On this week's episode of Movie Joust!, Atlanta film critics Jason, Jesse, and Josh step into the arena to debate Nolan's massive, $250 million adaptation of Homer's ancient Greek epic. Shot entirely on IMAX 70mm film cameras, this ambitious feature stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, and Tom Holland as Telemachus, alongside a star-studded ensemble including Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, and Lupita Nyong'o.

We break down everything from Nolan's stunning visual set-pieces—including the nightmarish encounter with Polyphemus the Cyclops and Circe's demented magic—to his modern, non-linear exploration of war-induced PTSD and survivor's guilt. Does Matt Damon capture the complicated, wily nature of Odysseus? Does the screenplay's casual dialogue match the grand scale of Hoyte van Hoytema’s breathtaking cinematography? Or does the three-hour runtime struggle to carry the weight of its own ambition?

This week on Movie Joust!, we are squaring off against a wildly diverse trio of new releases.

First up, we set sail into controversial waters to review Disney's brand-new live-action reimagining of Moana. Does Thomas Kail’s beat-by-beat remake capture the magic of the reef, or does Dwayne Johnson's return as Maui feel like an unnecessary corporate cash grab?

Then, we transition from the open ocean to the claustrophobic crucible of Olivia Wilde’s dark comedy, The Invite. We break down the cringe, the marital tension, and the extreme sexual FOMO that erupts when Seth Rogen and Olivia Wilde invite their eccentric upstairs neighbors (played by Edward Norton and Penelope Cruz) over for the dinner party from hell.

Finally, we hit the chaotic streets of Hollywood with David Wain's absurd new comedy, Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass. We track Zoey Deutch’s hilarious, Wizard of Oz-style odyssey to track down Jon Hamm and even the marital scales.

This week, Jason and Josh give their thoughts on 'Supergirl' and whether it signals the end of the superhero movie era. Then, Jesse joins to talk about 'Toy Story 5' and determine if Pixar's flagship series is the most consistently good movie franchise.
