About this episode
Listeners, you either die a normal film podcast, or live long enough to see your show completely devolve into a Christopher Nolan marathon.Between Heath Ledger’s legendary turn as the Joker, Nolan’s transformation into an IMAX-first director, and the coolest truck crash in cinema history, there’s so much to explore in this sprawling behemoth of a picture. We went for nearly four hours on this one, and could easily do another four. THE DARK KNIGHT is (still!) just that good!!Next week, our Nolan era comes to a climactic finish with THE DARK KNIGHT RISES (2012).
