#785: Interstellar (Nolan #7) / Palm Springs / Relic

July 17, 2020 / Guest User

In Christopher Nolan's INTERSTELLAR, Matthew McConaughey's Cooper battles the forces of quantum physics (and regular old physics) to save humanity. In the new existential romantic comedy PALM SPRINGS, Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti also have to navigate some quantum physics (the Groundhog Day variety) to save themselves and find some meaning in existence. Reviews of both films, plus Josh's recommendation of the new horror film RELIC.
