Upside down. Three levels down. A dream within a dream within a podcast as #NolanClub continues with Christopher Nolan’s 2010 black slate smash hit that redefined films, Inception! Jason and Ashley explore the dream-bending tale of a man fighting his dreams (or nightmares?), played by Leonardo Dicaprio and series of Dark Knight trilogy staples: Joseph Gondon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, Marion Cotillard, Michael Caine, and Ken Wantanabe, who take Nolan's affection for a non-linear storyline to new heights. Together we unpack the layers of this cinematic dream and examine why Inception has been copied for years to come.
