After the success of Interstellar, Christopher Nolan came back to Earth to tell one of the most uniquely structured modern war films starring a wide ensemble of British actors. Tackling the civilian-led evacuation of the British Army at Dunkirk during the early stages of WWII, Nolan looks at three different storylines over different periods of time all cut together to tell the story of those harrowing days. Coming up next, we are finally discussing his Best Picture Winner, Oppenheimer (sorry no Tenet pod)!
It's been a month since our last pod...oops. But we are back with one of the most beloved Christopher Nolan films, Interstellar. Despite being divisive at the time, this film has become one of the most popular of his films, especially among Gen Z. Come back next episode as we discuss Nolan follow up, Dunkirk!
A podcast is the most difficult parasite to get rid of, and we're back with our review of Inception as part of our Christopher Nolan series! His 2010 blockbuster came on the heels of the mega success of The Dark Knight and just before his capper of the trilogy. Come back next episode for Interstellar!
Are you listening closely? Because we're back with our next review in our Christopher Nolan series! Between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, Nolan went back to 1890s England to look at the professional rivalry of two obsessed magicians. This is a personal favorite of ours, and we're very excited to break it down for you. Next up: Inception!
Today we start our Selected Christopher Nolan series attempting to speed-run to The Odyssey as quickly as possible! Nolan's first non-micro budget feature, Memento, kicks us off. One of Conor's favorite movies, we break down the plot, structure, and what it all means. The rest of the series will consist of The Prestige, Inception, Interstellar, Dunkirk, Oppenheimer, and The Odyssey. Very excited to get this one started!
We have made it to Disclosure Day! This marks the end of our Spielberg Through the Decades series with our 2020s pick, the new film in theaters. The film received mixed reviews from audiences, and pretty good notices from critics, but how did we feel it stacks up to Spielberg's filmography? Stay tuned to the end of the show to hear our rankings of all of Spielberg's films that we've seen. Next, we start our journey through the Selected Christopher Nolan Filmography with the film that put him on the map, Memento, then we'll follow that up with The Prestige!
Bonus Episode! The Fabelmans represents a huge revelation point in Steven Spielberg's career as he directly looks at his own childhood. The film is starting to now be held up as an overlooked gem in his filmography, but do we agree? Come back for our 2020s pick for Spielberg Through the Decades as we wrap it up with Disclosure Day!
Been a while since our last episode. Oops. We're back with our 2010s pick in our Spielberg Through the Decades series, Lincoln!

We're back with our 2000s pick in our Spielberg Through the Decades series, A.I. Artificial Intelligence! The project began as a film by Stanley Kubrick that Spielberg took over after Kubrick's death in 1999. Seen as an underrated gem in his filmography by many, the crew takes a look at the film in a modern lens with AI starting to take over every aspect of society. Come back next episode as we tackle the Daniel-Day Lewis lead film Lincoln from 2012!
A long time passed between our '80s selection, E.T., and now our '90s selection, Saving Private Ryan, for our Spielberg Through the Decades series, including Spielberg winning Best Director at the Oscars. The film we're reviewing has become THE World War II movie that people think of in the last almost 30 years since it's release, but does it hold up? Next episode, we'll be covering his next film, from 2001 (and of his most beloved films), A.I. Artificial Intelligence!
