Across the Movie Aisle

Christoper Nolan's Casting Controversy (or Nontroversy)

Episode Description from the Publisher

On this week’s episode, we went long on the silly kerfuffle surrounding the casting of The Odyssey. From Helen to Achilles (or possibly Elpenor, or maybe Tiresias), no casting choice is safe from Elon Musk and his crack investigators. Then we review In the Grey, a movie that’s only really meant for Guy Ritchie completists … and maybe not even most of them. Make sure to swing by Thursday for our bonus episode on the death of American cool. And if you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend!
