Aileen Wuornos killed seven men along Florida's highways between 1989 and 1990, but the question at the centre of her story has never been quite as simple as whether she was a serial killer. Wuornos said her first victim, Richard Mallory, violently attacked and raped her before she shot him in self-defence. She later gave dramatically different accounts of what happened, eventually claiming that robbery, not survival, motivated the killings. Even then, her story continued to shift. Behind those contradictions was a life already shaped by abandonment, alleged childhood abuse, homelessness, sex work, violence and an intense relationship with Tyria Moore. We follow Wuornos from her brutal childhood in Michigan through the Florida highway murders, the investigation that finally identified her, Moore's role in obtaining her confession, the trial that sent her to death row, and the questions that remained when she was executed in 2002. This is the true story behind the woman Charlize Theron portrayed in Monster. Topics Included Aileen Wuornos's childhood, abandonment and allegations of abuse Her relationship with Tyria Moore Richard Mallory and Wuornos's self-defence claim Seven killings across Florida between 1989 and 1990 The fingerprint and vehicle evidence that helped identify Wuornos How Tyria Moore helped police obtain a confession Wuornos's changing explanations for the murders Her trial, death row years and execution Resources and Further Reading Aileen Wuornos – Wikipedia Monster (2003) – directed by Patty Jenkins Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer (2003) – directed by Nick Broomfield & Joan Churchill Monster: My True Story - by Aileen Wuornos & Christopher Berry-Dee Host & Show InfoHosts: Kyle Risi & Adam CoxEditor: Giordanno Bottezini Intro Music: Alice in dark WonderlandCommunity & Calls to ActionReview & follow on: Spotify & Apple PodcastsInstagram: @theCompendiumPodcastWebsite: thecompendiumpodcast.comSupport us: Sign up to PatreonSuggest a Topic: Freaky RegisterShare this episode with a friend!

In 1978 werd hij, 22 jaar oud, de eerste Nederlander met een officiële licentie om voetballers te vertegenwoordigen. Sindsdien zat hij aan tafel bij bijna elke grote Nederlandse transfer: Dennis Bergkamp, Edwin van der Sar, Mark van Bommel, Dirk Kuyt, Phillip Cocu, Ronald Koeman. Hij telt er inmiddels 887. Zijn bedrijf Sport-Promotion, dat hij samen met zijn vader Karel opbouwde, ging eind 2014 op in het Amerikaanse Wasserman. Mino Raiola begon ooit bij hem als tolk en chauffeur. En op de vraag hoe corrupt de wereld is waarin hij heeft gefunctioneerd, antwoordt hij in één woord: gigantisch.

Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all your favorite fictional universes.The X-Men roster keeps filling out, with The Hollywood Reporter reporting that Asa Germann is in final talks to play Angel in Marvel Studios' upcoming X-Men film. Germann is coming off superhero series Gen V and horror hit Scream 7, so this would be his second trip into comic book territory in as many years. Marvel has not confirmed the casting or said anything about where Warren Worthington fits into the story. The first trailer for Godzilla Minus Zero arrived last week with Takashi Yamazaki back to direct a sequel set two years after the events of his 2023 hit Godzilla Minus One. The footage points to a fragile postwar peace giving way to a new threat, though the studio has kept the specifics of that threat under wraps. The film opens in North American theaters on November 6. The 78th Emmy Awards were handed out Monday night, and the story of the evening was Matthew Rhys, who took lead actor in a comedy for Widow's Bay and lead actor in a limited series for The Beast in Me, making him the first male performer to win two lead acting Emmys in the same year. His show had the bigger night by volume, with Widow's Bay winning best comedy series and finishing as the most awarded program of the year at 14 trophies across the three ceremonies. The Pitt took best drama series for a second straight year alongside a lead actor win for Noah Wyle, DTF St. Louis won best limited or anthology series, and Jean Smart made history of her own with a fifth consecutive lead actress win for Hacks. Kate O'Flynn, Stephen Root, Allison Janney, Rhea Seehorn, Tom Pelphrey and Sally Field also took acting trophies, while The Late Show With Stephen Colbert won best variety series and The Traitors won best reality competition.Warner Bros.' Practical Magic 2 opened to $30 million domestically from 4,146 theaters, ending Spider-Man: Brand New Day's six-weekend run at number one. Spider-Man took second with $8.4 million, bringing its domestic total to roughly $935.2 million and leaving it about $1.4 million short of The Force Awakens' all-time domestic record.Peacock has released the full trailer and first-look photos for Crystal Lake, its Friday the 13th prequel series from A24 and creator Brad Caleb Kane. Linda Cardellini stars as Pam Voorhees, and all eight episodes arrive October 15.Paramount and Skydance Sports have released the trailer for Mr. Irrelevant, a biopic about late New York Giants running back John Tuggle. David Corenswet stars and the Jonathan Levine directed film premieres over Christmas.Netflix has ordered a new take on Lonesome Dove to series, from co-showrunners Zoe Kazan and Jeb Stuart. The pair are also co-showrunners on the streamer's upcoming East of Eden, and the Larry McMurtry novel was previously adapted into an award-winning 1989 CBS miniseries starring Robert Duvall.John Mulaney is in talks to star in a Get Smart reimagining in early development at Warner Bros., per The Hollywood Reporter. Now You See Me, Now You Don't screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith is writing.HBO's Harry Potter series has added a trio of cast members for season 2 which is currently in production including Rafe Spall as Arthur Weasley, Molly Hewitt-Richards as Moaning Myrtle, and Jasper Ambrose as Colin Creevey.Paramount Pictures has entered talks with Paul Feig to direct a follow up to the 2003 film The Italian Job, which starred Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron, Edward Norton and Jason Statham. The studio is still looking for a writer.

Brad and Mark take on Netflix's Apex, a movie that somehow combines Cliffhanger, The River Wild, The Hunt, a cannibal thriller, and what feels suspiciously like an AI-generated screenplay. Charlize Theron gets chased through the Australian wilderness by Taron Egerton, who gives her exactly four minutes to run while blasting The Chemical Brothers—and somehow that's the best four minutes of the entire movie.Along the way, the guys debate funeral peas, celebrate Brad's legendary fourth-grade spelling bee championship, question how anyone survives a bear trap, and discover that apparently cannibalism is all it takes for the conversation to turn into planning MTD's barbecue dinner. Brad decides MTD's rump roast would be the prime cut, adds slaw and a toasted bun, fires up the Traeger, and somehow Mark ends up worried that if he ever visits Brad's house, he needs to verify exactly where the barbecue came from.Oh, and somewhere in there they actually review Apex—a movie Mark describes as about seven different movies mashed together, with none of them being particularly good.Come for the movie review. Stay to find out why MTD somehow ended up as dinner.

On the sixty- seventh episode of All the Film Things, I had the pleasure of interviewing the Film Commissioner for the City of Jacksonville, Todd Roobin! As Jacksonville's Film Commissioner, Todd Roobin, has been the leading charge behind Jacksonville film industry and overseen the many productions that have filmed in and around the city for 40 years. Todd, who was born and raised in the Bold City, began working in the Jacksonville's film and television office in 1986, which was established just five years prior. He has been integral in bringing production rooms big and small to the region including Hollywood productions, The Devil's Advocate and Lonely Hearts, ever since. He was previously chairman of the Florida Film and Entertainment advisory board and a founding member of Film Florida, even serving as president from 2001 to 2005, and is still an active member and co- chair of their legislative committee. This past March, Todd was honored by the City of Jacksonville with a career service pin to celebrate his four decades of facilitating all kinds of productions and highlighting the local workforce. Previous guest Art Smith jr. has largely credited Todd for making Jacksonville's film and television office amongst the very best he's ever seen.The Jacksonville Film and Television Office, whose motto is “a world of locations in one city”, is to act as a liaison between the local government, the production company, and local film community as well as facilitate permits and create jobs. Since 2020, the film and television office has permitted and assisted over 418 productions resulting in hiring 7,800 cast and crew, having direct economic impact of $42.6 million which includes industry multiplier 2.57. Go to FilmJax.com to learn all the details about filming in and around the city! For those based in Jacksonville, be sure to fill out an application to be included in the city's production guide by clicking here. This is Todd's first appearance on ATFT! After hearing about him through the years, we only got connected this Spring after getting a random phone call from him one afternoon. The next month, we finally met in person when he led a fantastic event for Women and Film and Television (WIFT) Jacksonville alongside previous ATFT guest and the Film Production Coordinator for the city Adam Madrid about filming in Jacksonville. I asked him a few weeks later if I could interview him for my podcast sometime soon and he immediately said yes. I had seen him give interviews on the news before so I assumed this would be one of the many interviews he's given but, when I started preparing for it, I realized Todd hasn't really given an in- depth interview. This episode was recorded on August 20, 2026. In this episode, Todd reflects on his road to becoming Jacksonville's Film Commissioner while looking back on his 40 years in office by sharing star- studded stories like dining with Burt Reynolds and spending the day with Charlize Theron. He also shares important information about Jacksonville's growing film scene, why filmmakers from around the world should bring their productions to the city, and if he hopes to reach 50 years as Jacksonville's Film Commissioner. All this and much more on the latest episode of All the Film Things!Background music created and used with permission by the Copyright Free Music - Background Music for Videos channel on YouTube.

Homer adaptations. Sarah Watt, Jeremy Downing and William Chen discuss The Odyssey (2026) and O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000), two adaptations of Homer's epic poems The Illiad and The Odyssey. We allude to the artistry of Christopher Nolan and Joel and Ethan Coen, aka The Coen Brothers - writer and directors of the two films. We discuss the music of both films, namely the O Brother, Where Art Thou album and the score of The Odyssey by Ludwig Göransson. Our conversation focuses on our reactions to The Odyssey, with general enjoyment found across the three hosts. We compare the archetypes across both films, discussing what each adaptation brings to the core characters, settings and ideas. We spend some time talking about O Brother, Where Art Thou's creative flourishes. We return to The Odyssey and laude Samantha Morton's performance as Circe, including the practical visual effects used in her scenes. We then move on to talk about the stacked cast in The Odyssey, including: Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Elliot Page, Himesh Patel, Mia Goth, Logan Marshall-Green, Charlize Theron, Zendaya, Jon Bernthal, Lupita Nyong'o, Benny Safdie and John Leguizamo.

Phil and Emily are joined by film critic and historian Kristen Lopez to break down Karyn Kusama's Æon Flux (2005). Charlize Theron plays the title assassin, sent by the rebel Monicans to kill the ruling Chairman of the last walled city on Earth (Marton Csokas), only to find a conspiracy about cloning and memory that goes back generations (Frances McDormand, Sophie Okonedo, Jonny Lee Miller). What starts as a straightforward hit spirals into questions about who's actually still human under all that latex.The three dig into adapting a cult MTV animated series for a studio tentpole, the mid-2000s dystopian sci-fi boom, and how much style a blockbuster can get away with before critics turn on it. There's a real case here for reading Æon Flux as a genuinely strange studio experiment that got buried by its own rushed release. Sleek, weird, and a little sad, same as the movie.Follow the show & guest:Podcast Like It's... - https://www.instagram.com/podcastlikeitsPhil Iscove - https://www.instagram.com/pmiscoveEmily St. James - https://www.instagram.com/emilystjamsKristen Lopez - https://www.instagram.com/kristenlopez88

