This Week In Fandom History

July 16, 2010: Inception Incepts Fandom with Arthur/Eames


Listen Later

Dream a little bigger, darlings. This week, Emily and V go deeper and deeper into the mindscape of fandom in 2010, when Inception became an unlikely juggernaut fandom-that-ate-fandom because of two minor (as in tertiary) characters played by internet boyfriends Tom Hardy and Joseph Gordon Levitt. They talk that iconic ending, reasons this weird movie resonated with people so hard, and how fandom itself was in a time of transition in 2010, which left its mental landscape wide open for Christopher Nolan to plant a little thought-seed in there. Were you an Arthur/Eames shipper? How do you think the movie really ended?
