AudioMo 2025 - What is a Peplum Movie?

Peplum movies are a sub-genre of Sword and Sandal movies.

Sword and Sandal movies can have American or British actors. 

There is a grand scale, sometimes a biblical or moralistic theme and good triumph over evil but it might take a few centuries to kick in. 

Peplum movies might have one or two Americans but mainly an Italian cast. 

At least in the early days. 


 

This is #AudioMo, a 30-day international challenge of sound and community. This is my captioned audio/slidecast about Peplum movies, and the historical and cultural connections.
