IMAX has been seeing a big surge in popularity thanks to films like The Odyssey, and the head of Hoyts is looking to utilise this to meet demand. Event Cinemas currently operates the only two IMAX theatres in New Zealand, in Wellington and Auckland. Film critic Darren Bevan says it's likely Christchurch will get an IMAX theatre - and Hoyts has said there's plans to upgrade existing cinema complexes in Riccarton in Christchurch, Te Awa in Hamilton and Sylvia Park in Auckland.

The crew saw Christopher Nolan's latest epic film, The Odyssey, and strive to put their visceral feelings into words. We had to match the epic 3 hour run time with an epic runtime of our own.

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.

We've tuned out of Marvel on the podcast for a little while, but one of the eternally entertaining superheroes, Spider-Man, reignites our interest with Brand New Day. With Doctor Strange having cast a spell at the end of 2021's No Way Home to make the entire world forget Peter Parker, for reasons that Doctor Strange presumably cast another spell to make us forget, Peter, newly isolated, returns to fighting street-level crime in New York City while pining for his old relationships and suffering severe headaches. Can he revive his former life? Surely it wouldn't be a Marvel film if an enormously significant, cliff-hanging event had permanent consequences. Still, even for those as cynical as it's possible to be about the MCU, Brand New Day has plenty to recommend it. It aims for thematic depth - though how fully that's achieved is up for discussion - and is genuinely moving. Indeed, certain moments move the audience to cheer and applaud, which in turn moves Mike to harrumph bitterly. Destin Daniel Cretton, directing his second MCU entry following Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, demonstrates a gift for working with actors and a strong instinct for staging action, although Cineworld does its best to undermine those virtues with its poor projection. We also return to our discussion of IMAX and The Odyssey, asking whether the frame's envelopment of the visual field impedes filmmakers' ability to express through composition and framing, and considering whether there's something fundamentally anti-democratic about making films whose fullest form can only be experienced at a handful of cinemas around the world. Recorded on 1st August 2026.
Irrfahrt Christopher Nolans The Odyssey wirkt wie ein Film, der von Anfang an auf große Bilder und starke Stimmung setzt. Schon die Idee des Stoffes passt zu Nolans Stil: eine Reise voller Gefahr, Zweifel und Spannung, erzählt nicht klein, sondern mit dem Anspruch auf echtes Kinoerlebnis. Bildgewaltig scheint hier das passende Wort zu sein. Man erwartet keine glatte, leichte Abenteuerreise, sondern monumentale Bilder, weite Räume und Szenen, die sich förmlich ins Gedächtnis brennen. Nolan nutzt solche Stoffe oft, um aus einzelnen Momenten etwas Großes zu machen, und genau das dürfte auch hier spürbar werden. Die Reise wird nicht nur erzählt, sie wird als visuelles Erlebnis inszeniert. Düster ist der Film vermutlich ebenso. Bei Nolan steckt hinter jeder großen Geschichte meist auch ein Gefühl von Bedrohung, Verlust oder innerem Konflikt. Das passt perfekt zu einem Stoff wie The Odyssey, in dem es nicht nur um Heimkehr, sondern auch um Prüfung, Irrweg und Überleben geht. Statt reiner Abenteuerromantik entsteht so eine schwerere, ernstere Atmosphäre. Gerade darin liegt die Stärke von großem Kino: wenn Bilder, Klang und Erzählung zusammenkommen und mehr erzeugen als bloße Handlung. The Odyssey dürfte genau so ein Film sein, der nicht einfach