Sword & Sandals Wrap-Up Vlog

Three months of exploring Sword & Sandals films has come to a close. It was an interesting journey and I came away seeing a lot of fun films, and a few really great films. From Greek mythology to quests to historical figures to even historically set fictional tales, I enjoyed the adventure focus of male-dominated genre quite a bit. Great stories & heroes were a plenty and although I had favourites in every category I definitely was more taken by Greek mythology focused tales and historically set fictional characters. In the vlog I even go through the films one by one from fave to least fave. Enjoy!

Greek Mythology:
Clash of the Titans (1981)
Clash of the Titans (2010)

Historical Figures / Periods:
