It is.
Joanna Robinson· Host0:22
And we decided to bring, uh... I consider you a friend even though we've never done a podcast together. [laughs] I'm just a huge fan of yours. So can you be a friend of a fan, a fan of a friend?

Joanna Robinson· Host0:32
Maybe.
Mallory Rubin· Host0:32
Yeah.
Joanna Robinson· Host0:32
So welcome.
Mallory Rubin· Host0:33
Always the highlight of my, my year, to get to pod together. [laughs] One of the things I look forward to most, whether it's about The Bachelor or a movie or football. Uh, wouldn't have been Friend of the Pod month without you.
Joanna Robinson· Host0:44

Mallory Rubin· Host0:44
Thank you.
Joanna Robinson· Host0:45
Thank you for joining us.
Mallory Rubin· Host0:46
Oh, thank you for giving me... You gave me, like, a solid choice, too- Yeah ... of Nolan movies.
Joanna Robinson· Host0:49
Yeah, yeah.
Mallory Rubin· Host0:50
And I- You got to pick which pod you wanted to do. It's true.
Joanna Robinson· Host0:52
Which, like, let's just be real, not everybody gets to pick.
Mallory Rubin· Host0:55
It's true. [laughs] And, and we said, "Hey, is there a Nolan movie of these remaining that you wanna do?" And you were like, "Hey, why not The Dark Knight?"
Joanna Robinson· Host1:02
Yeah.
Mallory Rubin· Host1:02
A little movie called The Dark Knight.
Joanna Robinson· Host1:03
It's a good choice.
Mallory Rubin· Host1:04
Which I feel is kind of lame- Nope ... because it's, like, being given- No ... a choice of the most popular... I mean, I- Listen ... I, I made the obvious choice here, right?
Joanna Robinson· Host1:12
You didn't wanna do Oppenheimer is what you're saying.
Mallory Rubin· Host1:14
[laughs] The Dark... I mean, I guess I'll just say it. This is my favorite Nolan movie. So- There you go ... Prestige is close.
Joanna Robinson· Host1:19
Yes.
Mallory Rubin· Host1:20
I, those- One of the big three.
Joanna Robinson· Host1:21
Yes, yeah ...
Mallory Rubin· Host1:21
those are kind of 1A, 1B for me.
Joanna Robinson· Host1:22
Yeah.
Mallory Rubin· Host1:23
But this is my favorite, so when you gave me the choice, I was- It was an easy one ... like, I'm just gonna choose my fav- Yes ... the best movie.
Joanna Robinson· Host1:28
Fantastic.