It's the end of this a'Mazin month with the boys watching The Huntsman Winter's War. A prequel/sequel to Snow White and The Huntsman, but without the snow white part (Kristen Stewart). Mazin apparently had a lot of fun writing a film filled with knock off fairy tale tropes, awful goblin designs and dwarf jokes about their women-folk's appearance. Chris Hemsworth and Jessica Chastain star in this movie where also Charlize Theron is supposed to appear at some point considering how large she looms in the poster.Will the boys find this magical land charming or a slog to get through?Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!Check out https://shop.theotherhalfpodcast.com/ to help support the show and get your room some cool art!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Children's fiction studio founder Jasmine Richards (Storymix), publisher Natalie Doherty (Puffin and HarperCollins Children's Books), and bestselling author Soman Chainani (The School for Good and Evil) on shaping an idea commercial enough to sell, what makes a children's book impossible to put down, and trusting the unconscious to write it.   You'll learn Why the most commercial idea is the one that centres its reader from the very first thought. How a single pithy log line can carry a book all the way from the slush pile to the playground. The counterintuitive trick of starting your story at chapter three. How to read what children are reading now so your pacing keeps up with theirs. What a publisher is really looking for when a manuscript lands on the desk — and why voice comes before plot. How the categories from early readers to YA actually break down on the bookshop shelf. The difference between weaving in a message and writing a book that feels worthy. The case for never self-censoring in a first draft, and saving the negotiation for later. How tiring out your conscious mind can unlock a freer, more instinctive way to draft. Why the goal of writing should be the writing itself, not the bestseller list.   Episode Links #050: Jasmine Richards — How to Pitch Commercial Children's Fiction & The Business of Children's Publishing #081: Natalie Doherty — The Magic of Writing for Children, Market Trends & Behind the Scenes of Publishing Children's Books #035: Soman Chainani — Writing Dark Tales for Children & Balancing Creative Work with Discipline   About the Guests Jasmine Richards is the author of over a dozen children's books, ranging from picture books to teen fiction. Her most recent novel, Keeper of Myths, was published by HarperCollins. She has over 15 years of experience as an editor, including roles at Hamish Hamilton, Puffin, and Dutton Books in New York. Jasmine is the founder of Storymix, a children's fiction studio, where she uses her unique experiences to develop new voices and inclusive stories. Natalie Doherty is a Publisher at Puffin, although during this interview she was at HarperCollins Children's Books. She's worked with award-winning and bestselling authors, including Tom Fletcher, Robin Stevens, R. J. Palacio, Tamzin Merchant, and Nazneen Ahmed Pathak. Before moving into editorial in 2010, she worked in Contracts and Rights at Hachette and holds a BA in Modern European Languages and an MA in Translation. Her recent middle-grade acquisitions include Simon Stephenson's The Snowman Code and Philippa Leathley's Inkbound. Soman Chainani's debut series, The School for Good and Evil, has sold more than 3 million copies, been translated into 30 languages across 6 continents, and became a major motion picture from Netflix starring Charlize Theron, Laurence Fishburne, Kerry Washington, and Michelle Yeoh, with Chainani as an executive producer. Each of the six books in the series — The School for Good and Evil, A World Without Princes, The Last Ever After, Quests for Glory, A Crystal of Time, and One True King — debuted on the New York Times Bestseller list.

On the sixty- fifth episode of All the Film Things, former broadcaster/ executive producer/ writer/ actress/ proud cat mom Vesta Millard joins me for an analytical discussion about Jason Reitman's 2011 comedy/ drama film Young Adult, in celebration of Charlize Theron's recent birthday and the film's 15th anniversary! This episode is spoiler- filled. Young Adult has been one of my most- watched films for about a decade now as it is an endlessly entertaining, fascinating character study of a film. The film revolves around Mavis Gary (Theron), a ghostwriter of a popular YA book series who was wildly popular in high school, going back to her hometown on a whim to get back together with her high school boyfriend Buddy (Patrick Wilson), whose now married and a new father. While in town, Mavis makes a sort- of drinking buddy out of Matt, a former classmate of hers that has a disability who wasn't popular in high school. He tries to ground Mavis as she confides in him her ambitious plans of reuniting with Buddy, but there's no stopping Mavis Gary. Vesta's latest short film, and the fifth installment of “The Witch Diaries” series, “Sister of Shadows”, is near completion and set to premiere this October in St. Augustine! Like the previous shorts in the series, Vesta produced, wrote, and plays the lead role, good witch Tara Ward. Vesta talks all about the modern, darker story of the new approximately thirty- minute long short and her plan to release what may be the final installment in the series. Learn more and stay updated on the release of “Sister of Shadows” by following Vesta Millard's Facebook page. This is Vesta's second appearance on ATFT! I interviewed Vesta back in October 2024 (click here to listen to that interview) where I was fascinated to learn about her incredible career from her radio days in New York to being the force behind getting a law signed to acting- both vocally and on- screen. We met earlier that year when I worked on the set of her short film “Time Will Tell”. After attending the premiere of the short a month later, we hadn't seen each other until this past June when she led a WIFT event about voice acting that was both informative and a lot of fun. There I learned her next short film was nearing completion and that she wanted to come back on the podcast. I told her I had been looking for someone to join me in analyzing Young Adult so she watched the film for the first time just for this discussion and thankfully she loved it! Part of why I've watched this film so many times is because my analysis of Mavis Gary is never ending. Though we did dive deep into analyzing her through this discussion, I still feel like I've only scratched the surface. Listening to this episode back while editing I find myself wishing I could have taken other trajectories using other analyses I've made of Mavis through the years. I often have this feeling with really each episode, but this film especially is one I could dive even further into which is a testament to how brilliant this film is from Diablo Cody's screenplay to Jason Reitman's direction to Charlize Theron's performance. This episode was recorded on July 15, 2026. In this episode, Vesta and I dive deep into analyzing the unique and complex Mavis Gary by discussing whether or not she truly had a shot at reuniting with Buddy, the potential cure to Mavis' arrested development, and declare justice for Mavis' dog Dolcé (who wasn't harmed, just not appreciated in the way she so deserved. Vesta also suggests why Mavis' hometown is named Mercury while I shared how I became a Charlize Theron fan. Tangents in this episode include discussing Charlize Theron's latest film, The Odyssey, a collaboration that means tons to me as a Nolan loyalist from a young age. All this and much more on the latest episode of All the Film Things!Background music created and used with permission by the Copyright Free Music - Background Music for Videos channel on YouTube.

