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.

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey approaches Homer’s epic from a much more literal vantage point than O Brother Where Art Thou, but that doesn’t mean it’s a dutiful, beat-by-beat adaptation. So this week we’re talking through the ways in which Nolan put his personal stamp on one of the most well-known stories in all of literature, from the film’s non-linear structure and preoccupation with time, to the physicality and humanity Nolan brings to this big-screen spectacle about a time of apparent magic. Then in Connections, we look at how these two very different films approach their shared source material, not just in direct character and narrative parallels, but also their interest in the oral tradition and eras coming to an end. Then in Your Next Picture we return to the subject of O Brother ’s music with a recommendation for the 2000 concert film Down From the Mountain. Please share your thoughts about O Brother, Where Art Thou?, The Odyssey, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour with Mark Thompson Hour 4 (7.27) When Mark was in London he only saw two people sleeping rough — proof the UK seems to handle homelessness far better than Los Angeles. With LAHSA about to get a massive budget boost, Mayor Karen Bass has some explaining to do about the city’s churn-and-burn homeless industrial complex. Switching gears, has anyone actually seen Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey”? Turns out the original story kept changing every time it was told, and one classics professor who translated the source material just shredded Nolan’s film, calling it an absolute stinker. Mark also took his fiancée Courtney on a deep dive into her Croatian roots on the island of Hvar, where her family has lived for 12 generations. She was told no relatives remained… until she actually found them. Mark opens the TalkBacks and the calls are flying — strong opinions on England and The Odyssey — plus a listener tips everyone off to a free app called RunPee that tells you the perfect time to hit the bathroom during a movie without missing key scenes.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour with Mark Thompson Hour 3 (7.27) Mark kicks off the hour with a flood of listener TalkBacks — strong opinions flying about England and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. One caller tips everyone off to RunPee, the free app that tells you the perfect moment to duck out for a bathroom break so you don’t miss key scenes (it even rates the dull stretches and warns you about post-credit scenes). Mark downloads it on the air and puts it to the test. He also paints a poetic picture of Croatia, saying the Adriatic country looks a lot like the wizarding world of Harry Potter. In Hollywood news, Tom Holland (also in The Odyssey) is officially the most bankable young star, with his films raking in around $12 billion. Is Covid making a quiet comeback? Up in Big Bear, Jackie the bald eagle is still in the hospital after that brutal gang attack by other eagles, while her mate Shadow appears to be cozying up to one of the attackers. She’s improving but remains in critical condition. And for the free-spirited, Mark rattles off 25 of the world’s best nudist beaches for anyone who prefers to go sans pants.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour with Mark Thompson Hour 1 (7.27) Mark Thompson is in the chair tonight filling in for Tim Conway Jr., who’s off on his Alaska cruise. Mark just touched down hours ago with his soon-to-be wife Courtney from their European vacation to her ancestral homeland of Croatia. They kicked things off in London during a stifling heatwave and even had a theater run-in with the sexy new couple Meryl Streep and Martin Short. Mark only spotted two homeless people the whole time he was in London — so why can’t LA and its homeless industrial complex do better? Has anyone seen “The Odyssey”? The big-screen remake of the classic tale is crushing it at the box office and helping rescue Hollywood. Was it really written by the blind poet Homer? Turns out the story kept changing every time it was told over the centuries. One classics professor who translated the original text that inspired Christopher Nolan’s film just ripped the movie to shreds, calling it an absolute stinker. Meanwhile, big cities are losing kids as families pack up and move to smaller towns — the number of children under 18 in major urban areas has dropped 10% in the past decade, while fertility rates keep falling across the country.

‘Their love was so innocent, so sweet, so organic and we just wanted them to end up together because even they knew that some of the queer films always end in tragedy and they were worried that something like that's going to happen but that didn't happen and so people were really happy with it.' Nikki Bedi speaks to Rohan Kanawade, the acclaimed director whose debut feature Cactus Pears or Sabar Bonda, made history as the first Marathi-language film to premiere at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival. It also became the first Indian drama to win the festival's International Grand Jury Prize. Set in Kanawade's home state of Maharashtra, Cactus Pears is a groundbreaking Marathi-language love story between two men. Drawing on his experience of mourning his father, he reveals how grief, memory and identity found their way into his film. He also talks about growing up in a poor area of Mumbai with parents who accepted and supported his sexuality.Thank you to the Arts Hour team for their help in making this programme.

It's a lot like being at work, he just wants to go home! Hear our thoughts on Christopher Nolan's latest!
The three-year anniversary of Evan & Tiki sends Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash back to the show's very first broadcast, and the old audio does not let Shaun off easy. Evan revisits his opening shot at Tiki Barber, the Yankees topic that launched the show and Shaun's infamous defense of booing Giancarlo Stanton. The biggest surprise comes from the debut of Cinco de Five, when Shaun's supposedly major new feature began with a forgettable list about going to the movies. Alex also ranks Christopher Nolan's best films, while the crew debates how the segment has evolved over three years and teases the long-awaited return of Bad Tiki.
Bad Tiki crashes the three-year anniversary celebration and unleashes a ruthless roast of Evan Roberts, Shaun Morash and the absent Tiki Barber. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts as they revisit Bad Tiki's outrageous debut and the uncomfortable Joe Benigno confrontation that inspired the character. The anniversary trip down memory lane quickly spirals into another battle after Shaun admits he does not know Christopher Nolan and dismisses anyone who studied The Odyssey in high school. Evan puts the audience to a vote while callers pile on, defend Shaun and somehow connect the debate to Romania, dating and romaine lettuce.

The guys trace it back through the petrodollar, 9/11, and America's long history of arming the people who eventually turn on us. Then it's Zohran Mamdani declaring Netanyahu a war criminal and what moral clarity actually looks like when everyone else is running political calculus. Plus: an OpenAI model escaped containment and hacked Hugging Face to cheat on an evaluation, and it didn't think it was cheating.

If you haven't seen Christopher Nolan's “The Odyssey” yet, good luck. The hit of the summer is selling out showtimes around the country. Wesley Morris initially thought he didn't need this adaptation. Then, Matt Damon was cast as Odysseus. Curiosity piqued. Fast forward to him in a packed theater (IMAX 70mm, of course) excited by the prospect of an old-fashioned all-star-cast movie. But with Nolan's filmmaking, it's never that simple. There's a lot going on within the nearly three-hour epic that's fascinated moviegoers and critics alike. And so, whenever there's a big movie that everybody is talking about, Wesley wants to hear from his pal, Sean Fennessey. Fennessey is head of content at The Ringer and a co-host of the podcast “The Big Picture.” Together, Wesley and Sean go deep on the “The Odyssey” and the evolution of Nolan's career.

Michael Angelo Zervos is a Guinness World Record holder — he visited all 195 UN-recognized countries in 499 days. Along the way he interviewed people in every country about the happiest moment of their life. That project became a book, published by Penguin Random House, out February 23rd. We talked about: how the record works and what actually counts as "visiting" a country; a year and a half of planning vs. the Brazilian who claimed he did it by accident; getting jailed overnight in Liberia for taking a photo of a building; being deported from Nicaragua because they thought he was a journalist; how he got into North Korea during a two-week window that's since closed permanently; what North Korea is actually like (his answer: Plato's allegory of the cave, in real life); Cuba on the ground vs. what the left says about it; traveling through Ukraine, Palestine, Syria, and Sudan; asking people about happiness in active conflict zones; and what his grandfather being forced to fight for communist guerrillas in the Greek Civil War has to do with any of it.
