Christopher Nolan tackling Homer’s The Odyssey?! 🌊👁️ In this episode of Dragons and Spaceships, we break down the massive news shaking the cinematic world: Nolan is officially directing a giant, mythic, star-studded IMAX adaptation of The Odyssey arriving on July 17th! We discuss whether he’ll lean into the ancient, strange mythology of Cyclopes and sirens, or give it that grounded, mind-bending psychological Nolan twist.
Then, we transition from ancient epics to a very modern horror story with our review of Yesteryear. This brilliant, unsettling satire takes a sharp knife to influencer culture, media image, and audience hunger. We explore how a woman turns her marriage, her children, her faith, and her trauma into a beautifully curated brand—until the product becomes real enough to destroy everyone trapped inside it.
