Dunkirk

This week, as Christopher Nolan wades back into the calamitously tense territory of the war-time historical drama with Oppenheimer, which opens in theatres opposite Barbie today, we're flexing our eye-acting skills and setting sail for France on a one-way trip to cross off the only Nolan movie neither Justin nor Hayley have ever seen before: 2017's Dunkirk, written and directed by Christopher Nolan, starring Fionn Whitehead, Tom Glynn-Carney, Mark Rylance, Barry Keoghan, Cillian Murphy, Harry Styles, Jack Lowden, Kenneth Branagh and Tom Hardy. It's an incredible feat of filmmaking on the kind of scale that studios seem to be fighting to take away from us, which makes it the perfect topic of discussion on the day SAG-AFTRA have joined their brothers and sisters in the WGA on the picket lines. If you'd like to watch Dunkirk before listening to our conversation, it does not appear to be streaming in Canada presently but can be rented on YouTube. We'll be back next week to close out July with another Fun Friday, as we induct Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning: Part One into the pod-canon. M:I-DR:P1 is currently screening in theaters, so we'll see you at the movies!
