If you didn't get a chance to see Interstellar in IMAX, Christopher Nolan's science fiction epic is heading back to the really big screen for one showing this Saturday. And despite what you may think of the movie overall, Interstellar is objectively gorgeous — especially on IMAX.

With that news item in mind, The Playlist found this recording of a talk between Nolan and Rian Johnson (Looper, Star Wars: Episode VIII), which took place January 3rd at Aero Theatre in Santa Monica (caution: spoilers). The audio is a bit rough, but if you're willing to focus, the two filmmakers talk at length and in detail about making the film, from his involvement early on through production and sound design. It's decidedly behind-the-scenes, which is great. (While you're at it, you might enjoy SlashFilm's look at the differences between Interstellar's original script and the final product.)

For a taste of what you're missing visually, here's a small video clip from the event:
