Nolan's ODYSSEY Is in Trouble, Dune Was Boring & Why Modern Movies Keep FAILING | 4D Podcast EP 60

Welcome back to the 4D Podcast! After a month off (we're upgrading studios — shoutout to Jacob!!), we're diving headfirst into the biggest controversies in film right now. Christopher Nolan's THE ODYSSEY trailer has the internet in chaos — Zendaya as Athena, Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy, Elliot Page as Achilles, and modern dialogue in ancient Greece. Is this the most anticipated movie of the year or the next big Hollywood disaster? We also break down WHY modern movies keep missing the mark — from postmodernism's takeover of storytelling, to Marxist oppressor/oppressed frameworks ruining adaptations, to the death of well-written villains. Plus: a brutal honest review of Dune (Part One), why Pirates of the Caribbean still holds up, and why First Man is one of the most underrated movies of the last decade. WHAT WE COVER: New trailers: Wildwood, Motor City, Hope, The Backrooms, Toy Story 5, Spider-Man Noir Now in theaters: Mortal Kombat 2, Remarkably Bright Creatures, Michael (the MJ biopic), Devil Wears Prada 2 The Odyssey casting controversy — what's working, what's not Postmodernism, Marxism & why villains are so bad now CGI vs Story: Pirates of the Caribbean vs Dune Bad antagonists: Mickey 17, Star Wars sequels, Shape of Water, Black Panther, Falcon & Winter Soldier Good antagonists: Dirty Harry, Batman Begins, Planet of the Apes, The Rock, Arcane Adaptations done right (LOTR, Wild Robot) vs adaptations done wrong (Rings of Power, Frankenstein) Why First Man is a masterpiece nobody talks about Movie franchise trivia game The Prestige vs The Illusionist, Eternal Sunshine, Blade Runner, Jumanji, The Greatest Showman, Mystery Men, Yellowjackets, MacGyver, Big Bang Theory and more.
