- What is The Real Zen boy talking about?!
Odysseus sounds like a powerful, confident warlord, which, guess what? HE IS!!!! Also, he’s not really that smart and sophisticated. I mean he’s intelligent but too proud for his own good. Anyway, great podcast, and I’m really looking forward to the 2026 movie now. Thanks Jeff!

With Christopher Nolan’s movie coming out this summer, I wanted to go in better informed and this podcast was PERFECT! He has ... more
