On the heels of The Odyssey pulling in a staggering $1.58 billion at the box office—and Oppenheimer’s success before that—we decided to close our shared gaps in Christopher Nolan's filmography by finally watching Interstellar.
Since his breakthrough feature Memento in 2000, Nolan's been remarkably prolific over the last 26 years, delivering films like The Prestige, Inception, Dunkirk, and, of course, his celebrated Batman trilogy. Along the way, he’s cemented his place in the canon of great writer-directors.
But on the pod today, we’re talking Interstellar, its cast—including Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain, and Anne Hathaway—its stunning set pieces, and its place in the tradition of contemplative movies about space exploration like 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Martian, and the recent Project Hail Mary.
We also break down the essential elements of a Christopher Nolan film, the cadre of actors he continues to bring back for new projects, and the recurring themes he explores throughout his stories.
