How, in all her childhood she has never been more enthralled by a movie. At 12 years it made her want to be an actor like Bette Davis.  The Godfather 2 analysis [32:19] Isabel Dréan shares how The Godfather 2 is a film she watched very young.

Christopher Nolan's Interstellar was a phenomenon in 2014. Set in the future, Earth has been struck by a global crop blight. Former NASA pilot Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) is pulled into a NASA mission to transport the human race to a new planet, via wormhole. Back on Earth, Cooper's daughter, Murph (Jessica Chastain), attempts to complete an equation that will allow this mass-transport of humanity from Earth. Many scientists praised the film, particularly for its depiction of black holes. In this episode co-hosts Regina G. Barber and Emily Kwong talk about Interstellar with Star Trek scientific advisor and astrophysicist Erin Macdonald. They walk through wormholes, black holes and all the ways space-time stretches in the film. Interested in more on the science behind science fiction?

This week on Better Than Average, Chris and Jay dive into Christopher Nolan's The Prestige—a film packed with illusions, obsession, and one of the greatest cinematic twists of all time. We break down what makes this movie such a mind-bending classic, from the performances to the storytelling structure, and why it still holds up years later.But the conversation doesn't stop at the movie—we also explore what it would actually be like to have a twin. From the practical perks to the weird identity challenges, we imagine the double life and how it might play out on and off the mats. It sounds like a weird episode right? Well it is, but it's still Better Than Average.

This week, we return to our series on the films of Christopher Nolan by diving headfirst into The Dark Knight — the movie that convinced an entire generation that growling equals gravitas. From Heath Ledger's chaos-icon Joker to a Batman so serious he makes taxes look fun, we're dissecting the film's themes, IMAX spectacle, and how Hans Zimmer's score is a nerve-shredding symphony of dread.  Is it a superhero movie? A crime epic? A two-and-a-half-hour TED Talk on moral ambiguity? Maybe all of the above. One thing's clear: The Dark Knight isn't just another cape flick — it's a cinematic flex that made critics panic, rewrote Oscar history, and left us all quoting a clown in face paint like he was Shakespeare. ----more---- Thank you so much for listening!

We kick off – see what I did there? – the new episode by greeting the return of our hero, Fintan Costello, to these shores. Some say his return is what inspired Christopher Nolan to make his new epic ‘The Odyssey' because he's a fan; I can't speak for that nice Mr Nolan but let's just say it's possible. We discuss the newly-announced Gambling Book Awards (www.gamblingbookawards.com), talk a bit about sponsors, and many other things [0:00 – 13:25].Then we meet guest Sam Zerfoss, VP of Customer Success for the Americas, at Optimove.

We get in to market trends, the evolution of bonuses and promotions, and the importance of personalisation in engaging customers.

Richard Beck was 14 years old when planes flew into the Twin Towers on 9/11. He grew up in a Philadelphia suburb as a “mainstream liberal Democrat,” and during high school, was more concerned with music than politics. After graduating from Harvard, Beck moved to New York, where he still resides, and began contributing to the progressive journal n+1, a print and digital magazine of literature, culture, and politics. In this podcast, we discuss his new book, “Homeland: The War on Terror in American Life,” a groundbreaking history of how the decades-long war on terror changed virtually every aspect of American life. Key Themes Discussed: Impunity Culture: A major shift was the open defense of previously clandestine or denied practices (like torture) by officials from both parties (Bush and Obama administrations). This created a precedent where powerful figures face no consequences for their actions. Media & Propaganda: The press became "stenographers" for power, exemplified by Judith Miller's reporting in the New York Times, which helped propagandize the case for war. Political Culture: A climate of intense nationalism and suppression of dissent was created (e.g., the backlash against the Dixie Chicks). Pop Culture as a Reflection: Superhero movies (e.g., Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, Iron Man) are analyzed as cultural products that processed the anxieties of the War on Terror, glorifying special forces-type heroes and wrestling with themes of torture, surveillance, and extra-legal violence. New Atheism: The movement (Hitchens, Harris, Dawkins, etc.) is criticized for devolving into a racist, Islamophobic project that framed the conflict as a "clash of civilizations," similar to the Bush administration's rhetoric. The Economic Purpose ("The Missing Why"): A significant portion of the discussion focuses on the book's third section, which argues that the War on Terror had a deeper economic logic. The Illusion of Democracy: The hosts and Beck reference a study suggesting that U.S. government policy has no statistical relationship to public opinion, arguing that the undemocratic trends exacerbated by the War on Terror were long underway.   Get the Book: https://www.kingsbookstore.com/book/9780593240229 Mentioned:  https://www.nplusonemag.com/ Greg's Blog: http://zzs-blg.blogspot.com/ Pat's Substack: https://patcummings.substack.com/about RichardBeck#Homeland:TheWaonTerrorandAmericanLife#WeBelievetheChildren#WaronTerror#9/11#AmericanPolitics#HomelandSecurity#ImpunityCulture#PoliticalEconomy#DonaldTrump#GeorgeW.Bush#BarackObama#n+1Magazine#SuperheroMovies#NewAtheism#Islamophobia#Trumpism#Authoritarianism#DemocraticErosion#U.S.Hegemony#Torture#Surveillance#MilitaryIndustrialComplex#GregGodels,PatCummings,CFLF,ComingFromLeftField,Podcast,zzblog,mltoday  

