Christopher Nolan's Brilliance, Willie Bingham Vanishes, and Tom Cruise into the Manosphere

The Christopher Nolan celebration march rolls on through July as the lads gather to talk a little more temporal architecture, before the Short Short Film Film Review takes a turn for the pitch-black and deeply uncomfortable. This week, we’re dissecting The Disappearance of Willie Bingham, a gruesome Australian short that takes a chilling, bureaucratic look at capital punishment. Will Andy, Ash, and Stu find a brilliant piece of speculative fiction, or will this escalating surgical nightmare leave them entirely squeamish?

Then, the Cruise cruise drops anchor in the hyper-connected, emotionally raw valley of Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia. Tom steps into the leather vest of Frank T.J. Mackey—a toxic, leather-clad, respect-the-cock motivational guru that stands as arguably the most explosive, dick-obsessed role of his entire career. Your boys are diving deep into structural overlapping, torrential frogs, and whether Tom’s devastating breakdown by his father's bedside earns him the ultimate praise.

With the usual blend of silliness, seriousness, and a highly necessary Scientology Watch check-in, it’s time once again to take Cruise Control.
