    Christopher and Jonathan Nolan pulled off one of the greatest magic tricks in film history with their ambitious adaptation of Christopher Priest’s novel. In episode 312, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they try to crack the code, get philosophical about duplication, let Christian Bale teach them about sacrifice, marvel at Hugh Jackman’s showmanship, hold Cutter accountable for safety failures, and consider all the dark places obsession can take you. The finish out by casting their votes on which is ultimately the better version: the book or the movie!
