About this episode

Auron MacIntyre discusses with James Keena the woke elements in Christopher Nolan's adaptation of 'The Odyssey'.

Christopher Nolan is one of Hollywood's last great filmmakers. Many of his previous movies have even been considered conservative or reactionary for the different themes he has addressed. But Nolan's new version of "The Odyssey" looks to be filled with woke tropes and modern rewriting. Author James Keena joins me to discuss why everyone in Hollywood is so desperate to change the source material they are using to tempt audiences into the theater.
