Episode 118: The crew’s celebrating The Dark Knight’s 10 year anniversary. It’s the box-office hit that made every Hollywood studio want a comic book property, it expanded the Academy’s Best Picture nominations from 5 to a possible 10 titles, and director Christopher Nolan became a household name (at least to nerds). Heath Ledger’s dark/funny performance of the Joker earned him a Best Supporting Actor Oscar after his death, which was only 7 months before the film released.

Episode 113: The crew’s playing patty cake as they continue their “Summer of ’88” retrospective series with, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The question mark is missing in the title because of a Hollywood superstition, titles with question marks perform poorly at the box office. The film was the biggest summer movie of 1988 without the correct punctuation, and inspired several live-action/animation films.

Episode 111: The crew’s discussing the first big screen studio comic book film, Superman: The Movie. The film had production problems, but director Richard Donner and crew made the film a box office hit, starting a franchise and genre that thrive today.
