Full spoiler review of The Odyssey (2026). Dylan, Scott, and Russell get hilariously nerdy dissecting Christopher Nolan's IMAX epic, from the 91-day shoot to their one real disagreement of the episode.
All three hosts land firmly in "one of the best movies of the year" territory, with Russell going as far as calling Nolan one of the greatest directors in film history by the end of the conversation. They break down whether shooting on real IMAX 70mm film actually matters, dig into the $250 million production (six countries, a full-scale Troy set, a score built with ancient instruments instead of an orchestra), and trace The Odyssey's surprising connection back to 2004's Troy and the Coen Brothers' O Brother, Where Art Thou?
The one place they don't fully agree: Circe's shapeshifting scene, which splits the room between "one of my favorite scenes ever" and "kind of cheesy up close." They also riff on Robert Pattinson and Tom Holland's performances, and drop a genuinely wild piece of trivia about Nolan almost directing Troy before Warner Bros. handed him Batman instead.
