Are you looking to flex your brain with a mental workout on your favourite heroes–old and new? Join siblings and enthusiasts, Tom, Dan and Sarah in exploring a hero's journey, and their impact on culture. We bring the friction to fiction, examining champions of myth, legend, videogames, cinema and anything neat.
MOVIE NIGHT! Join Tom, Dan, and Sarah straight from the theatre to talk Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey; The siblings cram into their wooden horse of a recording studio to share their thoughts on the newest version of Paragon Marathon's favourite mythical hero. Can the spectacle of practical effects transport a viewer into a raging storm on the wine-dark seas? Can Matt Damon give a performance powerful enough to bring the Trojan house down? Can Christopher Nolan's dialogue live up to the oldest and possibly greatest work of literature humanity has achieved? Probably not that last one, no, but tune in to find out!

Dogma (1999) - Movie Club #25
MOVIE NIGHT! Join Tom, Dan, and Sarah on a biblical New Jersey adventure in Dogma; This 1999 Jay and Silent Bob vehicle asks the big questions, like what would happen if the Catholic god was wrong about something even once? Or how does Kevin Smith get Alan Rickman, Selma Hayek, Matt Damon, and Ben Affleck to be in his low budget movie about Gen X sensibilities and comic book hot-takes? Clearly this movie works in mysterious ways . Diversions include Jason Lee's most memorable delivery, timeless stoner comedy (bonnnnnnngggg) and the mystery of Choolie Bob.