In this episode, we break down Inception and tackle the movie's biggest question: was Cobb still dreaming at the end? Christopher Nolan leaves the finale intentionally ambiguous, but when you look closely at the layers of storytelling, symbolism, and visual details, there are clues that point to a deeper answer. We dig into the spinning top, Cobb's emotional journey, and why the ending works no matter what you believe. Whether you think it was reality or one final dream, this breakdown unpacks why the ending of Inception continues to fascinate audiences more than a decade later.   Stream Lane Hunt's latest release: Rev Me Up   Chapters: 00:00 How Nolan tackles a high concept 8:09 The insanely low amount of CGI 12:30 Nolan making a high concept believable 19:38 Nolan's carefully crafted stories 31:17 Ending explained: Was he dreaming? 45:28 Nolan filling all plot holes 52:17 The meaning of Dom Cobb's name & more easter eggs 56:13 Our official rating & final thoughts 1:08:12 New Lane Hunt music: Rev Me Up

In classic Nolan-tradition, the boys attack his filmography in the order that it is supposed to be discussed: out of order. Here is Batman Begins and a confused discussion about the BAFTAs. Not least how it is supposed to be pronounced.

On the forty- ninth episode of All the Film Things, I had the pleasure of interviewing producer/ director Jonathan Berman! Jonathan Berman is a California- based producer/ director who has been working in the industry for nearly 40 years. Before making his own documentaries often focused on sub- cultures not often highlighted in mainstream media, such as Commune (2005) and The Shvitz (1993), he worked as a producer, co- writer, and assistant sound editor on films and television shows with one of his first jobs being a production assistant on the set of Pee Wee's Playhouse. My Friend Paul (1999), Jonathan's sophomore documentary for which he directed, wrote, and produced was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the Slamdance Film Festival in 1999. His latest film, Calling All Earthlings (2018), won the Debut Feature Competition Jury Prize at the Illuminate Film Festival in 2018. Aside from his work in film production, he is a professor at Cal State San Marcos School of Arts and has taught courses on subjects like documentary filmmaking, media distribution, and both US and international cinema.Jonathan's documentary Commune, which is focused on the commune of Black Bear Ranch in the late 60s through the 70s, is celebrating its 20th anniversary by being screened in its newly restored form across the US. Three more screenings in California have been announced with the next in San Rafael on September 12, another in Los Angeles on September 17, and the last announced screening on September 20 in Ojai, California. More screenings are expected to be announced so follow @CommuneTheMovie on Instagram and Facebook to stay updated on the film and its upcoming screenings!This is Jonathan's first time on ATFT! I got connected to Jonathan thanks to Kelly Hargraves who presented me this excellent opportunity and then became a big help in setting the interview up. This episode was recorded on August 7, 2025. In this episode, Jonathan talks about his post- production process, specifically when it comes to trimming down hundreds of hours of footage to form a film, as well as his love for old noir and comedy films from the 1930s, and meeting Christopher Nolan. We also compared his film Commune to one of my favorite films: Easy Rider (1969)! All this and much more on the latest episode of All the Film Things!Background music created and used with permission by the Copyright Free Music - Background Music for Videos channel on YouTube.

