Ben & Rob toss & turn over Christopher Nolan’s 2002 hit ‘Insomnia’, starring Al Pacino, Robin Williams and Hillary Swank.

But does Christopher Nolan telling a story in linear order rob the audience of his trademark? Can Robin WIlliams play a calculating killer without comedy? And has all the porn gone from this nation’s traintracks? Find out all this and more! CONSUUUME!
