But there's no hard legal rule based on age. What actually matters more than age is fair use, which considers: Purpose — commentary, criticism, education = stronger fair use case Amount used — shorter = safer; a 5-10 second clip for reaction/discussion is generally fine Effect on market — your clip shouldn't replace the original In practice for YouTube specifically: Most major studios have Content ID systems that will flag clips regardless of movie age — even 100-year-old films if the rights holder has registered them Public domain is the real safe zone — films from 1927 or earlier are generally in the public domain in the US. Some films from the 1928-1963 range are also public domain if copyright wasn't renewed Disney, Warner Bros., Universal etc. actively enforce even very old films For a show like TWiST showing a short reaction clip — 5-10 seconds with clear commentary context is the industry standard and rarely gets actioned. But age alone won't protect you. Today's show: *A humanoid robot ran the 100m in 9.39, breaking the human Usain Bolt's world record, while an entire stadium cheered. Jason thinks Beijing's World Humanoid Robot Games aren't a science fair, or a fun exhibition, but the best AI PR campaign on Earth. While Americans debate the data centers that train the robot brains, China is already turning them into a spectacle and world-class entertainment. Find out what Jason thinks America can do to catch up… and why he believes there will be 1 billion Optimus robots deployed by the year 2036. PLUS on an all-news TWiST, hot takes on the potential $13B Hugging Face sale (to a mystery buyer), why founders should always "buy the threat," analyzing Sam Altman's "I'm listening and I hear you" face, and are kill drones already in operation around the world? We're digging in to how close the real world is to mirroring the "Terminator" films.

Deze week schuiven Jelle en Koos weer aan voor een bomvolle aflevering van Nerd Culture. Op het menu staan nieuwe films, series en een flinke lading opvallend entertainmentnieuws. Van Ted Lasso en X-Men '97 tot Masters of the Universe, The Hunt for Red October en zelfs een duik in de Twilight Saga. Daarnaast praten we je bij over de toekomst van Spider-Man, de nieuwe X-Men-cast, The Legend of Zelda, God of War, Warhammer 40,000 en nog veel meer. Ted Lasso Season 4 Review Het vierde seizoen van Ted Lasso is eindelijk van start gegaan. Jelle heeft de eerste aflevering inmiddels gezien en vertelt of de geliefde Apple TV+-serie na jaren afwezigheid nog altijd dezelfde charme weet te raken. Lukt het de makers om het succes van de eerdere seizoenen voort te zetten, of voelt deze terugkeer vooral als een onnodige verlenging? Uiteraard bespreken we de aflevering zonder grote spoilers, zodat ook kijkers die nog moeten beginnen zorgeloos kunnen meeluisteren. Robert Pattinsons schittert als Chris Hansen in Primetime Robert Pattinson heeft misschien wel een van de opvallendste carrières in Hollywood doorgemaakt. Waar hij jarenlang vooral bekendstond als Edward Cullen uit de Twilight-films, heeft hij zich de afgelopen jaren ontwikkeld tot een van de meest interessante acteurs van zijn generatie. Met rollen in films als The Lighthouse, Tenet, The Batman en recent nog Christopher Nolans The Odyssey bewijst hij keer op keer zijn veelzijdigheid. Binnenkort is hij bovendien te zien in Primetime, waarin hij de beruchte tv-presentator Chris Hansen speelt tijdens de hoogtijdagen van Dateline NBC: To Catch a Predator. In de podcast kijken Jelle en Koos terug op Pattinsons indrukwekkende transformatie van tieneridool tot gerespecteerd acteur en bespreken ze waarom hij inmiddels tot de absolute top van Hollywood behoort.Wil je adverteren bij de podcast Nerd Culture óf misschien bij een andere podcast van ILVY Network?

What's up, everybody? This is a throwback episode where I talked about Christopher Nolan's most mind-bending film, Tenet.
We said The Prestige is the "most" Christopher Nolan movie, and that Inception is his most autobiographical... but it turns out we were wrong, because both apply to Interstellar. It's a movie where a character literally says, "I'm not afraid of death. I'm afraid of time." It's a movie about a man who desperately wants to return home to his children, except that he wants even more to go do some cool stuff in outer space. The movie's working title was Flora's Letter, referring to Nolan's real-life 11-year-old daughter Flora, the inspiration for the character of Murph. And it's probably Nolan's best movie. Laci and Matt spend more than three hours celebrating this masterpiece, and talk a lot about whether you should even care if the human race got resurrected via a tube of sperm on another planet hundreds of years in the future.

The Summer of Nolan is our summer 2026 miniseries covering the movie career of Christopher Nolan through nine movies on the main feed (plus additional episodes on the Patreon!), presented in chronological order, starting with Memento and going through Oppenheimer.

Welcome to another episode of Death Don't Do Fiction, the AIPT Movies podcast! The podcast about the enduring legacy of our favorite movies! It was recently July, so that meant it was time for our “Julygantic” series! Where we cover monster movies! In our season 5 finale, Alex, Tim, and returning guest Matt Naughton discuss the classic mockbuster that asks “what if Jaws could swim in the sewer and walk on city streets?” 1980's Alligator! Booger Alley! A monster that knows how to make an entrance! Male pattern balding! Alligator flirting! Animal sadness! Suspiciously aerodynamic eyebrows! Multiple examples of bad parenting! Bribing street kids with beer! A surprisingly stealthy-yet enormous alligator! A dark, cavernous, and beautifully-shot sewer system! A deeply committed photographer! An incredibly memorable wedding! A pool-related prank gone horribly wrong! irresponsible hand grenade use! A strategic pots and pans parade! Gator profiteering! An attack on the free market! Dramatic guestlist checking! An incompetent Police force! A fun giant alligator puppet and actual alligators walking around miniature sets! Plentiful alligator attacks, including the match we've all been waiting for: gator vs. limo! A cast that includes an iconic performance from Jackie Brown's Robert Forster and Henry Silva as an ineffective big game hunter! All that and more in this cash grab with character development that somehow succeeds in being a real movie, where the true villain is corporate greed! In addition, the gang shares their spoiler-free thoughts on Hot Fuzz, Tenet, Alan Ritchson's Motor City, and The Long Walk! You can find Death Don't Do Fiction on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Is it a good movie if you have to watch it ten times? That's the question Chris and Daniel keep circling back to as they take on Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, skipping the marketing noise and the wireframe-cyclops conspiracy theories to actually ask whether the thing works as a film. They dig into what Nolan is doing as a filmmaker, structurally and emotionally, in his adaptation of the oldest story in Western literature, and why a three hour runtime built around a decade-long wait might be the whole point rather than a flaw. The real conversation is about adaptation itself: what happens when a director spends the entire movie making an audience feel exactly what an intractable wait feels like, and why Nolan's obsession with time connects everything from Memento through Tenet to this one. Daniel makes the case that Nolan has finally figured out how to deliver Tenet's disorienting rewatch effect without forcing anyone to actually rewatch anything. Chris and Daniel also compare Nolan's spectacle-forward approach to what a Denis Villeneuve version might have looked like, and get into why single-vision directors are becoming Hollywood's new IP. Mentioned in this episode: The Odyssey (Christopher Nolan), Tenet, Dunkirk, Interstellar, Memento, Oppenheimer, Denis Villeneuve, Dune, Avatar, James Cameron, Peter Jackson, Annihilation (Alex Garland), Starship Troopers (Paul Verhoeven), Inglourious Basterds, Jackie Brown, Frank Gehry, Steven Spielberg, Disclosure Day, Zack Kreger, Ryan Coogler, Hoyte van Hoytema, Wally Pfister, David Lynch, Jack Fisk, Paris, Texas, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Master and Commander, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, Neuromancer (trailer) Special thanks to our sponsor: Center Grid Virtual Studio: https://cgvirtualstudio.com/
The end of our Nolan series approaches, as you can tell by the fact we've reached a film that doesn't care about beginnings, or endings, or - more than one of us might argue - what happens in the middle, either.This week we're watching/have watched/will have been about to be watching Tenet, which is like a time-based counterpart to the globe-spanning, dream-plumbing action of Inception. Not content with simply folding Paris back upon itself, Tenet goes one further and folds all of reality, with a war of annihilation moving back along the timeline from the future and about to engulf the present.What does this mean? On the one hand, we sincerely have no idea. On the other, it means bullets that fire backwards, fight scenes between opponents moving in contrary directions through time, car chases where both cars pursue each other at the same time(s), and a final assault that's finished before it begins.Obviously, Bill and Ted would have had this wrapped up in 90 minutes. But what else do we make of Tenet? Join us to find out! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Richard Lewis turned Tenet off three times. On the fourth attempt he finally made it to the end, and he came out calling it an unfairly maligned film. That is the story of this episode. Thorin picked Tenet expecting a bloodbath, hoping to be the lone defender of Christopher Nolan's most divisive movie. Instead Richard converted, MonteCristo landed somewhere in the middle, and the argument turned into something more interesting: is a film allowed to be incomplete after one viewing? Thorin's position is that Tenet is the only movie ever made that genuinely requires a second watch, because the first time through you are only seeing one side of a temporal pincer movement.

