Auteur Detour Ian Hinkley, Travis White, Chris Bolaza

Surprise! we are popping in with a special episode to recap some of our favorite movies of the year and to talk about changes in the movie landscape. some things for better, some things for worse. It was a big year for movies. some of our favorite directors had some huge swings. we get into it.

the film friends are back with a brand new episode to continue our dive into the mind of Christopher Nolan

is this a masterpiece? Probably! it's incredible. and we talk all about it. thanks everyone for joining on this journey, and enjoy the great conversation

We've come to the end of our auteur detour and we've learned a lot along the way. but before we get into that there is an incredibly fun talk about a truly divisive installment into Christopher Nolan's filmography. we try to figure out why his themes fall flat in Tenet where they've worked so well in other places. also...Chris loves this movie! and he talks about why the puzzle of it is a complete wonder of a engineering that you can sit and ruminate on for hours.

then we talk about where Christopher Nolan is in his career and what he's meant to cinema in these last two decades. its a great talk.

we are wrapping up the podcast but stay subscribed because we WILL be popping in to do special episodes in the near future.

thanks for taking the journey with us film friends! the real detour was the friends we made along the waaaaayyyyyyyyy....

Dunkirk is Christopher Nolan's unique entry into the war film genre. it's also a unique entry into the "Nolan" genre as it has zero exposition, a short running time, and an optimistic finale.
we talk about the problematic politics, the lack of females and diversity, and about what works.
give it a listen!

Chris Nolan's "fuck ya, science!" sci-fi movie is discussed in depth; touching on some constant Nolan themes, some incredible performances, and why each of us are able to overlook clunky dialogue in one movie but not in another.

The final film in Christopher Nolan's "dark knight" trilogy offers a lot of insight into where Nolan has arrived as a filmmaker.

Ian, Travis, and Chris discuss all the things that miraculously work in spite of the films flawed politics and bewildering story. on the whole, all of the hosts love it and (despite where you may land on the Robin) debate; you probably will too! give it a listen!
