About this episode

Fred Asquith discusses cracking the Odyssey Code, movie reviews, and various film-related topics.

This week on FoF I CRACKED NOLAN’S ODYSSEY CIPHER BEFORE ANYONE ELSE ON EARTH and discovered a secret Discord group chat. We then go baaaaa-rmy for The Sheep Detectives , but maybe not in a good way, maybe in a baaad way. Speaking of which, I address the reaction to my bad review of Hokum last week as well as my glowing review of Obsession , what it shows about movie discourse and how I determine my star ratings. We then find time to discuss secret screenings, Project Hail Mary Oscar buzz, boiling hot cinemas and also review Ian McKellen’s wonderful performance in The Christophers .
