11: The Bane Episode (with Corey Atad)

Toronto-based writer Corey Atad joins the pod today to talk about Bane, as a jumping off point to discuss Christopher Nolan, who seemed like one of the villains of 2020 as he was determined to release Tenet in theatres during a global pandemic, but who became a Good Guy at the end of the year when he started feuding with his studio Warner Bros. after they used Tenet’s disappointing box office totals to justify moving their entire 2021 release slate to HBOMax to prop up their streaming service at the expense of theatrical releases. Audiences that went to see Tenet in August when it was assumed to be The Movie That Will Save Cinema were bound to be somewhat disappointed, but seen now without that kind of pressure on it, stoned on the couch at home, Corey and I argue that Tenet is actually a Dudes Rock movie and that its incomprehensibility can be best appreciated as a feature, not a bug.
