For Your Reconsideration

Episode 97: Troy

Grab the baby oil, jump on a ship and join us as we take in the director's cut of Wolfgang Peterson’s sword & sandals epic, Troy (2004). 

Much like the film the scale of the chat is massive, as the boys talk about the trend of historical epics that dominated multiplexes during the 00s, take yet another British acting legend to task and finally give ‘Terry The Baby Thrower’ his long overdue flowers.
