Jason Teasley and Mark Radulich review movies currently on streaming services: Wildcats/Draft Day/Any Given Sunday Movie Review! First up is Wildcats (1986). Then we move on to Draft Day (2014). Finally we review Any Given Sunday (1999).Wildcats is a 1986 American sports comedy film directed by Michael Ritchie and starring Goldie Hawn, James Keach and Swoosie Kurtz. It is the film debut of Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson.Draft Day is a 2014 American sports drama film directed by Ivan Reitman, and starring Kevin Costner and Jennifer Garner. The premise revolves around the fictional general manager of the Cleveland Browns (Costner) deciding what to do after his team acquires the number one draft pick in the upcoming National Football League Draft.The film premiered in Los Angeles on April 7, 2014 and was released in the United States on April 11, 2014. It received mixed reviews from critics and was a box office failure grossing only $29 million against its $25 million budget. The film was Reitman's final directorial effort and Jim Brown's final acting role before their deaths in 2022 and 2023 respectively.Any Given Sunday is a 1999 American sports drama film directed by Oliver Stone depicting a fictional professional American football team. The film features an ensemble cast that includes Al Pacino, Cameron Diaz, Dennis Quaid, Jamie Foxx, James Woods, LL Cool J, Ann-Margret, Lauren Holly, Matthew Modine, John C. McGinley, Charlton Heston, Bill Bellamy, Lela Rochon, Aaron Eckhart, Elizabeth Berkley, and NFL players Jim Brown and Lawrence Taylor.It is partly based on the 1984 novel On Any Given Sunday by NFL defensive end Pat Toomay; the title is derived from a line in the book (also used in the film), that a team can win or lose on "any given Sunday", said by the fictitious coach Tony D'Amato. The quote was originally derived from a statement made in 1952 by then-NFL commissioner Bert Bell, about the league's devotion to financial and competitive parity.Cameo roles also feature many former American football players, including Dick Butkus, Y. A. Tittle, Pat Toomay, Warren Moon, Johnny Unitas, Ricky Watters, Emmitt Smith and Terrell Owens, as well as coach Barry Switzer.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59
Episode 132 dissects the groundbreaking football film that broke all the rules with the 1999 Oliver Stone classic Any Given Sunday! Starring Al Pacino, Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz, we go full blitz on the movie that did everything it could to peel back the curtain to show what it takes charge from the locker room to the gridiron to the Super Bowl... or Pantheon Cup.Is it the best football movie of all time? Is Tony D'Amato actually a good coach? Where does his pregame speech rank in the history of speeches? What's the most 1999 thing about the movie? Was Christina Pagniacci a shrewd or savvy team owner? Did Willie Beamen change the game for QBs? And who was the movie's MVP, 6th Man, and who was the "practice squad player" that we could we have done without?We tackle it all - GAME TIME!See the Video Podcast: https://youtu.be/fV0yjQDTJN0
Genre: Thriller/Comicverfilmung: Wir machen weiter mit der Besprechung der Batman-Trilogie mit dem zweiten Teil „The Dark Knight“, einem Meisterwerk von Christopher Nolan. Der Film hat nicht nur das Genre neu definiert, sondern auch die Bedeutung eines starken Antagonisten wie dem Joker auf die Spitze getrieben. Wir beginnen mit einem Blick auf den Cast, der mit Heath Ledger als Joker einen wahren Höhepunkt erreicht. Im Anschluss diskutieren wir die Handlung des Films und die tiefgründige Auseinandersetzung zwischen Batman und dem Joker. Wir sprechen natürlich auch über den beeindruckenden Cast von „The Dark Knight“. Besonders Heath Ledger als Joker ist ein Gesprächsthema, da seine ikonische Darstellung zu einer der besten in der Filmgeschichte wurde und ihm posthum den Oscar als bester Nebendarsteller einbrachte. Aber auch Christian Bale als Batman, Aaron Eckhart als Harvey Dent und Maggie Gyllenhaal als Rachel Dawes leisten einen entscheidenden Beitrag zur emotionalen Tiefe des Films. Wir sprechen darüber, wie die Darsteller ihre Rollen perfekt ausfüllen und welche Dynamiken zwischen ihnen den Film so packend und vielschichtig machen. Spoiler! Ab von ca. 12:51 Min. bis ca. 15:10 gibt es Spoiler, wenn wir das Ende des Films besprechen und dessen Bedeutung für die gesamte Trilogie erörtern.Ein zentrales Thema der Folge ist die entscheidende Rolle eines großartigen Antagonisten für einen Superheldenfilm. Wir analysieren, wie der Joker nicht nur Batman herausfordert, sondern auch die gesamte Dynamik des Films vorantreibt. Später gehen wir darauf ein, wie „The Dark Knight“ neue Maßstäbe für Fortsetzungen gesetzt hat und was den zweiten Teil so besonders macht.Viel Spaß bei dieser Episode!--------------------------------------Ihr habt Filmtipps für uns?