Send us Fan MailMid-2026: it was a Tom Holland and Zendaya summer and now we're left in its wake, pondering two of the year's most anticipated cinematic spectacles starring those marvelous newlyweds and their intensely motor-mouthed friend Jon Bernthal where each film was tasked with living up to enormous hopes and sky-high expectations and we're wondering if those impossible expectations were met. We're talking about Christopher Nolan's IMAX epic, The Odyssey starring Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Jon Bernthal, John Leguizamo, Samantha Morton, and Charlize Theron. And Sony Marvel's Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which came out two weeks after The Odyssey, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Sadie Sink and Mark Ruffalo.  My guests today are series regulars Roseanne Caputi, Dr. David Johnson DMD, and after nearly a year-long hiatus from the Triple F, Professor Joe Field, Before we remove our critical inhibitors, the synopses: In The Odyssey, Troy has fallen, and a battle-weary king Odysseus sets sail for home — only to be thrown into a decade-long nightmare of cyclops, sirens, giants, gods, and spells, every sojourn testing how far a man will go to see his family again. Back in Ithaca, Odysseus' wife Penelope and his son Telemachus fight a losing battle against the suitors who have overrun their palace, as the two desperately cling to the idea that Odysseus will one day finally return. In Spider-Man: Brand New Day, it's been four years after the world forgot Peter Parker ever existed, and he swings through New York as Spider-Man full-time with no one left who knows his identity. Stressed induced loneliness cause his Spider-Powers to accelerate and he seeks the help of both Bruce Banner aka The Hulk and Frank Castle aka the Punisher to keep his powers under control and to keep the city safe as a terrifying new force arrives — a threat so powerful and so personal it may be the greatest foe Spider-Man has ever faced. Do these films speak to each other on a deeper level — or are they simply two big summer movies that happened to star the same people? Find out!Watch the vido podcast on Youtube:https://youtu.be/9s-kY8IIGnQ 

Tonight on TTMT: everyone's impressive commitment to mental gymnastics of fitting in a box. From the Karoline Leavitt news to the WNBA's identity crisis, my new Evie column, a throwback Charlize Theron story, and latest Apple TV+ junket interview with the male showrunner of Women in Blue. Why real female empowerment means refusing to play a role.

In this episode, Shelby and Laura review Oscar-winner Christopher Nolan's newest film The Odyssey. Zendaya, Tom Holland, Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Elliot Page, Charlize Theron, and Lupita Nyong'o are all in this star-studded cast. Shelby and Laura talk about the casting controversy versey, debate whether Zendaya is in too many movies, argue why The Odyssey is better than Oppenheimer, and who should be nominated for an Oscar.

Friday night arrived wearing a tiara and clutching a troubleshooting manual as Adam's shiny new production setup immediately met Daniel's deeply princess-coded need for everything to be exactly where it belongs. Once the technology stopped demanding top billing, Daniel marked the surreal end of nearly a decade at his old job, wondered when his brain would finally stop checking broken servers out of habit, and looked ahead to sixteen days of detox, Zach's wisdom-tooth recovery, and a much more exciting new chapter.The boys mapped out Adam's Florida visit and their pilgrimage to Big Fatty, accidentally canceled next week's show and then uncanceled it, and took Contact on a tour through peppermint spider control, movie trivia, birthday wishes, and the dangerously lavish celebrity-death jackpot. Daniel also explained why his ongoing feud with Joe Betance is basically vintage radio theater, unveiled his lovingly fabricated 1985 radio station, and learned that Adam is apparently number ten—even behind someone who is not on the show. A 4 p.m. comedy outing introduced a chatty twink boy, inspired a red-light/green-light system for human interaction, and somehow ended at bathhouse etiquette. As one does.The News Game and bonus trivia then became a live demonstration of why we test things, with mysterious buzzers, disappearing answers, Disney quotes, carnivorous plants, and Daniel's exhausted head brain doing its level best. Charlize Theron, David Duchovny, Michelle Yeoh, and Lucille Ball rounded out birthdays before the prize money lost ten dollars in real time. We hope you enjoy this lovingly chaotic work in progress—and yes, despite what you heard earlier, they will be back next week.Contact@MixMinusPodcast.com707-613-3284

