Together, we are finally reviewing Charlie Kaufman's latest film, "I'm Thinking Of Ending Things."

"Tenet" Sep 03, 2020

Show notes

It's finally here. After months of delays and anticipation, the newest Christopher Nolan film is here for (most) people to see in the cinema on the largest screen possible with a sound system so loud, it threatens to drown out all of the dialogue. Let the discourse begin! This is our review of "Tenet" starring John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki & Kenneth Branagh. For this review, I am joined by Ryan C. Showers, Daniel Howat and Cody Dericks. We discuss the film's intricate (and sometimes highly confusing) screenplay, Nolan's large-scale ambition, the time-inverted visual effects, the performances and more! Disagree with our takes? Well, in the words of Christopher Nolan...Try not to understand them. Feel them. Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
