Aspect Radio #109: Interstellar, Nightcrawler, Birdman, Future of Pixar

Aspect Radio

Ben and Corey hop aboard Christopher Nolan’s deep space opus “Interstellar” starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain.

The guys get into only slight spoiler territory as they break down Nolan’s latest and perhaps most ambitious blockbuster and determine whether it lived up to their lofty expectations.

They also discuss writer/director Dan Gilroy’s Los Angeles-set comedy/thriller “Nightcrawler,” starring a brilliant Jake Gyllenhaal as a morally bankrupt crime journalist looking to conquer a competitive and dangerous industry.

The guys then hit director Alejandro González Iñárritu’s grim meta-comedy “Birdman,” starring Michael Keaton in a comeback role that may or may even outshine the film and what few consider a style-over-substance technical and immersive experience.

Finally, Ben and Corey spend some time on Pixar’s recent announcement that we’ll get “Toy Story 4,” among other sequels that Corey thinks defies the standard in original storytelling the animation studio set years ago.
