Turns out, Christopher Nolan knows The Ballad of Ricky Bobby well.

During the Oppenheimer press tour, the acclaimed director was a guest on The Rich Eisen Show when he was asked what his "remote drop movie" was. In other words, the movie that makes him drop the remote and keep watching when he's channel surfing and sees it on TV.

Starting with an expected response of acclaimed director Stanley Kubrick (telling EW of his admiration of the director in 2013), Nolan added that "some of the great comedies, too" are remote drops for him, citing Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby as his prime example. "I'm never gonna be able to switch that up," he said of the Adam McKay-directed comedy, which stars Will Ferrell as the titular NASCAR superstar.
