The Shot & The Chaser The Shot & The Chaser

Nazis aren’t human beings knowwhatimean? For our final week of seeing Nolan movies at our local Regal, the boys blow out their eardrums with Dunkirk. What better way to chase this down than with our favorite goofball, Ernest P. Worrell, in Ernest in the Army. Joey gets emotional, Nick loves the triumph of the human spirit, and Ernest in the Army was filmed in South Africa? We’re just as shocked as you. The new episode is out now!

Which one of your friends does a good Bane impression? Or are you that friend? On this week’s episode on the Nolan trail, Nick opens the eyes of Matt and Joey to the total trainwreck that is The Dark Knight Rises. To chase this down, the boys endure another movie about heroes trying to go the distance well past their prime with Rocky Balboa aka Rocky 6. Nick is a niche YouTube star, Matt spoils Boy Kills World, and Joey hates Skip Bayless! Prepare for Italians and Tom Hardy monologs, the new episode is out now!

Philip K. Dick, Dostoevsky, Alex Jones. What do all of these things have in common? Apparently, insufferable people dream about them all the time! On this week’s episode in our Nolancentric series, the boys watch Richard Linklater’s college freshmen wet dream, Waking Life. To chase this down, we tackle the normies favorite Nolan film, Inception. Joey reviews Challengers, Nick begins his Bollywood phase, and Matt continues work on his back piece. The new episode is out! Or at least we’re dreaming that it is (boooooooooo).

Imagine, if you will, a world where all you can eat is corn, and your only hope for survival was Matthew McConaughey. Or, just maybe, you’re the size of an ant and you’re being tortured by aliens while psychedelic rock just ominously played in the background for eternity. Like the sound of either or both? Then you’re gonna enjoy the next episode in our Nolantastic (wow) saga! For the shot, the boys went to Regal and saw Interstellar. To chase this down, we watched one of the few animated Criterion movies, Fantastic Planet. The boys saw Civil War, Nick’s got a YouTube series, Joey learns about the Halo campaign, and Matt has a great correlation on his own episode! Check it out!

Good evening, basement dwellers! Welcome to the first multi-episode series in The Shot & The Chaser podcast history: The Nolan Gauntlet (just made that up). To kick it off, we are watching The Dark Knight as our shot, and to chase it down we are breaking back into Terrence Malick’s filmography with Days of Heaven. The boys marathon the extended cuts of The Lord of the Rings, Matt discovers more Nyad drama,  Joey’s love for Malick intensifies, and Nick goes to a bachelor party! Strap in loyal audience, it’s gonna be a loooooooong couple of months in the Nolanverse (literally just came to me).

Quit daydreaming about listening to a myriad of better shows! You’re here and that’s all that matters. On this week’s episode, Joey gets the fellas to watch Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths. To chase this down, we endured the 2013 blockbuster hit, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Nick deletes social media, Matt finishes his Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th binge, and Joey begins his Terrence Malick quest. Sweetheart, please wake up. If you can hear me, follow my voice! The new episode is out now!
