Christopher Nolan took over The Late Show last night with a lengthy sit-down interview with host Stephen Colbert. The pair discussed Oppenheimer, the director’s Oscar-nominated film, as well as his other work, including the divisive Tenet.
“Some people say they don’t understand Tenet,” Colbert said. “Some people say they don’t understand everything in Tenet. Do you understand everything in Tenet?”
“You’re not meant to understand everything in Tenet,” Nolan replied. “It’s not all comprehensible. It’s a bit like asking if I know what happens...

Christopher Nolan and Peloton are on a bit of a break. The Oppenheimer director discussed his recent fitness activity at the 2024 Golden Globes after speaking out about a Peloton instructor who bashed his movie, Tenet, during a workout class.
“Nothing but love for Peloton,” Nolan said in the Globes’ press room when asked if he’d seen instructor Jenn Sherman’s response to his initial comments. “But I did not climb on it today. I might just skip it for a little while.”
Nolan’s Peloton saga first began during his speech at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards last week. “I was on my Peloton doing a high-interval workout. I’m dying,” he told the crowd. “The instructor started talking about one of my films and said, ‘Has anyone else seen this? Because that’s a couple hours of my life I’ll never get back again.'...

Christopher Nolan has begun his healing journey with fitness brand Peloton after one of the acclaimed director’s instructors dissed his movie “Tenet” during a workout class.
“Nothing but love for Peloton,” Nolan told Variety backstage at Sunday’s Golden Globes ceremony, when asked if he saw instructor Jenn Sherman’s apology for taking issue his 2020 the sci-fi film’s byzantine plot. “But I did not climb on it today. I might just skip it for a little while.”
The odds of Nolan himself coming across a four-year-old recorded class has charmed the internet for days. The director received something of a consolation prize by claiming best director at the Globes — his first win in the category — where “Oppenheimer” also dominated across major film awards. Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. took best actor and best supporting actor in a motion picture drama, respectively, and the film claimed best score and best motion picture drama.

Is Christopher Nolan ready to get back on the bike after being exposed to the Tenet criticism of Peloton instructor Jenn Sherman?
Unclear, following his comments backstage at tonight’s Golden Globes. “Nothing but love for the Peloton, but I did not climb on it today, this is true,” the Oppenheimer filmmaker deadpanned when asked if he’d heard about Sherman’s apology. “I might just skip it for a little while, but thank you for your concern.”
Nolan first brought up his Peloton class encounter with Sherman’s Tenet trash talk earlier this week, while accepting the award for Best Director from the New York Film Critics Circle. “I was on my Peloton doing a high-interval workout. I’m dying,” he recalled in his acceptance speech. “The instructor started talking about one of my films [later discovered to be Tenet] and said, ‘Has anyone else seen this?

Peloton instructor Jenn Sherman is trying to make amends for dissing Christopher Nolan’s film, Tenet, in a workout video that he was attending.
Sherman is now inviting Nolan to take one of her classes “insult-free.” The cyclist posted a video on Instagram in response to finding out that Nolan took her class from December 2020 and heard her comments.
“Huge day for me when I come to find out that the one and only Christopher Nolan, one of the leading filmmakers of the 21st century, knows who the hell I am. I was excited…and then I read the article,” she began.
Sherman apologized for saying Tenet was “two and a half hours of my life that I want back.”
“Listen, it was 2020. It was a dark time. I’m up on the platform teaching my little class and I’m running my mouth off, like I’m known to do.

Jenn Sherman, the Peloton instructor who made headlines Thursday after Christopher Nolan recalled comments she made about Tenet during a Peloton class he took, has responded and invited the director to join her in the Peloton Studio.
“Huge day for me when I come to find out that the one and only Christopher Nolan, one of the leading filmmakers of the 21st century, knows who the hell I am,” Sherman said in a video posted to her Instagram.
Continuing, Sherman said she only realized after reading headlines that Nolan’s mention of her was referring to a class in which she criticized his 2020 film Tenet.
“This song is from a soundtrack of a movie called Tenet,” Sherman tells the class in a clip that surfaced online. “Anybody see this shit? Did anybody see this besides me? Because I need a manual. Someone’s got to explain this. Yeah, I’m not kidding,...

Turns out, Christopher Nolan’s Peloton instructor is indeed an “Oppenheimer” fan, despite not enjoying “Tenet.”
Just two days after Nolan joked during the New York Film Critics Circle awards that his Peloton cycling instructor slammed “Tenet” in 2020, teacher Jenn Sherman officially responded in an Instagram video.
“I may not have understood a minute of what was going on in ‘Tenet,'” Sherman said. “That shit went right over my head. But I have seen ‘Oppenheimer’ twice and that’s six hours of my life I don’t ever want to give back.”
Sherman noted that her “Tenet” critique was said in a “dark time” of 2020 lockdown, and invited director Nolan to attend one of her classes now.
“Oppenheimer” auteur Nolan said while onstage at the 2024 New York Film Critics Circle awards that his Peloton instructor (without naming Sherman) “shit” on “Tenet.”

