Kelsi and Trey explore Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, a gigantic mythic spectacle they found emotionally flat, strangely edited, and far less interesting than the discourse surrounding it. They discuss Nolan’s obsession with tortured great men whose guilt becomes part of their legend, the disconnect between Odysseus’s voyage and the political drama in Ithaca, the movie’s incredible practical filmmaking, and its frustratingly thin character work. Plus, they discuss why criticizing a Christopher Nolan movie has somehow become an online political purity test.