unterhält, sondern beeindruckt. Er will nicht nebenbei laufen, sondern den Raum füllen und das Publikum komplett in seine Welt ziehen. Das ist Kino mit Anspruch, Wucht und Nachhall. Kurz gesagt: Nolan macht aus The Odyssey vermutlich kein klassisches Abenteuer, sondern ein düsteres, visuell überwältigendes Epos, das zeigt, warum Kino auf der großen Leinwand am stärksten ist. Deswegen war Matze im weltweiten größten IMAX. Noch eine Irrfahrt Wer sich wohl auch ein wenig verfahren hat ist Apple. Die Vision pro war ja ne nette Idee aber nicht wirklich das, worauf die welt gewartet hat. Das hat wohl nun auch Apple festgestellt und konzentriert sich auf das, was wohl die größeren Chancen bei der breiten Masse hat – AR Brillen. Geplant sind wohl zwei Varianten, eine mit und eine ohne Displays. Und nochmal mit dem Schiff unterwegs Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced wirkt wie genau das Remake, auf das viele Fans gewartet haben. Schon das Original gehört für viele zu den stärksten Teilen der Reihe, und die neue Version bringt dieses Gefühl auf der PS5 Pro noch einmal deutlich eindrucksvoller zurück. Besonders stark ist, wie gut das Spiel den Charme des Originals bewahrt und gleichzeitig moderner wirkt. Die Seefahrten, die karibische Atmosphäre und das Leben als Pirat fühlen sich immer noch frei und abenteuerlich an, aber die überarbeitete Präsentation macht alles klarer, lebendiger und insgesamt deutlich hochwertiger. Genau so sollte ein gutes Remake funktionieren: vertraut bleiben und trotzdem neu begeistern. Auf der PS5 Pro kommt diese Welt offenbar besonders gut zur Geltung. Schärfere Details, saubere Bildqualität und eine insgesamt deutlich stärkere technische Präsentation sorgen dafür, dass man noch tiefer in die tropische Spielwelt eintaucht. Das Meer wirkt bedrohlicher, die Inseln stimmungsvoller und die Kämpfe spürbar intensiver. Dadurch bekommt das Spiel eine frische Energie, ohne seinen Charakter zu verlieren. Gerade bei einem Spiel wie Black Flag ist das entscheidend, weil nicht nur die Geschichte, sondern auch das Gefühl der Freiheit trägt. Das Remake macht aus diesem Kern kein anderes Spiel, sondern ein deutlich schöneres und moderneres Erlebnis. Wer das Original mochte, bekommt hier die Chance, es in einer Form zu erleben, die dem Klassiker wirklich gerecht wird. Am Ende zeigt Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced vor allem eines: Ein starkes Spiel wird durch ein gutes Remake nicht ersetzt, sondern neu glänzen gelassen. Spielen wird wohl etwas teurer Zuletzt bei der Diskussion über die Steam Machine haben wir ja gehört, dass Hardware immer knapper und dadurch teurer wird. Dass sich das auch auf die alten Konsolen auswirkt dürfte so aber recht neu sein. Microsoft plant ordentliche Preiserhöhungen bei der bestehenden Konsolengeneration. Borncity berichtet von: Die Xbox Series S mit 512 GB wird dann knapp 500 Euro kosten, die 1-TB-Version schlägt mit rund 600 Euro zu Buche. Noch teurer wird es bei der High-End-Xbox Series X: Die Digital Edition ohne Laufwerk kostet künftig etwa 750 Euro, das Modell mit Disc-Laufwerk sogar rund 800 Euro. Preise sollen ab dem 1.8. gelten, wir nehmen vorher auf, deshalb können wir das nicht überprüfen. Eigentlich sollten die alten Dinger doch billiger werden. Zum Vergleich: Preise auf der Microsoft Webseite am 27.07.2026: Series X Digital, weiß, 1TB 549,99€ Series X Laufwerk Galaxy Black, 2TB 699,99€ Series S All Digital weiß 512 349,99€ Series S All Digital weiß 1TB 399,99€ Mitternacht Mitternacht von Ferris MC, Afrob feat. Jan Delay ist ein fetter Deutschrap-Track, der sofort Druck macht und mit seiner Energie hängen bleibt. Der Song hat genau