E30: The Odyssey

Welcome to Long Distance, Bit Weird, a podcast from international comedy couple Sooz Kempner and Michael Balazo. One of them lives in the UK, the other in Canada.

This week, Sooz and Michael give an unvarnished review of Sir Christopher Nolan's cinematic adaptation of The Odyssey. What were the highlights? Where did Sir Christopher mess up big time? How gross was it inside the Trojan Horse? And should there have been a scene that let us see the Cyclops going on a date? Yes.

ALSO: a new edition of the hit segment "Actual Customer Letters to Wetherspoon News" featuring TWO letters. PLUS: you get to hear about the two most exciting teams in the World Cup: England and Canada. IN ADDITION: meal reviews.
