## Resource

Reece Feldman, known online as Guy with a Movie Camera, joins Katey to talk about what he learned watching Christopher Nolan at work on The Odyssey, and why the film lives up to what would probably feel like an unbelievable amount of hype for any other movie. Then, Hacks co-creators Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs and Jen Statsky join to talk about how they decided it was time for the show to end and the particular joy they get in what might be the show's most surprising Emmy nomination — outstanding original music and lyrics. 00:00 Intro 01:06 Inside The Odyssey Set In Iceland 05:56 What Makes A Nolan Set Different 08:44 Emma Thomas And The Iceland Shoot 10:17 Why You Must See It In Imax 70Mm 15:22 The Performances That Stand Out 18:15 The Odyssey As Oppenheimer's Sister Film 19:14 Can Lightning Strike Twice At The Box Office 23:07 The Art Of Going Viral 26:03 Why Awards Still Matter 27:37 Ranking The Nolan Filmography 30:35 Next: 'Hacks' Co-Creators 32:02 Breaking The Emmy Nominations Record 34:51 Why Five Seasons Was Always The Plan 37:05 Why Paris Was Always The Endgame 38:29 Ai As The Villain Of The Season 42:09 The Academy Museum Screening 43:54 Bob Lipka And Tony Goldwyn's Range 47:37 Giving Marty, Dj And Marcus Their Endings 50:48 Writing From A Place Of Love 54:58 What Paul Will Miss About Jimmy 56:13 The Story Behind The Tejano Song ⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe today⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to Prestige Junkie After Party bonus episodes. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to the Prestige Junkie newsletter.  Follow Katey on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠L…
