‘The Odyssey,’ 70mm IMAX, and the Best Movie Theaters in Las Vegas

Christopher Nolan shot "The Odyssey" entirely on IMAX cameras, and that's a big part of why cinephiles are scrambling to find one of the only 25 true 70mm IMAX screens in the entire country to see it on. Las Vegas has one of them at Brenden Theatres at the Palms. So what makes 70mm IMAX such a big deal? Where are the best places to catch a movie in Las Vegas, and in an era of streaming, why should we still bother going to the theater at all? Host Jesse Merrick gets into it with film podcaster David Rosen and filmmaker Jason Harris. We’re doing our annual survey to learn more about our listeners.
