    The Odyssey (Christopher Nolan's version) - FINALLY! (opens the original)

Begun as a concept album as a senior college thesis project, it has become a viral fandom on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. We watched a version of the album with accompanying fan animatics and have a lot to say about the art of adaptation, musicals, and GenZ. We also talk about some of the most recent Odyssey news drops, including
