About this episode

Jason and Rosie review Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and rank his films.

Jason and Rosie set sail on the Aegean Sea to review Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, They break down why the film hits as both timeless and completely of-the-moment, its full-runtime IMAX presentation with no aspect ratio changes, and the moments of "pure movie magic" that stuck with them. The episode closes with a full top-five ranking of Nolan's filmography — and The Odyssey takes the #1 spot for both hosts, unseating Rosie's longtime favorite (Tenet) and unexpectedly winning over Rosie, a self-described Nolan skeptic.
