Description

What do you get when you mix William Shatner from STAR TREK, Adam West from BATMAN, John Cassavetes from THE DIRTY DOZEN and Joseph Cotten from CITIZEN KANE? You get a beefcake sword-and-sandal television series about ALEXANDER THE GREAT, and it only lasted one freakin' episode. ALEXANDER THE GREAT had one of the most bizarre casts of any TV series, ever, but was it really... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold take you through the history of the sword-and-sandal genre, place this weird failed pilot in the context of the cast's lengthy and storied careers, and imagine the alternate reality in which ALEXANDER THE GREAT was a hit series, and STAR TREK and BATMAN - which premiered three years later - had to hire different leading men.
