In this episode, the guys devote the main topic to one of Cody's favorite films, The Prestige. Before preparing for this episode, neither of the guys knew that is was based on a novel by Christopher Priest (which is worth a read, even if you have seen the movie).

Before getting into the main topic, the guys talk about some of the media that they are taking in as well as update you all on the interesting stories going on in their lives. If you have anything interesting yourself you would like to add, feel free to contact the team and we will read your questions and stories within the podcast.

As the main topic of discussion shifts over to the Prestige, the guys share that this is one of Christopher Nolan's films that truly made them large fans of the filmmaker. It is a story told in such a way that is both perfect for film and the overall theme of the story. 

The Nolan brothers chose a great cast for this film, making it hard to imagine any other actors being able to portray the leading roles. In the midst of their discussion on the casting for the Prestige, the guys head down a rabbit trail that reveals to you, one of Zach's favorite actors, whom we are quite sure, you will not be able to guess who it is. 

Being the first blu ray disc that Cody ever had, it is something that he watched over and over again, getting to a point where he used to nearly mandate his friends watch it anytime they came over. However, with the high number of times Cody has seen the film, he still does not tire of watching it from time-to-time because of how well the movie is written and how the story is told. This is the first film that he credits, making him pay attention to the writers of films, and not just the big names who make the poster.

Zach wraps up the podcast sharing some funny stories of his younger years when he gave a crack at the illusionist trade. It's definitely worth hanging around for, although, he did not reveal his magician's stage name, which is disappointing.
