In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Can't wait. Much as I love Nolans work, he needs to fecking redeem himself after that pile of sh*te Tenet.
I can’t wait to be deafened by music and sound effects and barely be able to hear dialogue.
Always had this gripe about Nolan movies as well. Always seems like I'm being smashed over the head with the music as though it's saying "LISTEN TO HOW DRAMATIC AND POIGNANT THIS IS! IT'S TIME TO FEEL SOMETHING NOW!".
Make me feel something with the actual drama, you prick.
His last two have been poor, I thought Dunkirk was dull considering the reality of that rescue mission.
Tenet was awful.
Past his prime so not expecting much
Hopefully he gets a second wind at some point

I can look beyond some of Dunkirks failings and still enjoy the film. Tenet, I watched for about 40 mins and turned off. Saying something that I actually bought it and still haven't finished it off.
He'll have a second wind when he stops being wedded to dicking around with time. Saying that, rarely do directors have a second wind thinking about it.
Tenet was easily his worst, hopefully this is a return to form.
Dunkirk isn't bad but it's incredibly boring.
Consider yourself lucky that you only wasted 40 minutes of your life of Tenet.
I think Tarantino did
The caf loves to write people off
Dunkirk is fine, arguably his best film since Inception.
I think Inception broke the speakers on my laptop
He's obsessed with time, granted.
More of a breeze than a wind i reckon.
So true. I watched Tenet in the cinema and I couldn't understand what was being said to save my life. Why does the sound have to be so horribly imbalanced?
I will probably watch it again in the future but with subtitles on and see if I grasp more of what's going on.
I'm a big fan of Nolan but I just don't get what the f*ck the sound department are thinking when they release the films. Who, where and why would anyone release films with such poor audio? I've messed around with sound settings for ages before realising the mixing itself is just broken.
people off
I like his movies. They’re at least trying something different. It’s better than endless reboots, sequels, fatiguing superhero movies, and pandering to nostalgic men.
One youtube video I watched said it was mixed for certain high quality sound systems at cinemas but transfered poorly to lower quality sound systems.
Still a failing by the audio department
Not the powdery substance that got into the speakers that broke them?
They need to sort their sh*t out then and realise most people will be normal folk with normal setups and it still sound sh*t at the cinema though HC. I've got a semi decent setup and it is a real struggle to sort it. Bugs the heck out of me because you end up having the film loads louder than you normally would.
Tenet was a great film. People who say otherwise are just stupid.
I agree, it's basically elitism
Personally I had no problems with the audio and thought Tenet was a good but not great film
You must have much younger and much better ears than mine
I'll dust my ear trumpet off for his new film.otherwise
I also live in an affluent and like-minded area with a cinema that has decent speakersYou must have much younger and much better ears than mine
that line has still got legsIf you thought gunfire and artillery was loud - what about an atomic bomb. Boom.
I love Nolan, but Tenet was terrible. Clever at times but the majority of the time it failed badly.
He's allowed a dud.

I preferred Dunkirk to Inception. Which was a red flag about his tendency to try to be too clever and end up with an absolutely nonsensical plot. A flaw that peaked with Tenet. At least Dunkirk made sense.
Well I went to see Tenet in a giant IMAX cinema and it still sounded like ass, think they just fecked it up
Not on the Caf he's not!
I really liked Dunkirk, and Tenet was average for me, but it does feel like his earlier stuff was much better.
Of course, starring Cillian Murphy
Does any other director have such clear favorites? Seems like he has made it a rule that at least one of Murphy, Tom Hardy and Michael Caine has to be in his movies.
