Speaker 1: Well, our next topic takes us over to Christopher Nolan.
Speaker 2: Oh, so boy, yeah, we like him.
Speaker 1: We like him.
Speaker 3: Say that again, you can say that again.
Speaker 1: So Nolan has a new movie in the works. You know.
This is a good ship, good Ship, and it's basically
bringing in Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Robert Pattison, Zendaya and Hathaway,
Lupita nu Wongo like it's it's a whole rostericy god damn,
it's a chill. It's it's crazy. It's absolutely crazy, and
it's a It's scheduled for release twenty twenty six July.
Speaker 2: Until you do it, Matt Reeves, you see that.
Speaker 4: Every two years, I want to see a movie on
my doorstep.
Speaker 2: Do it?
Speaker 4: Unless he has family issues right now, which if that's
the case, I recind my statement.
Speaker 1: Uh And so it's The movie is an adaptation of
Homer's Odyssey and will be filmed around the world using
a new IMAX technology. Uh And for those who are unsure.
Odyssey is a major ancient Greek epic that attributes to Homer.
It is one of the oldest works of literature. H
follows the Greek hero Odyssus, King of the Ataca and
his journey home after the Trojan War.
Speaker 2: Hell, yeah, I love your I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't even know if there's a right or wrong
way to say those names, but you just said it
a completely different way.
Speaker 2: None of those words I've ever heard.
Speaker 3: In my life. Odysseus is what I've been Odysseus is
what I've been told. He was named in the How
did you say it? The ITHA? I thought it was
the I. I thought it was spelt completely different.
Speaker 2: I T H A c A.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2: It was different.
Speaker 3: Anyways, I don't know much about the Odyssey, but I
sure know much about Christopher Nolan because we did an
entire retro about his films, and if you check that out,
I fucking love this guy. I love all the films
that that he's done. You know, some more than others,
for sure, But I could easily say there's a handful,
Like if I had to make a top ten my
favorite movies of all time, I think at least two
or three top ten audible mention, I'll say that gotta
start somewhere. But no, I just everything you said about
this is just so juicy and exciting the most enticing
thing I think is just the date, knowing that that
this is going to be coming out. I feel like
Christopher Nolan and his dates, that's something that like you
can kind of count on. And I feel like with
dates he's he's usually really adamant on, like like sticking
to it, and yeah, he doesn't really care what's coming
out around that time because that's his date. And I'm
you know, I think Patroon Clay asked, you know what
movie we might be thinking would pair up with him
on that date. But he's gonna be standing strong with
his power cast. I love all the names that you
listened on here and just picturing those characters in a
world like this of like just ancient Greeks, Like gosh,
I'm just I'm juiced up right now. I'm really looking
forward to this. I was, I was.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I didn't have a lot of hype for like Oppenheimer,
just other than it's Christian Christopher Nolan, Christian Christian Nolan,
Christopher Nolan, and just like again like the cast and
like okay, yeah, this is gonna be like a drama
around blah blah blah. Like I didn't I maybe I
didn't get as much pizzazz as I wanted out of
that film, even though it's really well made, and I'm
expecting this one to be extremely well made and just
look gorgeous, you know, like you just James Cameron is
the three D guy. I feel like Christopher Nolan just
like the Imax guy. He just he just makes these
these massive, big, big theater movies. And I'm so jealous of,
you know, dealing your closer to Imax than we are
over here and uh in the interior, so I love
to live Oh wow.
Speaker 2: Okay there not even taking advantage of it.
Speaker 3: I I've only seen like science science y type IMAX
movies really like penguins and like whales and stuff like
that you'd get at Science World.
Speaker 2: I've never been privileged.
Speaker 3: To seeing a nice, h a nice, big, big movie yet.
Speaker 2: But like the Apes.
Speaker 3: Apes, right, I did in Imax.
Speaker 1: No, that was mad Max Furio, And then I did
that was fucking sweet. And then I did Drastic World
Dominion in Imax as well.
Speaker 3: Nice, lesser but still true, sure was still good. So
I feel like, yeah, you know, we'll we'll see, we'll see.
Schedule wise, I'm not gonna promise I'm gonna pick the
trip down to Vancouver, you know, to watch this in imax.
Speaker 2: But I would sure love to be.
Speaker 3: Able to see one of these films in imax because
they're just such epic adventures. And whether I like the
story or not, I feel like it's just such a
magical time watching his movies. And yeah, no I'm I'm
thumbs up for me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I I'll start with my it's not even negative,
but like slight detractors like the premise of this, the story.
