‘The Return’ with Tim Lundy
Episode 38
Two short years ago, another adaptation of “The Odyssey” hit movie theaters. This one cast a ripped Ralph Fiennes and mysterious Juliette Binoche as Odysseus and Penelope, chronicling only the “back on Ithaca” conclusion of the epic poem.
My lifelong friend Tim Lundy is here to review “The Return.” He’s an educator and book editor who came ready to discuss the canonical buffness of Odysseus, why silence is an underrated storytelling quality, and translator Emily Wilson’s beef with Nolan’s “Odyssey,” plus play some demented Wishbone trivia.
