The Weekly Planet - Jason and the Argonauts (Extended) - Caravan Of Garbage

Episode Date: July 2, 2026

By way of Christopher Nolan, The Odyssey is hitting cinemas in July, an epic fantasy action bonanza based on Homer's Odyssey. Its use of scale and practical effects harken back to the movies and stories he grew up on, including this one, Jason and the Argonauts from 1963. Featuring groundbreaking effects from stopmotion and dynomation wizard Ray Harryhausen, he considers it the pinnacle of his work, with the giant bronze statue Talos, the seven headed Hydra and of course the skeleton battle sequence. Join us this week and the next two as we explore more of the inspirations behind The Odyssey and thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review.SUBSCRIBE HERE ►► http://goo.gl/pQ39jNVideo Edition ►Help support the show and get early episodes ► https://bigsandwich.co/Patreon ► https://patreon.com/mrsundaymoviesJames' Twitter ► http://twitter.com/mrsundaymoviesMaso's Twitter ► http://twitter.com/wikipediabrownPatreon ► https://patreon.com/mrsundaymoviesT-Shirts/Merch ► https://www.teepublic.com/stores/mr-sunday-moviesThe Weekly Planet iTunes ► https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-weekly-planet/id718158767?mt=2&ign-mpt=uo%3D4The Weekly Planet Direct Download ► https://play.acast.com/s/theweeklyplanetAmazon Affiliate Link ► https://amzn.to/2nc12P4 Hosted on Acast.

Welcome back everybody to another episode of Caravanna Garbage. Ah, Mason, this will... You've stuffed it, though. This will have to go in all versions. Okay. Welcome back everybody to another episode of Caravanna Garbage, where, in anticipation of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey... Epic.

Epic. Epic. Epic Bacon. No. His most epic bacon movie yet. Oh, yeah, maybe. Yeah, I think so. I want to look at... Sorry, we want to look at, joint decision.

I don't want to look at anything. I want to have a lie down. You can lie down and look at things. I guess that's true, yeah. We want to look at three films that are a direct inspiration for his adaptation. You think he'd say that? Has he said that? I've got quotes every week for every movie, Mason.

All right, okay. So don't even worry about it. You've got the receipts. Yeah. Okay. This may also be part of our famous Tank the Algorithm series. Yeah. Next week we'll do all right, but either side of that,

I don't think this is going to be very good, especially old movie. Old movie? Blur. Long credits. Blu. At the start? And none of it's flying through DNA. But also, yeah. It's pretty good, right? It's pretty fun. This is Jason and the Argonauts. That's right. Please leave a like for, I don't know, some people probably associated with this movie are still alive. They'll feel it, they'll hear it. They'll hear that click. Of their life support machine being turned off? Yes, for every like that is registered a life support system is turned off.

Not even if they're associated with this movie. And if you know, that's a new Google initiative. It's called Let's Kill a bunch of old people. I don't like it. While poisoning the brains of children or anybody, really. New initiative. I like it again. Anyway, here's the Christopher Nolan quote.

Here we go. As a filmmaker, you're looking for gaps in cinematic culture, things that haven't been done before. And what I saw is that there's all this great mythological cinematic work that I've grown up with. Ray Harryhausen movies and other things. I'd never seen that done with. the sort of weight and credibility that an A budget and a big Hollywood IMAX production can do. This is also an ad for The Odyssey, I guess. I mean, we're not being paid.

Clearly not. Not yet. Not yet, but if we turn off enough life support machines, maybe they'll throw us some coin, you know what I mean? He says he's got to add some weight and credibility, and by that obviously he means throwing the Christopher Olin scarf on it. Absolutely. And also, is he never heard of clash and or wrath of the Titans, two movies we've looked at, but not the 1981 one that Ray Harryhausen was also involved in. Also, Ray Harryhausen didn't even direct this movie. No, he didn't. It was directed by some guy called Don Chaffy. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Big Don Chaff. Big Don C. So yeah, just a brief history of Ray Harry Housen's work. There is also a documentary, it's on YouTube, it's narrated by

Leonard Nimoy where he takes you through his life and how he got things done and how he made certain jumps in his career and people who helped him along the way. It's well worth a look. It's called Ray H through J. Yeah. It's about Ray H, Ray J, and all the stuff he got up to. He founded RayCon. He did. And then some guy called Ray I.

