This week on Brilliant Idiots, Andrew and Charlamagne open up the greatest New York summer in recent memory, Knicks Championship, the World Cup, Jay-Z's Yankee Stadium run, Then it's a full teardown of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, the manufactured "woke" outrage, Elliot Page's role and why nobody clocked it until the internet lost its mind, the practical effects, and Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy. It turns into a real debate over where Nolan sits among the all-time greats, Spielberg, Tarantino, Scorsese, Kubrick, and whether five undisputed 10s is enough to call someone the GOAT.They also get into Zohran Mamdani threatening to arrest Netanyahu if he sets foot in New York, the APAC litmus test splitting the Democratic Party, and whether Josh Shapiro or anyone else can survive it heading into 2028. And they close out with the disrespectful way ESPN let Ryan Clark go live on air, plus where podcasting and IRL streaming are headed next.************************************Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: ⁠⁠https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots⁠⁠Jess Hilarious - Til Death Do We Parent - ⁠Pre Order⁠2Chainz - The Voice in my head is God - ⁠⁠Pre Order⁠⁠The Black Family Who Built America - Cheryl McKissack Daniel -⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠Uncommon Favor - Dawn Staley - ⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠Get Honest or Die Lying Why Small Talk Sucks- By Charlamagne Tha God - ⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠Check out Andrew Schulz - ⁠⁠www.theandrewschulz.com⁠⁠Check out all the podcast on Charlamagne's "Black Effect Network" - ⁠⁠https://blackeffect.com⁠⁠Checks out AlexxMedia⁠AM Mornings⁠Learn more about your ad choices.
