Based on Homer's epic poem entitled Iliad, and brought to life by Brad Pitt's epic rig... Troy! Strider places this masterpiece in the pantheon of dankest films of all time! Perhaps the dankest film to workout to. However, for this episode strider puts down the dumbbells and picks up the remote so that he can both praise and properly dissect Troy's historical accuracy. So, get yourself a, "sack of wine," and enjoy!

Strider Wilson hosts a podcast delving into history through the perspective of a mature erudite bro. He was one unit away from a history minor at U.C. San Diego, but he does’t let that stop him from examining what it would have been like to be a bro posted up on Bunker Hill or uncovering what the chillest aspect of surrealist art is. Buckle up because Strider will not only venture into humanity's shared past. He will venture within himself. Asking real questions such as, “exactly how tight are pirates,” or “what if he stayed that extra semester in school,” “would my life have been danker?” Strider firmly believes that history is tight because we all should for sure blaze our own trails… but in what direction?
