Pop Screen kicks off a special month dedicated to the films of David Bowie with perhaps his last great role, as the enigmatic inventor Nikola Tesla in Christopher Nolan’s equally enigmatic thriller. A story of magic, revenge and dead wives (look, we said it was a Christopher Nolan film), it sees Bowie join a remarkable cast including Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Scarlett Johansson, Rebecca Hall, Andy Serkis and Gil from Frasier.
On this week’s show, Ewan from Cult Following joins us once more to get this Bowie celebration started, discussing the film’s superhero-heavy cast as well as his favourite Bowie albums, Bowie’s absence from (and return to) public life during the 21st century, Nolan’s love of serious men in suits, the genius of Andy Serkis and a story about Ewan accidentally injuring himself in the shower for some reason. It’s Pop Screen alright!
