## Resource

This week we are joined by Mike from the MDX Podcast to discuss the greatest adaptation of the Odyssey ever put to film. Not that bloated 7MM IMAX ego stroking project of Christopher Nolan of course, but the Coen Brothers' 2000 film, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?". We discuss why this is a truer and closer adaptation of the epic poem, the difference between fantasy and myth, what it means to be a dapper Dan man, and the politics of depression era US.
