    Sebbo takes us back to 490 BC for one of his favourite battles in all of history — Marathon. A heavily outnumbered Athenian army staring down the might of the Persian Empire on the beach, and somehow turning the tide. It's a theme that runs right through Greek history — massively outgunned, written off before the fight even starts.Then it's back to the movies for a deep dive into The Rock — favourite scenes, lines, characters, and there's no shortage of any of them in this one.He also opens up about the heartbreak of losing a golf comp by a single stroke, goes down a rabbit hole on his love of general history and lost treasure, and a grab bag of everything else that's been rattling around his head this week.Our WeekendsCurrent Box OfficeTreasure Hunting & ConquistadorsLosing by 1 Stroke in Monthly MedalGoing to The Odysessy AgainToblers WeekendQuestions from YouTube / TV ShowsApple TV Wins Pound for Pound TVFuture EpisodesLove of History / Greeks Delayed The GermansBattle of MarathonMovie Review - The Rock
