What did you watch?

 Hey, thanks for asking!
 I chipped away some at my TCM sword and sandal marathon.
 MY SON, THE ZERO was untouchably terrible and I didn’t make it very far
into it.
 That’s supposed to read HERO, and I am amused at what spiel Chuck decided
to change it into.  It’s also supposed to be unwatchably.

I'm not sure why you thought this would be OK, considering it looks to be D- Italian film from the early 1960s.

THE MINOTAUR
This was at least good enough I made it all the way through all although it
needed a lot more Minotaur and it definitely needed some nekkid nudity
which I’m betting it originally had in Italy and/or Spain.

If you mean this:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055518/
IMDb says no naked nudity. Being from 1960, I'm not surprised - would likely need to be several years later to have that.

The night before I watched ALIENS, which turned out not to be the extended
cut, even though everybody said it was the extended cut, but the length
didn’t match.
 I found that THUNDERBOLTS was on the Plex and I watched enough of it before
I fell asleep that I will definitely finish it.

AI/Google tells me this won't come to Disney+ until next month, or possibly even Sept.
IMDb tells me that it only made $382M worldwide - for an MCU film, that must be considered to be near "bomb" territory, so that probably means it'll come to Disney+ later rather than sooner...  :(
