Now Playing Podcast surveys the films of Christopher Nolan, from the microbudget puzzle of Following and the breakout mind-bender Memento to studio thrillers like Insomnia, the magical rivalry of The Prestige, the dream-stacked spectacle of Inception, the space-bound ambition of Interstellar, the war immersion of Dunkirk, the historical biopic scale of Oppenheimer, and yes, the Dark Knight trilogy that reshaped comic book cinema.

Our hosts break down every ticking clock, every moral dilemma, and every booming score cue. And we promise the dialogue in our podcasts is more clear than several of Nolan's films.
