Pulp Kitchen: A Film Podcast

In this spoiler-free review, we're joined by Fred Asquith to give our full take on The Odyssey, how it compares to the rest of his filmography, and why he occupies a unique position in cinema. We discuss the expectations that come with every Nolan release, his unparalleled ability to attract world-class talent, and the enormous audience trust he's built over the years.

Nolan is the biggest director in the world right now. Following a decade of blockbuster hits, the Oscar-winning success of Oppenheimer, and now The Odyssey.

Is it another masterpiece? Join us as we dive in.
