Diesmal wird's monothematisch: Wir haben beide Christopher Nolans „Odyssey" gesehen – und reden eine ganze Folge darüber. Robert nennt ihn sogar einen von Nolans besten Filmen überhaupt. Wir sprechen über die Szenen, die uns am meisten mitgenommen haben: die Verwandlung der Mannschaft in Schweine, der creepy Zyklop, die erbarmungslosen Riesen auf ihrer Insel und die Toten, die im schwarzen Kies wieder auferstehen. Über das Pacing eines Drei-Stunden-Films, der sich nie lang anfühlt, den starken Cast (Matt Damon, Robert Pattinson als perfektes Ars*ch, Travis Scott) und darüber, warum der Film fast schon Horror-Elemente hat. Dann der Technik-Teil: Warum wir „Odyssey" nur „normal" im Kino gesehen haben – und was 70-mm-IMAX eigentlich so besonders macht. Wir reden über die Handvoll Kinos weltweit (Prag, London, Brüssel – alle ausverkauft), was eine einzige 70-mm-Filmkopie kostet, wie oft sie hält, und warum die „elitär"-Kritik an Nolan aus unserer Sicht ins Leere läuft. Außerdem: was Nolan sich an künstlerischen Freiheiten gegenüber der 3000 Jahre alten Vorlage erlaubt hat, die drei Handlungsstränge (Troja, die fantastische Rückreise, Ithaka), Odysseus als traumatisierter Heimkehrer – und warum wir uns beide „Herr der Ringe" mal in genau diesem düster-geerdeten Nolan-Stil wünschen würden. Und am Ende noch ein kleiner Interstellar-Nerd-Streit übers Drohne-Steuern per Trackpad. Achtung: In dieser Folge wird die Handlung ausführlich besprochen – also Spoiler satt.

Eines vorweg: Christopher Nolan hat das Epos von Homer (und das Publikum) mit Respekt behandelt. Gerade für Zuschauer, die sich kaum oder gar nicht mit griechischer Mythologie oder den Geschichten rund um den trojanischen Krieg auskennen, ist Nolans Film ein wirklich guter Einsteig. Mich hat begeistert, wie viel in der Pause und nach dem Kino von fast allen Zuschauern über die Menschen, Monster und Götter der Odyssee gefragt, geantwortet und diskutiert worden ist. Vom Gilgamesch-Epos abgesehen sind Ilias und Odyssee die ältesten literarischen Werke, die wir kennen – mit Odysseus als einem modernen Helden, der neugierig und eigensinnig ist und lieber auf seinen eigenen scharfen Verstand vertraut als auf die Götter.Nolan entblättert nach und nach seine depriminierende Botschaft: Wir selbst sind der Untergang unserer Zivilisation – und er zeigt Odysseus (Matt Damon) als den klügsten Krieger, der nicht nur den Trojanischen Krieg mit seiner List gewinnt sondern auch die Schuld erkennt, die die siegreichen Griechen mit dem Massaker in Troja auf sich geladen haben. Ein Held mit posttraumatischer Belastungsstörung, der in den Armen der Nymphe Calypso (Charlize Theron) seine schrecklichen Erinnerungen verdrängt. Nolans ODYSSEE wirkt in keiner Szene wie ein Sandalenfilm, weil immer an realen, wunderbar ausgesuchten Orten gedreht wurde und CGI-Effekte zwar existieren aber praktisch unsichtbar sind.Im Podcast direkt nach dem Kino sind wir unterschiedlicher Meinung und sprechen über Frauenfiguren, nonlineares Erzählen, über Vorteile und Nachteile einer Starbesetzung und ob Nolan mit IMAX einer fixen Idee nachgejagt ist, die dem Film vielleicht nicht gut getan hat … Am Mikrofon nach drei Stunden Kino: Heidi, Johanna, Anke, Marc, Tom und Thomas.Thomas war zu seiner großen Freude Gast bei Christian im Filmpodcast Second Unit und die beiden haben sich etwas ausführlicher mit Nolans Film beschäftigt – 2,5 Stunden :-) Wir empfehlen: Erst Film schauen, dann bei SchönerDenken ersten Eindruck hören, dann die Langfassung bei Second Unit (aber immer noch kürzer als der Film).

Vor rund 2500 Jahren soll der legendäre Homer eine Geschichte geschrieben haben, die bis heute erzählt wird. Odysseus, der Held von Troja, irrt auf seiner Heimreise nach Ithaka 10 Jahre übers Meer, muss sich diversen Hindernissen stellen und verliert seine gesamte Crew. Wir untersuchen, auf welchen historischen Fundamenten die Sage beruht, wie sie als Erzählung funktioniert und weshalb sie bis heute so relevant geblieben ist, dass der teuerste Film dieses Sommers von ihr handelt.Du hast Feedback oder einen Themenvorschlag für Joachim und Nils?

