44. Jason and The Argonauts (1963)

(A Ben and Fiona episode - prepare for an Irish potty mouth and bullshit trivia)

Are you a Tight Arse?

In Greek Mythology, he was known as the protector of human parcels, the letter guide, someone who always delivered the goods on time and to the correct recipient.

I thought it more appropriate when my ears told me I'd heard someone utter the words 'Bringer of grief' when chin-wagging with our hero of the piece, Jas.

Considering mine (and many others, I'm sure) tainted history with the establishment scandalously brandishing themselves as 'Hermes,' this was the sign from the Gods I'd been longing for. I misheard, of course, and the messenger of Gods persists in delivering goods to anyone other than me.

Anywho, let's talk nappies and skinny legs! Jason and his wonderfully macho Argonauts set sail for the golden fleece - Can they sail over here and raid Fiona's knitwear collection? Amongst those hideous things, you'll find a gold one, I'm sure.

You'll find no muscle-bound juiced to the gills men here, just hair, lots of hair, great hair and the occasional stuck on the beard for good measure.

The work of the late, great Ray Harryhausen, Jas and his Argonauts maybe stands atop mount Olympus as the best example of his wonderous stop motion - an arduous, painstaking task and something that would not have looked out of place as one of the 12 labours of Hercules!

This Dynamation!
