84: Dunkirk, Christopher Nolan & Tom Hardy’s Disappointed Parents

In this episode, Joe and Adam take on the paradox that is Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk - a stunning, cinematic powerhouse of a flick with an all-timer score from Hans Zimmers, and yet somehow… forgotten?

The guys consider Nolan, Sir Christopher - are people out to get him or is that all in Adam’s head?

They also tackle the tricky topic of patriotism in war films - is it a problem here, or does Nolan stick the landing? Meanwhile, Tom Hardy gets a phone call from his disappointed parents.

Plus, Joe’s homegrown Kevin Bacon game, alongside the classic Box Office game and the all-important Picking Next Week’s Film game.

You can also follow Adam on Letterboxd @errorofways; he rates and reviews the films he watches. The comments section is a very cool place to be.

Also, be a pal: tell your chums, rate us, review us, shout our name into the void - whatever helps spread the word.

Welcome to the home of forgotten films. Each week, Joe Devine & Adam Richmond discuss a different film that they’ve seen before, but forgotten existed. They discuss cinema, memory, culture and history - as well as play silly games about cheese, budgets, and re-casting.

Listeners needn’t have seen the film, but are welcome to watch (or re-watch) before episodes for a different perspective. And at the end of each show, Adam & Joe read out forgotten film lists to each other, to find the film that becomes the focus for next week’s episode.
