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.

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?

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).

Los cambios del oscarizado director en la epopeya griega indignan a los puristas. Hablamos de este nuevo clásico con el escritor Javier Negrete. En esta nueva entrega del pódcast Par Impar emitida en esRadio, los presentadores Juanma González y Dani Palacios, junto al escritor y especialista Javier Negrete, analizan una muy peculiar adaptación cinematográfica de La Odisea que supuestamente ha dirigido el cineasta Christopher Nolan. Los contertulios destripan esta hipotética superproducción con un tono cargado de humor y crítica, comparando la visión de Nolan con el mito clásico de Homero. La conversación se centra inicialmente en las decisiones técnicas y narrativas de la película, destacando el uso obsesivo del formato IMAX por parte de Nolan. Este sistema, aunque visualmente imponente, dificulta enormemente la filmación de las coreografías de combate en espacios cerrados. Los presentadores comparan este estilo con el de la película Troya, dirigida por Wolfgang Petersen, donde los enfrentamientos entre Brad Pitt y Eric Bana alcanzaron una cota de realismo y espectacularidad difícil de superar. Uno de los temas clave del debate es la representación de la ley de Zeus o la hospitalidad griega (xenia), un elemento sagrado en los poemas homéricos. El invitado Javier Negrete, autor de la novela Odisea editada por HarperCollins, explica cómo en la película de Nolan este concepto se simplifica para convertirlo en una suerte de justificación moral para la matanza final de los pretendientes, adaptándolo al estilo oscuro y denso del director. En cuanto al reparto, destaca la elección de Matt Damon para encarnar a un Ulises que se aleja del héroe astuto clásico para mostrarse como un soldado traumatizado y consumido por la culpa tras la caída de Troya, un enfoque muy en la línea de producciones como Oppenheimer. La actriz Anne Hathaway asume el papel de Penélope, logrando dotar de gran carga dramática a sus escenas frente a un joven Telémaco interpretado por Tom Holland. La película no escatima en licencias creativas y polémicas, como la inclusión del personaje de Sinón, interpretado por Elliot Page, que pertenece en realidad al ciclo troyano de la Eneida de Virgilio. Por su parte, la actriz Zendaya da vida a una Atenea que en esta versión no es una deidad física, sino una representación psicológica de la mala conciencia del protagonista, un recurso muy habitual en la filmografía de Nolan. La mitología fantástica se reinterpreta bajo un prisma de terror y ciencia ficción. El Cíclope es retratado como un gigante mutante con una deformidad ocular vertical, un diseño que combina efectos prácticos con CGI y que recuerda al Grendel de la película Beowulf de Robert Zemeckis. Del mismo modo, la escena de Circe —interpretada por Samantha Morton— se transforma en un pasaje de body horror donde los hombres se convierten en cerdos mediante impactantes efectos físicos. Finalmente, el análisis de la secuencia de las Sirenas y el regreso a Ítaca desvela la maestría de Nolan en el uso del recurso sonoro, ensordeciendo el ambiente para resaltar la música mientras los marineros usan cera en los oídos. Para cerrar la emisión, los presentadores repasan otras adaptaciones populares de la obra, como la comedia O Brother, Where Art Thou? de los hermanos Coen o la mítica versión teatral de El Joglars en los años setenta, concluyendo que esta original propuesta consigue acercar la literatura clásica al gran público.

Hosts Ema Sasic and Kevin Schwaller take listeners on quite the odyssey today, filled with moody men, gorgeous women and a bunch of mystical creatures.

