The Odyssey (2026)
Film Junk: The Longest-Running Movie Podcast
"Why cover the same ground again? It goes against my grain to repeat a tale told once, and told so clearly." Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has finally arrived but it may not be the hero's journey you were expecting. Join us as we wax poetic on this epic in the grand oral traditions of old. Can this classic story connect with a modern audience? Is Nolan's preference for practical effects his greatest strength or an achilles heel? Are the American accents a bold choice or just plain bad? Follow Zeus' law and pull up a chair while we regale you with the latest episode of Film Junk.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
Film Junk: The Longest-Running Movie Podcast
Damn! We're in a tight spot! This week we are seeking treasure with Ulysses Everett McGill and his two companions, Pete and Delmar, in the 2000 Coen Brothers musical comedy O Brother, Where Art Thou? Based loosely upon The Odyssey, this movie was a big hit for The Coens at the time and the soundtrack was massive. But did anyone actually listen to it or was it all just awards hype? Does the early digital colour correction hold up or is it now a bit of an eyesore? Where does this movie rank in the Coen Brothers' filmography? Is it George Clooney's best comedic performance of all time? See you in...

Hercules (1983)
Film Junk: The Longest-Running Movie Podcast
"Hercules! Hercules! Hercules!" - Mama Klump. Join us as we crack open Pandora's Jug and chug about an hour-and-change worth of podcast protein puree; thick and white and full of all the nutrients needed to build out those pectoral muscles to the point of total nipple inversion. Lou (Luigi) Ferrigno's clearly been jug chugging that protein pablum in preparation for Luigi Cozzi's celestial peplum. His nipples are completely inverted. NOTE: There are no crystals in this motion picture.

Film Junk: The Longest-Running Movie Podcast
Hello Junkers, we're trying something new here to coincide with the announcement of our upcoming episodes for July.

Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (1985)
Film Junk: The Longest-Running Movie Podcast
Professional assassination is the highest form of public service. Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins was sadly both the beginning and the end of a movie franchise that wanted to be the "red, white and blue collar" version of James Bond. But is it better than its reputation lets on or are we desperately trying to force feed a dud? Why does reconstructive facial surgery look like someone just shaved off their moustache? Is the stunt work in this movie objectively spectacular? How did a white actor get a Golden Globe nomination for playing a Korean man? Does your nightingale sing? Learn the...
