Pod 3 - Desolating suspension of disbelief (Civil War, Dune) and hubris of Christopher Nolan

Our conversation dives into diverse topics from the latest in theater experiences with "Civil War 2024," to reflections on "Dune," actor critiques, and the allure of cinematic sandscapes. We'll navigate through thoughts on script-writing prowess, suspension of disbelief challenges, and the contrasting believably of space epics like "2049" and "The Fifth Element." Explore the realms of sci-fi movies versus social science, explain how Christopher Nolan only thinks he is Stanley Kubrick. Biology and "Game of Thrones.", data tracking and marketing "knowledge" and nuances between self-help and emotional support. We end with trying to answer an age old question: If Godzilla shows up in Chicago do we go back to work after a week?
