Summary
Why has Elon Musk thrown a tantrum over the casting in The Odyssey? Is the Cannes Film Festival a thing of the past? What do Paddy McGuinness, Bullseye and a London cabbie have to do with Donald Trump's first foray into reality TV? Elon Musk is predictably outraged by Christopher Nolan casting Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy in this summer's blockbuster 'The Odyssey'. Richard Osman and Marina Hyde explore the online meltdown and ask why tech bros are so obsessed with fantasy fiction. Big Break is back! Superfan Richard Osman has the full scoop on the snooker game show's return. No major studios are premiering their films at Cannes this year, we explain why Hollywood now see the French film festival as too risky.