I mean, I don't really know anything about it, so
maybe it's a fantastic story, but it's not something I'm
immediately loving. It's not really my cup of tea, I guess,
And I also think I was. We've talked about this
a lot with Nolan how he kind of like he
kind of has his little phases or he'll go back
and forth. So he had like Oppenheim or the historical one,
and then he like Tenant, the weird sci fi spy
sort of movie. Then we had like Dunkirk before that, right,
so going back to like a historical thing. Then before
that we had Intertellar with sci fi, and then even
before that, like you know, he was obviously working on
the Dark Knight trilogy, but even in between those movies
he would splice it up, so they had like, you know,
Batman begins, but then Prestige Dark Knight, and then Inception
and then Dark Knight Rises. So I kind of like
that he goes back and forth, and I feel like
a little bit Oppenheimer and Odyssey is like, I don't know,
we're dipping back into history stuff two times in a row.
Speaker 2: Not the end of the world.
Speaker 4: So I guess I'm just like I was hoping for,
especially after Tenant was a bit of a disappointment for me,
Like I was kind of hoping for another sci fi,
weird spy thing from Nolan, get another shot at it,
because Inception is definitely one of my favorite movies of
all time, but easily my favorite Nolan thing. So anyway,
that's just my minor a little detractor, But otherwise I'm
totally down to Goal and this this odyssey, this journey
with him and see why he wants to do this
and see what it's all about.
Speaker 2: It's funny we were talking about how.
Speaker 4: Like he was like praising Gladiator too, that was like
his favorite movie from last year. It's like I wonder
why he has like a similar setting and all that
sort of thing. He's obviously in that mindset right now.
And then as for this cast, this cast is fantastic
and I always like to see with the director like Nolan,
I love getting some people that he's worked with before
and seeing how he uses that utilizes them differently.
Speaker 2: Then also seeing some new people.
Speaker 4: So you know, Matt Damon, Pattison, and Hathaway have been
in some previous movies of his, and especially with Pattison,
I think I'm excited to see another take on that
just once again because Tenant, I really I need to
rewatch that movie. I do need to watch it again
with a modern eye and see how I feel about it.
But definitely excited to see Pattison again. And then Lupido,
that's fantastic. I'm so excited to see her in there.
How do you guys feel about like Tom Hollan sende
in here? So obviously they're they're a couple. I assume
they still are of course from Spider are they married?
Speaker 2: Well there they're engaged.
Speaker 4: Oh so sorry, they are getting married. Cheers with a
little bureau to that. Cheers with them.
Speaker 3: Still waiting for my Canadian barrows. Come on, bring them
to Canada and I'll do it taste tests.
Speaker 4: But obviously, yeah, they're in the Spider Man stuff together.
I don't know if iel Like I guess, I'm intrigued
to see them in something together that's very different than
that and see what the dynamic is like. And even
I don't maybe they don't even have scenes together. I
think it'd be a missed opportunity for I don't. But
at the same time, I think I might be overthinking
it when I'm watching this historical Greek movie and then
I'm seeing like Peter and.
Speaker 2: MJ together, you know.
Speaker 4: So how do you guys feel about that? Like, do
you think it's gonna take you out of it at all?
Speaker 2: If?
Speaker 4: Because it sounds like from what we've heard, Tom Holland
looks to be the star of this, so I would
imagine if he's a star, then he would interact with
all the characters at some point, including her. So how
do you guys feel about that? There's something to just
slightly off about it.
Speaker 3: For me, yeah, I feel like I feel like I'm
not that worried about it, just because of all the
other pieces like at play here, because there's already like
there's so many big just character like not characters, big
actors in this film, big names. I like, I I
just don't think I'm gonna get that vibe of it
feeling like, you know, like the Far from Home or
just just that era like that Spider Man dynamic in
this world. But who knows, Like I guess it could
go that way. Just I guess I just trust no
one so much. I'm just I just really I'm excited
to especially because like I don't know, I haven't seen
Tom Holland in a lot of different roles other like
other than the Spider Man series. I just haven't seen
a lot of his other films. But for Zandiya, like
she just has such a range. I can just I
feel like she's she's like water. She'll just you know,
go with whatever form Christopher Nolan's asking her to take shape,
Like she just goes. She's just so phenomenal. Yeah, So
I don't know, I just part yeah, no, I'm fully trusting.
Speaker 4: And yeah, I mean I don't especially because they haven't
worked with him before. Like maybe someone like Matt Damon
can skip the line a little bit in terms of
like the casting process like maybe Nolan went straight to
him and say, hey, do you want to be in
this movie? But I feel like for Holland and Zenday,
I imagine they had to audition like anyone else, and
they just probably individually crushed it on their own.
Speaker 2: You know, maybe they even drove there.
Speaker 4: Together to show up to the cast office to do that,
and like, I'm sure they both just crushed it. That's
that's how I imagine it would go. Like, like I said,
when you have worked with someone previously, maybe it's a
bit easier process. Or we know, like Tarantino writes parts
for specific actors knowing he's gonna be able to get them.
I don't know if that was the case for Nolan here,
but yeah, I'm I'm sure that they were just individually.
