Why The Odyssey is Spectacular Mediocrity

from The Dispatches · host Left Foot Media

Last weekend I went to see Christopher Nolan’s new film The Odyssey. In this episode of The Dispatches I take a deep dive and share my unfiltered thoughts about why I don’t think it is Nolan’s greatest movie; why it is both spectacular and lifeless; and why the Law of Zeus is not a reflection of the Christian vision of reality but Odysseus’ shame about Troy is. ❤️ Become a Substack supporter at: www.thecounterculture.substack.com
