Arcadian

This one wasn't that good.

And I'm like, wait, Arcadian.

Yeah.

What's that? And I totally heard about it.

We have some things up our sleeve.

We should do Arcadian with Nicolas Cage.

Oh, that would be interesting.

I don't know that I've actually ever seen that.

Yeah

... uh, like, that Nicolas Cage movie, Arcadian.

Yeah.

Like, it's just we've seen this character design too much at this point, for me.

Story from Petronius.

Arcadian Legends.

Explanation Offered.

What is Lycanthropy? The change of man or woman into the form of a wolf, either through magical means, so as to enable him or her to gratify the taste for human flesh, or through judgment of the gods in punishment for some great offense.

A wolf, he retains yet large trace of his ancient expression.

Hoary he is as afore, his countenance rabid, his eyes glitter savagely, still the picture of fury.

Pliny relates from Eventhes that on the festival of Jupiter Lyceus, one of the family of Antaeus was selected by Lot and conducted to the brink of the Arcadian lake.

He then hung his clothes on a tree and plunged into the water, whereupon he was transformed into a wolf.

Thus hath success my fate and thine attended: Henceforth behind us let the past be furled! Oh, feel thyself from highest God descended, For thou belongest to the primal world! Thy life shall circumscribe no fortress frowning; Still in eternal youth stands as it stood For us, our stay with every rapture crowning, Arcadia in Sparta's neighbourhood.

To tread this happy soil at last incited, Thy flight was toward a joyous destiny: Now let our throne become a bower unblighted, Our bliss become Arcadian and free!

No.

Like when the Arcadians show up, you're like...

Yeah, and some of the time, it's weird, some of the time it works really well.

The fact that they're all one unit, that works really well.

The fact that you don't know who, like you say, the Arcadians are, you're like, maybe they should have

just

given us more clue of who they were.

Because we're a couple of beta

I partnered with a much smarter man than me, David Wolf, who's produced a lot of horror movies, including, you know, some of my favorites, Inheritance with Lily Collins, great thriller.

He did Arcadian last year with Nick Cage, which I loved.

He did Return to Silent Hill this year.

And he's just a really smart, great, normal guy.

Festival of Carmentis and Juturna.

Tithonus quitted, next Aurora sees The double feast, Arcadian mysteries And goddesses' old rites pontifical: Also the nymph Juturna's festival.

Sister of Turnus, on the Campus thou Art worshipped where the virgin waters flow.

From whence shall I each rite and cause derive? Who will direct my sails on as they drive Through pathless seas? O thou that hast thy name Derived from song, let song prolong thy fame.

From mighty Arcas the Arcadian earth Derived her name, or ere the moon had birth Evander thence, of birthright fair and good, Was yet ennobled by his mother's blood, His sacred mother, whom the god inspires With verse prophetic and ethereal fires: 'Twas she foretold the troubles of the state Arcadian, in words replete with fate.

And so they fled, the mother and the son, From lands Arcadian, home of Parthasian.

The grieving mother said, "My child, weep not; You must with manly spirit bear your lot.

'Tis fate, 'tis God, it is no fault of thine: We from the town are thrust by wrath divine, And not for crime go we to banishment; 'Tis wrong we suffer, and not punishment.
