The Macho Movie Review: David and Goliath
My friend Wintle bought me a 50 pack of Sword And Sandal films before I left for Hollywood. He then bought a pack for himself, and we began discussion about going through the series together. Soon after we decided to share our journey with all of you; and thus the Macho Movie Review was born.
Over the next 50 weeks, we plan to have a short podcast for you discussing the Macho Movie of the week. We will be going through the Warriors Movie Pack made available through Mill Creek Entertainment. You can find the set for about 20-30 USD. We encourage all interested to buy the pack, and/or download the films that are public domain.
The Rating System: To go with the theme we will be rating the films out of 9. The hydra has 9 heads, so we will be giving each film a rating out of that number – and will post a picture. For those of you that wish to skip the podcast and are not that keen on buying the set – keep an eye on the hydra. If you you see a film with 7-9 Hydra heads – you may want to track that particular film down.
Today Wintle and I discuss the eighth film in the series: David and Goliath
Plot synopsis from IMDB: The story of the film is adapted from the Old Testament: The Philistines declare war on the Israelites and wrench the Arch of the Allience from them. Saul, the king of Israel, listens meanwhile to the words of the prophets who tell him that the new king will be a young shepard called David. But still David has to fight the enemy in form of their mighty giant Goliath.
Ladies and Gentlemen; it is my great pleasure to present our review of David and Goliath:

Wintle deems this film to be worth 4 Hydra Heads out of 9.
Nagy deems this film to be worth 5 Hydra Head out of 9.
Man I am glad that this is back. I will say that I only felt the film was, at best, ok. One thing that really got on my nerves was the dialogue. By the end of the movie I got sick of doth, thou and felt that they needeth to shut the fuck uppeth. I did laugh out loud when David’s girlfriend got hit by lightening and I really liked Goliath’s look on his face when the girls were dancing for him. I really liked Orson Wells of course. He was the saving grace of the movie for me. I must disagree with you about the actor who played David’s range. He did not just do pensive. He could be pensive, perturbed, vexed, and really pensive. It did piss me off that David killed Goliath as he was such a colorful character, far more so than David. I have to go with Wintle and give this one 4 out of 9 hydra heads. The next one is Hercules against the Moon Men and this is one I remember from Mystery Science Theater 3000 and remember it being very entertaining.
Glad to be back, BRDANZIG!
