On the sixty-third episode of the Cinematic Odyssey, Tristen and Max dive into Max's favorite movie from 2024, Rye Lane. A feature debut from all leads and the director, it's a testament to the simplicity of good chemistry and a strong romantic story. Hear Tristen and Max banter in British accents, discuss the worst breakups of all time, and the wonders of the public restroom system.

On the sixty-second episode of The Cinematic Odyssey, though recorded on September 29, 2024, Tristen and Max dive into their first look at the Coen Brothers and their 2000 epic "O Brother Where Art Thou?". They go through ghost stories and fables of the actual American South while comparing this film to Homer's Odyssey, with Max also gushing over the banjo and the Soggy Bottom Boys. Tristen and Max also dive into the idea of deus ex machina (dir. Alex Garland) and how the movie is far more Greek than it appears.

On the sixty-first official episode, Tristen and Max spent a lot of time at the theater and now review their bottom 5 movies and top 15 from the year 2024. Tristen's list is exclusively movies that came out in 2024 and Max's follows everything he saw for the first time, but in their grand return in a majestic episode (approximately one half of The Brutalist), the jokes are rolling, criticism is flying, and praise is abundant for some fantastic films with much more to come.
