Ten ThingsZombielandThe Zombieland films are classics in the zombie-comedy genre (which, admittedly, doesn't have a TON of entries, but hey). It took a lot longer than we all probably would've liked for Zombieland to get its sequel, Zombieland: Double Tap, but there's plenty of room for a third entry in the franchise. In this episode, Paul and Jeff take a look at ten things that would make Zombieland 3 - or Zombieland: Triple Action, as Paul suggests it should be called - a great film!

Ten ThingsThe MatrixLike Indiana Jones before, Paul and Jeff are divided on this one. Like most of the world, Jeff loved the first Matrix but was a little soft on the follow-ups. Paul, however, is a die-hard fan of all three (though not for reasons you may think... you know, if you can think of any). Nevertheless, the Matrix persists! The Matrix 4 is currently in suspended production (stupid COVID-19) and is due out some time next year.

But Godzilla vs. Kong is coming, and the true King of the Monsters has yet to be settled. Will it be the thermonuclear lizard? Or will it be the powerful and resourceful ape?

Odyssey: The Podcast picks up the story arc exactly where Trojan War: The Podcast left off. We are down on the beaches of the burning ruins of Troy, where Odysseus, his 12 ships, and 600 surviving Ithacan countrymen, are about to set sail for home. On an uneventful, "five to ten days sail at most", across Poseidon's wine-dark sea. In a quest for their homecomings, after ten bitter and bloody years on the battlefields of Troy.

TROJAN WAR: THE PODCASTEPISODE 1 “THE APPLE OF DISCORD”THE STORY: (40 minutes) Zeus, King of the Gods, hosts a wedding. An uninvited guest crashes, bringing an unwelcome gift. In mere moments, all Hades breaks loose. And the wheels of Western culture’s most awesome epic - the Trojan War - are set in motion. THE COMMENTARY: DID THE TROJAN WAR REALLY "HAPPEN"? (9 minutes; begins at 40:00) In this episode of post-story commentary I spend some time talking about how the Trojan War epic, though over three thousand years old, remains deeply embedded in contemporary culture. I note how we are all familiar with the names (Achilles, Helen of Troy, Hector), the images...2016-09-0500 min

TROJAN WAR: THE PODCASTEPISODE 2 “THE TORCH”THE STORY: (54 minutes) A queen is visited by a terrifying nightmare. Priests discern what the nightmare means. And a king is faced with a soul-wrenching dilemma: “do I kill my child, or allow my city to burn?” And the king’s decision …? Well, you’ll have to listen in to see how that turns out. THE COMMENTARY: FATE VS. FREE WILL (16 minutes; begins at 54:00) In this episode of post-story commentary I explore the role of “Fate” in the Trojan War epic. I observe that most of us listening to this podcast (in the 21st century) like to believe that we have some sort o...2016-09-0400 min

TROJAN WAR: THE PODCASTEPISODE 3 “THE BIRTH OF ACHILLES”THE STORY: (38 minutes) A miraculous child survives not only the homicidal raging of an angry demi-god, but also an icy immersion in a magic river and the venomous bite of a deadly snake. Then the child turns two, and his real adventures begin. THE COMMENTARY: THE ACHILLES STORIES THAT I DID NOT TELL YOU (16 minutes; begins at 38:00) I begin this episode of post-story commentary by discussing the reasons for the popularity of “Achilles stories” in the Bronze Age and Classical Greek world. I then briefly review some of the "birth of Achilles" stories that I chose to leave out of my accou...2016-09-0300 min

TROJAN WAR: THE PODCASTEpisode 4 “THE JUDGEMENT OF PARIS”THE STORY: (30 minutes) Hermes, the messenger god, locates a “highly qualified” judge for a beauty contest between three powerful, vain and vindictive goddesses. One of the goddesses is cruising to what appears to be certain victory, until her competitors propose a “twist” on the contest rules. And our judge – a boy you already know – is suddenly confronted with a choice: political power, military glory, or some smokin' hot … But you'll have to tune in, if you want to find out exactly what happens. THE COMMENTARY: (14 minutes; begins at 30:00) I begin the post-story commentary by acknowledging some of the “time line inconsistencies” inherent in th...2016-09-0200 min

