In this episode Andrew, Joel, and Steven review Christopher Nolan's The Prestige. Is this his best work? How well do two power house actors like Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman work together? Is this Jackman's greatest dramatic performance? Just how obsessed is Nolan with the idea of using 3 timelines to tell a story? Does seeing the magic behind the curtain diminish the film on a rewatch? Just how crazy are magicians anyways? We answer all these questions and more in this episode!
