Feel like you've heard WAY too much about Odysseus? Too bad, because we're wrapping up our season with one more iteration of the famous Homeric hero. But this time, we're going old-school to discuss the 1954 film Ulysses. We are joined by special guest Laura Jenkinson-Brown (aka Jenks of Greek Myth Comix) to help us map out Ulysses' journey home. While our intrepid bard/hero gets waylaid by various side quests (and gorgeous women), we inevitably return to Nolan's Odyssey and how depictions of Odysseus have shifted over time in popular media. But the real question is, when are we getting a slasher horror version?