TROJAN WAR: THE PODCASTEPISODE 5 “SPARTA”THE STORY: (30 minutes) The transition from shepherd to Crown Prince of Troy isn’t easy, but with some help from Aphrodite (and from the royal harem), Paris manages to settle in to Troy quite nicely. A road trip to the the Greek kingdom of Sparta follows, during which Paris discovers that Aphrodite keeps all of her promises. THE COMMENTARY: DID SPARTA REALLY THROW BABIES OFF OF CLIFFS? (14 minutes; begins at 30:00) I spend the entire post-story commentary of this episode talking about Sparta. Most of us, when we hear the word “Sparta”, immediately conjure up the image of bad-ass Spartan warriors, and the recen...2016-09-0100 min

TROJAN WAR: THE PODCASTEPISODE 6 “HELEN OF SPARTA”THE STORY: (37 minutes) This episode has it all! A kinky story about an amorous swan, a disturbing story about a butchered horse, a cautionary story about a foolish husband, and a too-familiar story about a corrupt politician. And in the midst of all the stories, well, Helen of Sparta moves to Troy. THE COMMENTARY: HELEN OF TROY - DAMSEL IN DISTRESS or FEMME FATALE? (26 minutes; begins at 37:00) Helen of Troy is one of the most complex and enigmatic characters in all of fiction (or in all of fact - which just adds to the complexity!). As you know, Helen left her life in S...2016-08-3000 min

TROJAN WAR: THE PODCASTEPISODE 7 “THE MAD KING”THE STORY: (43 minutes) Operation Trojan Storm needs the craft and cunning of Odysseus, Greece’s most clever man. But Odysseus has mysteriously vanished. Agamemnon puts his best man, Palamedes, on the case. “Find Odysseus; bring him to me, one way or another”, Agamemnon commands. But what Palamedes discovers when he finally locates Odysseus ….! Tune in to the podcast to learn the whole, horrifying truth! THE COMMENTARY: GREEK PIRATES vs. TROJAN MERCHANTS (17 minutes; begins at 43:00) I shamelessly spend this entire post-story commentary geeking-out on Greek naval technology and tactics. First I paint a quick picture of sort of ships that Agamemnon was building in order...2016-08-3000 min

TROJAN WAR: THE PODCASTEPISODE 8 “FINDING ACHILLES”THE STORY: (49 minutes) Agamemnon doesn’t dare launch his invasion of Troy until Achilles - Greece’s very own “weapon of mass destruction” – is part of the operation. So Odysseus, the cleverest of the warlords, is dispatched to find the elusive Achilles. Act One of today’s episode is a cleverly constructed mystery. And Act Two? Well, let’s just say that Act Two is more than a bit of a drag. THE COMMENTARY: ACHILLES, THE OPERA! (15 minutes; begins at 49:00) Stories, myths and legends are like any other element of fashion; they wax and wane in popularity over the decades and centuries. In this...2016-08-2900 min

TROJAN WAR: THE PODCASTEPISODE 9 “IPHIGENIA”THE STORY: (45 minutes) In this horrifying episode Agamemnon, Commander in Chief of the Greek’s Operation Trojan Storm, is confronted with an existential question. How badly does he want to invade Troy, and who or what is he willing to sacrifice in order to realize his plans? THE COMMENTARY: MURDER, INCEST, INFIDELITY & CANNIBALISM – AGAMEMNON’S INTERESTING FAMILY! (16 minutes; begins at 45:00) This deeply troubling episode is based on the story of the sacrifice of Iphigenia – Agamemnon’s teenage daughter.

TROJAN WAR: THE PODCASTEPISODE 10 “BEACHHEAD”THE STORY: (53 minutes) Agamemnon’s 100,000-strong army finally makes it to the beaches of Troy, and readies itself for one day of glorious, decisive, "winner-take-all" battle against Hector’s Trojan army. But the Trojans appear to have other plans. And it soon becomes clear that the Greek troops will not be making it home for Christmas – at least not for any Christmas in this decade. THE COMMENTARY: WEAPONS, ARMOUR & BATTLEFIELD REALITIES c. 1250 B.C.E. (30 minutes; begins at 53:00) Some episodes ago I spent the post-story commentary shamelessly geeking out on Greek vs. Trojan warships and naval tactics.

