The Cinematic Odyssey

On the 35th episode of The Cinematic Odyssey, Max and Tristen discuss one of cinema's most respected, storied, and greatest filmmakers, Hayao Miyazaki. We talk in depth of his 1997 masterwork Princess Mononoke where we see Miyazaki unveil the futile violence of human conflict and the abusive relationship that man has with nature. Princess Mononoke finds Miyazaki filled with a burning passion out to showcase the destructive nonchalance of human beings towards earth and themselves.

What is The Cinematic Odyssey?

On The Cinematic Odyssey podcast, your hosts and amateur film lovers Max Clark and Tristen Rodriguez take their film exploration beyond the blockbusters and through the art house sphere. We typically discuss the impact the film has had on us and the film world, memorable shots and the meaning behind certain narrative choices, and the design of the work from camera angles to costuming. With our own signature brand of humor and curiosity, follow our journeys and maybe take some recommendations home as we try to expand the mainstream recognition of great film.