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to DMR! Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has officially stormed global box offices, pulling in a massive $912 million approx. worldwide and rapidly tracking straight toward the coveted $1 billion mark. Driven by Nolan's trademark practical scale and an A-list ensemble led by Matt Damon as Odysseus, alongside Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, and Anne Hathaway, this adaptation breathes gritty, high-stakes life into Homer's ancient text. The film naturally invites heavy comparisons to past sword-and-sandal historical epics, most notably Wolfgang Petersen's Troy (2004) and Zack Snyder's 300 (2007). While Troy leaned into gritty historical realism and 300 traded in hyper-stylized graphic novel aesthetics, Nolan successfully bridges the gap between the two. He marries the massive, grounded military scale of 2000s historical dramas with a dark, myth-heavy fantasy layer, pushing the boundaries of what a modern blockbuster epic can achieve; with scenes like the Cyclops cave, to the immersive giant whirlpool, Nolan takes us on an epic journey! Ultimately, The Odyssey stands out by refusing to shy away from the supernatural elements of the original myth while maintaining the hard-hitting gravity expected of a Nolan production. Whether it's destined to outlast the legacy of films like Troy and 300 in the cultural zeitgeist is still up for debate, but its jaw-dropping technical execution and box office dominance make it an essential cinematic event. Dewey discusses the pros and cons of the film and where he feels it fits within the Nolan cinematic universe - Is this Nolan's best? Chapters: 0:00 Intro + Audible Free Trial 3:55 What is The Odyssey 11:33 The Cast & Crew 22:08 The Odyssey Themes27:22 The Verdict If you like this deep dive, kindly like, comment and subscribe!Be sure to grab you 30 day free Audible trialon behalf of DMR, link below: https://amzn.to/4pGWOKf#theodyssey, #christophernolan, #mattdamon, #boxofficehit, #blockbuster2026, #moviereview, #filmcritic, #epicmovie, #cinema, #filmcommunitySupport the showThe audio/video clips used in this podcast, including excerpts from movie/series/documentary trailers, are used under the principles of fair use and fair dealing for the purpose of criticism, commentary, and review.

We're back with Part 2, where Odysseus finally makes it home — but not before the sirens, a brutal choice between two sea monsters, and a nymph who keeps him around a little too long.We get into why keeping the sirens shrouded in mist works better than showing us what's out there, and Odysseus's secret calculation between two monsters that his crew never forgive him for.And of course, we simply had to chart Robert Pattinson's full pipeline from broody love interest to snivelling coward.

What happens when the master of mind-bending cinema takes on the foundational epic of Western literature? In this episode, we dive deep into the ultimate cinematic dream-project: Christopher Nolan adapting Homer's The Odyssey. Join us as we break down an all-star, blockbuster-caliber dream cast featuring Matt Damon as the battle-worn Odysseus, alongside Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Samantha Morton, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, John Leguizamo, Jon Bernthal, and Himesh Patel. We explore how Nolan's signature style—practical effects, nonlinear storytelling, and grand philosophical stakes—could transform ancient Greek mythology into a modern day masterpiece.

Steven Pressfield is the author of over twenty books of fiction and nonfiction. Two themes emerge from his writings: self-help and creativity, and historical fiction and war. He wrote “The Legend of Bagger Vance”, which in 2000 was made into a major motion picture directed by Robert Redford and starring Will Smith, Matt Damon and Charlize Theron. He also wrote “Gates of Fire”, and “The Virtues of War” among others. “The War Of Art” focuses on procrastination. His works are widely read in military, creative, and leadership communities for their insights into discipline, resistance, and courage. He's a former Marine and a longtime student of classical history. He's known for blending historical accuracy with storytelling and philosophy. His newest book is “The Arcadian”. It's set in Spain and deals with the moral and spiritual costs of war. Which is particularly relevant today. My featured song is “Rough Rider”, one of my recent singles.

