Is Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey a true cinematic masterpiece—or an impressive visual epic that falls just short of Nolan's best work? On this episode of The Next Reel, Tyler Johns and Lance Taylor break down one of the most anticipated movies of 2026: Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey After seeing the film twice during its premiere weekend, Tyler shares his complete review of Nolan's ambitious adaptation of Homer's legendary Greek epic. The discussion covers the movie's enormous scale, stunning IMAX cinematography, emotional themes, major performances and the importance of choosing the right theatrical format. Tyler explains why watching The Odyssey outside of a full 70mm presentation can affect the film's aspect ratio, visual impact and overall sense of immersion. They also discuss Matt Damon's performance as Odysseus, including how he handles the character's guilt, shame, exhaustion and helplessness throughout the journey. Tyler also highlights Jon Bernthal's performance as Menelaus, praising Bernthal for stepping outside the aggressive, hot-headed roles audiences often associate with him. While many early viewers have called The Odyssey a masterpiece, Tyler offers a more measured reaction. He considers the film a powerful visual spectacle and gives it 4 out of 5 stars, but does not rank it among Christopher Nolan's very best movies. The review also examines several creative decisions made in adapting Homer's original story, including notable pieces of dialogue and mythology that were changed, shortened or removed. Did Nolan's version capture everything that makes the original epic so memorable? Should audiences prioritize seeing it in IMAX, or could waiting for the digital and streaming release provide a more complete visual experience? Before getting into The Odyssey, Lance recaps a scorching weekend trip to New Orleans that unexpectedly became a New Orleans-themed movie marathon. That includes Nicolas Cage's bizarre and completely over-the-top performance in Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, along with a viewing of the 1975 Paul Newman thriller The Drowning Pool. Then, Tyler and Lance take a trip through movie history as they reveal their personal *op five nostalgic summer movies. These are not simply the biggest blockbusters or the most critically acclaimed summer releases. They are the movies connected to unforgettable theater experiences, childhood friendships, family memories, music, vacations and specific moments from their younger years. Which films made their lists? Which summer classics still hold up decades later? Which movie memories are about more than just the movie itself? Watch the full episode to hear both countdowns and see which selections earn the number-one spots. Let us know in the comments: What did you think of Christopher Nolan's *The Odyssey*? Is it one of Nolan's best movies? Should moviegoers see it in 70mm IMAX? What are the five summer movies that bring back the strongest memories for you?

Could the SEC actually break away from the NCAA? On this episode of Last Call, Mick Gillispie and former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker react to Greg Sankey's eye-opening comments from SEC Media Days and discuss why college football's lack of leadership, inconsistent NIL rules and massive financial disparities could eventually lead to a new super-league. The guys examine how a potential SEC and Big Ten breakaway could reshape college football, whether programs like Clemson and Florida State could eventually join the SEC, and why the current system cannot regulate Alabama, Texas, Ohio State and Michigan the same way it regulates smaller athletic departments. Jake also revisits the legendary feud between Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher, revealing how personally Fisher took Saban's comments about Texas A&M recruiting. With NIL spending now becoming the standard across college football, does Jimbo's furious response look even worse in hindsight? The conversation then turns to the culture Nick Saban built at Alabama. Jake shares inside stories about the player-led leadership of Jarran Reed, Jonathan Allen, A'Shawn Robinson, Ryan Anderson and other Crimson Tide stars—including how Scott Cochran reportedly broke a second-place trophy to reinforce Alabama's championship-or-bust mentality. Can that type of culture still exist in the transfer portal and NIL era? Plus, Alabama was picked to finish a stunning seventh in the SEC preseason poll. Are Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide being overlooked? Jake breaks down Ryan Grubb's quarterback development, Alabama's loaded QB room, Kane Wommack's defense, concerns about the offensive line and running game, and why the Tide could once again use preseason disrespect as motivation. And, of course, Jake and Mick debate what truly qualifies someone as a “redneck,” complete with stories about Jimbo Fisher, hunting, giant bucks and turkey heads.

Which SEC football teams are headed for a shocking upset in 2026? On Episode 5 of The Connor O'Gara Show, Connor is joined by Ryan Brown to make bold SEC preseason predictions and identify the potential trap games that could turn the College Football Playoff race upside down. Could Florida stun Ole Miss in Gainesville one week after the Rebels' emotional showdown with LSU? Can Texas A&M walk into Tuscaloosa and defeat Alabama? Is Arkansas capable of upsetting Tennessee in Fayetteville? Connor also predicts that Oklahoma will become the SEC's ultimate “agent of chaos”—beating Georgia in Athens and Texas in the Red River Rivalry before somehow losing to Mississippi State in Starkville. Ryan explains why he views the Sooners as an 8-4 team rather than a legitimate playoff contender, while Connor questions whether quarterback John Mateer can withstand the physical demands of Oklahoma's brutal schedule. Connor and Ryan also discuss:

Myles Garrett had a good night at the ESPY's, NEXT Round estimates what the NIL value would be for CFB legends (where is JFF), and which one QB would you take for CFB Natty.

