Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey explores our humanity while delivering on spectacle

Help us take Matt Damon home with special guest, film critic and journalist, Thuy Ong to review Christopher Nolan's, The Odyssey. The Odyssey is a mythic action epic, bringing Homer’s foundational saga to the big screen. After the Trojan War, Odysseus faces a dangerous voyage back to Ithaca, meeting creatures like the Cyclops, Sirens, and Calypso along the way. Starring Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland and a murderers row of Hollywood heavyweights, Tim and Thuy uncover the films underlying sense of empathy amongst the sheer spectacle of this story. From body horror, to ellite eye acting, sticking it to the keyboard warriors of the internet, lobbying for Zendaya to be our spirit guide and the immense scale of the film, this episode is a journey worth taking.More Popcorn:Check out Thuy Ong on substackLeigh and Tim jump into Christopher Nolan’s time-bending sci-fi TenetIs The Devil Wears Prada 2 an in-season sequel?Know someone who loves movies?
