In this episode, me and Victor test my wife’s theory that a volcano exploding makes a movie better by reviewing 2014’s Pompeii. TLDL – this movie was pretty awful. However, the volcano exploding did improve what was otherwise a flaming pile of garbage. In our review, we bring back McNulty Subplot, spend a lot of time discussing how could this movie be made better, nickname Kit Harrington’s character “Roman Snow” and complain about this movie wasting an excellent cast.
If you have seen the movie and have any thoughts on how it could’ve been better, please reach out and let us know. I’ll read your ideas on the next movie review episode. If we get enough submissions, I’ll do a special episode.
The theme music is from Brent Arehart. Please call the pod (540-632-0160), leave a message and you’ll get in an episode. Let me know what you think about what we think in the comments, on Bluesky, on Mastodon, on Reddit, or on Instagram.
And never forget that The Classical Antiquity Sidequest is a podcast without end.