In a recent interview with Josh Horowitz, director Darren Aronofsky dove into his unmade Batman Year One adaptation. Years ago, before Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins, Aronofsky co-wrote a script with comics legend Frank Miller, providing a new spin on the mythos in which Bruce Wayne rejects his family fortune and grows up on the streets of Gotham. A similar idea has recently made it to DC Comics in the popular series Absolute Batman. Aronofsky’s unmade Batman Year One would’ve starred […] The post Darren Aronofsky’s Unmade Batman Year One appeared first on Multiverse Of Color.

In which the Mister joins me in reviewing INTERSTELLAR (2014), from a script by Jonathan and Christopher Nolan, the film is directed by Christopher Nolan.  In a near-future where Earth is succumbing to crop blight and dust storms, a widowed former NASA pilot named Cooper is recruited for a last-ditch mission to save humanity. He must lead a team of astronauts through a wormhole near Saturn in search of a new, habitable planet. As they travel through time-distorted space, Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) grapples with the emotional cost of leaving his family behind, particularly his daughter, Murph (Mackenzie Foy/Jessica Chastain/Ellen Burstyn), as he races against time to find a new home for mankind.  The film clocks in at 2 h and 49 m, is rated PG-13 and we watched it on the @HooplaDigital app but it's also streaming on Paramount+ and Plex TV and to rent/buy on Prime Video.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.#SupportYourLocalLibrary ⁠ ⁨@hoopladigital⁩ ⁠ #Interstellar #ChristopherNolan #JonathanNolan #AllisonJanney #MatthewMcConaughey  #Cooper #MackenzieFoy #JessicaChastin #EllenBurstyn #Murph #TimothéeChalamet #CaseyAffleck #Tom #JohnLithgow #Donald #MichaelCaine #ProfessorBrand #AnneHathaway #Brand #BillIrwin #Tars #WesBentley #Doyle ##DavidGyasi #Romilly #JoshStewart #Case #TopherGrace #Getty #MattDamon #Mann #AdventureEpic #Epic #PsychologicalDrama #Drama #Quest #SciFi #SpaceSciFi #TimeTravel #Adventure #Drama  @HooplaDigital  @ParamountPlus  @Plex  @PrimeVideo  #FridayFamilyFilmNightOpening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library

Jurandir Filho, Thiago Siqueira e Rogério Montanare batem um papo sobre a carreira de Christopher Nolan e como ele conseguiu ser considerado (hoje) o maior cineasta da atualidade, um diretor que conseguiu unir como poucos o respeito da crítica, o reconhecimento da indústria e o sucesso absoluto de público. Ele fez filmes que não apenas renderam prêmios, como também se tornaram fenômenos culturais, discutidos por anos após o lançamento.Hoje, Christopher Nolan é visto não apenas como um grande diretor de blockbusters, mas como o cineasta que melhor conseguiu unir arte e espetáculo no século XXI, uma combinação que o transformou, para muitos, no maior cineasta em atividade.Comentamos sobre: "Following" (1998), "Amnésia" (2000), "Insomnia" (2002), "Batman Begins" (2005), "O Grande Truque" (2006), "Batman - O Cavaleiro das Trevas" (2008), "A Origem" (2010), "Batman - O Cavaleiro das Trevas Ressurge" (2012), " Interestelar" (2014), "Dunkirk" (2017), "Tenet" (2020) e "Oppenheimer" (2023).|| ASSINE O SALA VIP DO RAPADURACAST- Um podcast EXCLUSIVO do RapaduraCast toda semana! http://patreon.com/rapaduracast

