The Odyssey Review (No Spoilers)

This week on FoF we are chatting Movie. Yes THE Movie event of the year (and that's saying something this year) - The Odyssey. We review it in depth and - of course - with NO SPOILERS for those who haven't read the book (like me). My junket interview with Nolan is out on my YouTube (link below), and thank you to everyone who entered the Odyssey 70mm IMAX ticket competition last week! That winner has now been announced on my Instagram Story on Monday 13th. SUBSCRIBE and join the FoF Family! RATE & REVIEW!
