SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE CLICKED DISLIKE AND THE TICKETS SOLD OUT ANYWAY
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey opens tonight, and we're asking what it actually proves when the audience objects for eighteen months and Hollywood gets paid regardless. Then we walk through the Supreme Court quote everybody shared this week that Amy Coney Barrett never said, and what it costs us when we're the ones who stopped checking. We get into a Gen X psychiatrist's list of six things people miss about the eighties that reads like an inventory of liberties somebody took, the Wall Street Journal's push to rebrand middle age as "prime time" while the median first-time home buyer hits forty, employers quietly dropping marijuana screening because they can't find enough applicants, and the two-hundred-dollar-an-hour trainers selling American men longevity one hip thrust at a time.
🏛️ THE ODYSSEY CASTING -- A quarter-billion-dollar budget, the first feature ever shot on new IMAX 70mm cameras, a trailer past seven hundred thousand dislikes, and IMAX seats that sold out a full year early. Nolan waved off the backlash. Tracking says opening weekend clears a hundred million. We ask which one of those is the real vote.
⚖️ THE QUOTE THAT ISN'T -- Clarence Thomas told Orrin Hatch in 1991 he'd rather die than withdraw. Barrett supposedly said she's scared for her life. One of those is in the transcript and one of them somebody made up. We go through what was actually said on July 14 and why the fake one is doing all the work.
📻 WHAT WE MISS ABOUT THE 80s -- Being unreachable used to be the default state of a normal day. A repair used to be a fourteen-dollar part and twenty minutes with a screwdriver. Six things that came free and now have to be fought for.
🏡 PRIME TIME -- The median first-time home buyer in America is now forty years old. The Journal files that under milestones pushed later. We file it somewhere else.
🌿 THE TEST NOBODY'S GIVING -- Citigroup dropped it. Amazon dropped it. Home Depot dropped it. Employers quit screening for marijuana without a single federal mandate, and one lawyer says his clients would have no applicants left if they kept testing.
💪 GLUTES AND LONGEVITY -- Equinox says male bookings for its "Best Butt Ever" class are up seventeen percent. One executive spends sixteen hundred a month on peptides. Somewhere under all of it is a real point about aging.
