Jon Stewart Has A Theory About The Odyssey Being A ‘Sequel’ To Oppenheimer, And I Think He Makes Great Points

Matt Damon stars as Odysseus in Christopher Nolan's adaptation of the 3000 year old epic poem The Odyssey, Cillian Murphy as the late great Oppenheimer in the 2023 Academy Award winning adaptation.

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey may trade laboratories and nuclear dread for monsters, gods and storm-tossed ships, but Jon Stewart sees a surprising connection between the filmmaker’s latest epic and his Oscar-winning book-to-screen adaptation Oppenheimer. And the link goes beyond both of their titles beginning with an “O.” After hearing the late show host's explanation, I am having trouble looking at Odysseus’ voyage as a simple adventure home, because Stewart makes some great points.
