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, 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.

We did it! Xena Episode 134: A Friend in Need Part II - The one where Xena dies. No not that one, the one where she dies and Gabby has a plan to bring her back. No not that one either.

But what if we just started making up episodes that happen between seasons 3 and 4 is the question that those putting together Xena Episode 132: Soul Possession weren't afraid to ask. It's a flashback episode to an episode that didn't happen framed by things happening in the future, and there are soul swaps, and soul contracts, and soul ice cream. …

Sometimes you just can't get sacrificed in Xena Episode 131: Many Happy Returns.

Sometimes an episode is just bad. Xena Episode 128: Send in the Clones. Did you ever wonder what if everyone just gave up for the week and put together a really bad episode? Congrats. Its this. The panel gets expressly not sentimental. Hercules of Radio: Brian His Faithful Sidekick: Producer Mark The Xena of Podcasts: Meg Her Devoted Partner: Lucas…

What if our ultimate send off to the Amazons was just a greatest hit of getting themselves killed and outsmarted and throw in some betrayl as well!

Xena Episode 124: The God You Know - Also long as Xena doesn't do something dumb like try to murder the Archangel Michael she should easily be able to kill Caligula who is Roman emperor now and is slowly sucking the life out of Aphrodite. Ares also appears, largely to dump plot and chill in a roman jail. The panel has scintillating talk about rules…

Xena Episode 123: Dangerous Prey - Its the episode that has the courage to ask 'What if all the Amazons are just big dumb dumbs now?' An Amazon tribe goes and gets itself slowly killed by using horror movie logic to investigate a problem. "Sure I'll just go off into the woods alone like the last 8 amazons who died!" Hercules of Radio: Brian His Fai…

Maybe.....maybe we should all skip the one that's all about cannibals with Xena Ep 118: The Abyss Seriously, that's it, Gabby gets slathered in mud and stuff and cannibals eat a friend of Virgil. The panel inexplicably remembers Alias and Dark Angel, but in the way that they only acknowledge that those things did sort of exist. Our Own Hercules of …

It's an episode which in some parallel world wasn't released late and is absolutely timely with its references to 2021 and totally timing things right. Timing it as if it released One December Night - A story or two star crossed older musicians and their attractive offspring who have to help them get the band back together as Bruce Campbell goes of…

Hell can't wait in Xena Episode 115: Heart of Darkness We get 7 deadly sins and a constantly changing rulebook as Xena makes a play at tricking Lucifer to find that its better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven. And yet that old Devil seems barely up to the task. Eve continues her reign of bad fashion choices and ill defined God adjacent powers. …

It's still a weekly show we swear with Xena Episode 114: The Haunting of Amphipolis. Xena doesn't do the math and presumes her mom didn't die in the 25 years she's been gone. Wrong, Mom built the tavern on a hellmouth or such so Xena has to easily best the leader of hell. Gabby as usual is bad at dealing with Hell. Eve has the power of Eli compelli…

The panel surprisingly enough hasn't died and actually have managed to sojourn into Xena season 6 and we open with episode 113: Coming Home. Another rag tag bunch of on their last legs amazons is on the verge of being wiped out by an Ares driven mad by the furies to reclaim his Godhood. And yet its all kind of a hot mess.

This day all (most) Gods (and Goddesses) die in Xena Episode 112: Motherhood. Eve gets purified! Gabby gets furious! Ares gets shot! Xena goes on a roaring rampage!

Well that whole gonna have a good childhood thing really didn't work out in Xena Episode 110: Livia.

The team learns that Meg is hunting aliens in the sky …

It's the future! In Xena Episode 109: Looking Death In the Eye. And by the Future I mean a flashback to the past, which was previously the shows present.