diese Mischung aus Selbstbewusstsein, Härte und Flow, die einen starken Rap-Track ausmacht. Besonders stark ist, wie die drei Künstler zusammen funktionieren. Ferris MC bringt Präsenz und Kante rein, Afrob liefert diesen markanten, souveränen Rap-Style, und Jan Delay setzt mit seiner unverwechselbaren Art einen eigenen Akzent. Zusammen entsteht ein Sound, der nicht glatt wirken will, sondern direkt, eigenständig und voller Haltung ist. Der Track hat dieses typische Gefühl von Nacht, Straße und Spannung, das perfekt zum Titel passt. Mitternacht klingt nicht nach Hintergrundmusik, sondern nach einem Song, der Lautstärke braucht und Raum einnimmt. Genau das macht ihn so stark: Er wirkt entschlossen, trocken und dennoch eingängig. Auch heute hat der Song noch diesen besonderen Reiz, weil er aus einer Zeit kommt, in der Deutschrap stark über Persönlichkeit, Wortwitz und Attitüde funktioniert hat. Das macht den Track nicht nur cool, sondern auch zeitlos auf seine eigene Art. Er steht für eine Phase, in der deutscher Rap Charakter hatte und klar nach vorne ging. Am Ende bleibt Mitternacht ein Track, der zeigt, wie gut Deutschrap sein kann, wenn Haltung, Flow und Energie zusammenkommen. Ein echter Banger, der seinen Platz in der deutschen Rap-Geschichte verdient hat. Kommt das lineare glotzen zurück? Manche (inkl. Peppi) hatten gehofft, dass mit dem Streaming das goldene Zeitalter des Medienkonsums anbricht. Am Anfang war es das auch. Günstig, gute Auswahl an Inhalten, überschaubare Kosten und Anbieter. Nun gibt es viel mehr Anbieter, alle sind teurer und man muss eigentlich für jede dritte Serie wechseln wenn man nicht doppelt bezahlen will. Netflix merkt das wohl auch an immer mehr Kündigungen. Da kam nun wohl die Idee auf einen ganz alten Weg zu gehen. Offenbar denkt Netflix über das einführen von linearen Sendern nach. Was wir davon halten und wir dazu stehen im Vergleich zu Amazons senderkonzept besprechen wir in der Episode. Sony Wut! Das Ende der physischen Disc-Produktion bei Sony für PlayStation ist für viele Kunden und Gamer ein ernstes Problem. Es geht dabei nicht nur um Nostalgie, sondern um echte Fragen von Besitz, Freiheit und Verfügbarkeit. Wer Spiele heute nur noch digital kauft, ist stärker von Plattformen, Preisen und Lizenzmodellen abhängig. Eine Disc kann man weiterverkaufen, verleihen oder einfach ins Regal stellen. Eine digitale Version bleibt dagegen an ein Konto und an die Regeln des Anbieters gebunden. Genau das macht viele Spieler unruhig, weil ihnen ein Stück Kontrolle über ihre eigene Sammlung verloren geht. Für Sammler und Vielspieler ist das besonders bitter. Physische Editionen haben einen klaren Wert, der über den reinen Spielstart hinausgeht. Sie sind greifbar, unabhängig und oft auch langfristig sicherer als digitale Käufe, die theoretisch jederzeit aus dem Shop verschwinden können. Wenn Sony diesen Weg weiter konsequent verlässt, wird das Gaming für viele weniger frei und mehr von Konzernentscheidungen bestimmt. Dazu kommt ein praktischer Nachteil: Nicht jeder hat schnelles oder unbegrenztes Internet. Große Downloads, Updates und Neuinstallationen sind schon heute ein Thema. Disc-Versionen waren für viele eine einfache und verlässliche Lösung. Wenn diese Möglichkeit wegfällt, trifft das vor allem Kunden, die auf Komfort, Beständigkeit und echte Wahlfreiheit angewiesen sind. Am Ende ist das Ende der Disc-Produktion kein kleiner Fortschritt in Richtung Zukunft, sondern für viele ein Rückschritt. Es schwächt den Gebrauchtmarkt, macht Spieler abhängiger und nimmt dem Medium ein wichtiges Stück Unabhängigkeit. Genau deshalb ist dieser Schritt für Kunden und Gamer ein großes Problem.

Monoculture is so back…in more ways than one. From record breaking blockbusters, to nail-biting sports wins, to the chaos that is Love Island - there has been something for everyone this summer. But while we were in the streets rooting for the Knicks, following the World Cup, or waiting for IMAX tickets… heatwaves, wildfire smog, and explosive diarrhea also made notable appearances. Apparently, monoculture can be good, bad, and everything in between. Friend of the show and senior correspondent at Vox.com, Alex Abad-Santos, joins It's Been a Minute to unpack the highs and lows of our deep desire for monoculture.

Doug saw The Odyssey on opening weekend. Justin saw it the following Wednesday in IMAX 70mm. They both walked out saying the same thing: that is cinema at its finest. The full review is here. Justin's IMAX 70mm experience gets the full breakdown first. Every frame deliberately composed, the sheer amount of visual information on screen, the walk back to see the giant film spools running the projector. Then the film itself: what Nolan got right about scale, spectacle, and practical effects. The Cyclops was built using a combination of a massive puppet for the actors to work around and a real actor in full prosthetics and makeup on a scaled-down set, composited together the old-school way. The giants were played by actual seven-foot-tall people standing next to a stunt double under five feet tall. No CGI shortcut. No painted-in crowd. A thousand extras on the day they shot the Land of the Dead. Jon Bernthal in the water for half a day, approaching hypothermia, refusing to come out until they had the shot. Also in this episode: a significant announcement. Mind Gap Podcast is ending at Episode 550. Doug and Justin have been at this for eleven years and have decided Episode 550 is the right place to close the chapter. The Discord will remain active. The community is not going anywhere. But the podcast wraps in a few episodes. They discuss what the community has meant to them and why finding that group of people has been one of the best things to come out of eleven years of doing this. Before all that: at what age do you stop using familial titles like aunt and uncle? Doug does not have aunts, uncles, grandparents, or cousins, so the answer for him is immediate. Justin is forty-three and still says Uncle Mike. Also: Hooters is examined as a business model in the current era and found to be of questionable viability. Then: a deep dive into the Book of the Dead LitRPG series by RynoZ, which Doug is now three books into and cannot stop recommending. The world-building concept is that at age eighteen you put your hand on a stone and get assigned your permanent class, whether that is a farmer, a bard, an accountant, or a banned necromancer on the run from the government. This leads to a conversation about what class each host would want to be awakened into. Doug says cook. Justin says Urban Explorer, which is not a real class in the book but seems accurate. The Urban Dictionary game returns. This round covers Mickey Mousing, Eternity Leave, Werewolf's Dick, and Ottawa Spaghetti. Justin gets closer than expected on most of them. Ottawa Spaghetti takes a turn. This week's recommendations: Justin: The Odyssey. See it in the theater. See it in IMAX if you can. When it comes home it will still be great but feel it on a big screen first. Doug: Monsters Are Coming on Steam. Tower defense slash vampire survivors hybrid. Four dollars on sale. Highly addictive. Do not sleep on it.

Christopher Nolan's just released The Odyssey is another Nolan juggernaut, having made $700 million in just 12 days of release. It's also the first movie shot fully on IMAX film. And it's a certified classical epic. Often, cinema has pulled a kind of miraculous magic trick by finding technologies and film formats and the right epic material to make a movie in the theater a must see experience. Every time the naysayers write off movies or the movie theater, sound (1920's), color (1930's), widescreen (1950's) or 70MM (1950's-1960's) or immersive 3D (2000's Avatar) and now IMAX (2000's-present) somehow brings folks back. And makes believers out of us again. Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill looks at this history of epic-film format-rejuvenation. And wonders what we might be able to learn from it.
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.

A FILM! TWO CRITICS! A THOUGHT! A TALK! TO BREAK THE DISCOURSE OF NOLAN!After a decades-long journey of seeing Christopher Nolan's hot new Odyssey on the biggest available IMAX screen they could find, Joshicus and Andrewussy return to give their blessing over his take on the millennia-old tale. Tackling such a dense beast of a film, they get into Nolan's method of modernizing his adaptation, applying the biggest scope a 70mm IMAX camera could bring, and a lecture on Greek mythology and history by Professor Andrew. Follow Zeus's Law as our hosts decide if The Odyssey is a worthy step-up for Nolan or a rocky improvement in comparison to the rest of his films (Thankfully, it's not as horny as Oppenheimer). Next, they have One More Thing, recommending Parisian film tour Ciné-Balade (that's "ciné-walk," for the record, Josh) and customizable keyboard brand Lemokey.Next week, Josh and Andrew travel up the border to Canada and take a look at Sophy Romvari's acclaimed directorial debut Blue Heron. Until then, read on at the thetake-up.com and follow us @thetakeupstl on Instagram, Twitter, Letterboxd, and Facebook.

Tras 3 años de espera nos volvimos a reunir para hablar de Christopher Nolan y su adaptación de La Odisea. El británico vuelve a dar que hablar con la primera película rodada en su totalidad con cámaras IMAX y nosotros nos quedamos con muchas ganas de analizarla y debatirla. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Conxita Casanovas repasa los principales estrenos de la semana, encabezados por Spider-Man: Brand New Day, que ha firmado el mejor estreno del año en España. Además, analizamos por qué la nueva aventura del superhéroe no puede verse en formato IMAX mientras La Odisea de Christopher Nolan mantiene ocupadas estas salas. También descubrimos los nuevos discos de Ariana Grande, The Durutti Column y Francisca Valenzuela, recorremos el Festival Camp de Mart junto a su director Guillem Rius, hablamos con Jonay Armas sobre Un destino común, el libro que reúne las reflexiones de la cineasta Lucrecia Martel, y cerramos el programa con Elena Rosillo, que nos lleva al Summer of Love de San Francisco para desmontar algunos de los grandes mitos de la contracultura de los años sesenta.

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is undoubtedly this summer's blockbuster cinema experience. It's the first movie to be shot entirely with IMAX 70 mm film cameras, which have superior resolution and an aspect ratio much taller than most commercial cinemas. If you want to see it as the director intended, you need to see it at an IMAX theater, preferably one of the 25 in North America that are showing it on 70 mm film.

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 living in truly crazy times, and things that would not even be remotely controversial ten years ago now bring ire to certain parts of society. A while ago, the idea of Christopher Nolan filming an adaptation of THE ODYSSEY would bring universal interest, but now any perceived ""woke" decision brings multitudes of vitriol and "discourse".Today we take a look at this film on it's own merits, and see how a myth that has evolved through centuries is recontextualized for our day and age. Join us as we aura farm with Agamemnon and take a journey with Odysseus to Ithaca as we encounter war, trauma, acceptance, and forgiveness on 70mm IMAX (none of us saw it on this format). • • •TRIAD Of The FORCE is a STAR WARS+ podcast hosted by Gus, Nani, Nad, & Chase—Puerto Rican and queer creators sharing deep dives, and heartfelt conversations from a galaxy far, far away.

Hello, movie maniacs! This week Mary and David tried to see The Odyssey, but that was a no-go with Imax showings sold out until the end of August.

So…it’s Retro Fansplainers this week as Mary and David go back to 2023 and the film BlackBerry co-written and directed by Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie alum Matt Johnson with music by fellow Nirvanna… alum Jay McCarrol and cinematography by fellow Nirvanna… alum Jared Raab and co-written by fellow Nirvanna… alum Matthew Miller and co-starring Jay Baruchel, Glenn Howerton, Michael Ironside, Saul Rubinek and Cary Elwes who are not in Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie. It’s all ambition, hubris and cell phones, eh! Thanks for listening.

Is it better to experience something in the best possible format, or the most possible comfort?That's the debate that kicks off episode one of Brainwaves. The Odyssey is being called a must-see IMAX event, with screenings sold out for months, and neither of us managed to see it that way. Barry fought for the format and settled for Ultra AVX. Jason went straight for the VIP recliner and never looked back.From there we get into it: IMAX vs comfort, 4K discs vs streaming, owning movies vs long-term renting, and whether upgrading to a lie-flat pod on a 14-hour flight is worth every penny.Brainwaves is the show where we take pop culture and whatever debate we can't let go of and hash it out in about 20 minutes. Hosted by Jason Reilly and Barry Nixon. New episodes weekly.
We've got a lot to talk about this week as blockbuster season goes into overdrive with The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Plus, announcements new and old from Marvel leave all our hopes hanging on Peter Parker. Plus, new albums from some personal favorites including Steve Lacy, Syd, Charli xcx, and The Strokes.Hosted by Stephen Williams and Zack Miller