Speaker 2: The best fit for their role here.
Speaker 4: And that's and I mean, who which name an actor
who does not want to be in the next Nolan movie?
Like we hear all the kind of how many actors
are taking huge pig huts, making like the Hollywood minimum
wage to just like be in any scene, even if
it's like the weirdest scene, because they just want to
work with someone like that. So yeah, it's yeah, I'm really,
I'm not actually worried about it.
Speaker 2: It's just kind of an oddity potentially.
Speaker 1: You know, when I watch Dune, I see I see MJ.
Speaker 2: I don't see uh really in there. Yeah, I just
I to me, I just you see Chawny though, the
character which one's Johnny again? Okay, yeah, I don't see you.
Speaker 4: Don't see her, you just seem okay, you don't even
you don't see you don't even see the character in
the movie. Just just MJ.
Speaker 1: Just MJ. So whenever I see especially it's even worse
with Tom whenever I see him in other movies, I
just see Peter Parker. I don't see anyone.
Speaker 2: Else Spider Man though, just Peter Parker, just Peter Parker.
Speaker 1: They've just really cemented into those roles for me, And
it's kind of like Daisy Ridley, like I I could
see her in something else and I just know you're Ray,
like I can't see you as anything else. Same with
Mark Hamill, like I'm sorry, all I see is loose Skywalker.
It's just it's just one of those roles. It's just like, ah,
so I when I when I see both of them.
Speaker 2: Together here, uh, I think it's cool that.
Speaker 1: You know, you get to work with your significant other
like that. It's awesome, and you know they're both they're
great actors. But yeah, I'm just gonna see I'm just
gonna see Peter Parker and Mary Jane in this movie.
So that's hope, Faith, I'm hoping they.
Speaker 4: Give him like maybe the time when you're able to
make that disconnection. Maybe Nolan will transform you with this.
Maybe maybe what's his name Holland will have like huge
beard or something like that, which I can't even picture that,
but i'd like to see it.
Speaker 2: Zen Dai. I don't know what she'll do, but hm,
she's great.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know get behind that, you know.
I mean, even seeing Tom Holland and Uncharted, he didn't
give me a Nathan Drake vibe, but he definitely he
still felt like Peter Parker.
Speaker 2: Really, I haven't seen that one yet.
Speaker 1: Apparently there's supposed to be a sequel or something, but that's.
Speaker 2: Really the other Day something. I don't think it did well.
Speaker 3: I wanted to so just on the idea of like
what you brought up, Dylan, about the kind of ebb
and flow that Nolan goes through with these like more
historical movies or maybe just a more sci fi fantastical one.
I feel like part of me is unsure on Like
I think this will very much be a realistic, grounded story. However,
at the end of the day, the Odyssey is an epic,
Like it's not it's not something that actually happened, Like
it is a tale. And of course, you know, you
and I just over the holidays we reviewed uh well
not really holidays, but in that month war with the
Row here them, And I feel like that is an
example of like you brought up this example about that story,
it's a telling of an event through some through a narrator, right,
And and if this is I'm not gonna say it's
gonna be narrated by someone of a story, but like,
if this is an epic tale, there could be some
sort of fantasy elements to it. I I don't think
it's gonna be like dragons and like way over the top,
like the main in your face thing.
Speaker 2: But I could very much be a dragon though, I'll
tell you that much.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, sign me up for that. I'm so down.
But like, I just feel like even in something an
interstellar where it is science fied like it's still very
realistic and and I don't even want to say until
it gets to a certain point because it's still just
like a wild idea to be.
Speaker 4: Yeah, then we got a guy in a bookshelf, so like, yeah,
definitely go beyond.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I'm just curious if he brings any of
that into this story, even though I do foresee it
being a very you know, human realistic, realistic tale.
Speaker 2: No, I mean, great point. That just shows how little
I know about this worse.
Speaker 4: Material, Like I don't know anything about it, but like, yeah,
there's very there's a very clear difference between the way
is that like Dunkirk and Oppenheimer are a similar thing, yeah,
versus them being similar to this. So yeah, very very
good point. I think I'm sure I will be pleasantly surprised.
I'm sure as soon as that first trailer drops, which
is yeah something for Oppenheimer. First trailer drop, I was like, okay, yeah,
I know what they're doing here, and then was until
I saw the movie was like, oh, yeah, this is excellent.
But I'm sure with Odyssey that hype train will start
a lot sooner.
Speaker 3: I think, Well, wasn't like the trailer too it was
just like the countdown of the bomb dropping and it
just sos like Killian Murphy, just like sweaty and having
a panic attack, and then like that was the trailer.
It's like, Okay, yeah, this is probably gonna be a depressing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1: Alrighty uh, anything else you guys.
Speaker 2: Want to sneak in there? Regarding Nolan stund Out, No,
