Well heck, everyone else and their scylla is talking about the Odyssey so we might as well too.After watching Christopher Nolan's brilliant new blockbuster, and after Andrew read two different translations, we talked about what we thought of it, reminisced about some of our favorite parts (Circe!

Continuing this year's Star Wars project, we rewatched what many consider to be the best in the series, with its darker tone and iconic twist.
