After 4 long months, Christopher Nolan's time bending new film arrives in...er....on our TVs....or iPhones...or laptops....  It's not IMAX, but we finally saw Tenet, the film arguably most contested and discussed during this pandemic.  Does it live up to your anticipation?  Where does it fall in our Nolan filmography rankings?

Then, we discuss Tom Cruise's leaked, COVID-related outburst on the set of Mission Impossible 7 with special insight from Jeremy, who has been entrenched in a new movie and strict COVID production protocols.  

This week on the podcast we're back on the topic of HBO Max, but this time, for an original film...or...errr....a MAX original!  Steven Soderbergh returns to the Warner Brothers family with Let Them All Talk starring Meryl Streep.  There dissension among the ranks, folks and that always makes for great pod!  

And we continue our discussion over the streaming wars with some insight from a listener and the ongoing controversy surrounding Warner Media's plan to release their 2021 films on both HBO Max and theaters. 

It's finally here!  We've waited 6 long years for a David Fincher film and Mank arrives just in time!  About the writing of Citizen Kane but so much more, Mank is a deep dive into unfamiliar territory for one of this podcast's favorite directors.  But has he succeeded?  Is Mask worth the wait?

Then we discuss the bold move by Warner Media to release all their 2021 theatrical films simultaneously on HBO Max.
