Friend of the show Tom Holland joins Tom Holland to discuss Christopher Nolan’s new adaptation of *The Odyssey*. They talk about condensing Homer’s sprawling poem into a single film, Tom’s approach to playing Telemachus, working with IMAX cameras, and the story’s blurred line between history, myth and magic. The conversation also covers Anne Hathaway’s Penelope, Matt Damon’s Odysseus, the film’s treatment of the gods and the Sea Peoples, and the influence Homer continues to have on modern storytelling.
