Cold War espionage and spycraft is the name of the game on today’s episode. Jake and Marshall take a look at how much Christopher Nolan drew on influences like Alfred Hitchcock and John le Carré for Tenet, Nolan’s version of a James Bond film.
Here you’ll find a look at Hitchcock’s North by Northwest and how it led to the Bond film franchise, as well as a close reading of the ins and outs of the spy trade in le Carré’s novel The Night Manager.
Grab your headphones and have a listen. Or, in the spirit of Tenet, maybe you’ve already listened, and you just don’t know it.
