ep. 110 | The Odyssey (2026): Part 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Odyssey is still going strong — $1.55 billion worldwide and counting, now officially Christopher Nolan's highest-grossing film of all time. With the film well into its second month in theaters, Colleen, Taylan, and Noor go a little deeper: the themes, the craft, the mythology, and everything worth arguing about. Spoilers throughout. It's still a long way back to Ithaca. PS: If you'd like to get wasted while listening, take a shot every time Taylan says "yeah." Don't say we didn't warn you.
ep. 109 | Plane Movies: The Venom Trilogy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, Colleen and Wickham inaugurate a new series — Plane Movies, dedicated to the sacred art of the 30,000-foot watch. And what better way to kick things off than with the Venom trilogy: three films that ask nothing of you, demand no emotional investment, and deliver exactly what they promise. Pure, unapologetic popcorn cinema at cruising altitude. Enjoy the flight!
ep. 108 | Apple TV+: Widow's Bay (2026) & Pluribus (2025) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hey y'all! This week, Wickham and Colleen tackle two of Apple TV+'s most talked-about series of the season. First, Widow's Bay — the horror-comedy from creator Katie Dippold and director Hiro Murai, set on a cursed New England island where a hapless mayor's dream of turning his isolated community into a tourist destination goes very, very wrong. Then, Pluribus — Vince Gilligan's post- Breaking Bad return to TV, starring Rhea Seehorn in a sci-fi world where a mysterious wave of forced happiness h
ep. 107 | The Odyssey (2026): Part One (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Christopher Nolan returns for the first time since Oppenheimer with his most ambitious film yet — an adaptation of Homer's foundational epic, starring Matt Damon as Odysseus on his long, monster-riddled journey home from the Trojan War. Shot entirely on 70mm IMAX film and powered by a cast that stretches from Tom Holland and Anne Hathaway to Zendaya, Charlize Theron, and Robert Pattinson, The Odyssey opened to over $264 million globally in its first weekend alone. Wickham and Ada break it all do
ep. 106 | Kristoffer Borgli: Dream Scenario (2023) & The Drama (2026) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, Colleen and Ada go deep on the filmography of Kristoffer Borgli — the Norwegian director who has quietly become one of the most unsettling voices in contemporary cinema. First, Dream Scenario (2023), in which Nicolas Cage plays a mild-mannered professor who inexplicably begins appearing in strangers' dreams — a surreal premise that Borgli twists into a razor-sharp satire of fame, relevance, and the internet's appetite for destruction. Then, The Drama (2026), Borgli's A24 follow-up sta
