Ahead of the release of Christopher Nolan’s IMAX adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey, we take a look at what this classic story has in common with… Dude, Where’s My Car?

Spoiler: It’s more than you’d ever expect.

We explore how Jesse and Chester follow the same mythic path as Odysseus, why every bizarre encounter functions like an ancient trial, and why the film’s real destination was never just the car.

Do you see any similarities between these two epics, or are we a tad too wired on coffee? Let us know your hot takes!
