Podcast appearances and mentions of Anne Hathaway

Two bonus episodes in two weeks, what is even happening! Well, The Odyssey happened — and after reading and writing about Matt Damon for this week's newsletter, I knew I wanted to talk and think more about the adaptation itself. Or, more specifically: the women of The Odyssey and Nolan's struggle to write women in his films. Oh, and their hair, of course — which is why Sarah Mesle, preeminent hair scholar, was the first person I emailed. We have an upcoming episode of the regularly scheduled pod with Sarah all about her forthcoming book Tangled: Seven Iconic Moments in White Women's Hair and What They Tell Us About Power, Pleasure, and Complicity, but for now, enjoy as we talk about Calypso's balayage, what Circe's hair could've (and should've) done, how Nolan created a world without female armpits, and so much more. Just remember these bonus episodes are a bit more off-the-cuff and unpolished — we think of them as the beginning of a conversation, not the end. So let's continue in the comments!

Ben and Rob are joined this week by a very special third mast, guest host Amber Poppit for an episode covering Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, the $250 million, 100% IMAX 70mm adaptation of Homer's original road trip gone wrong epic.Starring Matt Damon as Odysseus, the King of Ithaca who spends a decade failing to simply go home, alongside Tom Holland as his son Telemachus and Anne Hathaway as long suffering wife Penelope, The Odyssey rounds out its absurdly stacked cast with Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Charlize Theron as Circe, and Zendaya as Athena; the goddess whose entire arc has the internet arguing about whether she's a deity, a vision, or a guilt trip with cheekbones. It is, depending on who you ask, either Nolan's most ambitious swing yet or yet another film maker desperately trying to get Matt Damon home.Ben, Rob, and Amber dig into the "shot entirely on IMAX film" claim and what that actually means for a movie shot across real-world locations instead of a soundstage, the casting choices that had half of Film Twitter cheering and the other half frothing at the mouth, what this interpretation of Homer's The Odyssey is doing for culture and cinema as a whole, Ben proves without a doubt that we live in a time of apparent magic and the 3 embark on a journey almost as epic as The Odyssey itself.

Prima dell'Odissea di Christopher Nolan, del 70mm IMAX e di un cast pieno di star hollywoodiane, la televisione italiana aveva già affrontato il viaggio di Ulisse. Nel 1991 Beppe Recchia trasformò il poema di Omero in un musical comico di due puntate per Canale 5, convocando praticamente metà della televisione commerciale italiana. In questo speciale di Spin-Off mettiamo quindi a confronto due adattamenti appartenenti a universi completamente diversi. Da una parte Christopher Nolan, Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Jon Bernthal e un budget gigantesco. Dall'altra Andrea Roncato nei panni di Ulisse, Moana Pozzi come Penelope, Francesco Salvi come Telemaco e Polifemo, Teo Teocoli come Antinoo e Gerry Scotti nel ruolo di Menelao. Senza dimenticare Corinne Cléry come Circe, Umberto Smaila come Zeus, Iva Zanicchi come Giunone, Gigi Sammarchi come Mercurio e Davide Mengacci nel ruolo del narratore. Analizziamo cinque momenti presenti in entrambe le versioni: il cavallo di Troia, l'incontro con Polifemo, la trasformazione dei compagni di Ulisse in maiali, il canto delle Sirene e la prova finale dell'arco. Nolan costruisce un universo mitologico credibile e spettacolare. Recchia realizza invece gli Avengers della Fininvest: parodie musicali, doppi sensi, effetti speciali discutibili, balletti e alcune delle battute più imbarazzanti mai trasmesse in prima serata. Il risultato è un'opera caotica, sguaiata, sessista e completamente fuori controllo. Ma proprio per questo rappresenta perfettamente la televisione italiana dei primi anni Novanta e continua a essere infinitamente più affascinante di qualsiasi prodotto moderno costruito appositamente per diventare trash. L'Odissea di Nolan è chiaramente il film migliore. Quella di Beppe Recchia, però, è il reperto televisivo che nessuno avrebbe più il coraggio di produrre.

