The Odyssey | Christian Movie Review (Ep 433)

from Popcorn Theology · host Popcorn Theology

Is Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey great and captures the themes of Homer's epic or does he update it too much for modern sensibilities? Or does it land somewhere in the middle? Eric is joined by Dr. Paul Marchbanks @diginthedirt, and Bridget to discuss the deep and lasting themes of The Odyssey and Odysseus' journey home.  Chapters: 0:24 - Welcome & Summary 7:18 - Popcorn Ratings 14:56 - Theology Ratings 20:19 - Subscribe, Share, Support 21:04 - Ads 23:06 - SPOILER WARNING 23:15 - Popcorn Thoughts 33:29 - Casting Controversies 41:28 - Black Helen of Troy? 53:56 - Bridget's Themes Rundown 1:09:41 - Releasing Control 1:20:10 - Zeus' Law Vs Christian Hospitality 1:30:27 - Lightning Round 1:37:56 - Until Next Time… Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE and click the notification bell.
