The ships have arrived at Ithaca! #NolanClub finishes its epic run with our review of Christopher Nolan’s ambitious 2025 film, The Odyssey! We’ll share our theories on how Nolan interprets the magic of the gods, tackle the towering presence of the Cyclops, and discuss why poor Telemachus just can’t seem to catch a break. Despite some questionable casting choices and the challenges posed by the nonlinear source material, Nolan delivers a big, brawny all-star spectacle. So grab your popcorn, settle in, and join us for a journey through one of the most audacious retellings of Homer’s epic poem to hit the big screen.

Before Christopher Nolan’s big summer blockbuster The Odyssey hits theaters, Jason and Ashley are breaking down the epic poem that inspired it all: Homer’s The Odyssey! It's a super bonus episode of Nolan Club, and we’re taking it all the way back to where it began—ancient Greece! Can you name all the monsters Odysseus encounters on his journey home? From the Cyclops to Scylla and Charybdis, we’re charting every twist, turn, and shipwreck as the original epic hero gets really lost in the Mediterranean. This is the Odyssey before movie The Odyssey!

This week, we’re closing out #NolanClub with an Oscar-worthy discussion of Christopher Nolan’s 2023 atomic epic, Oppenheimer! Joined by special guest Jeff May (Jeff Has Cool Friends), Jason and Ashley dive into a two-hour exploration of everything from J. Robert Oppenheimer’s haunting legacy to whether this film deserves to sweep the Academy Awards. Along the way, we debate the entropy of pop culture, unpack Cillian Murphy’s career-defining performance, and marvel at how Nolan turned history into a ticking time bomb of tension. Turn up the volume, brace yourself for detonation, and join us for one of the most explosive and longest episodes yet.

Follow Jeff May everywhere on the internet! He has a lot of cool projects too!
