   Episode 170: The Odysseys

   We love it when our interests align with a pop culture moment! We're taking this opportunity to dig deep into The Odyssey - maybe you've heard of it? We touch on Emily Wilson's text and the lingering cultural impact of this millennia-old myth, as well as Nolan's specific take and some other adaptations. Homework for the episode: The Odyssey (Homer, translated by Emily Wilson); The Odyssey (2026, dir. Christopher Nolan); Contempt (1963, dir. Jean-Luc Godard), O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000, dir. the Coen Brothers)

   Episode 169: Process Thrillers

   Why is it SO SATISFYING to watch people be good at research?? Pete and Martha dig deep into the microfiche to find out. Today we're discussing process thrillers: movies that create tension as good as a gun fight through interviews, documents, and research. Homework for the episode: All the President's Men (1976, dir. Alan J. Pakula); Erin Brockovich (2000, dir. Steven Soderbergh); Spotlight (2015, dir. Tom McCarthy)