Hosts Will Alimonos and Zach Bishop kick off this July 31, 2026 episode of Little Column A, Little Column B with a victory lap from the Celtics' championship parade before diving into a full listener mailbag packed with sports debates, pop culture, and everyday hot takes. The duo tackles the streaming wars by debating binge releases versus weekly episodes, questions whether controversial officiating is becoming part of the entertainment product, and breaks down the latest WNBA headlines and the Caitlin Clark media circus. They also discuss breweries becoming family hangouts, whether sports gambling is changing the way fans watch games, and if concert crowds should sing along—or leave it to the artist.

Imagine moving every year (or more)! Finding a new dentist, a new doctor, a new playground, the best spot for coffee, a haircut, a new school, a new friend! Now, visualize having all of these tasks and a child with special needs who needs supportive services right away. We sat down with the legal analyst and the director of research from Partners in PROMISE to talk about what the data really says about military-connected special needs families, and why every number in that research represents a family figuring out how to make it work, again and again. Behind every policy gap and every statistic is a parent who's become an expert in something they never signed up for. Come for the research. Stay to witness the incredible lengths these families go to, providing emotional stability and educational continuity for their children.

Our guest is the legendary Blake Howard of One Heat Minute Productions. We chat about late-period Al Pacino, the unexpected success of Batman Begins, and those other magician movies that came out around The Prestige in 2006.

From the breathtaking opera siege, inverted hallway fight, jaw-dropping 747 plane crash, highway chase, temporal pincer movement, and mind-bending ending, this Tenet reaction is packed with theories, confusion, and appreciation for one of Nolan's boldest films.

In this Tenet movie reaction, Tenet full movie reaction, and review, John & Andrew react to Christopher Nolan's (Oppenheimer, Inception) time-bending espionage thriller starring John David Washington as The Protagonist (BlacKkKlansman, The Creator), Robert Pattinson as Neil (The Batman, Mickey 17), Elizabeth Debicki as Kat (The Crown, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3), Kenneth Branagh as Andrei Sator (Belfast, Murder on the Orient Express), and Michael Caine as Sir Michael Crosby (The Dark Knight Trilogy, Interstellar), featuring an unforgettable score by Ludwig Göransson (Oppenheimer, Black Panther). From temporal inversion and the spectacular practical effects to Neil's emotional arc, the Sator Square mystery, and one of Christopher Nolan's most debated endings, John & Andrew discuss whether Tenet deserves another look and why it remains one of Nolan's most fascinating films ahead of The Odyssey.

On the Overthinking It Podcast, three old friends tackle the recent Broadway production of Sondheim’s “Merrily,” streaming on Netflix.

