The Odyssey Sails Strong on the Cinephile Hissy Fit

Matt Damon (frame left, with bow) is Odysseus in THE ODYSSEY, written, produced, and directed by Christopher Nolan.

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has set modern and ancient worlds on fire. Everyone needs to see it and should, as the current frontrunner for awards above and below the line. Naturally, like any good film afficionado or casual fan, you can’t walk out of The Odyssey without talking about it. Leave it to the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast to, as usual, record theirs, but not without the boost of a guest.

For their 241st and 242nd episodes, two warrior film critics, two bow-stringing dads, and two myth-teaching school teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, present two episodes dividing a lengthy discussion on Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. For this meaty and manly deconstruction, the pod welcomed back frequent and favored guest, Cati Glidewell of The Blonde in Front. This talk really covers the wide gamut between the internal impact and external stresses of the movie event, branching through and laying bare the casting, politics, and controversies that have tried to swallow this movie like a whirlpool. Celebrate the mutual love and respect that fun movies encapsulate. Enjoy our podcast!