Ryan and Dylan journey across a sea of monsters to discuss Christopher Nolan's new epic retelling of Homer's Odyssey.

Este fin de semana recordamos el legado cinematográfico de Manolo Solo. El actor, que recibió el Goya a Mejor Actor de Reparto por 'Tarde para la ira' y que protagonizó otras grandes películas, falleció este jueves a los 62 años.Además, les contamos todo sobre los estrenos que podremos disfrutar en el cine. Arrancamos con 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day', la nueva apuesta de Marvel que empieza a allanar el terreno para 'Vengadores: Doomsday'. También hablaremos de Anne Hathaway, que tras protagonizar los taquillazos de este año, presenta, junto a Michaela Coel, 'Mother Mary'. La cartelera de la semana deja además propuestas para todos los gustos. Desde Francia llega 'Atrapa el millón', una comedia francesa de enredos sobre un hombre que roba a su jefe y acaba embarcado en una rocambolesca misión para recuperar el dinero con la ayuda de un cerrajero. Desde Italia llega 'La última ronda en Venecia', una emotiva historia sobre la amistad, la memoria y el paso del tiempo protagonizada por dos veteranos y un joven estudiante. También hay cine español con 'Mala Bestia', presentada en el Festival de Málaga, que narra el proceso de una niña obligada a enfrentarse al miedo de crecer y a la soledad. En 30 minutos les ponemos al día de todo.

Matt Damon has faced some interesting foes before: The Bellagio, Mars, Carmine Scarpaglia, and Teddy KGB, to name a few. But this time, he's met his match! Luke & Corrye get way too serious about this beauty of a film from the incomparable Christopher Nolan. They spear the ridiculous criticism out there, while grappling with their own beefs, before expressing their bewilderment over how Nolan slung together another impeccable piece of art. 

Adam and Dr. Drew react to Anne Hathaway's confusing Human Rights Campaign speech and discuss why so many politicians and celebrities deliver speeches that sound meaningful without actually saying anything of substance.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

⁠Jurandir Filho⁠, ⁠Rogério Montanare⁠, ⁠Thiago Siqueira⁠ e ⁠Fernanda Schmölz⁠ conversam sobre "A Odisseia", filme dirigido por Christopher Nolan. Na história, Odisseu, rei de Ítaca, embarca em uma jornada para retornar para casa após a Guerra de Troia. Baseado no famoso poema épico grego de Homero, o roteiro fez uma boa adaptação? Quais as principais mudanças? Matt Damon mandou bem? Anne Hathaway fez uma boa Penélope? Tom Holland é pior do elenco? Quais as principais cenas? Nolan é realmente o maior cineasta da atualidade?

There was SO much to say about Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey that we couldn't fit it into one episode — we tried, we failed miserably, and honestly we're thrilled about it, so you're getting a two-parter.This is Part 1, where we set sail into the three-hour epic everyone's been waiting for. We get into the Trojan Horse reimagining that traces back to the Troy movie Nolan never made, and the brutal sacrifice that recontextualises the whole opening. We defend the Cyclops (hear us out — on a rewatch, he's the victim).We break down the slow, skin-crawling transformation scene that out-brutals every battle. And we get into why the first woman to translate The Odyssey, absolutely hates this film — the missing sex, the grim food, all of it. It's epic, brutal and occasionally unhinged. Part 2 drops soon.TAKE THE SPILL QUIZ HERETHE END BITS Find and follow us on socials: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thespillpodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thespillpod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thespillpodcast/ Read all the latest entertainment news on Mamamia: https://mamamia.com.au/entertainment/Support Independent Women’s Media.

