The 200th Episode
from The Brothers Raskin · host Ben Raskin
Two hundred episodes in and the Brothers come in blazing, grateful, and just a little stunned that this wild ride has lasted so long. They kick things off with a spirited breakdown of the end of the World Cup — the chaos, the heartbreak, the miracle goals, and the kind of global drama only fútbol can deliver. It's fast, funny, and full of the patented Raskin disbelief at how a single match can ruin or redeem an entire nation's week. From there, the Brothers dive headfirst into Christopher Nolan's newest epic, The Odyssey. Ben brings the big‑brain analysis, Patrick brings the emotional gut punches, and together they unravel the film's labyrinth of time, myth, memory, and cosmic ambition. They talk about Nolan's obsession with scale, why this movie feels like a culmination of his entire career, and how a single director can make audiences feel both microscopic and immortal in the same scene. It's a celebratory, reflective, and deeply Raskin episode — full of laughs, arguments, gratitude, and a few moments where the Brothers get genuinely sentimental about the listeners who've stuck with them from episode one to episode two hundred.
