Episode: Episode 44 - Clash of the Titans (1981)
Description: In their discussion about the 1981 film, Clash of the Titans, this week the Satirists tackle such weighty subjects as The Patriarchy, class struggle inherent to myth and religion, vengeance and revenge, and the sexual escapades of the gods.

Listen in to hear their take on a modern reboot of this story, in which the crew accidentally talks their way into another popular franchise.
