RBR #121: "The Prestige: Nolan’s Best Twist - and His Pettiest Movie Ever"

For this episode, the latest in our series on the films of Christopher Nolan, we’re diving into The Prestige — the movie that proves Nolan can turn two magicians battling it out for “Most Extra” into a work of art. Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale destroy their lives for a trick, but it’s the kind of destruction that makes you think, “Maybe I should be that obsessed with something.” We’re here to praise Nolan’s genius, David Bowie’s perfect cameo, and the mind games at play. No, we still don’t fully get the ending, but wow — what a ride.

Warning: Contains deep admiration for The Prestige's intricate layers, confusing plot twists, and the sheer audacity of its brilliance.
