Interstellar (Nol-vember)


Listen Later

Nol-vember is warping into its final dimension this week on @wedrinkandwewatchthings as we conclude our month with the visually massive and deeply emotional space odyssey, "Interstellar (2014)." This film tackles nothing less than the future of humanity, the nature of time, and the gravitational pull of love itself. Grab your drink, get comfortable, and prepare for a journey that will stretch your mind as much as your heart.

This week, we explore the sheer ambition of Nolan's vision, from the stunning realism of the black hole, Gargantua, to the dizzying effects of time dilation that cost Cooper years for mere minutes spent on an alien world. We talk through the incredible spectacle of the film, the theoretical science (and where it gets a little hazy), and the overwhelming emotional core: the enduring bond between Cooper and his daughter, Murph. We consider the controversial theory that love is a quantifiable force, the burden of Plan B, and the mind-bending reality of the Tesseract.

If you love hard science fiction, grand cinematic spectacle, or just want to immerse yourself in a movie that blends existential dread with boundless hope, this is the perfect final frontier for Nol-vember. We're blending our awe for the film's scale with our usual casual conversation, making this an appropriately epic conclusion to our month dedicated to Christopher Nolan.
