277. War Salad #1. Troy (2004)

When Paris, prince of Troy, seduces and absconds with Helen of Sparta, her husband calls on his brother Agamemnon to send his vast army over the see to destroy the city of Troy.

Joe is joined by Tyler Pistorius to inaugurate a new show on Word Salad: War Salad, where our two hosts have starkly different opinions on the quality of a film and this time it is on Joe to defend his love of TROY while Tyler tries to build a big horse full of warriors to tear down that love.
