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.