[Latest Posts | Podcast (iTunes Link)]
On episode 162 of the Director Watch Podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter are joined by the host of The Waffle Press Movie Podcast, Diego Crespo to discuss the next film in their Christopher Nolan series, Tenet (2020). Welcome back to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, the boys attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. We live in a twilight world, or should we say, we live in a Nolan's world, and we are lucky to be living in it where films like Tenet are getting made. In an attempt to make his own spy film, Nolan creates an uncompromising, complex, loose thriller about an unnamed secret agent working to take down a rich, Russian billionaire who has discovered objects from the future and brought them to the past to end the world as we know it. Along the way, our Protagonist enlists the help of our villain's wife and a fellow spy (unknowing it's his best bud) and with just the titular word as his guild, doors open to a puzzle he finds himself at the center of. Complicated, confusing, and downright brilliant, Nolan stops explaining everything in this film, instead, opting for the audience to "just feel it" and make a film off good vibes and technical wonder; and doing so, made one of his best films. Ryan, Jay, and Diego break down their love of this film, when they saw it and how they saw if given the COVID-19 virus, and it's questionable release schedule, Kenneth Branagh's accent, the use of Elizabeth Debicki's height, what Hollywood is going to do with John David Washington, how good looking Aaron Taylor-Johnson is, what makes a modern movie 5 stars on Letterboxd, their excitement over the phrase "temporal pincer movement," if they like hot sauce with their meals, and whether the movie makes sense and if that even matters at all. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. You can also listen on the AW YouTube page. This podcast runs 2h50m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Christopher Nolan with a review of his next film, Oppenheimer. You can stream it on Peacock or rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it.

Dude, this episode hit different. I sat down with Jacob Albaugh Tenet, founder of Tenet Products, and what started as a guy from Ohio racing four-wheelers turned into one of the wildest entrepreneurial grinds I’ve heard on this podcast — and that’s saying something. Jacob was a national champion ATV racer before he ever picked up a rifle. Then he had a kid, watched his buddy crash at 45 mph, and walked away from racing cold. He poured that same obsessive, pro-level mentality into western hunting — and that’s where this story really takes off. After blowing out his eardrums on a mule deer at 32 yards, losing an animal off a cliff because he couldn’t spot his own shot, and surviving a blizzard SOS situation in Idaho that he says changed his life, Jacob became convinced there had to be a better way to hunt suppressed without sacrificing accuracy. So he built one. In his garage. With a grinder and a welder. Five years, 87 iterations, seven pending patents, and a lot of 20-hour days later, Tenet Products exists — suppressors that combine brake-level recoil control with real suppression, at weights (5.1–5.9 ounces) that sound made up until you see the data. We talk about the midnight idea that led to the patented Horizon Brake System, why he thinks outsiders solve problems industry veterans can’t, the torture testing that’s put over 1,400 rounds through a single can, and what happened when Tenet showed up to Joseph Ewing’s massive 145-suppressor shootout in Montana against every serious competitor in the space. This one’s part origin story, part engineering deep-dive, part conversation about grit, faith, and what it actually takes to build something from scratch when nobody in the industry believes you. If you’ve ever thought about running suppressed in the backcountry, or you just love a good underdog build story — this is a must listen.

For decades, suppressor design has forced a trade-off — get recoil control from a brake, or get hearing protection from a suppressor, but rarely both without adding serious weight. Tenet’s approach of engineering the suppressor itself (not just the brake) for shot control is what let them break that curve. Passion-driven problem solving can outperform decades of industry expertise. Jacob had no suppressor background and no entrepreneurial ambition when he started — he was just trying to fix his own hunting setup. His point that someone solving their own problem out of obsession will often out-innovate someone doing it as a job is a great reminder for anyone building something in any industry. Recoil management matters more than caliber size for accuracy in the field. The current trend toward smaller cartridges (6.5s, 6mm) exists because lower recoil equals better shot placement. Jacob’s insight — that you can get that same manageability out of a 7 PRC or 300 PRC with the right muzzle system — means hunters don’t have to give up knockdown power to get accuracy anymore.

