Posted by fatbologna on July 15th, 2010ahahah good to see that you guys finally found this lost episode
Posted by Napalm on July 15th, 2010YES! I was searching for this. Thanks guys.
Posted by Billy Boyd Cape on July 15th, 2010YES FINALLY, Thank you for posting this thing
Posted by Juan on July 15th, 2010there is a god!!!
Posted by Werner on July 15th, 2010Lol I actually believed y´all was playing everyone but my my, it does exist.
Posted by pcch7 on July 15th, 2010Haha wow you guys must have a lot of time on your hands these days! Cool to see that you “found” this episode.
Posted by Tomoo on July 15th, 2010Lol, I thought they were playing everyone too.
Posted by RaphNL on July 15th, 2010fyi, when they were filming The Dark Knight here in Chicago I watched Nolan work for a day (the entire opening took place literally outside my condo building) and Nolan looked like that photo the whole time – dapper, calm and cool. Interesting, when I watched Micheal Bay work on T3 here and he is running around like a madman and screaming at folks. shows in their work, you think?
Posted by rus in chicago on July 15th, 2010Well now I’m really fucking confused. When did this happen? I thought it was a joke
Posted by Henrik on July 15th, 2010NICE!
Posted by Niklas on July 15th, 2010Thanks Sean
Posted by chris on July 15th, 2010I really thought this was going to run and string along ad infinitum, but here we are. I’m glad it “turned up”. Timely too. Well, I’ve lost one of my favorite dry laughs of the podcast, but look forward to listening to it.
Posted by Ranger Tom on July 15th, 2010Jay: It is what it is.
Greg: Don’t make that your catchphrase.
Jay: I won’t.
Greg: Thanks.
Haha, good listen. Man, when did this episode happen?
Posted by Primal on July 15th, 2010I think I’m back to thinking this is fake!
Posted by Henrik on July 15th, 2010HAHA the famous Christopher Nolan Special.
Posted by Matt on July 15th, 2010It’s okay, Henrik. My brain exploded too. I’m far too gullible for this shit. -_-
Posted by Falsk on July 15th, 2010Henrik, your one of the earliest listener’s to the podcast, and you actually think it’s an “old” episode? lol. It’s just another brilliant move by the FJ crew.
Posted by rjdelight on July 15th, 2010Damn it!!! I was hopeing it would never come for some reason ugg ok…
Posted by Theman on July 15th, 2010Oh, didn’t catch the intro, July 2008 makes sense based on the other stuff you talked about in the episode.
Posted by Primal on July 15th, 2010Nice. I just rewatched Insomnia recently. Probably his weakest but since he or his brother weren’t involved in the writing and it was a remake I suppose that makes sense. Nolan might just be the most solid movie maker in terms of doing the big but fun and dare I say “intellectual” movies of the day.
Posted by Ian on July 15th, 2010rjdelight, I just would have never thought they would go to this much trouble. It blows my mind that Greg is on this yet never on the regular podcast anymore! The sound quality is probably the big give-away though.
Posted by Henrik on July 15th, 2010The greatest trick Film Junk ever pulled was convincing the world that the Christopher Nolan Special didn’t exist. Maybe Film Junk will pull another fast one on us and Reed will appear on the Inception podcast. Here’s hoping.
Posted by Film Ape on July 15th, 2010Ha, I KNEW it was fake! Can you guys make Santa retro-actively real as well?
Posted by Bas on July 15th, 2010It is clearly a fake mainly the sound quality giving it away. Also the total shit “chased by a dog” story Jay made up because of that one email…oh and also Jay quizzing Greg on his age since he had to do the math to make it his age in ‘08. Other than that they played it incredibly straight faced, so good job gentlemen.
P.S. Can you please make a track suit comeback Jay?
Posted by Tomoo on July 15th, 2010WTF is it fake, or not?@!*%
Posted by rus in chicago on July 15th, 2010I like how there is now pretty much a mythology behind the film junk universe.
Posted by Drew on July 15th, 2010it can’t be fake, because then this is like a magic trick AND GREG F*CK’EN HATES MAGIC!!!!
Posted by rus in chicago on July 15th, 2010I don’t know what everyone is talking about it being a fake. There is an actual podcast we recorded, you can download it and listen to it. Therefore, NOT FAKE.
Posted by Sean on July 15th, 2010R U THE REAL SEAN OR THE FAKE SEAN???
Posted by rus in chicago on July 15th, 2010Film Junk is all in my mind; it’s a dream I live inside of. It isn’t real. It’s a dream that has been extracted by a bunch of crazy Canadians.
Glad this episode was uncovered, yo
Posted by Jim the Movie Freak on July 15th, 2010Good start…now let’s see the old Spacejunk’s with Roman and Chen! At least a torrent or something.
Posted by Snorfle on July 15th, 2010@Russ in Chicago,
That last comment was a touch of brilliance in this thread, sir.
Posted by Deven Science on July 15th, 2010Nice job Sean. I was going to devote some time to editing together a bunch of old episodes and clips into the Nolan special to be able to tout it and pass out on the boards, etc. but you’ve saved me much much time sir…… fuck now what do I do….
Posted by ThatJackBurton on July 15th, 2010I’d still like to hear your episode actually…
Posted by Sean on July 15th, 2010User submitted stuff is always amazing!
If anybody is looking for some good clips I’ve got some suggestions. I think Watchmen is a good episode to start pulling some stuff from!
Posted by Henrik on July 15th, 2010Hey, great that you finally put up a new link to this episode – people can stop asking me for a copy now! I guess now they’ll be after the Spielberg special, but I’m not sure I’d want to share that with anyone due to Sean’s potentially inflamatory remarks on it – some things are best left buried I feel (Switzerland my arse!!).
There was a pretty decent Nolan retrospective in Empire a couple of issues ago for those that are interested. They mention things such as the Batman logo in “Following” (they were using the actor’s actual room as a location I think, and he just happened to like Batman!).
Posted by Liney on July 16th, 2010I still think the P.T.Anderson special was better.
Posted by Juan Costrada on July 16th, 2010Thanks so much for going to the trouble of finding this Sean! I’m sure people have been bugging the hell out of you for it for awhile now
Posted by MattSmithsky on July 16th, 2010For a minute I thought Nuno (sp?) burst the bubble with the reference to Wolverine, but that was shot early in 2008. Imagine though if you had just recorded this podcast you could have included The Dark Knight and Inception!!!
Posted by Bas on July 16th, 2010It’s fake, based on the sound quality.
Posted by Shirko on July 16th, 2010But thanks for making one. I was one of those who whined about it.
WAIT! WHAT!? You guys have a P.T Anderson special? Where is it!?! I can’t find it in the podcast menu!! oooooooooooo!!
Posted by Shirko on July 16th, 2010WHERE IS THE PTA SPECIAL SEAN NONE OF US CAN FIND IT!!! Maybe you ca post that lost episode the week before The Master comes out. ;D
Posted by Drew on July 16th, 2010For some reason, certain episodes of Friends (with Courtney Cox in a fat suit) keep springing to mind!
)
Posted by Liney on July 17th, 2010good shit guys – the elusive Nolan episode!
Posted by Lucas_3d on July 17th, 2010what’s the next filmjunk urban legend?!
Never thought I’d see the day I’d be able to sit down and listen to the long lost Christopher Nolan Special.
Posted by OverArrow on July 18th, 2010bless this mess
