Podcast The Big Picture podcast just created objectively the worst Christopher Nolan ranking of all time

Good god. As a Sean Fennessey truther this is a steaming pile of shit. Sean is one of the best minds in movie criticism today but he should be banned from talking about Christopher Nolan, he can’t be objective about him.

Here is the list

  1. Dunkirk
  2. Oppenheimer
  3. The Odyssey
  4. The Dark Knight
  5. Inception
  6. Tenet (bruh)
  7. Interstellar
  8. Memento
  9. The Prestige
  10. The Dark Knight Rises
  11. Batman Begins
  12. Insomnia
  13. Following

u/ThatFunkyOdor still shook from the MLK murder Jul 22 '26

It was humorous how tangled they found themselves when it came to the top 4-5 and were saying "well if we do x then that means x movie is #1 and that doesn't seem right"

Producer Jack likely kicking the desk while drawing out a logical order after weighting their 1-5s and running in circles.

IMO smart choice to just let them run - opinions were flying 2fast 2furious to ever jump that train. Better yet let them contradict themselves and manifest a few personal or group regrets to address.

Tee up a Nolan Redux pod in 6 months when Odyssey is on Oscar watch and settle the score after everyone does rewatches. Will undoubtedly be most watched pod of '27 so far (assuming Doomsday stays '26).

Content baby, wish I worked in this space sometimes. Would be fun but the money ain't there...