Can Alabama football overcome one of the youngest offenses in the country and compete for the 2026 SEC Championship? On this episode of Last Call, former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie at The Next Round studios to break down the biggest storylines surrounding the 2026 SEC football season. The guys examine BetMGM's SEC Championship odds, with Texas and Georgia listed as the favorites ahead of LSU, Alabama, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Oklahoma and Tennessee. Is Alabama being overlooked at +850, or are the Crimson Tide's 8.5-win projection and inexperienced offense legitimate reasons for concern? Jake and Mick also evaluate Alabama's quarterback competition between Austin Mack and Keelon Russell. Mack has valuable experience in Kalen DeBoer's system, but Russell possesses the explosive talent and playmaking ability that could completely change the Crimson Tide offense. Who should be Alabama's QB1, and could Russell become a legitimate Heisman Trophy contender? The conversation also covers:

Is Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer being seriously disrespected in the national college football coaching rankings? On this episode of The Connor O'Gara Show, Connor is joined by Lance Taylor of The Next Round for a wide-ranging conversation covering Alabama football, SEC coaching rankings, terrible sports predictions, unexpected career turns and some unbelievable personal stories. Connor and Lance react to an ESPN ranking that placed Kalen DeBoer tied for 10th among college football coaches. Both believe DeBoer is the second-best coach in the SEC behind Kirby Smart, pointing to his 20-6 record against ranked opponents and his head-to-head success against coaches such as Steve Sarkisian, Dan Lanning and Lane Kiffin. They also preview Alabama's upcoming season and explain why a 10-2 record and College Football Playoff appearance would represent a successful transition year for the Crimson Tide—while potentially setting up a legitimate national championship run in 2027. Lance also revisits some of the worst sports takes of his career, including questioning the Kobe Bryant trade, doubting Patrick Mahomes before the Kansas City Chiefs drafted him and predicting a Purdue-Tennessee national championship matchup. The conversation then takes several unexpected turns, including:

Alabama football has a new name generating serious Heisman Trophy buzz: quarterback Keelon Russell. On today's live edition of The Next Round, we break down why Russell is being mentioned as one of the top dark-horse Heisman candidates entering the 2026 college football season. Can the highly touted Alabama quarterback win the starting job over Austin Mack in Kalen DeBoer's offense? If Russell becomes QB1 in Tuscaloosa, could his dynamic playmaking ability, explosive supporting cast, and comparisons to Jayden Daniels make him a legitimate Heisman Trophy contender? We look at the best NFL bounce-back candidates hosted by the Minnesota Vikings, New York Jets, and Atlanta Falcons. Which players and teams are set up for a major rebound in the 2026 NFL season?

Former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie for another episode of Last Call, featuring a wide-ranging discussion about Alabama football, the transfer portal, conference realignment, the College Football Playoff, NIL and the changing structure of college athletics. Jake and Mick break down the rebuilt Pac-12 and attempt to name the schools joining the new-look conference, including Oregon State, Washington State, Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, Utah State, Texas State and Gonzaga. Can the relaunched Pac-12 become a legitimate college football conference after losing programs such as USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington? The conversation then turns to Notre Dame's special position in the College Football Playoff. Should the Fighting Irish receive a guaranteed CFP bid for finishing inside the top 12 despite not competing in a conference championship game? Jake and Mick debate whether Notre Dame's independence gives the program an unfair advantage over teams from the SEC, Big Ten, ACC and Big 12. Jake also explains why Alabama's recruiting strategy may increasingly focus on experienced players from the transfer portal, Group of Five programs and the FCS. Are proven veterans with toughness, fundamentals and college experience more valuable than highly rated high school prospects? The guys discuss how NIL and revenue sharing could turn smaller programs into a “farm league” for college football's biggest brands. Plus, Jake shares his Independence Day plans at “the camp,” Mick prepares to watch fireworks at the ballpark, and the guys discuss the massive “flood mosquitoes” invading the Birmingham and Tuscaloosa areas. They also preview the 76th annual Choctaw Indian Fair in Philadelphia, Mississippi, featuring traditional stickball, concerts, cultural events and more. Let us know in the comments: Should Notre Dame receive an automatic College Football Playoff bid for finishing in the top 12? Is Alabama smart to prioritize experienced transfer portal players? Can the new Pac-12 become nationally relevant again?

