Chris Nolan needs to have a sit-down interview with you and Alex.
Thinking about it Teddy I'm quite suprised WB don't invite you and Alex to the press screening/Q&A for his films like they do with BOF and the Batman films.
WB give Teddy and Alex access to the screenings and Q&A for crying out loud

Nolan also credits the influence of Quentin Tarantino, who inspired him to do more reading. As del Toro notes, the ‘90s and early aughts became an era of neo-noir filmmaking, but out of that dense library of post modern femme fatales and gum shoes, “Memento,” years later, still has legs to stand on. “I think [these other neo-noirs] stem very much from Tarantino and his work in the nineties,” said Nolan “and certainly for me, I find his work really exciting and it pushed me to really read… I spent years reading crime fiction and I think if ‘Memento’ holds up a little better than some of the other neo-noir of the time, it’s probably because I found inspiration in books rather than movies,” noting how films drawing inspiration from their contemporaries, such as Tarantino, are not the ones to last “there’s a limit, particularly when Tarantino’s work is already ironic and already retro, so then you’re already reflecting on reflection if you’re looking at the movie’s sensibility. But I think he certainly inspired me to look into the literary origins of the genre.”
