You know, Tom Holland, Fernando, two dorky heroes.
Dave DameshekHOST
Or maybe Arch Manning is Telemachus, inherited his name, big expectations in a kingdom, without proving he's capable of ruling it yet.
Dave DameshekHOST
Odysseus goes into the underworld to talk to people from his past to make sense of the here and now, and so too do NFL broadcasts with all the retired coaches and players up in the booth.
Dave DameshekHOST
And I think Aaron Rodgers would dig eating that lotus with Calypso, tripping out and staying way too long.
Tim KellerGUEST
I'm the king.
Tim KellerGUEST
I'm a king Odysseus.
Tim KellerGUEST

AmandaGUEST
And I'm like, okay, at one point she literally said she'd be ashamed or embarrassed if she, like, it was like pretty, it was a little rude.
AmandaGUEST
It was a little rude.
Zach ShevichHOST
I thought the most valuable piece of criticism that she had in her sort of takedown of the film was the whole idea of Nolan adding this kind of Christian coded moralizing to the Odysseus character.

Parthenope, the name of an ancient Greek settlement that sat where part of the Italian city of Naples now does.

Parthenope, also the name of a siren in Greek mythology who cast herself into the sea and drowned when her songs failed to entice the legendary Greek king Odysseus, the protagonist and hero of Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey.

Corey Ryan ForresterHOST
Cersei is like, hey, Odysseus- You try and let me suck that dick.