I don't know that guy is. Here's a picture, though. We'll find somebody notable who did a crime. Anyways, the big cinematic jump for Ray Harry Housen was his work on Mighty Joe Young. He was also inspired by King Kong, of course, which came earlier than that. A movie we've also looked at, which is incredible. Tank the algorithm. Tank it hard, and we did.

Ray Harry Housen also. So he regards this movie as his best work. And I think that's probably true of all the ones that I have seen. This movie? Yes, this movie. All the Sinbad movies. Oh, okay, yep. You know, remember they were just on during the day as a kid?

Yeah, sometimes. Yeah, but this is the one. You know, this has the iconography. Yeah. You know, the moments that you remember. Absolutely. So, as you mentioned, he did not direct this, but he did conceive of the film

and he helped shape many of the creative choices behind this. So, yeah, which makes sense. Because one of the things that he does so well is it did so well. We turned it off. Is that he breeds life into creatures. He gives them personalities. 100%. They stumble.

They kind of like they breathe. They rust. They rust. They do. Anyways, what's the story of this? Okay. Well, we've got Todd Armstrong as Jason. He's a real...

Well, he's also Jason in body only. Oh, they've dubbed the voice. They dubbed him over with British actor Tim Turner, who was paid $1,200 quid. and he did the dub in about 48 hours and it was a studio note. Okay, there you go. This, Jason, a real Jack Whitehall looking ass, Jason. Let me tell you.

But at least he's, at least you can tell him apart from the other guys. Well, yeah, that's the problem. That's a problem. You can tell the skeletons apart more than all those guys. Here's all the guys. Here's all his fellas, the Argonauts. One of these guys is Hercules.

See if you can guess which one it is. Three, two, one. It's that guy. You didn't know that. Maybe the arrows on the wrong guy, though. You'll never know. So, yeah, so at the beginning of the movie, a guy called Pallius,

takes over a city or whatever in the name of the gods. He kills Jason's mom. Yeah, and there's a... When he's only baby Jace. That's right. And there's a prophecy that states that, look, you're having a good time now. Look, we're all having a laugh now.

That's right. But down the line, there's going to be a man with one sandal, and that man is going to be your downfall, which could be any guy just putting his shoes on. Exactly. You just get... You catch a guy. mid putting sandals on?

That's my nemes and my downfall. Get him. Get him, fellas. So Jason turns up, though, and rescues this guy, his nemesis, not knowing it is his nemesis, loom behold, loses a sandal in the process. That's right. Well, don't mind my naked foot. And then Pallius, Pallios, says, I'm with you.

We should kill this guy, who's me, by the way. So I'm going to send you off on an epic quest to get the... Epic Bacon Quest. Epic... lamb quest. Lamb quest. Can you make lamb bacon? Yeah, probably.

All right. All right. To get the golden fleece because that's what you need to kill me. I mean, the guy, your enemy. That's right. Because the idea is that also, as long as Jason is alive, he is alive. So you send him off on this impossible quest that will probably take forever. Yeah, send him on a dangerous quest.

Yeah, that's right, exactly. Anyway, the gods are hanging out. They're watching bathing pool TV. They love it. And of course, they've got a bunch of arbitrary rules for things they do. and don't do. This is the olden days also, so there's only one channel. It's looking at Earth. And God, this is a bit boring, isn't it? Yeah. Can we send down some plagues and stuff? Not today. Yeah. Can we just make, I don't know, big, like, just stashes of treasure and just booby-trapped them with, like, giant mechanical robot men or whatever?

Yes. And then we'll just see what happens eventually, I guess. Someone will find it eventually. There are some rules, aren't there? Yeah, sort of. So the goddess her is allowed to help Jason. Three times or something? Five times? Five times? Does she actually do it five times? No. I don't think so. It wasn't relevant. Yeah. You know?

He doesn't waste four on like, hey, can you help me tie my sandal? No, no, no, no. And then there's a big, you know, build up to the last one or whatever. Mm-hmm. Doesn't happen. Well, you've saving it for the sequel. I guess. Because, you know, this movie ends in a very strange place.

