Pt. 2
In the meantime, go ahead and checkout one of the BIGGEST episodes yet where we discuss everything from #worldcup26 to all the latest in movies and streaming... And you then know we can't miss out on all the drama surrounding #supergirl and Christopher Nolan's #theodyssey!
Pt. 1
It truly is the most wonderful time of year folks!
#sdcc2026 is literally less than 24 hours away and #spotofnerd will be there to bring you all the EPIC that is in fact, the greatest comic con of them all!
Part 8;
Which #doomday (after seeing the trailer)... Will also fail.
Not because of the usual suspects... But because these films have no emotion... No direction.
Until they do, the real ones will continue speaking truth.
Part 7;
Says someone who does believe it and thinks that by just saying it, they've won.
Be realistic folks. After the first hour, I thought I'd watched all 3 hours... It's that mind numbingly boring... And there's enough celebrity cameos to fill an Avengers film...
Part 6;
Those screaming to the high heavens about "See!? Hollywood isn't dead and can incorporate equality this, equity that...' Cannot tell you the actual story of The Odyssey and simply put, are lying to you. "It's a 10/10!"
Part 5;
Remember, with all the race swapping and woke nonsense, Nolan was the one who signed off on it. Is it for Oscar considerations? Likely...
But so be it.
All I know is this...
Part 4;
Someone who hates men, what did we think was gonna happen?
But yes, Nolan is the director, so this is on him and is the first strike in what will likely be many for future films of his he directs.
Part 3;
It is WOKE GARBAGE. 3 hours of, 'Men are trash and don't belong anywhere!'
The reality is, shame on Nolan. Obviously his films are not going to flop... But when you make a 3 hour movie based off a modern day feminist's interpretation...
Part 2;
First and foremost, this film is MID at best. It is in fact a complete and utter disaster in terms of flow and dialog. Worst of all, which we all knew was coming... And the responsibility for all the drama...
Just saw The Odyssey. Despite what you may have heard, literally all of the criticisms by conservatives were entirely correct. The movie is just as woke as you fear, if not more so. The DEI casting is atrocious. Completely takes you out of the story right from the beginning. But even worse than that is Nolan’s decision to turn Odysseus into an anachronistic whiney, solemn shell of a man plagued by “trauma” and guilt. It’s impossible to overlook these flaws because the film itself is not terribly entertaining or well constructed. For the most part it is disjointed, dull, self-serious, disenchanted, somehow feeling both verbose and overly rushed at the same time. The dialogue is some of the worst I’ve ever heard in a “critically acclaimed” film. “On the nose” and “clunky” are descriptions that can’t even begin to describe this script. At no point in the story does Nolan ever transport the audience to the ancient world. You never feel like you’re 3,000 years in the past. You feel like you’re watching modern Americans put on a pageant, because you are. Nobody would be calling this thing a masterpiece if it was made by a director not named Christopher Nolan.
