Sam and Natalia watch and review Christopher Nolan's THE ODYSSEY.
THE ODYSSEY (2026) is a film adaptation of Homer's ancient Greek poem, starring Matt Damon as Odysseus, the King of Ithaca. Sam and Natalia jump ahead in their Christopher Nolan retrospective series to find out if his new film is worth the hype.
Topics of conversation include England in the FIFA World Cup, Odyseusz, iPhone faces, the singular version of Cyclopes, Cyclopiea, that stupid Helen of Troy controversy, translation, OPPENHEIMER, and what Nolan left out of THE ODYSSEY.