Christopher Nolan recalls his Peloton instructor’s diss of ‘Tenet’ while he was working out with her
Auteur Christopher Nolan, who is known for ‘The Dark Knight’ trilogy, ‘Interstellar’, ‘Dunkirk’ and others, narrated an incident when his instructor, Jenn Sherman dissed his film.
While accepting the award for Best Director from the New York Film Critics Circle, Nolan said: “I was on my Peloton doing a high-interval workout. I’m dying. The instructor started talking about one of my films (later discovered to be ‘Tenet’) and said, ‘Has anyone else seen this? Because that’s a couple hours of my life I’ll never get back again’,” reports Deadline.
Nolan went on to use the anecdote as a way to tout the professionalism of the assembled film critics. “When (film critic) Rex Reed takes a s— on your film, he doesn’t ask you to work out,” Nolan joked.
“In today’s world, where opinions are everywhere, there is a sort of idea that film criticism is being democratised.

Christopher Nolan recently recounted an unexpected encounter with a critic of his work while accepting the award for best director at the New York Film Critics Circle ceremony. The filmmaker told the room that his Peloton instructor suddenly called out his sci-fi film “Tenet” mid-workout, saying “that’s a couple hours of my life I’ll never get back again.”
Jenn Sherman, who was the first cycling instructor hired by Peloton, has now posted a response to Nolan’s speech, voicing her awe and appreciation that the director takes her classes, even if the revelation comes under somewhat awkward circumstances

Christopher Nolan knows all about film critics in Hollywood, but it’s safe to say he didn’t expect to hear criticism during a workout class.
While accepting the award for best director from the New York Film Critics Circle on Wednesday, the Oppenheimer filmmaker recalled when a Peloton instructor caught him by surprise, sharing her critical thoughts on one of his films.
“I was on my Peloton doing a high-interval workout. I’m dying,” Nolan said during his acceptance speech. “The instructor started talking about one of my films and said, ‘Has anyone else seen this?

“Tenet” director Christopher Nolan is being showered with awards for “Oppenheimer,” but he revealed that he knows not everyone’s a fan of his films during an acceptance speech for Best Director at the New York Film Critics Circle on Thursday.
During a virtual Peloton class during the early Covid lockdown period, Nolan said, the instructor spent a chunk of the workout trashing one of his movies.
“I was on my Peloton. I’m dying. And the instructor started talking about one of my films and said, ‘Did anyone see this? That’s a couple hours of my life I’ll never get back again!’” Nolan said.
He added, “When [film critic] Rex Reed takes a s–t on your film, he doesn’t ask you to work out! In today’s world, where opinions are everywhere, there is a sort of idea that film criticism is being democratized — but I for...

Unless you’re getting a shout-out from an instructor, chances are quite slim that you’ll hear your name mentioned during a Peloton session… unless you’re Christopher Nolan.
While accepting the Best Director award from the New York Film Critics Circle for Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan revealed he found an unlikely critic while using his Peloton. “I was on my Peloton. I’m dying. And the instructor started talking about one of my films and said, ‘Did anyone see this? That’s a couple hours of my life I’ll never get back again!’” Nolan said. “When [film critic] Rex Reed takes a shit on your film he doesn’t ask you to work out! In today’s world, where opinions are everywhere, there is a sort of idea that film criticism is being democratized, but I for one think the critical appreciation of films shouldn’t be an instinct but it should be a profession.

You’ve heard of personal trainers. But how about a very personal trainer who disses your work while you’re exercising with her?
Christopher Nolan knows about the latter. While accepting the award for Best Director from the New York Film Critics Circle on Wednesday night, Nolan related one particularly unexpected broadside.

Shared grievances can bind people together for life, which is why nothing brings people together quite like complaining. During a recent virtual workout on Peloton, one of the cycling instructors enacted this great bonding agent — but it came at the cost of inadvertently making one session attendee the subject of their grumbling: Christopher Nolan.

Everyone’s a critic — including Christopher Nolan’s very own Peloton instructor, apparently. At a ceremony for the New York Film Critics Circle, Nolan used his acceptance speech for the best director prize to comment on his appreciation for film criticism — and to share a hilarious anecdote.
Speaking on his “complex emotional relationship with critics and criticism,” Nolan highlighted the importance of film criticism as a profession in a world where seemingly everyone now has an opinion to share. The Oppenheimer director then cheekily brought up a moment in which a Peloton instructor canned one of his own films during a workout, apparently unaware that he was in the class. Nolan did not specify which film found its way onto the chopping block, but Paste Magazine movies editor Jacob Oller uncovered the clip in question: it’s of Jenn Sherman ripping Tenet.
