today marks a whopper of an anniversary as we released the very first episode of Retronauts on October 4, 2006. Twenty years of podcasts! Thank you for listening for two entire decades. What's your favorite episode or Retronauts memory?

THE ODYSSEY is the first feature shot entirely on IMAX cameras, an idea Christopher Nolan had when he was 16. The DP Hoyte van Hoytema proved it possible with a test of a child reading lyrics to David Bowie's Sound & Vision in close-up. Nolan called the results "electrifying".
