Punching Up-Episode 33-The Odyssey

In case you haven’t noticed there is an obscure arthouse film on general release called The Odyssey that needs a bit of an extra push from the Punching Up Team.
So, Damian and Adam have graciously decided to give The Odyssey’s under resourced marketing team an assist by talking about it on their podcast.

Up for discussion are the place of fate and the will of the gods over free will and moral culpability in the Hellenistic world as interpreted by Christopher Nolan, the cinematic representation of martial chaos, Nolan’s grotesque Goyaesque creature design, and the extent to which Nolan navigates the contentious sexual politics of Homer’s original text vs the more progressive post-feminist demands of a 21st Century audience.

But by far the most important question under discussion is, which is better, The Odyssey or Jason and the Argonauts (or Conan the Barbarian)? The answer should be obvious. I live, I love , I slay, I am content.
