Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey & The Compromise of Mixing Substance with Spectacle #189

Hello Hello Hello!QID's manel (crew?) made up of Dhruv, Amartya, Varun, Cris, Arjun, and Hemant embark on an odyssey through Christopher Nolan's filmography, docking on the shores of his latest release: "The Odyssey". The adaptation question is tackled, with notes on translations, interpretations, and their relationship with the very act of storytelling. A diverse set of opinions from disappointment to cautious optimism to reverence are shared, mapping the ups and downs of Nolan's auteurist blockbuster filmmaking. His relationship with writing women, the eroticism (or lack thereof) in his work, and his (over?)use of music are also delved into. This spoiler-filled discussion features plenty of "hot takes", references to Dhoom 3, and generally mandated chaos. P.S. Happy Birthday, Dhruv!SPOILERS FOR "THE ODYSSEY".TIME CODESIntro - [00:00 - 08:45]The Nolan Tier List - [08:45 - 54:03] Contextualising Homer's Odyssey - [54:03 - 01:10:39] "The Odyssey" - [01:10:39 - 02:10:31]Outro - [02:10:39 - 02:23:18]Do hit 'Follow' on Spotify if you haven't already to help the podcast reach more people!Follow our Instagram page: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/queenisdead.filmpodcast.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can follow us on Letterboxd at -CRIS: https://letterboxd.com/crislim/.VARUN: https://letterboxd.com/varunoakbhakay/.AMARTYA: https://letterboxd.com/amartya/.ARJUN: https://letterboxd.com/arjun_skumar1/.HEMANT: ⁠⁠https://letterboxd.com/ganti117/⁠.DHRUV: ⁠⁠⁠https://letterboxd.com/aterminalcinema/⁠⁠.