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.

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to DMR! In this episode, we dive into Apex (2026) — Netflix's intense Australian survival thriller starring Charlize Theron as a grieving woman forced into a deadly fight for survival deep in the wilderness. Joining her is Taron Egerton, delivering a standout performance as Ben, a mysterious and resourceful stranger whose presence becomes central to the film's escalating tension.

We break down Theron's powerhouse physical performance, Egerton's layered portrayal of Ben, Jeremy Robbins' tight survival‑drama script, and the film's impressive production team — including producers Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, David Ready, Ian Bryce, Charlize Theron, Beth Kono, A.J.

Host David Horton interviews Clay about Christopher Nolan's new blockbuster film on Homer's Odyssey. How closely does it follow the Homeric original? What changes in theme and character did Nolan make to turn the ancient poem into a film for our time? What should we make of the culture war dispute over the casting of a Black woman as Helen of Troy and a transgender actor as Sinon of the Wooden Horse episode? Since Homer makes the story a triumphant homecoming of the last of the heroes of Troy, why does Nolan make Odysseus a man of regret for the role he played in ending the heroic age and bringing on the long Greek Dark Ages? Is Matt Damon an adequate Odysseus? How about Charlize Theron as the goddess Calypso? What themes was Nolan attempting to wrestle with, and how successful was he? Does it help to have a deep background in the Homeric epics, or is it best to see the film with little or no familiarity with the epic tradition? This episode was recorded on July 23, 2026.  

Is Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey a cinematic gift, or is it a Trojan Horse filled with the director’s narrative obsessions? Maybe both. In their review, Adam and Josh talk about the ways Nolan diverges from Homer’s epic tale, and which of the director’s previous films offer the best insight into his latest.

NOLAN WEEK continues....Adapted from the legendary tale written by Homer, this is the epic tale of one man's treacherous journey home after leading a war effort which has left both him and his men broken and continuously in danger. That war was the Trojan War and the man is Odysseus (Oscar-winner Matt Damon) who yearns to get to his home country of Ithaca where he is king, so that he can reunite with this wife Penelope (Oscar-winner Anne Hathaway) and his son Telemachus (Tom Holland).....or DOES he??  And along the way of this journey, Odysseus and his men will encounter several otherwordly threats Calypso (Oscar-winner Charlize Theron), Circe (Oscar-nominee Samantha Morton) and the Cyclops (Bill Irwin).  This is the latest big budget production from Oscar-winning writer/director Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight, Memento, Inception) as a follow-up to his beloved Best Picture winner Oppenheimer from three years ago.  Also included among the stellar, extended cast are Robert Pattinson, Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong'o, Jon Bernthal, John Leguizamo, Corey Hawkins, Himesh Patel, Mia Goth, and Emmy-winner Zendaya.  Let's find out if it's time to.....DEFY THE GODS.  Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/ 

Ill Will Hunting Matt Damon has trouble finding a way home after winning the Trojan War with a duplicitous offering to Athena (Zendaya) in Christopher Nolan's epic re-telling of The Odyssey.  Is there something more than the giant cyclops, spellcasting witch, Charlize Theron's lotus flower diet, or the ghost of fallen soldier Elliot Page that prevents this Ithacan King from reclaiming his throne?  And how pissed will son Tom Holland be if mom Anne Hathaway reads Twilight instead of Homer, and marries Robert Pattinson? Find Out Now!

SPOILER ALERT Christopher Nolan made The Odyssey, and somehow the loudest movie of the year is about a guy who just wants to go home. This week on Thumb War, we're joined by Dan to break down Nolan's massive Greek mythology epic: Matt Damon as Odysseus, Tom Holland as Telemachus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Robert Pattinson, Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie, Samantha Morton, Elliot Page, Charlize Theron, gods, monsters, boats, gongs, suitors, and one dog scene that nearly destroyed us. We talk about the IMAX spectacle, the punishing Dolby sound mix, the score, the Cyclops, the Sirens, Calypso, Athena, the suitor massacre, Tom Holland's eternal Spider-Man baby face, Matt Damon's “smart guy” energy, and whether this is actually top-three Nolan. Jason went in dreading The Odyssey. Rachel saw it twice and would apparently go again. Dan elevated the show, as usual. Full spoiler review is up now.