The Odyssey (2026) Directed by: Christopher Nolan Written by: Christopher Nolan Starring: Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Samantha Morton, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, Elliot Page, John Leguizamo, Benny Safdie, Jon Bernthal, Himesh Patel, Mia Goth, Bill Irwin, Travis Scott IMDB: [IMDB LINK] Episode Summary In this episode of Mindframes, Michael and Dave discuss The Odyssey (2026), Christopher Nolan's three-hour adaptation of Homer — a $250 million epic and the first narrative feature shot entirely on IMAX 70mm. The discussion covers Nolan as an auteur and whether the "never made a bad movie" claim holds up, the practical-effects approach to the Cyclops and Circe, the deliberately cold Northern palette imposed on the Mediterranean, Ludwig Göransson's score, and an ensemble so large the hosts concede they can't get to everyone. After the ratings, the spoiler section turns to the film's central choice: the Olympian gods have been removed while the monsters remain, and what that does to Odysseus' moral agency. Comparisons range across Nolan's own filmography, Troy, The Northman, and the sword-and-sandal epics of the 1950s and '60s. Reviews Michael: 4.5 / 5 — came out thinking four, and it has only grown in his esteem since. Praises the baseline of visual and musical quality, Damon working better as a lead than expected, and a supporting cast that carries every stop on the journey. Docks it for a cast so crowded it distracts, and for an ending too in love with its own moralism. Dave: 4.5 / 5 — would watch it again in a heartbeat. Calls it a film that grabs hold of empire, heroism, reverence, and humility all at once, and rates the separation of gods from monsters as pitch perfect. His one dent in the fender: the film plays a little episodic, a series of very large encounters rather than a single build. Thematic Discussion The Odyssey removes the Olympians but keeps the monsters. Circe, the Sirens, and the Cyclops are all simply part of the natural world here; it's Athena and Zeus who stay shadowy and inferred. Michael's reading is that this absence exists to hand moral agency back to Odysseus — if the gods were visibly steering, his guilt over the Trojan Horse wouldn't be his to carry. That guilt is framed through xenia, the Greek code of hospitality. Odysseus offered a gift that turned out to be murder, and comes to believe that breaking that norm is what set his civilization's collapse in motion. The hosts draw the parallel to the erosion of political and social norms in contemporary America, and to the film's closing turn — the Bronze Age is ending because of the Sea Peoples, and the Greeks realize they are the Sea Peoples. The episode's central disagreement is over Athena. Dave reads her as constructed: she wears the face of a priestess Odysseus watched his own men murder in her temple, and the film is showing how humans build gods out of guilt and the sense that something is sacred. Michael pushes back that the film sustains a genuine ambiguity — the idea that gods appear in human form is planted repeatedly, and the priestess is decapitated at the exact moment Athena's statue is, which leaves open that Odysseus may believe they killed a god. He points to the same ambiguity in the Cyclops' cry to Poseidon, which some of the crew claim to hear and neither Odysseus nor the audience does. Neither host resolves it, and both prefer it that way. Michael's position is that the ambiguity is the answer rather than the absence of one — something underpins their world that they don't fully see and are damaging anyway, whether that's Zeus and Poseidon or simply decency and the value of human life. Dave, arriving from a position of religious faith, says he likes that Odysseus has to live in the same uncertain world the rest of us do. The structural evidence they land on: Homer ends with a deus ex machina, Athena descending to stop the cycle of revenge. Nolan cuts it. Nobody intervenes, so Odysseus abdicates, gives the throne to Telemachus, and sails west with Penelope — a change that hands the ending's moral weight entirely to the man.