On episode 161 of the Director Watch Podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter are joined by AwardsWatch contributor Trace Sauveur to discuss the next film in their Christopher Nolan series, Dunkirk (2017). Welcome back to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, the boys attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision-making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. After Nolan's epic space family drama, the director looked to his other home country of England to take a look at one of the most important moments of humanity within World War II with Dunkirk. Instead of making a sweeping war picture, Nolan strips everything down to the visuals, uses three different sections of time, and splices them together to create the tension, fear of these men stranded on a beach within looking distance of home. In doing this, he created an undeniable masterpiece that took away some of his bad habits and makes a lean film that feels like an action set piece all the way through. Ryan, Jay, and Trace break down their thoughts on the film, Hoyte van Hoytema first collaboration with Nolan, each section of the war, how awesome Tom Hardy is in the plane we see in the film, the acting of Harry Styles, the sound work, and Jay's continued quest to remind us all that WWII is still underrated when we talk about important events in the world. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. You can also listen on the AW YouTube page. This podcast runs 2h04m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Christopher Nolan with a review of his next film, Tenet. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it.

Comenzamos con Miguel Moraleda donde nos trae su Biblioteca Oculta, con unas historias que no te dejará impasible. En este episodio también entrevistamos a Manuel Plata, quien nos sumerge en el fascinante universo de uno de los directores más complejos y visionarios del cine actual. ¿Es Christopher Nolan un maestro del entretenimiento o un auténtico místico moderno? Hablamos sobre los símbolos ocultos, los juegos temporales, los laberintos de la mente y las preguntas filosóficas que recorren películas como Inception, Interstellar, The Prestige, Tenet y Oppenheimer. Sueños dentro de sueños, reversibilidad del tiempo, el peso de la conciencia y esa sensación constante de que hay algo más allá de lo que vemos en pantalla. Una conversación profunda, reveladora y llena de sorpresas que te hará ver las películas de Nolan con otros ojos. #LaRuedaDelMisterio #ChristopherNolan #ManuelPlata #MisticaNolan #Inception #Interstellar #Tenet #ThePrestige #Oppenheimer #CineMistico #RealidadesAlternas #SueñosYTiempo #FilosofiaDelCine #MisterioEnElCine #CineDeAutor laruedadelmisterio2010@gmail.com ®© La Rueda del Misterio

Phil and Emily are joined by actress Fiona Dourif to launch a brand new mini-series, Richard Kelly Reichardt, with the cult classic that started a thousand dorm-room arguments: Donnie Darko (2001).Richard Kelly's debut premiered at Sundance, opened the same day the Patriot Act was signed into law, and promptly bombed in theaters before Drew Barrymore's Flower Films, a $4.5 million budget, and a generation of video-store rentals turned it into a phenomenon. The gang digs into why it became the movie every college bro swore was a misunderstood masterpiece, and whether it actually holds up a quarter century later.They get into the big stuff: the tall bunny named Frank, the pocket-universe time-loop mechanics, and that gut-punch ending where Donnie chooses to sacrifice himself. Emily, who has seen this more times than almost any movie in her life, untangles Kelly's "ironclad" explanation, why she prefers the simpler emotional read, and why the director's cut overexplains everything. Fiona connects it to American Beauty and Magnolia, the search for God after religion, and her own time-bending turn in Christopher Nolan's Tenet. And the whole table takes on modern film-discussion culture's obsession with mapping every rule instead of just living inside a story that doesn't quite make sense.Plus: baby Noah Wyle, the most unhinged high-school teacher ever written, and a stacked early-2000s cast that keeps making you hit pause. Does Donnie Darko hold up, or did it age like the 25-year-old screenwriter dialogue it's built on? Listen and decide.Follow the show & guests:Podcast Like It's... — https://www.instagram.com/podcastlikeitsPhil Iscove — https://www.instagram.com/pmiscoveEmily St. James — https://www.instagram.com/emilystjamsFiona Dourif — https://www.instagram.com/fionadourif
This week, novelist and screenwriter Sufiyaan Salam comes onto the pod to talk about TENET, Christopher Nolan's take on the spy thriller genre that continues to confuse audiences. Hussein and Sufiyaan talk about TENET as Nolan's passion project, how his take on time travel makes the film unique, and whether you can watch a film to experience it, without thinking about it too much. Sufiyaan also talks about his debut novel, WIMMY ROAD BOYZ and gives an insight into his writing process, and the way that anarchic social media platforms informed the stylistic choices that has made his novel one of the most anticipated of the year.
