About this episode

The episode features Matt Damon discussing a Netflix original film with Ben Affleck, exploring themes of colonization and policing.

Matt Damon is on the pod and not for the Odyssey, but for a netflix original with his partner in crime Ben Affleck. Is another stroke of brilliance from these two icons, or just another crowd pleasing milquetoast netflix movie? Get your globe out! The Brits are drawing lines on maps again. Policing isn't easy, but its much harder when 800 years of colonization dictates what neighborhood you live in. But is it something you can just dramatise?
