Silent Spectacular Begins with The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari & An Odyssey through the Odyssey | Ep.06

On this week’s Tonight's Second Feature James & Rhys dive into season 1 with Silent Spectaculars. Up first we silently watch The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari 1920. Considered the first German expressionist film, its striking visual style, and physiological narrative is still felt throughout modern horror. 

Rhys will take us on our first stage of the journey towards the release of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. First we talk the book and learn what the odyssey is.
