A first date in Austin, Texas, took an unexpected turn after a conversation about Christopher Nolan‘s blockbuster The Odyssey led to a disagreement over one of the film’s most talked-about directorial decisions. TikTok creator Grayson Smith (@grayson.smith12) shared the story in a viral video, saying the alleged encounter ended moments after her date criticized the casting of Helen of Troy.
“I was on a first date the other day, and it was going fine, and I brought up the new Odyssey movie. I was like, oh my god, I’m so excited to go see it,” Smith said in the video. According to Smith, her date replied that the film was “actually gonna be a pass” for him.
