Oscar Wild

In a time of apparent movie magic, Christopher Nolan has released his latest critical and box office sensation, The Odyssey. Nick and Sophia do a deep dive into Nolan's new adaptation of Homer's epic poem, detailing their favorite moments from the film, like Odysseus' journey to Hades, battle against the Cyclops, and run-in with Circe. They rave about Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway's performances as Odysseus and Penelope, discuss their own familiarity with the story, and share what makes Nolan's adaptation unique. It's safe to say they'll be talking about the film for the entirety of awards season. Finally, as is tradition with big summer blockbusters, Nick and Sophia play a round of Smash or Pass with characters from the film.

Sophia and Nick will definitely be reviewing those upcoming films in the following months, but on this episode, they’re taking it back to all of the new films they haven’t yet discussed this year. Blame a long Oscar season or a rich Cannes festival, but they’re back with an OW favorite, Nom or Bomb, to recap 30 films that have captured audiences so far in 2026. Which movies will they continue to talk about later this year and into 2027? Listen to find out!