Welcome back to Moviewallas, your weekly dose of film reviews, movie news, and general banter – in theatres, on streaming, or in the back of an airplane. This week, Joe, Rashmi, and Yazdi take on just one movie, but it is a very big one: Christopher Nolan's sprawling, IMAX-shot adaptation of The Odyssey. Before setting sail, the team celebrates Rashmi's newly published children's book, Your Fluff Is Enough, now available through major booksellers. Learn more about Lenny the sheep, the Happy Wiggly farm, and the book's message of self-acceptance at happywiggly.com. Streaming Picks – “I Can't Find Anything to Watch…” Remarkably Bright Creatures – Netflix Yazdi recommends this warm adaptation of Shelby Van Pelt's novel, starring Sally Field as an aquarium custodian whose story unfolds with a little help from a remarkably observant octopus. India Sweets and Spices – Netflix Rashmi revisits this charming indie dramedy about family, community expectations, hidden histories, and a young woman returning home from college. Warrior – Prime Video Joe reaches back into the early Moviewallas archives for this powerful sports drama starring Tom Hardy, Joel Edgerton, and Nick Nolte. It may look like a conventional fighting movie, but its performances and emotional weight lift it far above the genre clichés. The Odyssey Christopher Nolan takes on one of the oldest and most influential stories ever told, with Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Tom Holland as Telemachus, and a huge ensemble that includes Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Lupita Nyong'o, Himesh Patel, Samantha Morton, and more. Shot entirely in IMAX, this is Nolan operating at his most ambitious: vast locations, practical filmmaking, mythological creatures, booming sound design, and a story that spans war, guilt, temptation, survival, and the long journey home. The team discusses the film's extraordinary technical achievement, its unconventional structure, Nolan's reinterpretation of the story's women, Matt Damon's take on Odysseus, and whether all that cinematic majesty comes with enough emotional warmth. They also debate whether Nolan's devotion to IMAX and fractured timelines strengthens the story or sometimes gets in its way. Despite a few reservations, everyone agrees that The Odyssey demands to be seen on the biggest screen possible.

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.

Tonight on **Damn You Hollywood**, we're reviewing Christopher Nolan's *The Odyssey* (2026), a $250 million epic action-fantasy adapting Homer's timeless tale of war, survival, and the long road home. Matt Damon stars as Odysseus, the King of Ithaca, whose decade-long journey after the Trojan War pits him against monsters, gods, and his own pride as he struggles to reunite with Penelope (Anne Hathaway). The ensemble cast also features Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Samantha Morton, Zendaya, and Charlize Theron. Inspired by multiple translations of the poem as well as classics like *Ran* and *Andrei Rublev*, Nolan shot the film entirely on IMAX 70mm cameras across Europe and North Africa. Released on July 17, 2026, *The Odyssey* has become both a critical and commercial triumph, continuing Nolan's run as one of Hollywood's premier blockbuster filmmakers.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

Christopher Nolan does not do anything small, so of course his Odyssey is shot entirely on IMAX film, scored on Bronze Age instruments, and staged with a sixty-foot practical Cyclops in an actual cave full of actual bees. Pete Wright, Tommy Metz III, Ocean Murff, and Steve Sarmento pull up an oar for The Film Board's monthly round-table to figure out what all that machinery is actually in service of — because the surprising thing about The Odyssey isn't the spectacle. It's that Nolan takes Homer's victory lap and turns it into a reckoning.Full spoilers throughout. The board digs into how the film reframes the hero: Matt Damon's Odysseus is a man who's very good at winning and increasingly sick about what winning costs, the Trojan Horse recast from clever trick to war crime, the whole story quietly asking whether "war hero" is a contradiction in terms. They get into Nolan the skeptic making a fantasy — the gods pushed to the psychological margins, Athena reimagined as guilt wearing Zendaya's face — and how a stacked cast (Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Charlize Theron, Samantha Morton, Robert Pattinson as a suitor you will genuinely want dead) grounds all the myth in something human.But the craft you guys… Ludwig Göransson's relentless, orchestra-free score built from gongs and scrap metal; the editing that makes a 172-minute movie move; the new camera Nolan had built and the reels that had to change every three minutes mid-scene. Steve saw it in the pristine 70mm format and comes back a little evangelized. Is a 98% Rotten Tomatoes score is earned or just the Nolan logo doing its work? What is the film is really saying about who we root for in a war? Plus, stick around past the credits for a genuine argument about whether the gods exist in this movie at all.The Film Board is a monthly round-table on new theatrical releases.

