Troy (2004) Movie Review — Mythology Month

Troy made nearly $500 million worldwide, cast half of Lord of the Rings as extras, and turned Brad Pitt into a Greek demigod for two hours and forty-three minutes. It also cut every god out of Homer's Iliad and left Achilles as a straight-up atheist. Josh, Garrett, and David dig into what David Benioff's screenplay kept, what it invented, and why removing the mythology from a mythology movie might be the reason nobody in it feels worth rooting for. Plus: the Letterboxd guessing game, a Peter O'

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) Movie Review — Mythology Month Kickoff

O Brother, Where Art Thou? opened in five theaters on December 22, 2000, went on to make $71.9 million worldwide on a $26 million budget, and somehow got outdone by its own soundtrack — which sold over 8 million copies and beat out Bob Dylan and U2 for the Grammy for Album of the Year, only the third movie soundtrack ever to do it. Josh, Garrett, and David kick off Mythology Month with the Coens' loose, sun-bleached riff on the Odyssey. David's watched it since he was eleven and it's in his Let

Disclosure Day (2026) Review — Spielberg's New Alien Movie

Disclosure Day is Steven Spielberg's first alien movie in over two decades, and he's calling it the conclusion to a spiritual trilogy that started with Close Encounters and E.T. That's a big swing. We went to see if he pulled it off. Josh, Garrett, and David caught the film together at Circle Cinema in Tulsa — packed house, no assigned seats, the whole thing — and then recorded this. They talk about why the final act works harder than the first two, Emily Blunt's shot at awards season, what the

War of the Worlds (2005) Movie Review — Spielberg in Space Month

Josh, Garrett, and David close out Spielberg in Space month with War of the Worlds — the one where the aliens finally turn hostile, Tom Cruise plays peak divorce-dad energy, and the hosts argue about whether the most unlikable protagonist in the Spielberg canon actually makes the movie work.

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial: Spielberg's Most Personal Movie

Part two of our Spielberg in Space series leading up to Disclosure Day — this week it's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. We dig into E.T.'s insane box office run (28 straight weeks in the top 5, nearly a year in theaters, $2.2 billion worldwide adjusted for inflation — second only to Jaws in Spielberg's career), then connect it back to Close Encounters of the Third Kind as a kind of spiritual sequel. We talk about how Spielberg shot the film almost entirely from a child's-eye view, why his parents'

Close Encounters of the Third Kind Is the Alien Movie That Actually Believes in Aliens

Close Encounters of the Third Kind came out in December 1977, made $116 million in the US alone, and lost the box office crown for that year to exactly one movie: Star Wars. Not a bad second place. Josh, Garrett, and David kick off Spielberg in Space Month with Spielberg's pre-E.T. love letter to alien optimism. They get into why Richard Dreyfus was the right guy for a role Steve McQueen, Al Pacino, and Gene Hackman all passed on, why the mashed potatoes scene is actually the emotional center o

Death of a Unicorn manages something I certainly don't see often: it makes Paul Rudd, universally beloved nice guy, genuinely unlikable. But there's more beneath this quirky satire than simply subverting expectations. It’s a strange, occasiona…
