Sorry it took so long for us to do an Odyssey episode, we kept getting derailed by women stuck in washing machines on the way back from the theater. Has woke DEI casting caused these particular walls of Troy to crumble? Does this movie fall prey to the Scylla of no ADR or the Charybdis of “people who aren’t western European brazenly portraying ancient southeastern Europeans”? Tune into Elon Musk’s deranged posting to find out.

Before we discuss that though, Matt’s wife uses her Circe-like abilities to transform good ol’ fashioned hating on the reigning World Cup champs Argentina into a political viewpoint. Matt tries to defend her, but it goes about as well as the Argentines defending their World Cup title [REMEMBER TO DELETE FALKLANDS JOKE HERE]. Anyway, we all come away with the valuable lesson that politics and sports don’t mix, because people who follow politics closely are insane and annoying. 

We’re also kinda on the island of giants because Matt and Brendan are very tall. Hoo boy. This one’s getting tough. We uhhh talk about Timothee Chalamet because uhhh…he’s uhhh…OUR MUSE!!! Yeah. Nice. Good one. Sick.

Anyway, all that aside, we did see The Odyssey and it fucking whips. Matt Damon plays Odysseyus as brave but haunted by the decisions that have led so many of his men to their deaths. To be fair, he did some really stupid shit, but he’s great at it. Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, and Himesh Patel are outstanding in their supporting roles, and Christopher Nolan puts on a clinic in economical filmmaking. Run, don’t walk, unless you too are offended by whatever dumb astroturfed bullshit you’re swallowing these days. You can probably just stream the boring-ass Armie Hammer movie again instead.

(Matt when he's so horny that he gets mad)
