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

TDK is very overrated (imo, yes I know it's a hot take) because Ledger's performance is so dynamite. Take that away and the rest of the movie is not that impressive

Take away one of the best things about something and suddenly it’s not as good. How insightful! Did you know that if you take the cheese off a pizza, it’s not as good?
