Joel@sentantiq.bsky.social · 4d agoSo, you've heard 1, 2, or 30 podcasts about the Odyssey But you haven't heard @movieswedig.bsky.social and their Odyssey-Fighters @apistone.bsky.social @joegoodkin.bsky.social with @voguearchaeology.bsky.social haeology.bsky.social @ecfleming.bsky.social and me! open.spotify.com/episode/0jiv...
I’ve got a new album out today, a re-recording and updating of my Odyssey folk opera. Really fun to put it out into the excitement about the movie. Give a listen here and share if you see fit… ffm.to/theodysseysong
This is good. Been thinking about the recovery language that Calypso uses in the movie when Odysseus leaves… and very curious to hear how combat veterans receive Nolan’s framing.

Fantastic article. I literally had an argument with a friend recently, who never read the story. I mentioned that what he should truly be upset about is the historically inaccurate cyclops. Haha. I for one am excited. Nolan hasn't let me down yet.
Joe Goodkin@joegoodkin.bsky.social · 2mo agoSo pleased to have an essay in the Chicago Sun Times today on the issues around telling a “true” story in the Odyssey
