Episode 19: Christopher Nolan

Our guest film critic, Erik Childress of Efilmcritic.com is a huge fan of Christopher Nolan. He put one of Nolan’s films on his list of the best films of the decade and we were more than curious to hear an interesting perspective on a such an innovative director. We mainly look at Nolan's most acclaimed film, MEMENTO, then discuss a film that seemed to be less acclaimed at the time, THE PRESTIGE. We dissect both at length, and each choose one other film from his filmography to talk about further. During the what we watched segment, Erik reviews WARRIOR, Jim reviews FRIGHT NIGHT, and Patrick reviews CAPTAIN AMERICA. We also announce the winner of the Amazon Gift Card contest! In less than a week, our first returning guest Brendan Leonard joins us to talk about the work of David Mamet (both as a director and as a writer). Until next time, please send us your suggestions as well as any comments about Nolan or any director we’ve discussed or will discuss on a future episode. Drop us a line if you’re a movie blogger/podcaster and would like a guest spot on the show to talk about a filmmaker whose work you admire (or despise). Thanks for listening and be sure to check out our updated upcoming schedule in the sidebar to see which directors we’ll be talking about soon!
