Featuring the wildest backstory for Helen (who is “a child”), a disconcertingly graphic scene of sexual assault, and the weirdest Achilles we’ve met so far, join us as we laugh our way through the 2003 miniseries Helen of Troy. Despite taking a *very* dark turn at the end (seriously, not recommended for those with SA trauma), this is one of the funniest, most enjoyable adaptations of the Iliad that we’ve seen, and comes with an almost non-stop feeling of “what the actual f**k?!”.

We look forward to hearing from you!  Follow us on Facebook @TheReadingPartyPodcast Twitter @ReadingPartyPod Instagram @TheReadingPartyPod YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkHB1bZ-N9nWMayVsoMEU1Q Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/readingpartypod Custom music by Brent Arehart of Arehart Sounds.
