About this episode

The episode discusses Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, exploring its connection to modern audiences and the use of practical effects.

"Why cover the same ground again? It goes against my grain to repeat a tale told once, and told so clearly." Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has finally arrived but it may not be the hero's journey you were expecting. Join us as we wax poetic on this epic in the grand oral traditions of old. Can this classic story connect with a modern audience? Is Nolan's preference for practical effects his greatest strength or an achilles heel? Are the American accents a bold choice or just plain bad? Follow Zeus' law and pull up a chair while we regale you with the latest episode of Film Junk.
