  • “Scratches my brain”

    I really want to respect jack’s opinion but anyone that uses the same slightly uncomfortable metaphor in every single show about Nolan needs some broadcasting training. It doesn’t make him sound as intelligent as he seems to think

Q: What about the casting process and audition experience for the two leads?
