Christopher Nolan: Then & Now (aka Mementoheimer)


Listen Later

In this episode, Bill George of the Should I Go See It? podcast stops by with a very special homework assignment: he asks Randy and Kris to examine the trajectory of director Christopher Nolan’s career by examining one of his earliest films, Memento (2000), alongside his most recent Academy Award darling: Oppenheimer (2023). It’s a task fit for a trio of cinephiles, and a task deserving of its very own nickname. Welcome to MEMENTOHEIMER!

The panelists each share their personal journeys with Nolan films, acknowledge critiques of Nolan’s body of work and then dig into what makes his movies tick. Along the way, they identify early flashes of brilliance that survived all the way to the Academy Award stage and new tools that Nolan picked up along the way. Please join us for this loving and thoughtful walk down memory lane, then light up our comments with thoughts on YOUR favorite Nolan film!
