The Prestige (2006) - Nolan's Best Hat Trick

Reel DMC

Abra-cadabra! The Real DMC emerges from a puff of smoke and a field littered with top hats to dive deep into Christopher Nolan’s twisty tale of dueling magicians, The Prestige. Join Dave, Marcus, and Colin as they bicker like rival illusionists, debate Victorian mustache disguises, and wonder aloud if cloning yourself for a magic trick counts as murder (asking for a friend). There will be spoilers, there will be magic, and there will definitely be confusion about accent choices.

Is Hugh Jackman the ultimate showman or just obsessed enough to drown for applause? Is Christian Bale a master of subtlety or just really, really bad at relationships? Did David Bowie as Tesla invent the iPhone? Why does nobody in this movie question picking the dude in a fake mustache three nights in a row? 

With sharp wit, heated debates, and more Michael Caine impressions than should be legally allowed, the gang dissects one of Nolan’s most complicated and cleverly constructed brain-benders. If you're still wondering what knot was tied, this episode is a must-listen—though we strongly recommend watching the movie first (unless you like having the magic revealed).
