After successfully navigating the chaos of American Airlines, Sandy is finally back in Venice — and there’s plenty to catch up on...

This week, she and Chuck talk about the Kelvin Wave heading toward the Southern California coast and what it could mean for Venice Beach and the Canals.

The duo also look ahead to the 2028 Olympic triathlon - which will race straight through the heart of Venice, before discussing next month's "Venice Afterburn": a Burning Man “pop-up” coming to the Boardwalk.

Don’t Call It A Comeback | Venice Pulse Season 2, Episode 1

They’re back! After a little summer break, Sandy & Chuck return for Season 2 of Venice Pulse. They begin by discussing their trip to New York, and ask which is better: NYC or L.A.? With the World Cup now in the rear view mirror they look forward to the LA Olympics, discuss Harry & Meghan’s impending move and the recent Venice Art Crawl. Chuck’s ongoing battle with Etsy somehow manages to get into the conversation, and they ask why fences seem to be popping up all over the Venice Canals. In other words, Season 2 begins pretty much exactly where season 1 left off: local news, questionable opinions, random diversions and life in and around Venice Beach.

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is one of the biggest films of the year, with sold-out IMAX screenings, 70mm showings, and movie fans calling it one of Nolan's greatest achievements. But does it really live up to the hype?

In this episode of Venice Pulse, Chuck sits down with his son Alexander—a fan of Greek mythology, Homer's The Odyssey, and Jorge Rivera-Herrans' EPIC: The Musical—to discuss Nolan's latest film. Together they compare the film to the original story, discuss how Nolan brought Homer's world to the big screen, explore the differences between the movie and EPIC, and talk about why audiences are packing cinemas across Los Angeles.

Whether you've already seen The Odyssey or you're still deciding whether to experience it in IMAX or 70mm, join the conversation and let us know your own thoughts in the comments.
