Movies We Dig | Film, Antiquity and Everything in Between

De: Movies We Dig
  • Resumen

  • Is it a movie podcast? Is it a history podcast? Is it an unholy union of the two? Short answer: yes!Each episode, hosts Colin MacCormack, Elijah Fleming and Christie Vogler break down a new movie about Greece, Rome or the wider ancient world and what works (or doesn’t work) about them. But this isn’t a podcast for nitpicking historical inaccuracies. Rather, it’s a chance to get hot takes on Hollywood films from professional nerds/academics and take a closer look at the relation between our movies and our pasts.

    Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • KAOS at CAMWS (2025), with Amy Pistone
    Apr 11 2025
    That's right! We packed our bags with recording equipment and made our way to the annual meeting of the Classical Association of the Midwest and South to talk about the 2024 Netflix show, KAOS. Filling in for Colin as co-host is fan favorite Amy Pistone, and our special guest for this episode is our first ever live audience!. While we might be at an academic conference, we can't help but do things the Movies We Dig way by drinking wine and dropping f-bombs throughout our analysis of KAOS. To learn more about Amy and her work, be sure visit her website. Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/zoo/imagine

  • The Pyramid (2014), with Briana Jackson
    Mar 28 2025

    This episode could totally rewrite our chronology of pyramid movies! Join us as we uncover the tomb of unspeakable (unwatchable?) horrors that is the 2014 found-footage horror film, The Pyramid. Joined by super special guest and Egyptologist extraordinaire Briana Jackson, we attempt to make sense of this confusing three-sided pyramid. We talk cannibal cats, abused camera men and why is Anubis is actually a good boy who did nothing wrong.

  • Epic: The Musical (2024), with Wren Fleming
    Mar 14 2025

    Social media may be a dumpster fire these days, but every once in a while it takes us by surprise. In this case, it’s a new take on Homer’s Odyssey as a concept album titled Epic with music and lyrics by Jorge “Jay” Rivera-Herrans. Bopping along to all the highs and lows of this musical experience is the lovely Wren Fleming, a writer and long time friend of the podcast. Maybe we’re all musical theater kids at heart, because this is one of our favorite examples of reception since, well, Hadestown. Now if we can just get it on stage, glasses-wearing Polites and all!
