In this episode, I dive into Epic the Musical—a bold, genre-defying retelling of Homer’s Odyssey that fuses anime energy, video game progression, and raw emotion into a sung-through journey like no other. We’re talking gods, monsters, betrayal, and beats that hit harder than a Poseidon tantrum. From college dorm beginnings to viral TikToks and legal showdowns, Jorge Rivera-Herrans has created something truly unforgettable. I break down what works, what moved me, and why this musical hits on a whole different level. But—fair warning—I’ve got a controversial opinion that might stir the pot for die-hard musical fans. I’m not saying what it is... yet. Stick around. Plus, quick takes on the Switch 2 madness, Deadpool’s unexpected comeback, and the wild direction Resident Evil 9 is heading in. Buckle up—this one's a ride.