Read transcriptHoly cowl-wearing console catastrophe, comic crusaders! This week on Play Comics we're grappling-hooking our way into the surprisingly deep shadows of 2005's Batman Begins video game – because apparently someone at Eurocom looked at Christopher Nolan's gritty reboot and thought, “You know what this needs? A fear meter and the ability to summon actual bats to terrify thugs into submission!” Released across more platforms than Batman has traumatic childhood memories, this movie tie-in somehow managed to land on PS2, Xbox, GameCube, and Game Boy Advance without completely embarrassing itself in the process. While most movie games crash and burn faster than if I tried to drive the Batmobile, this stealth-action adventure actually tried to do something interesting with its “High Frequency Transponder” gadget and environmental intimidation mechanics that made enemies drop their weapons in sheer terror. Joining us for this digital descent into Gotham's criminal underworld is the incredibly talented Wells Thompson, creative mastermind behind indie comic sensations and the brilliant mind that helped bring us The Scorpion and the Queen (among a bunch of other Kickstarter projects) and the force over at WellsThompson.com. Wells brings his unique perspective on comic storytelling and adaptations to help us figure out whether this game captured the essence of both the Dark Knight's origin story and Nolan's cinematic vision, or if it belongs in Arkham Asylum alongside the rest of the movie tie-in disasters. From the surprisingly robust stealth segments that actually rewarded patience over button-mashing, to those Batmobile sequences that had us questioning our life choices, we'll explore how this Eurocom-developed title managed to be the last Batman movie to get a proper video game adaptation – and whether that's a good thing or a tragedy. So grab your utility belt and join us as we investigate whether fear really is the best weapon, or if this game should have stayed in the cave where it belongs! Learn such things as: Where does this game fit into the timeline of the movie? Is it a problem that I could just buy the driving parts by themselves? How many times can you do the same puzzle? And so much more! You can find Wells on BlueSky @wellsthomp, his newsletter Comics, Cats, and Cocktails, his current Kickstarter The Scorpion and the Queen or just go ahead and see all of his stuff on Kickstarter, and of course his website WellsThompson.com.

All aboard the Cat Bus for a moving conversation about one of the greatest animations of all time – and the emotional madness of trying to bring that tale to the stage in London's West End. If you're in London at the moment, you need to see the current theatrical adaptation of My Neighbour Totoro currently showing in the West End. Produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company with puppet designs by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, this magical re-telling of the iconic Studio Ghibli animation was written by our guest today, Tom Morton-Smith – a storyteller whose past work includes Oppenheimer (not the Christopher Nolan movie, but an acclaimed stage drama) and Ravens, a Cold War thriller set at the 1972 World Chess Championship. Taking on Totoro was an undertaking as big and daunting as the titular forest spirit himself. Set in post-war Japan, Hayao Miyazaki's story told the tale of a father and his two daughters who move to the edge of an enchanted forest, to be closer to the hospital where the girls' mother is undergoing medical care. As uncertainty gathers, strange creatures reveal themselves to little Satsuki and Mei – leading them on an adventure of wonder and awe. In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, Tom details how he translated that wonder and awe to the stage. He's also open about his persoal experience, writing the play amid huge change in his family life. The grief and loss – or potential for loss – that sits in the background of the Totoro story is something Tom was moving through himself as he sat down to pen this adaptation.We break down the tale's themes of environmentalism and the kindness we owe to each other. We also get into the darkness of Ghibli that is often erased or reduced in how the west talks about films like this one. Finally, we talk about “ma” – the Japanese word for “emptiness” – that Miyazaki fills Totoro with, and why it might just be the secret to the joy of this film, now more than ever, in a frantic, digital world.

On this episode of Bingeworthy, host Mike DeAngelo heads back into the burning world of Apple TV+'s ‘Smoke', a gripping slow-burn crime drama based on the true story of a serial arsonist and the investigator determined to stop him. The series follows arson investigator Dave Gudsen (Taron Egerton), a small-town arson investigator who appears to be a dependable family man. But as the series progresses, a darker truth is revealed - SPOILER ALERT for Episode 2: Dave is secretly setting fires and unraveling psychologically at a dangerous pace. Investigators team up to take Dave down once and for all. The series also stars Greg Kinnear, Jurnee Smollett, Rafe Spall, John Leguizamo, Anna Chlumsky, and more.John Leguizamo joins the podcast to discuss his role on the show. Showrunner Dennis Lehane actually wrote the role of Ezra Esposito, Dave's disgraced former partner, for Leguizamo, which was both flattering and a little eyebrow-raising.

