The Odyssey & Summer Movies
Episode 239
Monday, 31 August, 2026
Welcome to another episode of the Holmes Movies Podcast! Summer is slowly coming to a close this year and Anders & Adam Holmes sit down in person to discuss the biggest and most anticipated film of the year and of the summer. It is Sir Christopher Nolan's film The Odyssey, based off and inspired by the story of the same name by Homer. Homer of course wrote The Iliad which also was the basis for the film Troy, from 2004. A film Nolan nearly did make, before he decided to change the superhero genre with the influential and great film: Batman Begins. Like Nolan's previous film Oppenheimer, this is a film with an all star cast that is headlined by Matt Damon as Odysseus. A tremendous motion picture that took its cast and crew all over the world. Along with talking about The Odyssey, the Holmes Movies discuss their favourite summer movies. A few summer related horror movies are mentioned, which belong in the Summer-ween category. We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for more episodes from our Fascism on Film series. Be sure to check out our Monument Valley Film on our YouTube Channel.Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen at work in the horror, car chase thriller Delivery Run, co-written with & directed by Joey Palmroos. The film has been released digitally and also in select cinemas in the US and the UK. In Finland it was released on Apple TV after finishing its limited cinema run and was the Number 1 film for multiple weeks. You can read a review about it here on the Fangoria website. The film is now available to watch in the other Nordic territories like Sweden, Oslo and of course Denmark.
