About this episode
The episode discusses the complexities and themes of Christopher Nolan's film Tenet.
Naturally, Bryan, Preston, Dan, and Chelsea tackle the questions that Nolan either intentionally raised or accidentally unleashed upon humanity. What does Tenet actually mean? Why does every explanation somehow require a flowchart? Can human beings learn to invert themselves through concentration alone? And if time truly begins moving backward, are we prepared for the biological implications of backward pooping? The post Episode #161 – Tenet (2020) first appeared on Boomstick Comics .
