The Odyssey (2026) Movie Review — Christopher Nolan's IMAX Epic

Josh, Garrett, and David close out Mythology Month with Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey — five stars across the board, a case for practical effects over CGI, and a theory about the Trojan horse that reframes the whole movie.

In this episode:

• Why The Odyssey landed five stars from all three hosts
• How Nolan shot giants, a Cyclops, and a full ship's crew almost entirely practically
• Matt Damon's months of real archery training — no CGI arrows
• Anne Hathaway's "I want Odysseus" scene, and the case for more Penelope
• David's theory on what the Trojan horse really represents in this version
• The Letterboxd guessing game (David wins with a direct hit at 4.4)
• Black Panther 3 and Ryan Gosling's Ghost Rider news, straight from Comic-Con
