Sean Maguire goes from gay teacher to buff Spartan soldier

The homoeroticism of 300 is the target of the latest Scary/Date/Epic Movie parody film. In Meet the Spartans buff soldiers wearing very little armor encounter the most current pop culture parodies that film schedules will allow. (Check out the trailer after the break for more.)

A plethora of beefcake isn't the only thing about Meet the Spartans that might grab the attention of gay viewers. As GuyTV Blog noticed, Spartans' cast includes British actor Sean Maguire, who you might remember recently played gay teacher Kyle Leno on CBS' The Class. Maguire certainly seems to have been working out a lot since The Class wrapped - either that or that sweater covers up a lot.

300 and the way it mixed homoeroticsm with homophobic humor seems especially ripe for mocking. It'll be interesting to see if Meet the Spartans can offer a little bit more than the usual barely-coherent string of pop culture references.

    I can't see Sean Maguire

    I can't see Sean Maguire without thinking of him as a kid in the BBC childrens drama Grange Hill....He's certainly grown up a lot since then (he's the little kid who appears 52 seconds into this next clip)
