Max & Dave take on the Epic: Christopher Nolan and his latest film, THE ODYSSEY. With the pod's first guest, Film & TV Producer and Nolan expert, Josh Fagen, we discuss our favorite Nolan films, Nolan's impact on 21st Century cinema and where this film falls in Nolan's oeuvre on our One-Year Anniversary of the Pod.

Max & Dave disclose their love of America's most beloved director, Steven Spielberg, what makes him so great, and how he has shaped our country's perspective over the past 50 years. They also unpack his latest theatrical effort, DISCLOSURE DAY, why it's so bafflingly disappointing, and why you should still go see it.
