“Oh man, I bet those movies are fuckin dumb if there’s that many," he says cheerfully. He can tell she's not a fan. Adia may have reservations about trash-talking Hercules, but Freddy does not. “I’d watch ‘em, but I don’t know if I’d necessarily like ‘em. I mean you got to understand, there’s movies that are dumb, and then there’s movies that are so goddamn brain-dead and absurd it takes your breath away to realize something so insane and ridiculous could actually get made and be a thing that exists.”
Could the Hercules franchise really compare to the dregs of all that campy schlock from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s? That is a challenge: if Adia’s thinking about those dumb movies, at least it takes her mind off things.
Unfortunately, none of those other names she mentions ring a bell except for the Minotaur, which he remembers as a half-monster, half-man thing. Ancient Greece did have some weird myths, didn't they. Those Hercules movies probably could get pretty bizarre if the creators set their mind to it.
“I did see a comic book character here,” he decides to mention by way of reply. “I wanted to say hi, but...” But instead he panicked and ducked behind a trashcan.
