Expectations were high back in 2002 for Christopher Nolan's INSOMNIA, the follow-up to his mind-bending breakthrough "Memento." But despite solid reviews and decent box office, the film has been largely forgotten by Nolan fans—including Adam and Josh. They revisit the director's third feature this week as part of their Nolan Oeuvre-view, finding a film with lots of familiar Nolan touches—and a somewhat divisive lead performance by Al Pacino. Plus, reviews of three new films: Justin Kurzel's TRUE HISTORY OF THE KELLY GANG, Tayarisha Poe's SELAH AND THE SPADES, and Danielle Krudy & Bridget Savage Cole's BLOW THE MAN DOWN—one of which gets both Adam and Josh's blessing as a 2020 Golden Brick candidate. 0:00 - Billboard 1:06 - Reviews: "Kelly Gang," "Selah and the Spades," "Blow the Man Down" Disq, "Daily Routine" 26:28 - Next Week/Notes 50:20 - Nolan Oeuvre-view #3: "Insomnia" 1:18:54 - Outro Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, the girls are running on three hours of sleep... so there's no better time for Kayleen to explain Christopher Nolan's Insomnia, right?!

Get ready for a whole lot of tangents and giggle fits as we discuss... some murder. 

For this week's Throwback edition of MAM, Richard and Brian talk Christopher Nolan's Insomnia for its 15th anniversary.

Welcome the newest episode of Dark Discussions, your place for the discussion of horror film, fiction, and all that’s fantastic. Welcome to episode 152 of Dark Discussions, our second roundtable of genre film starring Robin Williams. A celebration of the multi-talented legend and his ability to play so many various and different roles. Insomnia, an English language remake of a Norwegian film starring Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgård, was the film that brought director Christopher Nolan to superstardom and prominence. Los Angeles police detective Will Dormer and his partner head off to Nightmute, Alaska to help in a case of the murder of a seventeen year old girl. Arriving as both a renowned person within his field but also as an officer being investigated for wrong doing, Dormer immediately suspects that the usual suspects are highly unlikely to have committed the brutal crime. When a stakeout goes awry, there's a new person of interest. Is a serial killer on the loose? And is the psychological cat-and-mouse between Dormer and the new suspect just the beginning down a path to amoral deeds? With its incredible cast of Al Pacino, Robin Williams, and Hillary Swank, and the fantastic direction by Christopher Nolan, Insomnia was a splendid surprise in the filmographies of its two leading men. Dark, gloomy, and using its locations superbly, the film is a character study of one man's descent into humiliation and dishonor while bringing out the very best of mysteries, thrillers, and police procedurals in modern film.
