WWTD 045 - Hercules: You Mean Hunkules

We Want The D is back after our week off, and ready to finish off 2015 with Disney's animated film that defines the all-American hero: Hercules. Sure, he may be based on a Greek myth, but that doesn't stop our beloved House of Mouse from turning him into an icon of athleticism and can-do spirit with his own brand of energy drink and sneakers, complete with backing gospel chorus. The question is - do Vicky, Nolan and Jill let a bit of anachronism and cultural co-option get in the way of having a good time with this brightly coloured mid-90s palate cleanser? Or maybe we can just distract ourselves with James Woods' stellar turn as Hades, or Susan Egan's heavily sexualized Meg. We hope all you D Lovers out there have a wonderful New Year, and rest assured we will Go The Distance just like Wonder Boy and his rippling pectorals to bring you more D in 2016!
