There's an endless amount of this shit in movies made between 2010 and 2020.I thought this was a pretty good episode.
When they brought up the Chinese pandering, made me remember the stupid arks that the CCP was building in the 2012 movie. I'd be curious to go back and look at his other films to see how much was tied to that market.
See to me that was my least favorite part of the show. At least with Mack it felt like he was riding high on coke and just wanted to be there. With Jack it felt like a guest shot on the Murray show. They had to talk about what he was up to and keep bringing up that he was working with Nolan. And this giving him a script thing felt like how they decided to do it. It felt like a gag on a late night talk show which isn't RLM, to me.Lol'd pretty hard at the 'everyone gives Jack a Script' running gag.
They should follow it up with some fake trailers for the scripts: "From the acclaimed director of The Dark Knight and Inception comes a masterpiece for a new generation of film lovers! Presenting: Christopher Nolan's "Top Hat Monkey Goes West"! Filmed in IMAX!"
I got the exact opposite of that out of it. Total mockery of all involved, including Quaid and Nolan. Ya, it was a scripted gag rather than something 'spontaneous', but who cares if it's funny? Unlike the Mac stuff which was mostly cringe. Plus, Jay doing that totally deadpan near-idiot voice that he uses (mostly) during the Nerd Crew episodes just slays me.See to me that was my least favorite part of the show.

Don't get me wrong, Jack was good and the show was good, I lol'ed. It was just the first time it felt so blatantly...commercial, for lack of a better term, and I don't like that as much, but it's all subjective.
