Have you seen Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey yet? Yes, there’s an actual film behind the endless discourse and scholarly shit-talking! And it’s really, really good! See it now! Want to see it projected in glorious 70mm? See it at Milwaukee’s historic Oriental Theatre! (And no, 70mm is not IMAX, but it’s film and it’s crystal clear and it’s gorgeous.)
Speaking of seeing The Odyssey at the Oriental, that’s exactly what I (Matt) did this past weekend. And afterwards, I found myself embarking on my own odyssey that strangely kinda-sorta corresponded to the one ol’ Odysseus embarks on in the film/book/poem/myth. The Underworld of Milwaukee’s “Underground City,” Landmark Lanes! The siren song of Lilliput Records! A gyro at Apollo Cafe! Fun! (Again, “kinda-sorta.”)
I talked about my Milwaukee odyssey for my latest appearance on TMJ4 afternoon show What’s Brewing Wisconsin. Watch it below:
