Christopher Nolan Rankings (Worst to First) + Emmy Nominations Reaction

In this episode of Need Some Introduction, Darren and I react to the newly announced Emmy nominations—shouting out shows like Widow’s Bay, Pluribus, The Pit, Paradise, Slow Horses, and more—before diving into our Christopher Nolan rankings from worst to first. Along the way we discuss World Cup disappointments, Darren’s recent watch of Minions and Monsters, and my spoiler-free recommendation to go into A24’s The Invite cold, praising Olivia Wilde’s direction and the performances from Seth Rogen, Olivia Wilde, Penélope Cruz, and Edward Norton. We also touch on Netflix rewatches (Gone Girl and Nope) and what Nope’s themes suggest on a second viewing. We close by previewing next week’s release of The Odyssey, Darren’s upcoming break, and our plan to start covering Lucky (the Las Vegas-set Anya Taylor-Joy/Timothy Olyphant crime thriller).