En el capítulo de hoy recordamos al actor Manolo Solo, que ha fallecido este jueves a los 62 años. El gaditano recibió el Goya a Mejor Actor de Reparto por 'Tarde para la ira' y ha protagonizado míticos títulos como 'B, la película', 'El buen patrón' o 'Cerrar los ojos'.También hablamos de estrenos. El de la semana es, sin duda, 'Spiderman: Brand New Day', en el que Marvel ya va preparando a todos sus personajes para el gran evento que será 'Vengadores: Doomsday'. Pero no se preocupen, porque si están un poco perdidos, que es normal... les contamos todo sobre el Universo Cinemático de Marvel. Y sí, también el orden de sus películas.  Hablaremos de Anne Hathaway, que tras el exitazo de 'La Odisea', estrena 'Mother Mary', el nuevo proyecto del director indie David Lowery. Analizaremos el fenómeno "Hathahate", la marea de odio que sufrió la actriz tras 'Los Miserables', y su renacer este año, porque protagoniza prácticamente todos los taquillazos. Hay otros estrenos interesantes como 'Atrapa el millón', una simpática comedia francesa de enredos que sigue a un tipo que roba a su jefe y que deberá devolverlo todo ayudado por un cerrajero, y la italiana 'La última ronda en Venecia', el encantador viaje de dos veteranos y un estudiante por las llanuras venecianas... y por el sentido de la vida, las conexiones y la memoria. Además, hay cine español con 'Mala Bestia', estrenada en el Festival de Málaga, que cuenta la historia de una niña que se enfrenta al miedo a crecer y quedarse sola. Y por si fuera poco... ¡nos vamos al espacio! Presentamos la nueva sección "La conquista del espacio", sobre cómo el cine ha reflejado los viajes y las misiones espaciales. Por último, nos desplazamos al mítico bar Ocho y Medio de Madrid, donde charlaremos con el director de producción Emiliano Otegui, de su libro "40 años haciendo películas". 

Abrimos nuestro repaso particular por la cartelera con el plato fuerte e indiscutible de la semana, Spider-Man: Brand New Day de Destin Daniel, cuarta entrega y película con la que se abre una nueva era en el Universo Marvel. La película más inmersiva del Hombre Araña de toda su historia y más pegada a los cómics, con nosotros están dos de sus actores protagonistas, Tom Holland y Zendaya. En cuanto a cine español nos detenemos en dos títulos, Mala bestia que tras pasar por Málaga llega a salas, una fábula inquietante sobre el miedo a crecer, con una fotografía impecable y un reparto de lujo encabezado por Iria del Río y Roger Casamajor y La ventana abierta, nos adelantamos a sus estrenos será el próximo 7 de agosto, es Unax Ugalde quien nos habla de este thriller psicológico dirigido y escrito por Ana Graciani. Volvemos al cine internacional y lo hacemos con La última ronda en Venecia, el esperadísimo debut en la ficción del director italiano Francesco Sossai, una road movie brillante, cargada de nostalgia con un retrato humano brutal de personajes y Mother Mary la nueva película de David Lowery protagonizada por Anne Hathaway y Michaela Coel. Un thriller psicológico con elementos de drama musical. Todo esto además del resto de la cartelera, las mejores series con Pedro Calvo, esta semana escuchamos a Luis Alegre y las secciones habitualesEscuchar audio

Sergio Pérez habla de Atrapa el millón, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Mother Mary, Mala bestia, La mujer de la fila y La última ronda en Venecia.

