What makes a great adaptation of an ancient epic—and did Christopher Nolan nail it with The Odyssey? We discuss what worked, what didn’t, and how Nolan’s singular vision compares with the corporate approach behind Amazon’s The Rings of Power. Then Greta weighs in on John’s own proposal for adapting the story of Númenor, presented in Appendix B of Tolkien’s Tragedy.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-2-X9hE5bAkWatch Ad-Free on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/tolkienroad/posts/nolans-odyssey-168051683Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tolkien-road--5222755/support.
