It's more podcast for your buck! That's right, in anticipation of a certain small-budget indie film coming out this month, we're not talking about one movie, but five! We quest out in search of Matt Damon, all in service of the great question: "Do We Dig Odysseus?" Listen now at movieswedig.com!

Hop on board listeners as we take a look at another early 2000s animated film that maybe should have just fallen off the edge of the world. Helping us to discuss yet another problematic man lost at sea is none other than Liv Albert from @mythsbaby.bsky.social. Listen now at movieswedig.com!

From ambitious ancient architects to sexy evil priestesses, we've seen the "Mummy" take many forms, but none quite as horrifying as a modern teenage girl. Join us in unwrapping the latest reincarnation of this monster franchise with Lee Cronin's The Mummy. Listen now at movieswedig.com!

Men will rob ancient tombs with no qualms, but the second a woman starts accessing ancient magical powers then they start caring about morality. We're covering Blood from the Mummy's Tomb, the 1971 Hammer horror about an ancient sorceress possessing a modern London woman. Listen at movieswedig.com!

It's May, so we're kicking off Mummy's Month! With the help of return guest and Egyptologist, Dr. Julia Troche, we travel back in time to unravel the humble beginnings of the entire Mummy movie franchise. #themummy #boriskarloff #imhotep #horrormovie Listen now at movieswedig.com!

We wish we had our own magic time-traveling sands as we review 2010's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Is it a creative re-imagining of a popular game? No. Is it a fun action-adventure with comedic tones? Also no. Does Alfred Molina run an illegal ostrich-racing circuit? Yes he does.

It's been well over a year since we last checked in on Wiros and Yemos to see how their little city of Rome is managing. Helping us to separate the original founding myth from an imaginative modern retelling are @partialhistorians.bsky.social, Dr. Rad and Dr. G! Listen now at movieswedig.com!

Join the hosts of Movies We Dig and The Partial Historians (@partialhistorians.bsky.social) for a special livestream watch party! We'll be screening Season 2 Episode 1 of Romulus, an Italian historical drama television series created by Matteo Rovere about the founding of Rome.

We're back and this time untethered from history with a new season of your (but not Colin's) favorite gladiator show: Spartacus: House of Ashur (2025). Also helping us rewrite history in some pretty radical ways is Dr. Monica Silveira Cyrino. Listen now at movieswedig.com!

Maybe, like, the fourth or fifth best entry in the Transformers series? Yes we're talking Gods of Egypt (2016) a... film. Joined by special guest, Dr. Julia Troche, who is here to help educate us on ancient Egyptian mythology and the many hidden benefits of lettuce. Listen now at movieswedig.com!

If ever a series made us feel our age, it's this one! We return to Riordan's fantastical world of teenage demi-gods with the 2nd season of Percy Jackson. We are joined by @lexie-henning.bsky.social, who helps us navigate the world of prophecies and Party Ponies. Listen now at movieswedig.com!

Came across this project on Insta that I'm excited to share. This artist (www.instagram.com/graceyurchuk...) is adapting William Shakespeare's play Caesar into a musical. Check it out! #AncientBluesky #Rome #Reception

In this episode we go back, waaaay back to 10,000 BC, w/Roland Emmerich's stealth prequel to Stargate. And what conversation about Stone Age tribes battling Atlantean Pyramid Enthusiasts (Aliens?) would be complete without our resident pseudo-archaeology expert, @dsaarchaeology.bsky.social?

Ancient Rome. MWD's podcasts are masters of the world, the heat of its takes heard from the Iberian peninsula in the west through to the great library of Alexandria in the east. As oppressed people everywhere writhe under the Roman lash, freeman and vassal are united in one compulsory listenership.

Happy New Year All! Thank you for such a wonderful 2025!

Once again, we sift through our backlog of episodes with fresh eyes and new takes. What we find is a film about a Roman legionary that is actually, dare we say, good!? Joining us on the journey to find The Eagle is special return guest, @roelkonijn.bsky.social. Listen now at movieswedig.com!

Chug your milk, don your ruffled shirts and get ready to shoot lightning bolts through your lymphatic system as we re-animate Guillermo del Toro' latest creature-feature: Frankenstein! Returning to play god with us is Dr. Marina Escolano-Poveda (@hypatiaheuresis.bsky.social)!

The holidays are upon us, so we figured it was a good time to delve into a remake of a remake that nobody really asked for. That's right, we're talking about 2016's Ben-Hur! And sorry to say, this one might have sent your hosts off the rails. Find it now at movieswedig.com or wherever you listen!

In this season's attempt to highlight films that might have fallen under the radar, the Movies We Dig Crew revisits Agora along with special guest, Dr. Marina Escolano-Poveda @hypatiaheuresis.bsky.social. Listen now at shows.acast.com/movies-we-di....

Part heist, part treasure hunt, and part historical conspiracy, this film works hard to make the US's settler colonialism past seem a lot cooler than it actually is. We talk ships (nautical and romantic), the monetary value of world heritage, and the eccentric nature of Nicolas Cage's acting career.
