After doing full career retrospectives on Michael Mann and Quentin Tarantino last year, it didn’t take long to figure out whose directorial career the Aftertaste was going to tackle next. An influencer, and someone whose films can be dissected to death, Christopher Nolan is someone who has a firm grasp on what kind of vision he wants to display. From Batman to focused World War II stories, Nolan has certainly run the gamut of what kind of stories he has to tell. But with the only Nolan related things covered in this podcast being his Dark Knight Trilogy, as well as him having a film called Tenet scheduled to come out this summer, we felt it was time to tackle the rest of his career. So join myself, Jack, and Matt as we look at what his career outside of the cowl has consisted of, while leading up to a review of Tenet.

With the tease at the end of Batman Begins causing a stir, fans were wondering with baited breath how Christopher Nolan was going to approach going to Batman's most famous villain, the clown makeup wearing Joker. But announcements that it was the guy named Heath who was in 'that Ten Things I Hate About You movie' and The Patriot had Batman fans wondering just what the hell the Brit was thinking. It wasn't until trailers were released and the buzz started circulating that this was a performance for the ages that fans all over the world were seen wiping egg from their face.

It's hard to believe that The Dark Knight was released twelve years ago. But join myself, Jack, and Matt as we decide whether the film still holds up.