Con la mirada puesta en todo momento en lo que está sucediendo en la jornada del viernes 31 de julio en Ceuta, con esa llegada masiva de inmigrantes a la ciudad a nado, en el magazine intentamos detenernos también en asuntos menores como, por ejemplo, el "hate" que le cayó a Anne Hathaway por ser "demasiado perfecta" y cómo eso huele a misoginia, y cómo lo ha superado, estrenando nada menos que cinco películas este año. Además, recomendamos el programa de Gastro Ser de este fin de semana, con entrevista a Hugo Muñoz, chef de Ugo Chan, y, como lectura oportuna, la biografía que el periodista David Fernández ha publicado sobre la presidenta de la CAM: "Ayuso: zancadillas, intrigas y venganzas en la corte de Madrid" (Libros del KO). En la seguna hora nuestros expertos en cómo sobrevivir al verano nos dan consejos sobre cómo sobrevivir a los largos viajes un día como hoy, que empieza la mayor operación salida del año. Y en los últimos minutos del programa sacamos de la charca a Kanye West pero solo para volverlo a meter.

One of our longest episodes ever in which we review the movie of the summer: Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. We discuss the filmmaker's ongoing battle with his inner clinician, an updated ranking of the filmography, and the odd right-wing backlash facing the movie. Nolan continues from 2023's Oppenheimer his reflection of our own cracked modernity and its broad gesture towards the death of civility, but does The Odyssey maintain its predecessor's craft and evocative core? Tune in and find out.

We're diving into one of the biggest movies of the year.On this episode of The Randy Forcier Podcast, Matt and I break down Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, the epic blockbuster that has taken over the box office and reminded everyone why movie theaters still matter.We discuss whether it lived up to the enormous hype, where it ranks among Christopher Nolan's best films, our favorite scenes from the Cyclops and Sirens to the Trojan Horse and final battle, the performances from Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Tom Holland and the star-studded cast, and hand out our signature movie awards.We also debate the biggest surprises, nitpick a few questionable decisions, and discuss whether The Odyssey will still be remembered as one of the defining movies of this decade.LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE

Never too late to the discourse, the latest episode of the BFG podcast covers two of the most talked-about movies of the summer. Stephen Garrett sails into the picture to discuss Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. Both host Neal Pollack and Stephen admire some of the set pieces and a couple of key performances, though Neal found the picture too self-serious, as all of Nolan's movies are. They disagree about Anne Hathaway, the true face that launched a thousand ships. At last, some Odyssey discourse! But ours is the best.Then Neal invites BFG contributor Laura Pruden into his virtual apartment for a delightful chat about The Invite, director Olivia Wilde's four-character chamber comedy-drama about modern marriage and sexual mores. It's a movie for adults, by adults, and it's proof of concept that Wilde is a director worth watching, and that Rashida Jones is a screenwriter well worth watching. Neal and Laura disagree about Seth Rogen. She found him delightful, he found him distracting. Neal wonders when the next dinner party invite is coming his way.Our new theme song and incidental music are by composer Matthew Sheffer and licensed for use by Sea of Reeds Media.

Allie examines the growing divide on the Right over Guy Benson's announcement of his second child born via surrogacy, highlighting the tension between celebrating “conservative” gay voices and the reality that intentionally creating motherless or fatherless children violates God's design for the family. She breaks down research showing the disadvantages faced by children raised without both a mom and a dad, pushes back against the “family diversity myth,” and shares why normalizing surrogacy, IVF for same-sex couples, and same-sex marriage undermines conservatism and harms kids. Allie also addresses the dangerous cultural push to delay motherhood into the 40s popularized by Anne Hathaway and Natalie Portman, exposing the fertility risks and heartbreak many women are now experiencing after putting career first.

