Troy — Does This Epic Hold Up As We Prepare For 'The Odyssey'

The Binge Bros revisit 2004's Troy as part of the warmup for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. This episode covers the full production story — including the fact that Wolfgang Petersen temporarily left Troy to develop Batman v Superman, Brad Pitt's contractual agreement to the project and that Christopher Nolan was the first choice to replace him — then a full breakdown of the film including the beach siege, the Hector vs. Achilles duel, the decision to cut the Greek gods entirely, and where Troy fits in the lineage of practical epic filmmaking leading to Nolan. If you're getting ready for the Odyssey, be sure to tune in.
