
So, um, you know, we talk aboutthe dumb.
(09:29):
Cool and weird.
What would you say was dumbabout this episode?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Huh, you know, I think, what was dumb is that.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Zeus wasn't there.
Yeah, Zeus wasn't there.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
He just couldn't explain it to him.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, because, remember, you know, we kind of
glossed over this, actually wedidn't even talk about it.
He goes to see his mom and hismom's like yeah, zeus came and
told me about what happened toyour family and we're like what
the fuck?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
This is dumb, zeus.
Why didn't you like talk toyour son whose family is dead?
You know you're grandchildren,which he never met, by the way.
No, he did in one of the movies, Remember.
He does show up in like whatwas it the fourth movie?
Because he finally takes up theoffer to go and meet up his
grandchildren.
That's right, that's right.
And then he just never shows upagain to see his like family in
(10:16):
the fifth movie.
He like shows up to Hercules andthen he's like yeah, don't
worry, don't let the family knowI'm here.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Well, it's a bit of spoilers, but you actually don't
see Zeus again for a very longtime in the show.
I think the next time you seehim is like seasons and seasons
later, I believe.
What was he doing?
Taking a hiatus.
I don't know, man, but that'sthe way it happens.
You actually don't see Hera'sform until like the later
seasons.
Too Makes sense, but too makessense, but yeah, so that was
(10:45):
what was dumb about it.
Uh, what was cool about this,in my opinion, is, even though
it's very cheesy, I still thinkthe special effects were pretty
cool yeah, special in a verycheesy kind of way the she demon
it must have.
That must have been really hardto do back then, because cgi was
still relatively new fortelevision back then because
this is how they did net.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
That's basically what they did for nessus.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, it was a similar kind of like visual
effects.
Um, very pain in the ass, like,yeah, pretty much.
Um, I also like the transitionswhen they she would turn them
into stone.
That was pretty oh yeah, thatwas pretty well done.
Um, yeah, and the weird I meanobviously the weird is uh, slave
, the slave, yeah, she, just shecan't figure out whether or not
(11:26):
she wants to be a slave or not.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Slaves in this show are weird.
I escaped slavery, but I'mgoing to go back to the same
place where I'm still a slave.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yep, pretty much Like what the fuck, but this is
going to be a continual series.
We're going to keep watchingthese episodes.
