Homer Bound

Christopher Nolan has another blockbuster hit in theaters — and has ignited the pop culture controversy of the year with his interpretation of The Odyssey. To move beyond the visual spectacle and online hysterics, James, Steve and Charles are joined by Titus Techera of The American Cinema Foundation for a discussion on the Homeric epic, the visionary Nolan, and the thunderous debate over ancient and modern morality. Plus, the trio stay on theme for a chat about the legacies of a few beloved 20th-century filmmakers before moving on to the sci-fi military tech that's become a reality on the battlefield in Eastern Europe. (Follow Titus on X and subscribe to the PoMoCon Substack.) This week’s opening sound: Lupita Nyong’o on playing Helen of Troy (courtesy of Discussing Film) and Victor Davis Hanson on the role on the Daily Signal
