About The Aspiring Cinephile

Join me, Zach Watts, on my journey to become a true cinephile. Each week there will be a topic centered around movies, whether it's working through a personal List of Shame (movies that I have not seen that I'm ashamed to admit), having a guest on to talk about broader topics, lists (lists are fun!), and much more!

Christopher Nolan Deep-Dive

On this episode I take a dive into the work of celebrated filmmaker Christopher Nolan. I've always considered him to be one of my favorite directors - so I really enjoyed diving into his movies again for this episode. I start off by talking about Nolan's life and some fun facts I found (2:54). Then I try to identify what specifically defines Nolan's style as a filmmaker (9:56) and I end the episode with a definitive Aspiring Cinephile ranking of Nolan's filmography (21:45).

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
