Then full spoilers on the ending — the Ithaca reveal, the suitors exploiting Zeus's law, Calypso's island, and how Nolan closes the film on the Trojan horse. </p><p><br></p><p>We wrap with our recurring This or That game, run through Nolan's entire filmography from Following to The Odyssey.</p><p><br></p><p>Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/22Qz_hquKJU</p><p><br></p><h4><strong>⏱️ TIMESTAMPS</strong></h4><p>(00:00) Intro</p><p>(01:43) We Watched It in IMAX — Was It Worth It?</p><p>(03:18) The Ensemble Cast</p><p>(05:36) Nolan's Box Office Predictions</p><p>(09:37) Why Has Nobody Adapted The Odyssey Before?</p><p>(09:58) Positives: Visuals &amp; Practical Effects</p><p>(18:18) The Cyclops Scene &amp; Horror Elements</p><p>(25:54) Negatives — Was Anything Wrong With It?</p><p>(28:55) SPOILERS: The Ithaca Reveal</p><p>(30:25) SPOILERS: The Suitors &amp; Calypso's Island</p><p>(35:47) SPOILERS: The Ending — Trojan Horse Symbolism</p><p>(38:48) This or That: The Full Nolan Filmography Gauntlet</p><p>(43:09) What's Next: Spider-Man Brand New Day</p><p>(45:13) Where to Find Us</p><p><br></p><p>If you want to support this podcast so we can keep producing our content for free consider the following options:</p><p>Buy us a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/CRecalibration</p><p><br></p><p>If you wish to contact us to ask a question or give us some feedback, please do so via the channels below:</p><p>Facebook Page: Cognitive Recalibration</p><p>Instagram: cognitiverecalibration</p><p>Twitter: @CRecalibration</p><p>TikTok: @cogrecal</p><p><br></p><p>#TheOdyssey #ChristopherNolan #FilmPodcast #MattDamon #GreekMythology #NolanRanked #movienews</p>","author_name":"Cognitive Recalibration"}
