Gus & Cuz rewind Troy (2004), the epic blockbuster starring Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom, and enough bronzed abs to launch a thousand ships. Is Achilles a legendary warrior or history’s most difficult coworker? Is Hector the only responsible person in the entire movie? And did Paris really start a war, lose a duel, and then hide behind his big brother? We break down the massive battles, questionable accents, mythological liberties, Brad Pitt’s glorious hair, and Eric Bana’s scene-stealing performance. Plus, with Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey bringing Homer’s world back to the big screen, we revisit the war that started Odysseus’s long journey home. Does Troy still conquer—or does it deserve to be dragged behind a chariot? Hit play, and remember: never trust a giant wooden horse.

In this episode of Automatic Rewind, Cuz and Gus pay tribute to the late Sam Neill by celebrating a career that spanned nearly five decades.

Join us as we remember one of cinema's most beloved actors while breaking down another classic movie the way only Automatic Rewind can.
