   32: Troy

   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.

   30: Kingpin

   Before memes, before streaming, and before bowling movies had any right to exist, Kingpin crashed into theaters and quietly became a cult legend. We revisit the Farrelly brothers’ brand of chaos, Bill Murray’s unhinged Ernie McCracken performance, and how a box-office flop turned into a cable-TV staple. Grab a beer, lace up your shoes, and remember why the ’90s were built different.