The Odyssey is a 2026 epic fantasy action film written and directed by Christopher Nolan. An adaptation of Homer's ancient Greek epic poem the Odyssey, Matt Damon stars as Odysseus, the Greek king of Ithaca, and it chronicles his long and perilous journey home after the Trojan War and his encounters with mythical beings as he attempts to reunite with his wife, Penelope, portrayed by Anne Hathaway. The ensemble cast includes Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Samantha Morton, Zendaya, and Charlize Theron. Nolan and his wife Emma Thomas produced the film through their production company, Syncopy.Nolan began writing the script in March 2024 and had secured the project with Universal Pictures by October. The Odyssey was announced in December. Casting took place from late 2024 through early 2025, and Damon was confirmed for the lead role in February 2025. Nolan studied several translations of the Odyssey. He depicted a realistic interpretation of Greek mythology, drawing inspiration from the epic historical films Andrei Rublev (1966) and Ran (1985), as well as the films of special effects artist Ray Harryhausen. Filming took place from February to August 2025 in Morocco, Greece, Italy, Scotland, Iceland, Western Sahara, and Malta, as well as at the Universal Studios Lot in Los Angeles. With an estimated budget of $250 million, The Odyssey is among the most expensive of Nolan's career, and the first to be shot entirely on IMAX's 70 mm film cameras. Leading up to the release, the costume and production designs, accents, dialogue, and casting choices sparked critical discussion and scrutiny regarding perceived historical accuracy to the setting depicted and faithfulness to the source material.The Odyssey premiered on July 6, 2026, at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London, ahead of a theatrical release by Universal Pictures on July 17 in the US and the UK. It was made available in IMAX and multiple premium large formats. The Odyssey received acclaim, with particular praise for Nolan's direction. It has grossed $39 million. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tras la guerra de Troya, el héroe griego Odiseo emprende un largo regreso a su hogar y a su familia, su esposa Penélope y su hijo Telémaco, enfrentándose a figuras de la mitología griega como el Cíclope Polifemo, las Sirenas y Calipso.El nuevo largometraje del director británico Christopher Nolan es una verdadera experiencia visual y auditiva, con un cuidado trabajo en todos los aspectos para ofrecer un espectáculo de tres horas de duración que asombrará al público.En su reparto destacan numerosas figuras del cine, tanto en los roles protagónicos como Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland y Robert Pattinson; como en papeles de apoyo a la historia, como las ganadoras del Oscar Charlize Theron y Lupita Nyong'o, así como Zendaya, Samantha Morton, John Leguizamo, Jon Bernthal, Himesh Patel y Elliot Page.¿Dónde ver La Odisea en Chile? Nuestra recomendación es buscar la pantalla más grande de cine que tengas cerca. Si tienes la posibilidad, sugerimos asistir a alguna de las dos salas IMAX que están en Santiago y que ofrecen la experiencia más cercana a lo diseñado por Nolan y su equipo. Y si no es posible, lo mejor es que ubiques la pantalla más grande a la que puedas ir en tu ciudad y región.Estrenos y Razones, con Joel Poblete.Encuentra más contenidos como este en Cooperativapodcast.cl

This week Evan and Dave sat side by side in the movie house (notably not an IMAX movie house) to watch THE ODYSSEY (2:44), Christopher Nolan's film of Homer's epic poem. Because after OPPENHEIMER, what do you do? Swords and sandals, obviously. Look, folks. This film is long. But it's engaging, has an incredible score, and Matt Damon gives the performance of this career, along with excellent work from Anne Hathaway, John Leguizamo, Robert Pattinson, Himesh Patel, and Samantha Morton. Evan is on board with the movie, and Dave is, too, though they're both ambivalent about Nolan, and they go down that rabbit hole, too. And Spoilerpiece is 12 years old! Wow! We'd make a joke about time flying, but nah. We just go through some of the ups and downs and then get the hell off the mic. Over on Patreon, we talk about NOBODY 2.

Our conversation moves to Minority Report and praise the performances of Colin Farrell, Samantha Morton, Max von Sydow, Time Blake Nelson, Peter Stormare and, of course, Tom Cruise. We discuss the cinematography of both films, the work of Janusz Kaminski. We make the connection between Steven Spielberg's later work and the careers of Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese.