“You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.” - It's a solo mission this week as Ian takes the lead in our 291st episode, descending through dreamscapes, spinning tops, and subconscious heists in Christopher Nolan's mind-bending Inception (2010). Liam, Megs, Kev, and Georgia? They're all trapped in deeper dream layers, and Ian's holding Level 1 until someone figures out how to kick them back to reality. We're trading banana peels and baseball anthems for snow fortresses and Paris folding in on itself as we discuss: Why Inception still stands as one of Nolan's most ambitious films—and whether the world has caught up to its complexity. Nolan is a genius of narrative construction, but are there times where genius needs governance to ensure the story remains accessible for the masses? Why do the subsequent dream layers respect the science required to access the first dream—and why do they stack so neatly when logic suggests they shouldn't? How Inception violates the golden rule of introducing a “superpower” (in this case, a key ability) and then never using it again for the rest of the movie. The art of lucid dreaming, and how being alone this week means Ian can finally reveal what his recurring dream looks like (spoiler: it involves movie theatres). Which dream layer steals the show—and which feels like the bathroom break level. The ongoing debate: does the ending mean something definitive, or is that missing the point? Why Inception works as both a blockbuster and an intimate story about loss, guilt, and letting go. How Hans Zimmer's score became a cultural event—and why the “BRAAAM” sound is still echoing through cinema today. And finally, whether Inception is the Best Film Ever—or just a beautiful puzzle box we'll keep spinning forever. Become a Patron of this podcast and support the BFE at https://www.patreon.com/BFE.

We'll debate its campy charm, unforgettable performances and its rightful place in pop culture as we also leap forward to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Christopher Nolan's groundbreaking “Batman Begins.” Relive the gritty realism that redefined the genre, with Christian Bale's iconic portrayal, Michael Caine's wise Alfred, and Liam Neeson's chilling Ra's al Ghul, alongside a stacked cast that also includes Cillian Murphy, Katie Holmes, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Tom Wilkinson, and more! From neon Gotham to a city shrouded in fear, we explore the evolution of Batman on the big screen during crucial milestones for both films.Where To Watch Batman ForeverWhere To Watch Batman Begins

Welcome to Your Movie Rocks, an Alternate Ending podcast hosted by Mandy Albert. For every episode, Mandy will watch a movie assigned by her guest host, followed by a lively discussion. There's only one rule: no matter what the movie does to her, Mandy is only allowed to love it. August's episode is a very special one: Mandy welcomes to the AE podcasting family non other than Josh Albert, her co-host from the Star Trek: Enterprise podcast At Least There's a Dog - who is also, not incidentally, her husband - who comes with an olive branch to the AE community. Knowing that Christopher Nolan's 2020 time-shifting spy thriller Tenet is a highly contentious text on the Alternate Ending discord, Josh felt like it would be worthwhile for Mandy and himself to finally sit down and watch the thing and see what all the hubbub is about. And since Josh is a trained particle physicist and Mandy hates chase scenes, this movie full of cool chases and bad physics has a lot of hubbub indeed. Do they heal the rift in the AE family? The only way to find out is to listen!

Send us a textWhat defines the greatest films of our still-young century? When The New York Times published their reader-selected Top 100 Films of the 21st Century, we couldn't resist diving into this cultural touchstone that had over 200,000 cinephiles weighing in on what matters most in modern cinema.With Bong Joon-ho's "Parasite" claiming the top spot and Christopher Nolan dominating with five entries (including both "Interstellar" and "The Dark Knight" in the top 10), the list reveals fascinating patterns about what resonates with today's audiences. We explore the international appeal of the selections, from "Spirited Away" at #8 to "In the Mood for Love" at #12, while questioning the noticeable absence of Black filmmakers like Spike Lee and the limited representation of female directors.The conversation takes unexpected turns as we debate which films deserve higher placement (could "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" crack the top 10?), which should be removed entirely (does "Everything Everywhere All at Once" belong at #13?), and what crucial omissions we'd add to create a more representative canon. From questioning the recency bias that elevates new releases like "Oppenheimer" and "Dune Part Two" to lamenting the underrepresentation of horror and comedy, we offer our unfiltered takes on what this list gets right and wrong.Whether you're a casual moviegoer or a dedicated cinephile, this episode provides both a roadmap for essential viewing and a framework for thinking critically about what makes a film truly stand the test of time. Join us for this passionate celebration and critique of the films that have defined our century so far – and let us know which rankings you'd fight to change!Support the show
