Episode 21: “Dunkirk”

“All we did was survive.”

“That’s enough.”

This week on the pod, Jake and Marshall discuss all things Dunkirk: The script, the score, the spectacle, and the smaller moments that feel like spectacle. They also look at how this film succeeds at balancing its tone where Ryan’s Daughter fails. Come along for an episode about Nolan’s most contradictory film yet.
