This short film features Uma Thurman as Hera, now trapped in the life of an American housewife. The conceit was done better, for my money, in Garrison Keillor’s short story Zeus the Lutheran, but this version does call to mind Ms. Thurman’s previous work as a goddess…
Aphrodite to Hera. Well now.
A nod to Kierkegaard and Walker Percy: existentialist tomfoolery, political satire, literary homage, word mongering, a year-round summer reading club, Dylanesque music bits, apocalyptic marianism, poetry, fiction, meta-porn, a prisoner work-release program.

Juno settling down with Jove. Jove — yuck!
Nice observation, and yeah—much, much better. I just watched all three of the Jameson shorts, and … one way to see it is that Thurman was mighty generous to lend her support.
