Episode 27: “Oppenheimer” 4K Release
We’re back! It’s a holiday miracle. On this episode, Jake and Marshall are talking all about the most anticipated physical media release of the year: Oppenheimer on 4K Blu-ray.
The title quickly sold out at multiple outlets, but we each managed to get a copy so we could take a gander at all those sweet, sweet bonus features. Topics covered this episode include the importance of physical media (always), Spotify Wrapped stats from our listeners, and our favorite bonus features on the Blu-ray.
(Audio quality note: Due to a recording issue there is a faint, intermittent echo on Marshall’s track.)

About Friends at Dusk: A Christopher Nolan Filmography Podcast
"We live in a twilight world." "And there are no friends at dusk." No friends at dusk… unless those friends are making a podcast.
Jake and Marshall revisit the filmography of Christopher Nolan, using Tom Shone’s "The Nolan Variations" as a framework for discussing every Nolan feature from "Following" to "Tenet," leading up to the 2023 release of "Oppenheimer." Along the way, they also examine some of the books, stories, and films the director himself cited as influences on his work, ideas, and methods.
