1 - Jason and the Argonauts (1963)

Hi everyone! Welcome to "At The Drive-In", a podcast where I talk about movies from the 30s to the 60s. I will be looking at the plot, themes, characters, funny anecdotes, and anything worth knowing about the movies! I am just here to have some fun and share my interest in these oldies with people who also enjoy watching them. Today I discuss Jason and the Argonauts (1963). I recount the pretty complicated plot, go over the iconic stop-motion animation scenes, compare the movie version with the actual myth of Jason (especially concerning the role of Medea), and overall have a great time!
