Cup of Tea Critiques Podcast
A podcast brought by the team that brings you cupofteacritiques.com, the site that encourages critical viewing of film so you can decide for yourself if they’re your "cup of tea." Reading the tea leaves of the film industry is challenging. Each week on the podcast, the team peels back the layers on a movie genre or industry trend to offer aspiring filmmakers some clarity and guidance on what is often rough and indecipherable terrain that is the film and television industry. So, grab a deep brew for a deep look and some hilarious moments.

Most cinephiles would agree that The Odyssey was far from a dud. But did the movie live up to the yearlong hype that promised we would be awestruck by the spectacle? Taking a break from our discussions of industry trends and movie genres, we share our thoughts on The Odyssey experience. Join us on this episode of the Cup of Tea Critiques Podcast as we discuss the movie’s strengths, shortcomings, IMAX screen availability, alignment with Homer’s poem, and much, much more.
Send us a comment to let us know your favorite (and least favorite) parts of Christopher Nolan’s film, The Odyssey.
