Description

We never planned on picking the perfect April Fools’ Day movie. But when it features one of the biggest twist endings in cinema what can we say? Sometimes these things *~magically~* happen. We’re doing our best to unpack all the trickery and deception in The Prestige (2006). This Christopher Nolan masterpiece didn’t get as much love as some of his other blockbuster hits (although the hundreds of Reddit threads would tell you otherwise). If you’re anything like us, you only heard about it in passing or completely forgot the plot all together. Either way, there’s a ton to discuss on a new episode of Why the Flick? that explores real-life magician rivalries, fan theories about what’s real vs what’s illusion, and the sacrifices artists are willing to make for their obsessions.
