44:07Now PlayingChristopher Nolan's The Odyssey has arrived as one of the year's biggest blockbuster release - but instead of universal excitement, the film has ignited a fierce cultural and political debate.
Critics have accused the Homer adaptation of prioritizing modern identity politics over historical authenticity, pointing to its colorblind casting and alleged feminist themes. Some have even labeled it "Snow White on steroids," arguing that Hollywood has once again reshaped a beloved classic to fit a contemporary agenda.
Supporters, however, argue that great storytelling evolves with its audience and that adapting ancient myths for modern viewers is exactly what cinema should do.
The controversy surrounding The Odyssey raises broader questions about historical accuracy, artistic freedom, and whether Hollywood should preserve the past or reinterpret it for the present.
Piers Morgan is joined by two expert panels to debate the controversy from opposing perspectives, beginning with the historical and classical context before examining the wider cultural arguments surrounding one of the year's most anticipated films.
Joining Piers are historian and Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson, essayist and author A.N. Wilson, author and critic Daniel Mendelsohn, BET News host Marc Lamont Hill, YouTuber Gary Buechler (Nerdrotic), and YouTuber Will Jordan (The Critical Drinker).