The Planets Series begins with our closest and most intimate neighbour: the moon. The moon represents the dreaming mind, our instinctive life and our guidance system to the emotional waves of our turbulent lives. Each of these elements of the moon is explored in this episode with the help of three mythic figures:Selene as a personification of the moon riding her white cow through the sky, visiting her lover Endymion (one who finds himself within) in his cave as he dreams the eternal dream.Artemis as the wild, instinctual life that stays true to her nature and close to her essence. and Hekate, the triple goddess, who has her home in the underworld. It's Hekate who arrives in our most desperate times of need to accompany us in the realm of grief and loss. The second half of the podcast begins with the image of Grimm's Hansel staring longingly back at his home as he's taken into the woods by his step-mother to be abandoned. He drops white stones on the ground that are then lit up by the moonlight to guide him back home. From there we visit Mnemosyne's cellular memory, the thread-weavers and the way Ithaka pulls at Odysseus.The Gorgons, including Medusa, will help us relate to the moments we feel unrelatable. There are many links between Medusa, the ocean and the moon. Including the Orphics calling the moon's face the Gorgoneion.And finally Rilke with some soul-soothing words in his poem 'You Come and Go'.Cover Art: Endymion : Effet de lune, ou Le Sommeil d'Endymion (The Sleep of Endymion), Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson, 1791.I leant heavily on Gods of the Greeks, Carl Kerenyi, 1951Very thankful to Brian Clark, Melanie Reinhart, Travis Elliot and Milena Kadziela for their help in the creation of this podcast.For my German audience...

Rückkehr nach Ithaka | Der Epilog zu "The Odyssey" Bevor Christopher Nolan nächsten Sommer seine „The Odyssey“ ins Kino bringt, erscheint am 27. November bereits „Rückkehr nach Ithaka“, den Laura und Lasse vorab für uns gesehen und im Podcast besprochen haben. Der Film zeigt Odysseus (Ralph Fiennes) zwanzig Jahre nach dem Trojanischen Krieg als ausgelaugten Heimkehrer, der unerkannt in ein verödetes Ithaka zurückkehrt. Penelope (Juliette Binoche) wird in ihrem eigenen Haus von skrupellosen Freiern bedrängt, die sie zu einer Neuvermählung drängen, während Telemachos ohne Vater aufgewachsen und von denselben Männern bedroht wird. Odysseus, vom Krieg innerlich gezeichnet und weit entfernt von seinem einstigen Heldenbild, muss sich trotz Müdigkeit und Schuldgefühlen erneut aufrichten, um seine Familie zu retten und die verloren geglaubte Kraft in sich wiederzufinden.

He was born to Muslim parents in Konitsa of Albania — the ancient region of Epirus. His father was a prominent ruler among the Muslims and a member of the Sufi order, sometimes called dervishes, a mystical Islamic sect. John himself became a prominent Sufi and settled in Joannina. Though not a Christian, he attended to his conscience and lived a sober and prayerful life.   Over time, he became increasingly attracted to the Christian faith and, in time, asked for holy Baptism. No Christian in his region dared to baptize him, knowing the reprisals that would follow. So John migrated to Ithaka, was baptized, and settled there in a village called Xiromeron, where he married and lived as a simple countryman. In 1813, John's father somehow learned where he was, and that he had become a Christian. He sent two Sufis to bring him back and restore him to the Muslim faith. Because of this, the Ottoman authorities on Ithaka learned who he was and brought him before a judge. To each of the judge's questions John would only reply 'I am a Christian and I am called John.'   Realizing that no amount of persuasion or coercion would move him, the authorities determined to behead him. At his execution, since they would not loose his hands so that he could make the sign of the Cross, John cried out 'Lord, Remember me when Thou comest into Thy Kingdom!' With these words he submitted himself to a Martyr's end. The Turks intended to leave his body for the dogs, but pious Christians retrieved it and secretly gave it honorable burial.

While speed, accuracy, and consistency mattered in the drive-thru, the real differentiator was hospitality: how team members made guests feel in just 60 seconds.Ryan explains how Chick-fil-A trains frontline employees, many of whom are just 17 or 18 years old, to view each guest not as an order, but as a person with challenges and opportunities to be cared for. This approach transformed transactions into moments of genuine connection.For hospitality leaders, Ryan's story highlights how small interactions can shape big impressions, and why training to focus on human connection may be the most powerful investment you can make.

