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!