But yeah, this movie is a lot of like normal guys become little guys. You think the gods are normal guys, but they're really, really big guys. Correct. It's crazy. Yeah. One of the special effects is just a guy splashing in the water. We'll talk about that. That's right.

I quite like that. Oh, yeah. Well, looking at that, I'm like, God, they don't do like this anymore, do they? No. Love this. It makes me wonder what Nolan's going to be doing. Yeah, because he's, he's all about those in-camera. In-camera effects, you know?

Big guys. Is there just going to be a big, is this going to be a normal guy, and he's going to make him look like a big guy with mirrors and lenses and so forth? Yeah, man. Maybe. The prestige or whatever, sort of. A trick, and you're tricked when you look at it. Two Q Jackmans.

Double Christian Bales. Spoiler. Anyway, so yeah, Jason has to gather a crew of fitish men who are fitish for the time. Fittish and interchangeable. That's right. Including regular man Hercules, who is also beaten by another man

in a throwing competition called Hylas. Whose Pellius' attention? Yeah, no, he's a different guy, because they're bros. I want to be clear, I was paying a lot of attention. Yeah, yeah, me too. Because it is an older movie and I'm like, okay, I don't want to miss any nuance here. You're sure he wasn't Pellius as Henry?

Yeah, because he's killed later and Hercules is sad about it. Normal Man, Hercules. Okay. Yeah. They have a fun moment together where it's just him and Hercules trying to rassel some goats. Sure. It's in the middle of a movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Just have a rassel. But when they arrive at some point on this beach, wherever they're going, I don't know. They find a treasure trove. Yes. Of godly possessions. Big stuff. Yeah, but if you take that, it's Indiana Jones rules.

Something's going to get you. Oh, yeah. Not a big boulder, it's a big giant bronze man. Oh, that's such a great effect. 100%. I mean, even also the metallic grinding sound as it moves, it, God, you've got to let all the steam out. Indycore. Yeah, and the red water that pours out of it.

God, it's just incredible, like a terrifying, picks up the boat. God, love it. Love all of this. 100%. But also, like, the gods are so petty. You don't even want any of this shit. Right? You know, what used to have, you left it for years, potentially thousands of years.

They wanted to look at it on Earth TV. You know? Earth CCTV. I mean, can you see into something or is it like looking at a satellite image you can't look? Of a roof. I don't know. I don't know, man. Yeah, but that's where Hercules's stupid mate gets flattened, I'm pretty sure.

I am. And then he just leaves the movie. Yes. Which is great. But then they come across another man. He's a blind man eating fruits of. and breads and cheeses or whatever. And the harpies are there.

Yeah, but like, who's laying the food out? Is he every day gathering the food and then today's the day the harpies aren't going to come and get by fruit and bread? I think the gods leave it, right? Yeah, but like, he just falls for this every day. Yeah, he's stupid. I mean, he's blind. Don't you think?

I agree with you, yes. But that's an incredible sequence. It's basically gargoyle Dracula's. I don't think they're the best creature in this movie, but there's a few moments where you know, you do notice the cuts between stop motion and real footage because there's a clarity to the real footage

that isn't in stop motion and we'll talk about why. There's a moment where he gets unwrapped like they take a shawl off him. One of the things that Ray Harry Housen does, it's incredible when he does it in most of his movies there's real physical interactions. 100%. We'll talk about that later. God, it's so good.

Agreed. Be better if it was entirely down on the volume, obviously. Oh yeah, definitely. Yeah, yeah. And it was just like just bored, you know, Aylist Starr's just poking at nothing. Yeah, we paid Hayden Christians in a comeback and stand in front of this screen. What do you think? Pretty good.

We love it. Yeah, we love it. Anyway, it's about the golden fleece. You're losing, you've knocked us off track, Mason. That's right. It's imperative they get this golden fleece for some reason. It's important. It's important, Percy Jackson.

We've seen those movies. Yes, they've got to get that golden fleece. Yeah, but also, it does... Game changer. You don't need to, just... Pallius is a guy. Yep. Just stab him.

You could just stab him. Why are you running around? You never need to stab him that hard. Nah, man. Just scrape him and he'll die of tetanus. That's right. From back in this era. This whole thing is pointless.

And I know it's the myth and whatever and whatever. But just a quest of nonsense for no reason. Just running a muck, run it into bad stuff. You wear that golden fleece though. Yeah, I guess. Then you'd be different from the rest of your white nappy wearing friends. You would be. Anyways, Big Poseidon happens.

Big Poseidon. Love that. Guy coming out of the water. God, that's really good. Just a weighty man splashed about, you know? Yeah. Loved it. And just after that, it's very late in the game,

but we introduced a love interest. That's right. We just washes up. Yep, classic woman who falls in love with the main guy for no reason. That's right. I love you. Why? I don't know.

You're there. We're all going to die in three years, so. Yeah, you're good as any. But then it's weird temple time. Hell yeah. Just dancing. Right? Just dancing.

Just one of, just one of 1960s audience's favorite things, just watching a scantily clad woman just flipping and flopping about. It's original Ocean's 11 rules, Mason. Hell yeah. Yeah. No snake, but it should be snake adjacent. Yeah, is this like an... Adjacent.

Thank you. Was this like an exotic thing to look at at the time? Right? Yeah, it would have been a bit risque. I guess you wouldn't have seen it, right? Like, that's not something you could just... Well, I mean, you know, all the local perverts would have seen it. Sure.

But your movie going... Perverts. Your movie going perverts wouldn't have seen this sort of thing. Now it's on the big screen. Yeah, you're right. It's the biggest woman you've ever seen flipping and flopping. Yeah. And also there's a guy there who says,

welcome, Jason. I'm Temple Guy and I have a normal haircut and I have a normal beard. This is like the casino scene in Percy Jackson and maybe the first person. Go to the casino or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I remember. And he's like, now that you know that my hair is normal, my beard is normal, actually there's a betrayal happening because this guy on your crew,

he's the son of the bad guy. And I was really like, oh, hang on. And Jason's like, which guy? But he was a friend of mine. Isn't the Hercules's friend? Is that me? No, Jason, it's not you. Did I do a betrayal?

I didn't mean to. And they'll get locked up or whatever. But then he escapes because of a woman he loves and etc. And there's a moment where normal guy with normal hair and normal beard, he's furious and he throws his cup. But somebody forgot to put the folio in because there's just a throw and then silence. That was not uncommon, I think, at the time. I know, I love it.

You could add that now. You could do it. A huge comical crash. Or someone going like, oh, that went up my bottom. Something like that. Sure, sure, sure, yeah. If you can put that in, please, Lawrence, that'd be incredible.

And then, of course, we get the famous Hydra sequence. Yeah. This is crazy. I agree. So much to keep track of with the seven heads. There's a moment where Jason throws away his shield. That's important. You shouldn't do that.

And, you know, how do you kill the Hydra? You stab it. Yeah, that's right. You stab it once. I understand why they didn't do the multiple heads growing. Yeah, you cut off. one head and then two grow in its place. Yeah.

It would have been an absolute nightmare. Yeah. Again, on the volume, easy, pasy. Yeah, exactly. It's an app on your phone. Yeah. You plug it into the volume. You have more heads, please.

Yep. Ray Harry Housen was like, sometimes I'll be animating the sequence, and then I get a phone call and I'd come back and I'd be like, I forgot which head I was animating. I don't know. I don't know what I'm doing. Am I bad at this?

No, Harry, you're great at this. You're doing good work. But a hydra, of course, when you kill a hydra, they make skeletons. That's so true, isn't it? Yeah. I would say the thing I know most, but prior to watching this, the thing I knew most about this movie was that the Argonauts have a showdown with a bunch of skeletons. And then going through this movie for the first time, I'm like, okay, well, they've done some sort of colossus.

They've done, there's a guy, there's just a big guy sloshing. They've done the big guy sloshing. They've done the kind of the harpy vampire creatures. And they've done the hydra. What is this going to be, this is going to suck. Oh, just them swinging aimlessly at a bunch of fake skeletons. But this is the, this is it, man. It's so good. It's so well integrated into the action.

Yes. People are parrying and leaping and kicking. You don't see that in the other action sequences in this either. Yeah. Because this was planned out. It was choreographed with stunt men. And then the stunt men would step away and they do it in front of nothing. Uh-huh.

So Ray Harry Olsen, he created something called dynamation. Uh-huh. Which is a portmanteau of diner and animation. Yeah. So you start a fight in a diner and then he films it and then you sort of... Yeah, you use that. use that. For your skeleton fights.

Yeah. As mentioned, they extensively rehearse this, remove the stuntman, and then they basically shadow fight nobody. Uh-huh. And then you project that onto a small screen, and then you place the skeletons in front of them. Skelectons,

and then you film the whole thing. So every time you move a skeleton, you move the footage forward one frame. Uh-huh. And that's also why the stop motion moments in this and all of these kind of movies, it's a little bit more grainy because you're filming film. Yeah.

Uh-huh. And they're miniatures. They're all miniatures. They're all miniatures, yeah. Not bigotures. No. Because sometimes you throw a bigoture in there and it. It upsets me.

It really does. And that's understandable. All the skeletons, they've got five appendages. There's 35 different movements on each one of them. How much of this skeleton fight can we just put in here for copyright reasons? Because again, it is the best bits. It definitely is. It took him four months to do the entire sequence, which runs about three minutes.

That's something like 13 to 14 frames a day, which is fuck all, obviously. What a lazy ass. That's right. There's such clever moments where a spear is grabbed off a skeleton. And if you watch really closely, it's a cowboy switch. The skeleton drops it off the screen and then he picks up the spear. There's moments like that, which is really, really good. Someone will put a sword in a skeleton?

Yeah, exactly. And then it's in the skeleton. Yeah. How do you do that? Cowboy switch, probably. Pretty much you put it in, you pause, you drop the sword and then you keep it going. CGI, I understand. CGI.

I understand. CGI. They've also got little armatures inside the. and Ray Harry Housen's father, I think he was an engineer. So he basically made it possible for all the movements. Ray Daddy Housen. Thank you. And his mother made costumes for a lot of the work as well.

Ray Mammiehausen. That's right. They worked with him for like most of his career, which I think is incredible. I'm imagining him being like in his 70s, but he would have been young. Yeah. Good for him. He was young. Well, all right.

I guess we're all young once. That's true. And many of us are still young to this day. We remain young. But it also is fun at the end where they just throw. some life-sized skeletons into the water. Just ditch him. Yeah.

But there's moments in this, and even like Robocop adopts this, or Robocop 2 specifically, where sometimes it's a little stop motion guy. Yes. Because you need them to kind of rassel. Oh, yeah, yeah. So they'll switch and it's like,

it's in camera between the real person and the little puppet. I don't know if you've seen the movie The Mandalorian versus Groglet. Incredible movie. And I know you have. It's an incredible movie. It's not.

It's pretty average. But I think the best part of that is they actually went back to stop. motion stuff because it looks tactile and real and cool and I'm sure they put a bunch of CGI guff over the top of it but I think like the you know the it's an incredible movie yeah yeah undeniable and it's doing well I think worth a watch for free on Disney Plus at least that sequence yeah sure yeah on YouTube yeah you some of it yep that's right we stole this anyway that's the end yeah I don't know

That was spectacle in the 1960s. They didn't even get the guy. What was the fleece for? To heal that woman. Yeah, but like, you didn't even have to go there. That's true. They could have just left. She wouldn't have been in that peril.

Yep. Wouldn't have needed the golden place. That's right. According to Ray Harry Housen, he said the reason for the... According to Ray Harker... You know, there's no quotes from the actual director? This is all... Yeah.

This is all from... I'm not interested in what he has to say. Yeah, fair enough. According to Ray Harry Housand, there was a reason that the film ended where it did because in the original myth, Medea was a full-fledged witch and after Jason retrieved the fleece

Medea was abandoned by Jason on the next beach where Argo stopped so he said it would have made Jason like less sympathetic if he did that. Yeah right right and you'd lose you know you wouldn't feel a certain way about him but look I will say this

I don't really feel any which way about Jason if I'm honest. Again I love this movie I think it's incredible I don't care whether he lives or dies yeah it's not about that in this movie No, it's really not. No. It's about what those

Skellingtons are up to. Yeah. Which, if you're interested, there's a, we know the guy. Leonard Nimel. Oh, Michael Shanks. Yeah.

