Hercules in New York – Dare Daniel Podcast Episode 86
“Hercules schmercules!”
Daniel and Corky descend from Olympus to review the fish-out-of-water monkeyshines of Arthur Allan Seidelman’s Hercules in New York.
A movie seemingly devoid of second takes, this debut film for 22-year-old Arnold Schwarzenegger (née Strong) is a doggerel-filled, painfully unfunny, low-budget comedy set in Midnight Cowboy-era NYC.
Elsewhere, Daniel and Corky discuss cardboard thunderbolts, frenzied mandolins and Stang-provisation.
