About this episode

The episode discusses The Odyssey in preparation for its adaptation, covering the story, characters, and potential changes.

In preparation for the new Christopher Nolan epic, we’re visiting the ORIGINAL epic - The Odyssey. We walk you through the story, the plot beats to expect, what characters to look out for, and give our own thoughts and opinions on what an adaptation of The Odyssey should be. And yes, that runtime is correct - this is like our own epic of an episode. Content Warning: This episode contains conversations about or mentions of death, abandonment, warfare, sexual assault, grief, misogyny, bullying, racism, mutilation, adultery, slavery, kidnapping, psychological abuse, warfare, implied PTSD, ableism, and death of a pet.
