The Odyssey & Spider-Man: Brand New Day Review | Spoiler-Free | Film Focus #220
In episode 220 of Film Focus, I review Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, two of the year's biggest films. After seeing both movies twice, I'm sharing my spoiler-free thoughts on whether they're worth watching on the big screen.
The Odyssey shows Christopher Nolan's bold adaptation of the Greek epic, while Spider-Man: Brand New Day promises a fresh, dramatic and action-packed chapter for Peter Parker following the events of the previous film. With huge expectations surrounding both releases, do they deliver or fall short?
Tune in for my spoiler-free review of The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day to find out.

The Mandalorian and Grogu Review
In episode 219 of Film Focus, I review The Mandalorian and Grogu, the next adventure from the Disney+ TV show and the first Star Wars film since 2019.
Prior ot this film's release there was a lot of skepticism and concern. Having Star Wars return to the big screen with a sequel to a TV that not everyone has watched? Interesting. Then there was the marketing that didn't do much to sway people who weren't already fans and the fans that remained fluctuated between hype and indifference.
So, is this the Star Wars film to unite everyone in the cinema or does it miss the mark? Well, tune in for this spoiler-free review to find out.

Super Mario Galaxy Movie Review
In episode 218 of Film Focus, I review The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the sequel to the box office hit of 2023.
Going into this, I was cautiously optimistic. While the first film had incredible animation, a fabulous score, and plenty of varied game references, it fell short in terms of story and character development. With this sequel being based on one of my favourite games, Super Mario Galaxy, I was hoping we’d get a little more substance and epic adventures.
So, does this Mario improve on its predecessor or repeat the same mistakes? Well, tune in for the spoiler-review to find out.
