A mere 16 months after Nolan's blockbuster hit Batman Begins, he decided to take step back in time to create a twisted story about warring magicians at the turn of the century with a bit of historical fiction for good taste. The director stuck with Christian Bale (Batman) and Michael Kane (Alfred) but brought on Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) for good measure. With a smaller budget, smaller opening weekend, and smaller worldwide gross--audiences and critics left the theater (or never went) scratching their heads wondering why Nolan took a pit stop from the dark knight to create a long period piece. At the time audiences considered Batman Begins to be a far better movie, but time has been kind to this film; now, audiences view The Prestige the as 47th greatest film of all time. 14 years later do the twists and turns still enthrall Corbin and Allen or do they find the film just a bit stuffy? Join Corbin and Allen as they review The Prestige to find out!

3 years after the soft success of the murder-mystery remake of Insomnia, Nolan approached Warner Brothers with his idea of doing a Batman film. Considering Insomnia was produced by Warner Bros. and Nolan heard rumors they were looking to reboot the franchise after the abysmal Batman & Robin--the young director thought he could do it. Being Nolan's most expensive and highest profile film at the time--he had a lot to lose. Well...the rest is history folks. Batman Begins officially set Nolan on the map as the next greatest director of our time and thankfully his film scrubbed the bad taste out of everyone's mouth by bringing the caped crusader back into audiences good graces. 15 years later does the 7th theatrically released Batman film bring back all the nostalgia the 10 year old Allen and Corbin felt or is it just a fine installment in the long running series? Join Corbin and Allen as they review Batman Begins to find out!

Just a year after Nolan's sophomore, sleeper hit Memento made him a serious contender at the Oscars, his third film was given a much bigger budget and an Oscar winning cast. Backed by big time Hollywood hits George Clooney and Steven Soderbergh, Nolan directed a remake of a 5 year old Norwegian film of the same name and premise. Being the only film Nolan didn't write, receiving critical appraise but a lukewarm reception at the box office; this is one of the director's oft-forgotten about films. 18 years later should audiences wake up to go watch this film or is it best to let it sleep?

After Nolan's extreme indie hit, Following, him and his brother decided to adapt a short story his brother wrote titled Memento Mori. Following in the steps of Quentin Tarantino by telling a non-linear story, Nolan went even further by telling part of the story chronologically in black and white and the other half in color in reverse order. This brilliant, inventive method garnered him his first Academy Award nomination for Writing. Comfortably residing in the top 100 greatest films of all time, Nolan's sophomore sleeper hit isn't one audiences have forgotten. Join Corbin and Allen as they review Memento to find out how unforgettable this film truly is.

In early 1998, young 28 year old Christopher Nolan, debuted his first film, Following, to a few film festivals in the United States and the United Kingdom. He never went to film school but instead got his degree in English (just like co-host Corbin). He made his film for only $6,000 (an unheard of sum). At the time, no one had ever heard of him...today...he is considered one of the greatest filmmakers of his generation. Join Corbin and Allen as they embark on reviewing all 10 of Christopher Nolan's films, leading up to his "event" blockbuster this summer, Tenet. 22 years later, does young Nolan's first film hint at the genius to come or does its un-theatrical 70 minute length spell "amateur"? Join Corbin and Allen as they review Following to find out!