Connor and LT dive into the Brendan Sorsby gambling situation and why Texas Tech has found itself in the middle of a major PR storm. Is the school backing Sorsby because of loyalty — or because he represents a massive NIL investment? LT also opens up about his past as a college bookmaker, why he eventually walked away from the business, and how the modern NIL era has completely changed the conversation around college athletes and gambling. Plus, Connor and LT swap unbelievable run-ins with authority — from a college house party SWAT raid to LT being detained by the DEA after a Burger King parking lot drug deal gone wrong.

Lance Taylor and Tyler Johns are back with another episode of The Next Reel, and this time they are taking on one of the best debates in movie fandom: what movies did critics get completely wrong? Before getting to their Top 5 lists of movies critics hated but they personally love, Lance and Tyler recap everything they watched recently, including classic films, thrillers, horror, comedies, reboots, franchise movies, box office surprises, and nostalgic favorites. This episode covers everything from classic Clint Eastwood crime thrillers like Dirty Harry and Magnum Force, to the tense Nicole Kidman thriller Dead Calm, the disappointing return of Scary Movie 6, the messy Masters of the Universe reboot, and a theatrical rewatch of The Backrooms. Lance and Tyler also break down the massive box office success of Obsession, a low-budget film that exploded into a nearly $200 million phenomenon, and compare its word-of-mouth success to some of the biggest movie surprises of all time. Then, the guys dive into the main event: a spoiler-safe countdown of their favorite movies that received harsh reviews, low critic scores, or poor Rotten Tomatoes ratings — but still deserve love from real movie fans. Are critics too harsh on certain genres? Do comedy, action, nostalgia, and crowd-pleasing blockbusters get unfairly dismissed? And are there some so-called “bad movies” that are actually great? If you love movie reviews, film podcasts, Rotten Tomatoes debates, underrated movies, cult classics, rewatchable films, nostalgic favorites, bad reviews vs audience scores, and passionate arguments about the movies critics got wrong, this episode of The Next Reel is for you. Drop your favorite movie that critics hated but you still love in the comments. Did Rotten Tomatoes get it wrong? Are critics out of touch? Or are some movies just more fun than their reviews suggest?

Former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie on Last Call to discuss the changing future of college football, conference realignment, and the growing debate over the College Football Playoff.

If that happens, should the SEC expand by adding major brands like Florida State, Clemson, and Miami?

The guys also dive into the future of the College Football Playoff, including the ongoing debate between a 16-team CFP format and a 24-team playoff.

Former Alabama quarterback Jake Coker joins the discussion as college athletics faces major changes with the proposed Protect College Sports Act, a bipartisan effort from Senators Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell aimed at reshaping the future of the NCAA, NIL, the transfer portal, athlete eligibility, and revenue sharing. In this episode, Jake Coker and the crew break down the biggest issues in college sports today: should athletes be limited to one transfer? Should college eligibility be capped at five years? Should former professional athletes be allowed to compete in college sports? And could revenue sharing and NIL changes put non-revenue sports like softball, baseball, and other spring sports at risk? Jake also shares his perspective as a former Alabama quarterback, explaining why he believes transfer restrictions could help athletes build accountability, handle adversity, and develop within a program. Plus, the guys celebrate a big week for Alabama athletics, including the Alabama softball team's dramatic postseason comeback win over UCLA and Alabama baseball's explosive playoff performance. The conversation also turns nostalgic as Jake Coker looks back on Alabama's dominant 38-10 win over Georgia in 2015, his playing career, a memorable trick play involving Kelvin Benjamin, and the lasting impact of elite coaches like Nick Saban and Kirby Smart on college football programs.

Plus, Georgia Head Coach Kirby Smart raises major questions about the SEC's future and the possibility of the conference eventually breaking away from the NCAA. Could college football be headed toward a massive power shift? And were SEC coaches misled about how a 9-game schedule would impact the College Football Playoff, championship races and postseason access?

Former Alabama quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie to break down some of the biggest storylines shaking up college football and the SEC.

Then, the conversation turns to the explosive Ole Miss–Clemson tampering investigation.

Could Texas really go undefeated against Texas Tech's schedule using second- and third-string players? Is the week-to-week grind of the SEC still unmatched in college football? And in the NIL and transfer portal era, do championship contenders even have enough roster depth to survive an elite schedule and a playoff run? Plus, we break down the latest in Alabama athletics:

Jake and Mick debate whether college sports gambling rules are protecting the integrity of the game or becoming too restrictive in the modern era. The guys also react to the NAACP's call for Black athletes to avoid playing at southern schools over political redistricting battles in states like Alabama, Florida, and Georgia.

The conversation also takes a hilarious turn with personal stories involving horse racing, a bachelor party hot streak, and a mistaken identity involving Hootie & the Blowfish. Topics include:
