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.

Put away your swords and sandals, we are done with the Roman roots of The Dark Knight and now we are on to a more traditional study of the influences and experience of watching the movie as George: Experienced Movie Watcher.
Will George remember the actor from Heat that makes an appearance in The Dark Knight (as the same character, essentially?) Will Travis manage to stay one step ahead of Dan in Post? Will Dan manage to connect the Dark Knight to a Giallo after all? There's only one way to find out!
We reference a few videos toward the end, as we discuss the origins of the Joker voice. The interview discussed is found here:
