This was a fantastic read. So many things to think about on so many levels. In 2020 I adapted and staged a version of Jason and the Argonauts. It opened one night in March and closed the next (COVID). I always hoped we would revisit it just to recreate the stage combat.

Thank you, Peggy! And, ug, fucking Covid.

If you revisit, and you're driving distance from Baltimore, I wanna be a skeleton! Or a short Talos :)

This was a great read! I have not seen Jason and the Argonauts but this piece kind of reminds me of Mystery Science Theater 3000 but for marketing.

Thanks, Nathan. I've got a thing, obviously, for Harryhausen's stop action so was not a hardship to watch this one again. I didn't get the idea directly from MST, but it was definitely an inspiration.
