Summary

On this week’s episode, we went long on the silly kerfuffle surrounding the casting of The Odyssey . From Helen to Achilles (or possibly Elpenor, or maybe Tiresias), no casting choice is safe from Elon Musk and his crack investigators. Then we review In the Grey , a movie that’s only really meant for Guy Ritchie completists … and maybe not even most of them . Make sure to swing by Thursday for our bonus episode on the death of American cool. And if you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend!
