2/18/2021

 
Picture
BWAAAAAM!!!!!

"Inception" barrels in this week just like a train at an intersection. With DiCaprio and Christopher Nolan's only collaboration to date, your Houselights hosts dissect what's real, what isn't, and what's good.

21 - The Dark Knight

2/11/2021

 
Picture
​This week your hosts discuss what is arguably the greatest superhero #film of all time! 

Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" flew into theaters, broke box office records, and was a great story on top of it.

2/4/2021

 
Picture

18 - Insomnia

1/21/2021

 
Picture
When you think Christopher Nolan, you don't immediately think of "Insomnia" starring Al Pacino, Robin Williams, and Hillary Swank. 

This week, your Houselights crew analyzes why this does and doesn't feel like a Nolan film.

17 - Memento

1/14/2021

 
Picture
​Memento is Nolan's second directorial work and it's a huge upgrade from his first. Costing less than $10m to make and earning back almost four times that. This story told in reverse continued the non-linear trend that Nolan will keep for most of his career. Tons of film students thought it was the greatest movie ever but what did you think?

16 - Following

1/7/2021

 
Picture
​Switching directors to the one and only Christopher Nolan. We explore his first feature film "Following." Joel Schumacher saw this film and knew great things were coming from Nolan. Did you when you watched it?

Episode 15 - Mank

12/10/2020

 
Picture
​We top off our journey through David Fincher's directorial works with his first streaming motion picture: Mank. This movie is his first motion picture in six years since Gone Girl, a stark contrast in themes, subject matter, and accessibility. Following the life of Herman Mankiewicz and primarily his path to writing Citizen Kane. Please join us as we dissect this throwback to the golden age of Hollywood. Did you get the feeling of Mank's life when you watched or was it too riddled with inaccuracies?
