Upside down. Three levels down. A dream within a dream within a podcast as #NolanClub continues with Christopher Nolan’s 2010 black slate smash hit that redefined films, Inception! Jason and Ashley explore the dream-bending tale of a man fighting his dreams (or nightmares?), played by Leonardo Dicaprio and series of Dark Knight trilogy staples: Joseph Gondon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, Marion Cotillard, Michael Caine, and Ken Wantanabe, who take Nolan's affection for a non-linear storyline to new heights. Together we unpack the layers of this cinematic dream and examine why Inception has been copied for years to come.For more exclusive bonus podcasts like our Justice League Review show, our Teen Titans Podcast, and our GHL Exclusive Discord, join the Geek History Lesson Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/JawiinGHL RECOMMENDED READING from this episode► https://www.geekhistorylesson.com/recommendedreadingFOLLOW GHL►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/geekhistorylessonThreads: https://www.threads.net/@geekhistorylessonFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/geekhistorylessonGet Your GHL Pin: https://geekhistorylesson.etsy.comYou can follow Ashley at https://www.threads.net/@ashleyvrobinson or https://www.ashleyvictoriarobinson.com/Follow Jason at https://www.threads.net/@jawiin or https://bsky.app/profile/jasoninman.bsky.socialThanks for showing up to class today.
