Just a reminder that filmbro social media isn’t real life. These nerds (affectionately!) host a podcast doing chapter-by-chapter close readings of the Iliad and Odyssey.

This video breaks down their reaction to the trailer. Things you might not expect if you hang out here too much:

They approve of Antinous’ “daddy” line, because he’s a slimy jerk.

They like the anachronistic Laestragonian armor as a visual way to distinguish them from the cyclopes.

They’re not interested in rigid historical accuracy. They’re more concerned with the movie conveying the themes of homecoming, etc.
