The episode closes with a full top-five ranking of Nolan's filmography — and The Odyssey takes the #1 spot for both hosts, unseating Rosie's longtime favorite (Tenet) and unexpectedly winning over Rosie, a self-described Nolan skeptic.

House of the Dragon S3E04: "Tumbleton"
Jason and Rosie break down House of the Dragon Season 3, Episode 4, and make the case that Ormund Hightower is a different kind of villain: a self-styled refined gentleman with a modern politician's instinct for crisis PR.. They also dig into what they see as the real flaw undermining Rhaenyra's reign: an inability to understand what ordinary people actually want, from her plan to scapegoat a Master of Coin to her blindness toward what's motivating Ulf and Hugh. Plus, a rotting Sunfyre as a symbol of collapsing Targaryen exceptionalism, and how this season's Harrenhal storyline diverges from George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood.

NEWS: The Emmys Get Weird, PlayStation Kills Physical Media, and Dune 3 Trailer
Jason and Rosie break down the 2026 Emmy noms, arguing this year's list skews unusually genre-heavy (The Pit, Pluribus, Knight of the Seven Kingdoms) and debate the Stranger Things shutout versus Widows Bay's earned surprise haul, plus a detour into whether Christopher Nolan is overrated as a director. Then: Sony's plan to end PlayStation physical media production by 2028, which they frame as an ownership problem — you're now paying full price for a revocable license, not a game you own. Finally, the Dune 3 trailer: Rosie argues it's leaning into Chani as an anti-Paul figure and turning Paul into someone the audience has to reckon with rather than root for, while she and Jason split on box office predictions ($700–800M vs. a real shot at $1B).
