The Establishing Shot episodes

  • The Dark Knight (w/ Houston Dragna)
    Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight is arguably his most notable film to date, changing not just superhero movies but the film industry in general. His grounded approach to the comic book world, Ledger’s iconic performance, and escalated scale in both the action and the story add up to a phenomenal film that is his most well known to this day. In our movie news section, we briefly mention Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. Finally, we do a movie draft of movie villains and share our recommendations of the week.

  • Insomnia (w/ Dave Lester)

    In our discussion about Christopher Nolan’s first studio feature, Insomnia, we examine why this feels like his forgotten film. Somehow with Insomnia’s studio budget, star-studded cast, adapted script, and its fairly standard narrative structure, Nolan is still able to display his unique style as he gives us an incredibly interesting character study. Finally, we do a movie draft of foreign language films and their American remakes and share our recommendations of the week.

About The Establishing Shot

From the publisher's feed

Not your typical movie review podcast! The Establishing Shot centers around deep dives into the filmographies of a director, covering their films episode by episode. This is not just about reviewing…
