Something rare here at BY THE GODS! A post on an upcoming movie.
The new trailer for GLADIATOR II is out. It’s already causing a lot of controversy. Some say it’s extremely historically inaccurate. This is nothing new for Hollywood. Anyway, the movie looks more PEPLUM or pulpy than the first one.

A new batch of German Blu-rays, released late last fall up to this month, are now or will be available. Here’s a quick list:
HERCULES AGAINST THE MONGOLS
One of my favourite PEPLUM was released late last year on Blu-ray. It stars Mark Forest, Jose Greci, Ken Clark and others. There are three different covers to choose from. The German audio is out of sync. No English audio. Nice print. The audio, well, the less said the better… HERCULES AGAINST THE BARBARIANS is set to be released soon with…English audio?
Mark Forest, Ken Clark, Howard Ross and Nadir Moretti.
TIGER OF THE SEVEN SEAS
Fun movie starring Gianna Maria Canale that’s on Blu-ray. Will have to buy this one.
79 AD: THE DESTRUCTION OF HERCULANEUM
Starring Brad Harris. A great looking film on DVD. I can’t wait to see this one in HD. Hopefully, there won’t be any cut. Available May 31 June 14.
FIRE OVER ROME
A usually rare PEPLUM gets the Blu-ray treatment. It stars Lang Jeffries. It’s a great copy.
Moira Orfei and Vladimir Medar

THE MASKED MAN AGAINST THE PIRATES
This colourful Swashbuckler starring George Hilton and Tony Kendall is now available on Blu-ray, with 2 different editions. The regular one is more expensive than the Mediabook with two discs. Hmm…
I created two new X (aka Twitter) accounts. Mae sure to follow them.

I received the printed copy of BY THE GODS! magazine Spring 2024 issue in the mail. It’s beautiful. I’ve noticed things I need to correct. It should be available for sale tomorrow or Friday.
The second issue of BY THE GODS! is ready and will be available soon, right after I get a physical copy and make corrections if there are any to be made. So, most likely next week or Monday, March 11.
Making this issue was really fun to make.
There are a few changes made to the magazine. It will be published 4 times a year, not 6 times, which I always thought was bit much. The third issue should be available in the middle of May. There are more pages than the first issue. This issue also starts the second volume, meaning the first issue was the first magazine and the first year of publication. A fresh start to 2024.
You can buy the first issue here.