Kenny and Mike discuss and spot faith elements in Christopher Nolan's latest epic film, The Odyssey. Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, and Tom Holland lead a strong cast that also includes Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, and John Leguizamo. Both Kenny and Mike think John Leguizamo's performance may result in an Academy Award Nomination for Supporting Actor.  Both the film and Christopher Nolan are most likely to be nominated as well.  Filmed with IMAX 70mm cameras and shown in a variety of formats including IMAX, which have sold out for a year, the The Odyssey fits the epic nature and scope of Homer's foundational literary work. Though not an IMAX screening Mike and Kenny shared their experience seeing the film in 70mm film rather than digital screening. Mike shared his appreciation for the rich contrast presented in the low light photography the IMAX film stock allows. Other technical aspects included the use of practical effects including forced perspective.  Kenny questioned why Nolan did not choose more accurate costumes and other production design elements as well as some more modern words and phrase that took him out of the film briefly. Faith Elements Reflected: Among the many elements of faith spotted in the story, Kenny discusses the very nature of faith from a Christian perspective is as an odyssey as one journeys through seasons of struggle and joy as we travel toward our spiritual home, the Kingdom of God. Calypso's instruction to Odysseus to surrender to and trust the ocean waves and tides rather than struggle against them is akin to surrendering to God's faithfulness, grace, and power rather than reliance of one's own abilities and power against the ooverwhelming power of sin and evil. Athena's care, presence, and guidance to Odysseus reflects God's presence and involvement through the Holy Spirit in the lives of individuals as well as the work of God in transforming the broken world into the Kingdom of God. Zeus's Law of Hospitality echoes the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament teachings on hospitality, especially the welcoming and caring for strangers and even enemies, Abram's hosting of Angels, Jesus's parable of the Good Samaritan. The need for humility in living a faithful life. Echoing the teaching of Paul in Philippians 2 to imitate the humility of Jesus. Odysseus's boasting set the stage for many of the struggles in his journey home.     

This episode of Welcome To The Party Pal dissects The Odyssey, the 2026 epic action fantasy film written and directed by Christopher Nolan, who produced it with his wife Emma Thomas.

Thomas Thorogood unpacks the meaning of ‘The Odyssey' (2026 movie), written and directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Samantha Morton, Zendaya and Charlize Theron. It's an adaptation of Homer's Odyssey from around the 8th century BC. How does the movie handle the fantastical elements of the story? And does its outlook on war owe more to Christianity than Ancient Greece?Thomas' film review YouTube channel: youtube.com/stirandfrySend us your mini-revelations, stories, disagreements, questions and hot takes: podcast@speaklife.org.uk_____________________________Enjoy seeing life through the lens of Jesus?

Liza Libes is a writer and literary critic at Pens and Poison. Her parents escaped the Soviet Union. She went to Columbia. She found that Columbia's English Department had replaced literature with Marxist theory, postcolonial studies, and critical theory. She's been pushing back ever since. We talked about: the teachers who made us both writers; reading Wallace Stevens's The Snowman — out loud, in full — and the seventh grade class that made Liza stand in the snow for an hour to understand it; Hemingway, Ezra Pound, and the fascism problem; what happened to Columbia's English Department and why it matters for publishing; why Marxism is fundamentally an ideology of resentment (Bertrand Russell said it 100 years ago); the novel Yesteryear and what it reveals about contemporary literary self-righteousness; why writing characters who disagree with you is the whole point; the Emily Wilson translation of the Odyssey and what "a complicated man" does to Odysseus's character; and Christopher Nolan's Odyssey film — specifically the Cyclops scene he cut, why it was the scene that defined Odysseus, and why its absence drains the heroism from the entire story.

From High Potential and The Lincoln Lawyer to nuanced and honest portrayals of fatherhood-gone-wild across Showtime's EMMY® Award-nominated series SHAMELESS and palpable intensity on the likes of SONS OF ANARCHY, Steve Howey reflects a classic masculinity on-screen equally steeped in humor and heart. That timeless leading man spark and quiet strength remain signatures of the acclaimed actor, writer, producer, and entrepreneur. Achieving a basketball scholarship to junior college in Colorado, he played two seasons before pursuing his calling as an actor. He would go from SOMETHING BORROWED alongside Kate Hudson, John Krasinski, and Ginnifer Goodwin to BRIDE WARS where he re-teamed with Hudson, Anne Hathaway, and Chris Pratt, to SUPERCROSS, LOSING CONTROL, UNLEASHED, IN YOUR EYES, and SEE YOU IN VALHALLA.