TROJAN WAR: THE PODCASTEPISODE 11 “ACHILLES DISHONORED”THE STORY: (46 minutes) Ten years into the siege of Troy a priest of Apollo arrives at the command tent of Agamemnon, Commander in Chief of the Greeks. The priest makes a simple request of Agamemnon. Agamemnon refuses, and Greek soldiers die in the thousands. And then things turn truly ugly… THE COMMENTARY: DID A GUY NAMED HOMER EXIST, & DID HE WRITE THE ILIAD? (16 minutes; begins at 46:00) This particular episode of Trojan War: The Podcast brings our story arc into Homer’s Iliad itself. I use the post-story commentary to discuss “all things Iliad” including: who was/was there a Homer; how was the Iliad...2016-08-2600 min

TROJAN WAR: THE PODCASTEPISODE 12 “PARIS: PRINCE OF TROY”THE STORY: (58 minutes) Hector proposes an audacious “exit strategy” to Agamemnon: a deal to end the war with just one man dead. Intense diplomatic negotiations follow. And just when it appears that Greek and Trojan have agreed to terms, a third, more powerful party, enters the conversation. THE COMMENTARY: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OLYMPIAN GODS, IN UNDER 13 MINUTES! (12 minutes; begins at 58:00) I dedicate all of this post-story commentary to the Olympian Gods: Zeus, Hera, Athena, Aphrodite, Apollo and the lot. The gods require our consideration because, though they have clearly been players since Episode One: The Apple of Discord, they...2016-08-2500 min

TROJAN WAR: THE PODCASTEPISODE 13 “TERRIBLE, GLORIOUS WAR”THE STORY: (56 minutes) As Greek and Trojan forces openly clash on the plains of Troy the goddess Athena imbues a Greek warlord – Diomedes – with fearsome, godlike powers of combat. So with the Trojan forces in disarray and on the verge of wholescale panic, Hector decides on an audacious plan to save his army. But can Hector survive his own plan? THE COMMENTARY: CAN WAR BE BOTH TERRIBLE and GLORIOUS? (17 minutes; begins at 56:00) This post-story commentary examines both the “glorious” and the “terrible” faces of the Trojan War. I first review the arestia of Diomedes, which dominates much of the story in this podcast epis...2016-08-2400 min

TROJAN WAR: THE PODCASTEPISODE 15 “THE WRATH OF ACHILLES”THE STORY (65 minutes) Homer’s Iliad opens with the storyteller’s invocation to the Muse: “The wrath of Achilles – sing it now, goddess, sing through me ….” When Achilles learns that his beloved Patroclus is dead – at the hands of Hector –Achilles “snaps”. What follows is a powerful, disturbing and truly horrifying podcast episode. THE COMMENTARY: WHAT HAPPENS TO US AFTER WE DIE? (25 minutes; begins at 1:05) This post story commentary is dedicated to Bronze Age beliefs about death and the afterlife. I explore what warlords like Hector, Achilles, Agamemnon and Odysseus would have believed about death, about funeral rites and burial, and about what was waiting f...2016-08-2200 min

TROJAN WAR: THE PODCASTEPISODE 16 “PRIAM”THE STORY (50 minutes) This episode traces the personal griefs of two bitter enemies: Achilles, who has lost his best friend and soul mate, Patroclus; and King Priam, who has lost his son and his heir, Hector. Both Achilles and Priam are inconsolable, until Zeus and Deadly Destiny unite them, under the roof of one tent. What transpires in that tent is truly remarkable. THE COMMENTARY: WHAT HAPPENS NEXT & WHY DOES HOMER END THE ILIAD HERE? (19 minutes; begins at 50:00) With this podcast episode I conclude telling those episodes of the Trojan War Epic which are found in Homer’s Iliad. Trojan War: The Po...2016-08-2100 min

TROJAN WAR: THE PODCASTEPISODE 17 “ACHILLES’ HEEL”THE STORY (59 minutes) With Hector dead, the desperate Trojans grasp on to increasingly ridiculous deus ex machina solutions to save their city from the Greeks. And then old King Priam hatches the most hair-brained (or brilliant) scheme of them all….. THE COMMENTARY HOW DID ACHILLES DIE and WHO KILLED HIM? (15 minutes; begins at 59:00) With this podcast episode we leave behind Homer`s account of the Trojan War, and once again delve into that jambalaya of accounts, fragments, partial references and contradictory content that served as our source materials in Episodes One through Ten. I remind listeners that the death of Achilles do...2016-08-2000 min

TROJAN WAR: THE PODCASTEPISODE 20 “THE SACK OF TROY”THE STORY and A MESSAGE FROM JEFF WRIGHT (1:39:53) Odysseus confronts Priam, Menelaus confronts Helen, and Agamemnon confronts Fate and Deadly Destiny …. all on the night when the mighty city of Troy finally falls. And so, with the city of Troy in flames and the Greek fleet set sail across the wine dark seas for home, history’s most awesome epic - the Trojan War Epic - comes to a close.
