THE ODYSSEY: It's important that a film at this scale is speaking to this moment that we're in Dear Listener. In this wide ranging discussion our hosts Higgins and Loe get into why THE ODYSSEY is so thought provoking and important a piece of mainstream entertainment, while along the way enjoining discussions about matters of life and death, one's responsibilities to act, and also completely forget to mention Zendaya's role in the film. Enjoy.

We appreciate it's getting ridiculous Dear Listener. Please believe that we genuinely thought we could rank all of Steven Spielberg's theatrical films in one episode. That turned out not to be the case.  But in this episode we finally, almost, get there. Hope you enjoy, (and also join us in an appreciation of the wonderful actor Sam Neill who has just left us, he will be missed).
