A mind blowing cinematic illusion or a failed misdirection? They feud, you decide! On this week's feud, Vidur and Vikram display a rivalry that mirrors the movie they are feuding - The Prestige. Despite them both being fans of Christopher Nolan, their feud ends up as intense as Borden vs Angiers, or as they refer to it, Batman vs Wolverine. Comparisons to The Illusionists are dealt with quickly, followed by some more interesting comparisons to 90s Bollywood movies. Things heat up when Scarlett Johansson and Andy Serkis get insulted. Vidur insists this is the least unnecessary use of Michael Caine in a Nolan movie while Vikram gets sick of hearing about magical realism. They discuss crazy fan theories, whether scientists are obsessed by magic, and the prestige of The Prestige.
