THE ODYSSEY Movie Review + COUTURE and MOANA | SEATED Podcast | Ep. 42

WATCH ON YOUTUBE

Hosts Tre'vell Anderson and Ray Love Jr. are securing their IMAX tickets and bracing for a cinematic marathon for their review of Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated, star-studded spectacle, THE ODYSSEY.

Ray and Tre'vell get into the nitty-gritty of the film's execution, unpacking how this revisionist "Bro-dyssey" plays through the Black gaze and whether the three-hour timeline-hopping journey actually gives what it's supposed to give or just leaves us dizzy. Tune in for their hella honest verdict: is this massive blockbuster event a "Seated," "Stream It," or a "Skip It?"

Plus, the hosts play a special "Canon Cousin" edition of the Black Cinema Games, highlighting iconic films that share DNA with The Odyssey where Black leads absolutely master the art of the epic homecoming. They wrap up the main show with Good Vibes Only, sharing what's bringing them joy this week.

But wait, don't leave the theater just yet! Ray and Tre'vell keep the mics hot to reopen The Listener Lounge for a special post-show bonus, reading a late submission from Instigator Jash Jay, who drops in on CP time to share his absolute favorite movies of the year so far.
