Episode 60 - Following (Movie, 1998) Review

Entertainment of Excellence Podcast

In our 60th episode, we review Christopher Nolan's first feature film Following (1998). The plot follows aspiring writer Bill who follows people to discover more about their lives when he is taken under the wing of a burglar. Can we wrap our heads around the non-chronological order? What do we think of what was accomplished with the micro budget? Are there any recommendations? I already know, but you'll have to tune in to find out obviously.

We didn't have any submissions this week, but if you're a creator and want to have your work reviewed, message us!
