The Bill Simmons Podcast · Messi Takes England Out of the World Cup, Plus Preparing for Christopher Nolan’s 'The Odyssey' With Ian Wright, Anthony Dabbundo, and Sean Fennessey · 16 Jul 2026 podcast

sort of arrogant figure that that Odysseus is and and sort of like what a flawed character he is and you know rereading it and over the last few months like I've come away feeling like he's kind of the original flawed protagonist yeah and the original Draper yeah honestly he is like he's a he's a bad TV character um voice-verified

And but Nolan cast Matt Damon, who's kind of fundamentally decent and one of the easiest people to root for in all of movies. voice-verified

And he's played shitheels. voice-verified

He memorably played a shitheel in Interstellar. voice-verified

But you're just kind of with Matt Damon. voice-verified

It's part of what makes him a good star is you're rooting for him. voice-verified

And so like even that kind of complicates the character of the movie where it feels like a more traditional adventure hero story. voice-verified

But he's doing all this avant-garde work around it. voice-verified

So you're like, you feel safe even when he's taking chances. voice-verified

And the same is true of Oppenheimer. voice-verified

Like the first 20 minutes of Oppenheimer, I remember seeing it with you and Andy. voice-verified

And in the first 20 minutes, I was like, oh, this is something different and special. voice-verified

Like, this is very special. voice-verified

Because he's just dispensing with the most boring part of the movie where you have to, like, show him as a child and show a critical incident that informed why this man became a scientist. voice-verified

Like, he just speed ran the first 25 years of Oppenheimer's life with this dramatic score and this flash-cutting style that he was doing. voice-verified

And he was just like, that stuff's boring. voice-verified

I'm going to make it as exciting as I can and then we're going to go to the next thing. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

And the same thing is happening in the Odyssey. voice-verified

You know, you do get this kind of extended prologue where you're, you know, back on, back in Homer's palace. voice-verified
