How can a movie be so rich and complex and powerful (and have one of the best endings ever) and yet still be so underrated? Well join us as we take on Jake's favorite all time movie - and only our second ever Christopher Nolan deep dive after "Tenet." This movie has tons of layers, between magic and real life history, and it's also Nolan's most meta-movie about filmmaking so we have a ton to get into.
We press play on the movie 15-seconds in! We talk about:

• The connections to Memento
• Audience confusion between three different magician movies in 2006
• The parallels between this magician rivalry and the greatest scientific rivalry in history
• Why the drowning scene feels so helpless and different from every other 
• How unique yet stacked the cast is, and what they all bring to their roles
• How every visual shot and line of dialog is important, there's no wasted space
• The complex timelines and storytelling devices used
• Just how many hints there are to the ending, but, even after you've seen it, how it just gets better
• How it's Nolan's most minimal and kind of forgettable score
• The meta-nature of Nolan illustrating directors as magicians, and we point out all the slight-of-hand the movie does

and much, much more!
