Great interview.
Great interview.
I can't believe that he referenced rap music.
I'm really impressed by that.
That's great that rap had some say in the production of that movie.
It's one of those art forms that always takes a bit of a beating in terms of like...
levels of intelligence that people even think it has or hasn't.
So it's lovely to hear why Travis Scott pops up at the beginning and the end of the Odyssey.
Quite an experience.
What did you make of it?
Yeah, always picture four wheels on it.
If we can rewind slightly then, I would just add to when you were talking about themes, I would add imperial hubris as a theme.
Right.
Because, you know, just before I watched this movie, I just finished reading this incredible book, probably one of the most exciting books I've ever read in my life.
It's called The Wager by David Graham.
He also wrote Killers of the Flower Moon, which got turned into a movie, as I'm sure all our listeners know.
And the wager is about a true story.
So this is a historical fact.
It's about a naval fleet that was sent out from the UK to ambush a Spanish armada off the coast of Chile in the late 18th century.
And this British fleet was sent out there to a place they'd never been, never worked out how to get that far
