   Jen and The Odyssey Critic

   In our first non-festival special episode since Barbenheimer Jen and her film critic review Sir Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, and also a fair amount of the online discourse around it. Also, we decided to do something stupid during the recording so enjoy that! Note: The "hour of uninterrupted silence occasionally interrupted by..." bit came from a session with Sara. Also, Becs Watson is now aware of the context in which Damon says "Let's go!" and still think it's a stupid delivery.
