For this week's main podcast review, Lauren LaMagna, Josh Parham, Dan Bayer, Giovanni Lago and Brendan Hodges join me for the first time on video to review and discuss the latest cinematic event from Christopher Nolan, "The Odyssey" starring Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Samantha Morton, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Benny Safdie, Jon Bernthal, John Leguizamo, Bill Irwin, Himesh Patel, Corey Hawkins, Mia Goth, Logan Marshall-Green, Travis Scott, Eliott Page & James Remar. An adaptation and production that represents everything as big as movies can get in 2026, Nolan's telling of Homer's epic poem has generated a ton of conversation for its new IMAX technology, its breathtaking practical set pieces, seemingly controversial casting decisions, its symbolism, themes, and other adaptation choices, the performances from its massive A-list Hollywood cast, and the score by Ludwig Göransson. Zeus welcomes you all. It's an epic-sized review for an epic-sized film, and we ask you to please come on the journey with us as we discuss these topics, its chances at awards season, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