Bridget went and saw Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey this weekend and has a confession to make — she loved it. Zero pee breaks in a nearly three-hour movie. That's the highest rating she can give. She breaks down why the culture war around the casting is an idiotic hill to die on, and why the actual controversy nobody's talking about is 70mm IMAX privilege — that's what's really pissing off the white dudes. #TheOdyssey #ChristopherNolan #dumpsterfire Topics covered: The Odyssey 2026 review, Christopher Nolan Odyssey, Matt Damon Odyssey, Lupita Nyong'o Helen of Troy, Elliot Page Odyssey, 70mm IMAX theaters, Odyssey woke casting, Anne Hathaway Odyssey, Odyssey worth watching, Nolan movie review
Christopher Nolan'ın The Odyssey'i gerçekten Homeros'un ruhunu taşıyor mu? Odysseus neden daha sadık, vicdanlı ve modern bir kahramana dönüştürüldü? Penelope, Kirke, Kalypso ve Athena'nın hikâyeleri neden değiştirildi? Yıldızlarla dolu oyuncu kadrosu karakterlerin önüne mi geçti? Matt Damon doğru Odysseus muydu? Nolan'ın Amerikanlaştırılmış diyalogları destanın şiirselliğini ortadan mı kaldırdı? Baştan sona IMAX kameralarıyla çekilen dev yapım sinemasal bir başarı mı, yoksa görkemli ama yüzeysel bir Hollywood filmi mi? The Odyssey iyi bir film ama kötü bir uyarlama olabilir mi?

I'll See You In HELL!! A Podcast about movies that kick ass and take names!!!
Nathan and Ollie set sail for the shores of Troy to dig into Wolfgang Petersen's 2004 sword-and-sandals epic. They break down Brad Pitt's brooding Achilles, Eric Bana's honor-bound Hector, and that infamous wooden horse, weighing where the film soars, where it stumbles, and how much liberty it takes with Homer.They also give their verdict on Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, having caught the summer's biggest cinematic event on the big screen. Shot entirely on IMAX 70mm film with a reported $250 million budget and starring Matt Damon as Odysseus, it's Nolan's most ambitious project yet. The guys share their honest impressions and debate how it stacks up against Troy as Hollywood's latest trip into Greek myth.
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.

We are wrapping up our 2026 Summer Blockbusters lineup with the grandest, most ambitious titan of the season: Nolan's massive, star-studded adaptation of The Odyssey. Shot entirely on new IMAX film cameras across global locations, this 172 minute mythic action epic is easily the biggest cinematic event of July.To fuel ourselves for a ten year journey home, Mackenzie is serving up a refreshing custom cocktail - The Lotus Flower - but it packs a punch strong enough to make you forget your own homeland.This week, we dive into how Nolan takes Homer's foundational, 3,000 year old poem and turns it into a high-stakes blockbuster. We discuss Matt Damon's fiercely physical performance as Odysseus, capturing a king who is a brilliant, wily strategist but entirely worn down by war and cosmic obstacles. We gush over the incredible ensemble cast, highlighting Anne Hathaway's fierce, resilient Penelope, Tom Holland's raw and restless turn as Telemachus, the scene-stealing presence of Zendaya as Athena, and Charlize Theron as Calypso. We also break down the film's spectacular, practical effects heavy encounters, from the terrifying scale of the Cyclops Polyphemus to the haunting sound design of the Sirens, and analyze how Hoyte van Hoytema's breathtaking cinematography makes ancient myth feel completely immediate and real.If you have your tickets booked for the nearest 70mm IMAX screen, or if you just want to hear us debate how Nolan managed to make a three hour ancient Greek poem feel like a relentless sci-fi thriller, this is the episode you need. We are blending our awe for a master filmmaker at the absolute peak of his craft with our usual casual banter, making this the true, definitive grand finale of our summer blockbuster coverage. The gods have spoken.This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming up.
