A BIG episode for a BIG movie! Christopher Nolan’s Inception feels like a lifetime achievement in many ways. Its inception as an idea goes back to his childhood, and here we see the culmination of his visual, conceptual, and emotional obsessions culminate in a film that dominated cultural conversation. Our discussion spans from the incredible VFX work to the emotional core that makes this one of Nolan’s most personal films. In our movie news section, we talk about our excitement for Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. Finally, we do a movie draft of adaptations of non-fiction books and share our recommendations of the week.
