Poor George. He's never seen any movies. Rather than mourn their dear friend, Travis and Dan have taken it upon themselves to show him what he is missing. But they don't stop at showing him famous movies! They also help George to understand how each film fits into the Great Narrative of Film. Not only THAT the film of the week is significant, but WHY and HOW. Also, they make jokes and stuff.

Troy Howarth returns to The Remedial Film Class Podcast for his first non-italian (and non-horror) film discussion. As we trace the roots of Nolan's film The Dark Knight, we begin with an early heist noir movie from a fresh faced upstart filmmaker who very shortly would go on to the highest artistic plane. Stanley Kubrick is no stranger to the show, and George is no stranger to his later works, but will Dan convince the guys that this film school classic is worthy of discussion in the same sentence as The Shining, Dr. Stranglove and The Dark Knight?
Will George catch the nuance of the "proto-Kubrickian" camera work? Will he recognize Dix Handley himself, Sterling Hayden? Will he at least recognize the Joker's mask from the robbery scene? Will Travis be won over by a swearing Parrot? Will Troy buy Dan's rather specific theories on John Carpenter movies? Did Dan just find someone that agrees with him on film scoring method? Tune in to find out!