(01:30) De Nederlandse stichting ‘Christenen voor Israël' helpt kolonisten bij illegale bezetting op de Westelijke Jordaanoever. Dat bleek deze week uit onderzoek van Investico in samenwerking met BOOS. Het is een tekenend voorbeeld van Israël-steun vanuit de Nederlands christelijke hoek. En dat heeft een langere geschiedenis dan we denken. Het is terug te voeren naar de jonge Nederlandse Republiek, zo meent onze gast theoloog Janneke Stegeman.  (15:05) Poedelnaakt spoelt de gehavende Odysseus aan op de kiezelstranden van Ithaka, een openingsbeeld dat meteen de toon zet voor de nieuwe film The Return. Hoe wordt het verhaal van Odysseus in The Return verteld en wat is de aantrekkingskracht van dit eeuwenoude epos? Koen Vacano doet onderzoek naar de manier waarop de klassieke epische verhalentraditie doorwerkt in hedendaagse films. Hij is te gast. (27:00) Fresco Sam-Sin bespreekt drie historische boeken:  Voor vrouw en kind  - Tsila Rädecker  Uit liefde voor het lezen -  Irene Vallejo (vert. Adri Boon)    Door vrouwen gedragen  - Yvette Kopijn   (xx:xx) De grootvader van Maarten van Riel was een van de duizenden textielarbeiders die Tilburg rijk was. De stad was de spil van zijn bestaan, maar ook de plek waar hij een einde maakte aan zijn leven. In het boek Het verdriet van Tilburg schetst Van Riel de tragische geschiedenis van de Tilburgse textielindustrie, en hoe dat verband houdt met de dood van zijn grootvader. De auteur is te gast.   Meer info: https://www.vpro.nl/programmas/ovt/luister/afleveringen/2025/30-03-2025.html#  (https://www.vpro.nl/programmas/ovt/luister/afleveringen/2025/30-03-2025.html)

Kingmaker: Secrets, Lies, and the Truth about Five Prime Ministers (Ithaka, 2024) by Sir Graham Brady provides an insider's look at the power struggles, leadership challenges, and inner workings of the UK's Conservative Party, especially during the upheaval of Brexit. Brady, as Chairman of the influential 1922 Committee, reveals how the party's leadership dynamics and strategic decisions have shaped British politics in recent years. One of the central themes is leadership and power. Brady examines Conservative leaders like David Cameron, Theresa May, and Boris Johnson, exploring their unique approaches to leadership and the challenges each faced, particularly around Brexit. The book highlights the role of the 1922 Committee, which often acts as a gatekeeper in leadership transitions and plays a critical role in maintaining—or challenging—party unity. Brexit is a major focus, illustrating how the referendum and subsequent negotiations divided the party and redefined its priorities. Brady provides an inside look at the differing strategies of May and Johnson, from May's struggles to secure a deal to Johnson's assertive push to “Get Brexit Done.” The book also explores party unity and division, revealing how internal conflicts, factionalism, and ideological rifts tested the party's cohesion, especially during Brexit. Brady explains how these tensions influenced not only party policies but also public perception. Additionally, Brady shares personal reflections from his time in a key leadership position, offering readers a behind-the-scenes view of critical decisions and events. He also discusses the impact of media and public opinion, emphasizing how they shape the strategies and images of political leaders. Overall, Kingmaker provides a comprehensive view of the Conservative Party's recent history, giving readers a unique perspective on political leadership, the challenges of Brexit, and the often-hidden forces influencing British politics.

He was born to Muslim parents in Konitsa of Albania — the ancient region of Epirus. His father was a prominent ruler among the Muslims and a member of the Sufi order, sometimes called dervishes, a mystical Islamic sect. John himself became a prominent Sufi and settled in Joannina. Though not a Christian, he attended to his conscience and lived a sober and prayerful life.   Over time, he became increasingly attracted to the Christian faith and, in time, asked for holy Baptism. No Christian in his region dared to baptize him, knowing the reprisals that would follow. So John migrated to Ithaka, was baptized, and settled there in a village called Xiromeron, where he married and lived as a simple countryman. In 1813, John's father somehow learned where he was, and that he had become a Christian. He sent two Sufis to bring him back and restore him to the Muslim faith. Because of this, the Ottoman authorities on Ithaka learned who he was and brought him before a judge. To each of the judge's questions John would only reply 'I am a Christian and I am called John.'   Realizing that no amount of persuasion or coercion would move him, the authorities determined to behead him. At his execution, since they would not loose his hands so that he could make the sign of the Cross, John cried out 'Lord, Remember me when Thou comest into Thy Kingdom!' With these words he submitted himself to a Martyr's end. The Turks intended to leave his body for the dogs, but pious Christians retrieved it and secretly gave it honorable burial.
