On this episode, Ryan and Todd discuss Christopher Nolan&#39;s recent film. The conversation begins with Emily Wilson&#39;s translation of The Odyssey that Nolan consulted and adapted to the screen. Much of the conversation is focused on teasing out the consequences of the changes Nolan makes to the poem&#39;s narrative. It&#39;s spoiler-town so be wary after about 35 minutes. Apart from experiencing the technical feat of the film, the reason to see it is to see and consider the changes and alterations Nolan makes to the epic, its most famous sequences, and well-known characters.

That was totally an error. Not as much of an error as saying Ayn Rand&#39;s sales figures were equal to Tolkien&#39;s in the 20th century but an error still.
