Overview
Steve Smith Playhouse is a Canadian English language television series produced by S&S Productions that debuted in 2004. The series consists of 13 half hour episodes starring Canadian actor and comedian Steve Smith. In each episode Smith takes one specific B-movie from the 1950s or 1960s, condenses them to a half hour and uses his voice to replace that of the lead character, while all the other characters’ performances remain untouched, often changing the plot and tone of the original movie.

Overview
Original Title: Hercules Unchained This is the first and only sequel in the series. In the original film Hercules loses his memory due to magic and spend much of the movie with the evil Queen Omphale in her pleasure gardens. Ulysses tries to help him regain his memory so the he can complete his mission of negotiating peace in Thebes. In the Steve Smith version, the story is again largely unchanged. Once again Hercules is played as a weaker more femine version than any other Hercules portrayal. When asked to help with the quarrel in Thebes Hercules is disgusted that his honeymoon is to be interrupted, which apparently is a swingers honeymoon as Ulysses is a part of it. Also the actor who plays Hercules is mocked for his poor acting ability.
