Christopher Nolan takes on Homer, the Trojan War, Greek gods, monsters, one ridiculously stacked cast — and nearly three hours of movie.

And somehow, he pulls it off.

In this spoiler-free review of The Odyssey, AJ talks about the sheer scale of Nolan’s adaptation, the spectacular Trojan Horse sequence, the incredible sound and visuals, and a cast that includes Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Elliot Page, John Leguizamo — and what feels like half of Hollywood.

But underneath all that spectacle is something surprisingly human: a man trying to get home, and the cost of the years, violence and distance separating him from the people waiting there.

AJ also talks about Matt Damon’s standout performance, why Elliot Page makes such an impression with limited screen time, and why The Odyssey may already have entered the Oscar conversation.

Is it long? Oh, fuck yes.

Is it worth seeing on the biggest, loudest screen you can find?

AJ gives a fork.
