Connect with quality therapists and mental health experts who specialize in you at ⁠https://www.rula.com/REJECTS⁠ ⁠#rulapod⁠ The Odyssey Trailer Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis! Greg Alba & John Humphrey react to The Odyssey Official Trailer, breaking down the epic return of Homer's legendary myth through a modern cinematic lens. From the long journey of Odysseus to the fate of Penelope and Telemachus, this trailer teases gods, monsters, war, destiny, and survival at sea. We discuss the scale, tone, visuals, mythological accuracy, and how this adaptation appears to balance grounded human emotion with supernatural spectacle. The movie is set to showcase Iconic figures like Odysseus, Penelope, Telemachus, Athena, Poseidon, Circe, Calypso, Polyphemus, the Sirens, and the Lotus-Eaters, while teasing legendary moments such as the Trojan War aftermath, the Cyclops encounter, the siren song, the long voyage home, and the battle to reclaim Ithaca. We also dive into the cast, performances teased in the footage, the music, cinematography, and how this version compares to past adaptations and the original epic poem. This discussion explores whether The Odyssey is positioning itself as a prestige mythological epic, a grounded survival story, or a full fantasy spectacle — and how it could resonate with modern audiences. Let us know your thoughts on the trailer, the casting, and whether this looks like a faithful or reimagined take on Homer's timeless story.

Multipolarity Dialogues is a series of interviews that scan the geopolitical horizon. We talk to some of the sharpest analysts, thinkers, and experts about how they see the world beyond the visible edge of the geopolitical now.The Middle East is as violent and fractious as ever. Now the questions that arise from that violence appear more important than ever. Israel seems to want to end the chaos in a way that provides it with military dominance over the region and some semblance of peace. But can it achieve this or even survive for much longer? Given the scale of enmity it faces in the region and the recent shifts in US domestic politics. What of Egypt, which has been since the Second World War, the dominant military power within the region? And are we seeing the reemergence of Turkey to its traditional place as regional hegemon? Well, to answer these questions we have Firas Modad joining us.Firas is a Druze Lebanese convert to Catholicism, who now lives and works in the UK.