Brian oversleeps and misses the show, which turns out to be a blessing for him as Mark, Meg and Lucas dive into Xena: Episode 107: Kindred Spirits. Would you like to see the worst version of Joxer possible? Just bottom basement sketchy Joxer? The Joxer that's going to be the last Joxer Xena and Gabby see before they jump 25 years? First off, why wo…

What if you made a pilot that didn't get picked up and you wanted to recoup the costs? We' get Amazon High with Xena Episode 106: Lifeblood. The whole panel returns to decide whether or not its a good thing that a 90s teen cheerleader is in fact responsible for naming and leading the Amazons. Also the panel is old and forgetful now in the middle ag…

And now, as we do every week when we totally biff our recording schedule - Baywatch Nights! Baywatch Nights Episode 3: Silent Witness answers the question "Could you have an episode where the writers forgot to come in that week?" Join us for the nonsensical carnival circus fight stay for the runaway situation that clearly ends very badly off screen…

Team disunity continues but Meg and Lucas go forward with Xena Episode 105: Married With Fishsticks. It's a Xena-lite with Gabrielle finding it was all a dream, and also that that all a dream was about being in a terrible mermaid episode, that is so so so very bad. Also Shoe Talk. Our Own Hercules of Radio: Brian His Faithful Sidekick: Producer Mar…
  continue reading
 
The team finally gets (mostly) back together for Xena 104: Amphipolis Under Siege - Where Athena decides its time for her to take a crack at killing off Xena's child. Ares shows up to offer some less than sweet lovin' and Gabrielle is going to lead yet another rag tag army. Xena's mom also shows up to witness some God bedding shenanigans. The panel…

A normal schedule still eludes us, but Meg and Lucas stumble on Monster Ark, where Renee O'Connor goes looking for the lost Ark of Noah, no not the people evacuating Ark, the one Noah built to seal up evil and all that. Also flashback to when malls were cool, because they aren't now. Mount Olympus is a product of Retrograde Orbit Radio, and is brou…

And now, as we do every week when we totally biff our recording schedule - Baywatch Nights! Look, Baywatch Nights is a bad show, but how many shows have rollerblade crimes? Baywatch Nights Episode 2: Bad Blades surely does. All the crime John O'Hurley can crime up. Meanwhile Remember One Arm the Wampa? Mount Olympus is a product of Retrograde Orbit…

Its Xena 103: Eternal Bonds Gods wanna kill Xena, Ares wants to hook up with Xena, Joxer would like Gabrielle to explain why she doesn't love him, also save him from super deadly poison because of that whole Gods wanting to kill Xena thing. Also this podcast recording seems cursed. Our Own Hercules of Radio: Brian His Faithful Sidekick: Producer Ma…

Xena steers back into the serious side as we bid a series farewell to Hercules, kill a few gods, and welcome a new child. Also, the panel talks about bad cider and angry seltzer. 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 …
  continue reading
 
Wait this isn't the three stooges, but we're gonna solve Xena Ep 101: Punch Lines with a whole bunch of pies in the end anyway. The story is mostly about how its not quite a real clip show, and Argo and Gabby get shrunk, and Joxer is a loyal traveling companion though not all that useful. Also Gabby meets Sad God of the Sadboys. Xena is here mostly…
  continue reading
 
It's finally here. Xena Ep 100: Lyre, Lyre, Hearts on Fire. Friends it is finally time for the bands to do battle, to meet Joxer's other brother, to put Gabby in a Go-Go costume and find that War! (Hooh, Good God Ya'll) is good for absolutely nothin' Brian and Mark went into actual public to an actual movie and went to an actual restaurant and had …

There's no side discussion because all side discussions are main discussions! 5th chair Daoud drops by as we look back on the series that was and go on one last legendary journey. The panel does opt not to discuss Porkules because the last time they did that they turned a 45 minute episode into a 2 hour discussion. Our Own Hercules of Radio: Produc…

Ares is back baby in Xena Ep 99: Seeds of Faith. Eli is gonna fight the Gods with peace. Angel Callisto is going to try and finally make peace.

Somehow, Xena manages to log another clunker of an episode, completing an exceedingly rare three episode run of under-par episodes. 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…

We're almost there folks, but before we do the end let's skip almost the whole way back to the beginning with that last clip show of a final TV movie before the series proper: Hercules in the Maze of the Minotaur. To say this one is uneven is probably a bit too kind to it. Much like the jarring kindness and pleasantness that Hercules and Zeus are s…
  continue reading
 
We leave Chin for all of 12 seconds and its right back because Xena left the undead black powder on in Xena Episode 97: Back in the Bottle. This uneven episode proves they can't all be winners. Because this one isn't a winner the panel takes an inordinate amount of time talking about how in college gym class none of them were winners. Yes you read …
