Ancient Aliens on History Channel
What can I say about this show that hasn’t already been said more eloquently by others, dozens of times before? In case nobody else noticed, I’d like to point out that I’ve been unable to find anybody interviewed on that … Continue reading

[film] XANADU (1980)
I’m totally prepared for other people to give me shit for my tastes in film on this site — I’ve put up with plenty enough about it on the Hellenistai forum already, so it’s not going to surprise me to … Continue reading

(1956) FIRE MAIDENS FROM OUTER SPACE vs MST3K
First off, I want to make it clear that this peplum/MST3K joint series has made me seriously appreciate with Joel Hodgeson and Mike Nelson, and the rest of the MST3K team have made their life’s work. While I found Hercules … Continue reading

HERCULES AGAINST THE MOON MEN (1964) vs MST3K
This is a film that hates its audience. But before I extrapolate on that, some background: In the original Italian, this is NOT a Herakles film — it’s a “Maciste” film. I discovered this because, before I went into it, … Continue reading
HERCULES UNCHAINED (1959) vs MST3K “Hercules Unchained”
For those of you who haven’t yet read the first chapter in this Sword & Sandal / Peplum and MST3K double series, I refer you to the first part, which is especially important if you’re still unfamiliar with the power … Continue reading

HERCULES (1958) vs. MST3K “Hercules”
As both a sucker for old sword-n-sandal action, and (as loathe as I am to admit, especially with my English grandparents probably watching from the Underworld) somewhat of a product of the American Midwest, I realised that I had to … Continue reading

Rhea’s Obsession – INITIATION
1996; re-issued 2001, Metropolis Records As an ex-Goth, I’d previously only been familiar with Rhea’s Obsession through a string of songs they’ve recorded for compilations, usually tribute albums that tend to be really hit-or-miss to begin with, and probably since … Continue reading

Seeking submissions and contributors
Hellenistai.com will be focused on media reviews of relevance to the Hellenic polytheist community (recon or otherwise). There are a lot of books out there of varying quality and sometimes people just don’t know where to start — there are also lots of other media items, including (but not limited to) films, music, and games, that may be of interest to the Hellenic community, also of varying quality, and you may want to read a review first before picking them up or checking them out for yourself.
