The Decision to Go R Rated on the Dark Knight

Christopher Nolan joins ReelBlend for an interview featuring behind-the-scenes stories from the making of Oppenheimer (starring Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr.), how his journey with IMAX has grown since The Dark Knight, idolizing Sir Ridley Scott, whether or not he plans to retire early and more. 

Our review of the film will be held until its theatrical release next week. That episode will also feature our interview with Barbie's director Greta Gerwig, so stay tuned to our feed for more. 

This week, we feature our review of Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1. Does the film continue the franchise's staggering streak of great action flicks or does it fall short?
