Nic and Quade talk about the current struggles of movie theaters. How 007 almost sold to a streaming service. About the current patent and copyright laws and how they could be changed to benefit creatives. How filmmaking needs to return to it's roots as a working class artform. The disconnect between the filmmaking industry and the average person and how this disconnect is expressed in films like Star Wars.

We tackle the implications of the grandfather paradox in Nolan's Tenet. How does this effect the cinematic world and what implications does it have for a possible sequel? Does the film give reason to believe that a character could choose to change their actions while inverted? We also explain some more tricky inversion scenes and tackle a couple of possible plot holes while eager for a re-watch to find the truth. Christopher Nolan, director of Inception and Interstellar, has made another mind-bending masterpiece.

Tenet's director, Christopher Nolan, has crafted another mind bending film in the spirit of his previous works: Inception, Prestige, and Interstellar. Our hosts gush about the film and take a first attempt at explaining the ending as well as the mind bending concept.

Quade and Nic give their predictions while driving to the theater - like what trailers they expect to see (Dune, 007, and Batman). Then they give their first reactions while driving back.
