Mount Olympus - The Hercules And Xena Podcast

India Part 2 with Xena: Episode 83 Between the Lines - The panel is at a complete loss to explain this one that involves reincarnation, but more preincarnation, and also they fight Alti?  But like a future incarnation, but then their current selves fight the future incarnation?  This ones a hot mess. The panel discusses the merits of Hawaiian Shirts.

Its another strange one with Hercules Episode 96: Greece is Burning.  Herc goes and sees old dance partner Althea who is pursuing her life long passion of 'not dance' in the fashion industry, in a town of fashion police.  Madame Twanky and Right Said Fred come in with assists.

  Time to go to India in Xena Episode 82: Devi - Things are shall we say lightly problematic when it seems like Gabrielle might be a venerated Holy Healing Goddess in an Indian Town.   Mount Olympus is a product of Retrograde Orbit Radio, and is brought to you by the following Retrograde Orbit Radio players: Our Own Hercules of Radio: Brian His Faithful Sidekick: Producer Mark The Xena of Podcasts: Meg Her Devoted Partner: Lucas Find us on Facebook or Twitter @MountOlympusPod Email the show: MountOlympusPod@gmail.com Check out our website: www.retrogradeorbitradio.com  

  Everyone except the showrunners decide they need to let old Iolaus go in Hercules Episode 95 - Just Passing Through - The panel starts off questioning why everything feels seasons oneish until it dawns on them that Hercules is telling the viewer how every episode of Hercules plays in his mind and suddenly it becomes a piece of brilliance.   Mount Olympus is a product of Retrograde Orbit Radio, and is brought to you by the following Retrograde Orbit Radio players: Our Own Hercules of Radio: Producer Brian His Faithful Sidekick: Producer Mark The Xena of Podcasts: Meg Her Devoted Partner: Lucas  

It's Xena Episode 81: Paradise Found - Which the panel treats as a horrific dystopia of an episode.  Not because it introduces anything so interesting, but because we're treated to the 700th iteration of Xena not being good enough for Gabrielle.  We wanted the story of a Goodness vampire to be better, but alas it is not. Brian and Meg talk about doomscrolling and that conversation hits the cutting room floor, while Lucas and Meg rock the dinosaur.  Mount Olympus is a product of Retrograde Orbit Radio, and is brought to you by the following Retrograde Orbit Radio players: Our Own Hercules of Radio: Brian His Faithful Sidekick: Producer Mark The Xena of Podcasts: Meg Her Devoted Partner: Lucas Find us on Facebook or Twitter @MountOlympusPod Email the show: MountOlympusPod@gmail.com Check out our website: www.retrogradeorbitradio.com

The show has buyer's remorse over the 'Kill your best friend sidekick package' and so we go to Stranger World for Hercules Episode 94 - Stranger and Stranger, where Herc can encounter an alternate version of Iolaus as long as we retcon everything that made Strange world important.  Also Love God Ares shows up baby. The panel talks about board games and lemon bar mix.

  Gabby wears a sack and Xena halfhearted stops a warlord and Aphrodite and Joxer are....here I guess, and there's a little girl who needs to learn about Cinderella to get along with her stepmother, in a choice of tale that can only be behind Snow White for bad choices of tale to choose if you're trying to get someone to love their stepmother. Also the panel is made up of old people who are certainly not 'with it' like the kids these days.

  It is certainly an episode that exists / happens with Herc vs. the volcano in Hercules: Episode 93 - Sky High. Hercules and inexplicably Ephiny team up with a bunch of people that don't matter to divert a volcano with magic rocks from Atlantis.  Srsly. Mark tries to sell the panel real hard on watching instead the Kurt Russell super hero high school movie Sky High.

In an unusually timely episode we hit Xena Episode 79: Daughter of Pomira - Xena and Gabby get mixed up in a real complicated story of racial hatred that doesn't tie a nice bow on it to make everyone feel good at the end. Xena gets over her hate Captain Kirk Star Trek VI style and Gabby fails to read the room throughout the entire episode. This one is going to be kind of serious folks.

Finally after all of this time, all of this absurd time we bring down Dahak in Hercules Episode 92 - Redemption! Is it a good one? Well let's sidestep a direct answer to that and say Dahak is going to lose and we'll spend five minutes or so discussing whether or not Zoroastrianism is the one true way. Also, it's a podcast, so we commit the sin of talking about our D&D characters....again.

We take a break from heavy story and invest in heavy shenanigans  with Xena Episode 78: The Key to the Kingdom.  We spend very little time with Xena and a lot of time with Meg as she goes Kingnapping with Joxer and Autolycus Also we explore the wild world of The Cutting Edge.

We're just about to bring down the house on this whole Dahak business with Hercules Episode 91 - Let There Be Light - Spoilers it might rule.

  Alright, this time we've got all the backstory now for sure, full stop no foolin' in Xena Episode 77 - Past Imperfect. Xena gets hit in the head and gains the power of....memory apparently.  And we flashback to the Borias Warlord times and occasionally flash forward to the Xena Gabby get nailed to a cross times. Also the whole panel is back together to talk about flight sims and star wars.

  Friend of The Show Adam returns as they finally, finally tackle the next Hercules movie Hercules and the Circle of Fire. We meet Herc's future wife and Zeus is.....there I guess?  Look this one is mostly aimless.  And it sort of almost retells a story of Prometheus, kind of, but not really.  Which is also the review we give if asked is this a real Hercules movie?  Kind of, but not really. Mount Olympus is an episode by episode review of the smash 90s television programs "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" and its spinoff "Xena: Warrior Princess," which still enjoy unparalleled cultural relevance today! Or ... at least they do in the hearts of our hosts. Kevin Sorbo, Lucy Lawless, Michael Hurst, Renee O'Connor and friends (along with fan favorite Bruce Campbell!) stomp, fight, and flirt their way through the New Zealand countryside - and we break it down week by week.

Meg and Lucas rescue the show and make sure there is some forward momentum as Mark and Brian aren't around to review Hercules Episode 90 - For Those of You Just Joining Us - Everything goes off the rails in this modern day episode where the writers room is being stalked by a killer.

Meg and Lucas take the helm as Brian and Mark are lost somewhere in the isolation mines and the excuse 'off on assignment' isn't going to hold up. So while there is no normal podcast this week, and no eurovision this year, we thought that meant it was the perfect time to talk about all your unmet eurovision needs that you didn't know you needed.

Gabby gets a bit of the ole' wandering eye and Xena remembers that flashback from the beginning of the season in Xena Episode 76: Crusader.  Gabby's new crush might be the ideal of the light, you know aside from that pesky 'freeing of souls' and all. Episode somehow descends into Pratchett talk.
