Every podcast consists of three parts, or acts. The first part is called the pledge, and that’s where I tell you that this week on Left of the Projector, we are dipping into the filmography of Christopher Nolan with his 2006 film The Prestige. That’s the ordinary part of this episode. The second act is called the Turn. That’s where I tell you all the amazing actors in this episode from the great David Bowie, to Hugh Jackson, Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Scartlett Johansson, Rebecca hall and andy serkis. This is where we take the ordinary and tell you we are going to do something extraordinary. We have Alexa Speed as our guest today, whom you may know from her page Cut off the Spigot… And now, though, we have to deliver the 3rd act, the hardest part…the part we call the Prestige… Guest Links Official Cut Off the Spigot Site Cut Off the Spigot on Instagram Left of the Projector Links Official Website Left of the Projector on Instagram Left of the Projector on Patreon Left of the Projector on Threadless Host Links Evan's Letterboxd Bill's Instagram Bill's Letterboxd Ward's Instagram Ward's Letterboxd","meta_description":"Are you listening closely?
