BE WARNED: We spoil the shit out of this movie!

Austin and Phil sail across oceans of monstrous podcasts to return the the land they know well: The films of Christopher Nolan.

This time they're discussing Nolan's latest: The Odyssey, and its many layers, its amazing cast, its relationship to the original story, and the reception of the movie.

Plus: The guys talk about movies they think are better than the books they're based on.

Aus and Phil boldly go where no podcast has gone before... and they talk about Star Trek.

The guys are breaking down the themes and near perfection of 1982's Star Trek II and discussing its great character work, how it fits into Trek as a whole, the state of sci-fi in 1982, and why it might be a great "Dad Movie"... which leads them into a discussion of Dad Movies, what makes something a Dad Movie, and some of their favorite Dad Movies.

This week Austin and Phil discuss the 2026 Maggie Gyllenhaal film The Bride. The guys discuss how the movie pays homage to past Frankenstein movies while also being very much its own thing, the surreal nature of the movie, the feminist themes, and Christian Bale.

Also, the guys run down a few of their favorite movies they put on just for the vibes.

Aus and Phil have found their way back into the recording studio after being lost in a storm of life for longer than they anticipated, but they're back with a lot to catch up on.

Listen to the guys as they talk about the Avatar movie studio, Heat 2 casting news, mini-reviews of Pluribus and Project Hail Mary, plus the Roods discuss movies and actors they think deserved some Oscar love that they never got... and since it's Austin and Phil, you know there are several thousand tangents along the way...
