Writers' Room: From Dusk Til Dawn

Christopher Nolan's Filmography

We're back from our unannounced hiatus to talk about a director who has a little movie called The Odyssey coming out in a couple of weeks. In a decidedly non-Nolan way, we chronologically go through his filmography and explore how time functions as both a theme and a narrative device. We also discuss criticisms of his filmmaking, his frequent collaborators, and his use of music and color. --- We now have an Instagram!

Project Hail Mary

We took a week off but we're back talking about one of the biggest bluckbusters of the year! Project Hail Mary is directed by the duo of Lorde & Miller starring Ryan Gosling & Sandra Hüller. This time around, we focus on the screenplay by Drew Goddard who adapted yet another novel of Andy Weir. We dissect the two storylines, the bromance between the two main characters, scientific approach and optimism in the movie. A big talking point is the soundtrack and score by Daniel Pemberton.

The Bride!

We couldn't resist talking about yet another gothic horror movie. This time it's The Bride! by writer & director Maggie Gyllenhaal. The titular character is played by Academy Award winning actress Jessie Buckley with Christian Bale in the role of the monster. Listen in as we dissect this stitched-together 'Monster Mash' of an experiment. --- We now have an Instagram!

Marty Supreme

We're back talking Marty Supreme — a frenetic, screwball sports-comedy from Josh Safdie anchored by an electrifying turn from Timothée Chalamet. Does this wild, ping-pong-fuelled odyssey stick the landing or fly off the table? Tune in to find out. --- We now have an Instagram!
