If your impulse is to turn to video games, good idea — but there are still fewer options than you might think. Surprisingly, ancient Greek mythology isn't used as a setting for games as often as you'd expect. There are some all-time classics though, and there's also a good spread of genres represented. Here we've picked out nine great Greek classics, plus a tenth game that has nothing to do with the era but has a strong kinship with Nolan's movie in pure vibes terms. source https://www.polygon.com/video-games-like-the-odyssey-christopher-nolan/

There are plenty of anime protagonists I'd gladly spend an afternoon with, whether it’s Megumi Fushiguro from Jujutsu Kaisen or Kikuri Hiroi from Bocchi the Rock! Yet Yaniko, the titular star of Netflix’s Chainsmoker Cat , isn't one of them. The young “beastfolk” is filthy and reeks of stale cigarettes. Her apartment is a biohazard of overflowing ashtrays, empty bottles, and garbage that seems to have fused with the floor. She's perpetually behind on rent, chronically broke, and so dependent on nicotine that she'll rifle through discarded cigarette butts just to get another drag. source https://www.polygon.com/chainsmoker-cat-addiction-and-poverty/

Chances are you haven’t seen Craig Gillespie’s Supergirl in theaters. The film about Superman’s cousin (Milly Alcock) accompanying a teenager (Eve Ridley) on a quest for vengeance was a box office flop , despite having some bright moments like Alcock’s performance and Jason Momoa playing the bounty hunter Lobo. If you didn’t rush to buy a ticket to see the space Western but still want to be caught up on everything happening in the DC Universe before Man of Tomorrow , you’re probably wondering when you can watch it at home. source https://www.polygon.com/dc-supergirl-movie-streaming-release-date-vod-hbo-max/

Despite the fact that my girlfriend and I both play video games, it’s rare that we sit down to play a proper co-op game together. We just enjoy different speeds of games, so there aren’t a lot of titles that cater to both of our tastes. What I have found throughout our relationship, though, is that our best multiplayer options are games that don’t actually have multiplayer modes at all. source https://www.polygon.com/best-puzzle-games-co-op/

As many horror aficionados will tell you, if you’re looking to watch something truly disgusting, bloody, and gut-churning, all you have to do is pull up director Eli Roth’s filmography. Best known for the sadistic Hostel series, along with genre classics like Cabin Fever and Thanksgiving , Roth has never shied away from whipping up controversy with his theatrical use of gore and body horror. Critics and fans alike often cite his projects as ‘ torture porn ’, most of which prioritize shock value over storytelling. source https://www.polygon.com/the-bloodiest-horror-film-of-2026-ice-cream-man/

Throughout Christopher Nolan ’s epic The Odyssey , there are plenty of threats both seen and unseen. From the towering Cyclops to the wrathful god Poseidon, Odysseus and his soldiers must contend with all of them. Perhaps the most ominous threat though is the “Sea People” or the “People from the Sea,” a force mentioned throughout the film as a danger to Ithaca and its neighbors in the Mediterranean. source https://www.polygon.com/who-are-the-sea-people-in-christopher-nolans-the-odyssey/
