Stop! Homer Time: The Odyssey (2026)
About this episode
The episode discusses the film adaptation of Homer's Odyssey by Christopher Nolan and includes a visit to a movie theater.
Sing, O Muse, of an adapted poem - specifically Homer's Odyssey as adapted for the silver screen by filmmaker Christopher Nolan. That's right, we went to an actual movie theater to see the blockbuster film that everyone is talking about (including friend of the show Emily Wilson). And don't worry, our personal Age of Bronze isn't collapsing - we'll be back to books next week. You can read Homer's poem along with us in our very first longread series Stop! Homer Time.