Yeah, I've got an interview with him as well on this channel about this, but he made a stop motion short film, or some of the stop motion, about an old stop motion skeleton who's looking for work in the modern era of filmmaking.

That's right. He made together more recently, yes, if you are interested. But yeah, it's great. Check that out. Spiritual sequel to this. Or in a way. You mean this video?

Yes, but also the movie. In a way, the actual sequel to this movie. Agreed. Because it didn't get an actual sequel. But I do want to talk about that. Anyways, it's time for Jason and the trivia. This is the trivia section of the show? Yes.

Christopher Nolan approved. After Ray Harry Housen received the Golden E. Sawyer Award recognizing his contributions to the film industry at the Oscar Science and Technical Ceremony in 19992. Yeah, we've all got one of those, mate. Yeah, it's easy. Yeah. Just do like 50 to 60 years of really impressive work. Done.

So he was finally recognized. Like, he never won an Oscar for his actual work. I wonder who won the Oscar for Special Effects this year. Can we look at it out? Was there even one? Maybe not. It's quite out. Tom Hanks, the host of the event said,

some people say Citizen Kane or Casablanca, I say Jason and the Argonauts is the greatest movie ever made. And he was Woody and Toy Story 4. That's right. He was Job and or the volcano. That's right. Cleopatra. Yeah, fair enough, I guess.

I think some of the stuff from this was recycled in that. Oh. Yeah. Wait, Cleopatra in 19663? Well, it would have been the next year. It would have been 64. Well, it says here, visual effects. Yeah, it was 63.

It came out in 63. All right, okay. Okay, well, and Cleopatra in 63 was the first one. Right. So what was 64? Mary Poppins. Okay, yeah, all right. All right.

That's fair. Yeah. Yeah. The Argo was built over a fishing boat and powered by three large Mercedes engines. that cost about 10% of the film's budget. Oh, here we go. They sold the ship to 20th Century Fox after filming, and it was used in Cleopatra.

All right, then. All right. Ray Harry Housen finally... Probably given the Academy Award for just coasting on the success of this movie. Exactly. And they did. And they did, yeah.

And although the abrupt ending hints at a sequel that would end Jason's voyage, which I assume is just killing that guy with a knife, that was never made. No clear reason was ever given, but presumably it's financial. Jason and the Argonauts, too. 45 minutes of stabbing one guy.

That's also not long enough for a full feature, so. I don't think so. Yeah. So the box office of this, on a budget of $3 million, there's no hard numbers on this. It's obviously become a classic. It played just so much, you know, not only in theaters, but did well in rentals, on TV a bunch. There'll be a lot of, you know, throwback film festivals and stuff like that.

Yeah, exactly. Cult film festivals, I guess. Yeah. And the film was a massive hit in, you know, the UK, Australia. New Zealand and Japan, did okay in Europe as well, but the United States it did. Not as good, which probably also didn't help this movie not have sequels and all that, even though Sinbad gets three movies and all of that. He's just a guy.

But he is a different guy in each movie. Ah. No returning cast members. Interesting. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I would say, yeah, if you're going to check out any of these, this is the one. And if you want, I guess, the, I don't know whether it's perfection, but, you know, the last movie he did was 1981.

It was Clash of the Titans. So that was kind of the pinnacle of his Like abilities So yeah So yeah That's probably worth checking out as well Yeah for sure Probably I don't know

Anyways you know Anyways you know that at big sandwich dot co or Patreon com slash Mr Sunday movies There's videos that go early Yes Like next weeks Here's a hint Oh

It's Troy All right Christopher Nolan nearly directed it That's why we're talking about it I see And the Odyssey etc Wooden horses etc Poitre

That's right. It's got a little Tom Holland in it. And there's no dubbing as far as I know. Everyone's just American. Yeah. Unlike this fucking movie. I probably dubbed Little Tom Holland. They dubbed Little Tom Holland?

Yeah, they made him American. He's not American. He's not an American man. Yeah. He'll be the first to admit it. And if he isn't, we can pin him down until he admits it. Who's with me? Who's with me?
