About this episode

Jason and Ashley break down Homer's The Odyssey in anticipation of Christopher Nolan's film adaptation.

Before Christopher Nolan’s big summer blockbuster The Odyssey hits theaters, Jason and Ashley are breaking down the epic poem that inspired it all: Homer’s The Odyssey! It's a super bonus episode of Nolan Club, and we’re taking it all the way back to where it began—ancient Greece! Can you name all the monsters Odysseus encounters on his journey home? From the Cyclops to Scylla and Charybdis, we’re charting every twist, turn, and shipwreck as the original epic hero gets really lost in the Mediterranean. This is the Odyssey before movie The Odyssey!