What happens when the acclaimed and idiosyncratic director of JFK, Natural Born Killers, and The Doors attempts to direct a conventional sports drama about his favorite sport? Multiple Oscar-winner Oliver Stone showed us back in December 1999 that the result would be clearly anything BUT conventional! And he had quite the cast for this epic tail of a few weeks in the life of the fictional Miami Sharks, a professional football team at a crossroads. They have a hot-headed new owner (Cameron Diaz) trying in to rein their beleaguered veteran coach (Al Pacino) and have also just lost their veteran quarterback (Dennis Quaid) to a severe injury so they have to replace him with a third string quarterback (Jamie Foxx) with something to prove. And what results is a wild 160 minutes of big budget football insanity jam-packed with game-related violence, debauchery, and VERY loud arguments! Also included in this stacked cast are James Woods, LL Cool J, Jim Brown, Aaron Eckhart, Matthew Modine, John C. McGinley, Lela Rochon, Lawrence Taylor, Elizabeth Berkley, AND the late great Charlton Heston. :) It's time to make a run for the Pantheon Cup....Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
[Digital Gonzo 2012] NOTE: This is a reissued episode from over 12 years ago. Please forgive the lower production values and boneheaded things I say. Part two of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy. Following the powerful set-up of Batman Begins, the production team pulled out all the stops to deliver an epic crime thriller in the style of Michael Mann's Heat. This is a story of a city in turmoil and a police force struggling to keep order, up against the ruthless mob. At the center are Batman and The Joker, forces of nature representing order and chaos. The only hope for Gotham may in fact be the White Knight, district attorney Harvey Dent. But you all know this, because everybody and his dog saw this movie back in 2008. I just wanted to set the scene a little. Much is discussed, especially Heath Ledger's extraordinary performance, but not forgetting the brilliant turns from Aaron Eckhart and Maggie Gyllenhaal and the possible career-high score from Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard.

It's a fun Halloween week on BEHIND THE LENS thanks to our special guest JANE CLARK and her new film WITCHY WAYS; plus my exclusive interview with ROEL REINE discussing CLASSIFIED. Kicking off the show is my exclusive interview with director/DP/composer ROEL REINE disclosing all the secrets about making his new film, the action thriller CLASSIFIED starring Aaron Eckhart, Abigail Breslin and Tim Roth. Written by Bob DeRosa, the script is tight, the plot has some original elements in the hitman genre, first-rate performances, superb action, and the location of Malta is glorious. Then writer/director JANE CLARK joins me talking about her magically enchanting new film WITCHY WAYS! My regular readers and listeners may remember Jane from prior appearances on #BTLRadioShow talking about the fantastically fun and funny "Crazy Bitches", the movie and the tv series! I love WITCHY WAYS and Jane and I have the best conversation here as she breaks down her filmmaking process from script to screen with WITCHY WAYS – finding a shooting location, writing for the specific location, themes, research into the "witch community" and its customs, practices, and spells, casting, production logistics and overcoming the perils of Mother Nature, working with her cinematographer, score and needledrops, some lovely witchy visual effects, and so much more. A perfect way to welcome in Halloween! http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
Welcome to Part Two of our MoviesThat Happen to Star Aaron Eckhart miniseries (MTHtSAE II). Can you picture Aaron Eckhart as a gruff-but-loveable biker? Casting director Margery Simkin and director Stephen Soderbergh sure could! Throw a bandana and some muttonchops on that chiseled face and ta-da: movie magic?Fortunately for America, Eckhart's character is not the focus of Erin Brockovich. Instead, we follow Julia Roberts as Brockovich, a working-class single mother who stands up to the stuffy corporate lawyers (yay!) and the obese woman at her workplace (yeah?) and the snippy Black woman at her workplace (uh…) as she bravely fights for a settlement on behalf of victims of corporate pollution (yay again!). Of course, many of the plaintiffs received only a pittance, which is not mentioned in the movie (okay). On the other hand, we get to watch Brockovich being handed a cheque for two million dollars at the end (ffs).Honestly, this was an exhausting watch, an antiquated bit of proto-girlboss biopic-ery void of tension or dramatic movement after the opening twenty minutes. Soderbergh seems to know this, occasionally building out moments that challenge the protagonist, only to drop it in favour of the next sassy retort or deeply unpleasant insult delivered by a righteous Roberts who loves punching down just as much as up. Brockovich is the only real character in a world of ciphers and foils, and the few characters who assert any agency eventually leave. On the plus side, Roberts and Finney deliver great performances. And there's that one guy who looks like the most 2000s Mighty Mighty Bosstones fan of all time. We see you.
In this episode Larry Gilbert sat down with the multi-talented actor Oliver Trevena, a name synonymous with success in Hollywood, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship. With over 20 years in the entertainment industry, Trevena has seamlessly navigated various roles from acclaimed TV host to award-winning actor, producer, and philanthropist. Trevena's journey in the spotlight began with his charismatic presence as a TV host for major shows like Young Hollywood and The Hollywood Reporter, where he interviewed some of the biggest names in entertainment. He's also fronted red carpets for prestigious award shows, including The Grammys and The American Music Awards. But his career didn't stop there. Over the last few years, Trevena has transitioned from hosting to acting, and what a journey it has been. Oliver has starred in over a dozen feature films, sharing the screen with Hollywood heavyweights like Gerard Butler in Plane, Nina Dobrev and Aaron Eckhart in The Bricklayer, and Olga Kurylenko and Harvey Keitel in Paradox Effect, the latter earning him the Breakout Actor Award at the Rome Film Festival. With the recent Toronto Film Festival premiere of The Cut, where he co-stars alongside Orlando Bloom, Trevena's name continues to rise in Hollywood's elite circles. While his acting resume grows, Trevena is also making waves behind the camera. He produced and stars in Another Day in America, which recently hit the festival circuit, and he just wrapped production on Icefall, starring alongside Joel Kinnaman and Danny Huston. Trevena's upcoming projects include two television shows: Beachy Head, which he co-created with Danny Cannon and stars Dougray Scott, and London Son, both of which he is producing with Pulp Fiction producer Lawrence Bender. Beyond Hollywood, Trevena's impact is felt on a global scale through his philanthropic efforts. For over a decade, he's served as an ambassador for Not for Sale, a worldwide organization fighting human trafficking and modern-day slavery. His dedication earned him an award from the Duchess of York. His passion for humanitarian work doesn't stop there—Trevena produced a documentary in India, spotlighting the importance of female education and raising awareness about forced child marriage. Trevena is not just an entertainer; he's also a savvy entrepreneur. As the founder of Ollywood Media, he's built a thriving business centered around investments, production, and brand creation. Recognized as one of the "Top 20 Entrepreneurs to Watch," Trevena has merged his deep connections within the entertainment world with his creative vision to launch global brands like Allsaints, DOGPOUND, and Next Health. His most recent venture, Caliwater, co-founded with close friend Vanessa Hudgens, has attracted an all-star group of investors including Gerard Butler, Glen Powell, and Ryan Tedder. With a packed schedule of upcoming films, TV projects, and entrepreneurial ventures, Oliver Trevena continues to redefine what it means to be a multi-hyphenate in the modern entertainment industry. Whether he's acting, producing, or leading philanthropic initiatives, Trevena's passion for storytelling and making a difference shines through every endeavor. Tune in to the full episode to hear Oliver's inspiring story of perseverance, the lessons he's learned from his 20+ years in the entertainment business, and how he balances his Hollywood success with his business ventures.

The gang kick starts Mother Earth this week, as they review the world-ending disaster movie that was ahead of it's time, The Core (2003). A stacked cast (Aaron Eckhart, Hillary Swank, Bruce Greenwood, DJ Quals, Richard Jenkins, and DELROY LINDOOOOOOO) and a hefty runtime full of PS2 cutscene-level CGI, with a few winks at the camera make for a very fun and stupid time. If you have not seen this cable TV classic, give it a watch and you won't regret it... hell, you don't even have to start it at the beginning!

Hi everyone and welcome to a belated episode - I've recently had eye surgery and the recovery has been longer than expected! As usual, click the link to see the trailer for each of the main reviews! In this episode, we kick off with CHIEF OF STATION (Signature Entertainment) - the latest action thriller from director Jesse V. Johnson, starring Aaron Eckhart and Olga Kurylenko! THE PRANK (Signature Entertainment) is a dark comedy in which two highschoolers spread a rumour that their science teacher murdered a student - with hilarious results! There's certainly nothing hilarious about BIRTHDAY GIRL, where a mother tries to help her daughter after she is date-raped on a cruise ship. Things get even more somber with WHAT REMAINS (Icon Films), in which a self-confessed serial killer starts to question his own guilt. Our Short Shot is THE SPIDER, a genius take on the Spiderman origin tale! Click the link to see the whole short film! In our previous episode, we reviewed Samurai Cop as our DTV Throwback. This time, we review the sequel, SAMURAI COP 2! All I'll say is: this really defied all of our expectations!
In today’s episode on Gateways to Awakening, I speak with my friend Jon Amiel, a distinguished director, writer, and producer with a remarkable career in theatre, film, and television. After spending a decade rising from fringe theatre to the Royal Shakespeare Company, Jon transitioned to television, where he made significant strides at the BBC, culminating with the award-winning "Silent Twins" and the multi-award-winning "Singing Detective." Jon's success continued in the film industry over the next 15 years, directing major feature films such as "Sommersby" with Jodie Foster and Richard Gere, "Copycat" with Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter, "Entrapment" with Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones, "The Man Who Knew Too Little" with Bill Murray, "The Core" with Aaron Eckhart and Hilary Swank, and "Creation" with Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly. Jon's attraction to various genres is driven by his curiosity and desire to explore different facets of storytelling, approaching each genre with unique techniques and perspectives. As a mentor, Jon frequently advises aspiring directors and writers to focus on authenticity in storytelling and to develop a strong personal voice. We talk about the following and so much more: ✅ What he spends most of his time thinking about and why ✅ What, in his opinion, makes a good story and why? ✅ What inspired his journey into the world of film - an in particular directing? ✅ As a mentor and advisor to many film directors and writers, what advice does he find himself giving most frequently ✅ What draws him to a particular project, and how does he approach each genre differently ✅ What the creative process was like bringing such a gripping story like Copycat to life If you’d like to join the waitlist for my next coaching program, sign up @ www.InnerKnowingSchool.com Please tag us and tell us what you loved!

This week, our hosts request a table for two to discuss No Reservations (2007), starring Catherine Zeta-Jones, Aaron Eckhart, and Abigail Breslin. It's a classic tale of wacky, opera-singing guy tries to worm his way into the heart of frigid chef who has recently suffered the loss of her sister and gained custody of her niece. Madison admits this pick doesn't serve a traditional rom com, and Chelsea wonders if there weren't too many plotlines in this kitchen? The duo both agree, however, that the grieving baby Breslin needed therapy, not fish sticks. Connect With Us Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/loveatfirstscreening/ Email: loveatfirstscreening@gmail.com Production Hosts: Chelsea Ciccone and Madison Hill Music: Good Steph Artwork: Chelsea Ciccone Social Media: Marissa Ciccone About the Show An examination of classic tropes and iconic characters pits connoisseur against cynic—one romantic comedy at a time. The cinematic world of love and laughter had rom-com enthusiast Madison head over heels from the time Harry met Sally. For genre skeptic Chelsea, however, it's been a grueling enemies-to-lovers plot. In Love at First Screening, Madison introduces Chelsea to all the fan-favorite love stories she's never wanted to watch. One friend's passion might be the other's displeasure, but doesn't love conquer all?

Directed by Renny Harlin, and starring Aaron Eckhart, Nina Dobrev, Clifton Collins Jr., and a trowel, the movie focuses on what happens when a retired CIA operative uses his bricklaying skills to stop an international threat (it's wonderful). In this episode, they also talk about bricklaying-based assassin skills, rain fights, and getting hit with things and being fine. Enjoy!

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this month, Zach and Chris kick off another year of Everything Action Commentaries with I, Frankenstein.Aaron Eckhart stars as Frankenstein's Monster aka Adam Frankenstein, who, following the events of the Mary Shelley novel, becomes embroiled in the eternal war of gargoyles and demons. 200 years after his creation, Adam takes it upon himself to hunt down and destroy demons but his methods put him at odds with the gargoyles, led by their queen Leonore (Miranda Otto). A plot by the demon prince Naberius (Bill Nighy) to use Frankenstein's resurrection science to unleash an army of undead demons threatens both gargoyle and humankind.While watching the movie, Zach and Chris talk about how the opening is shockingly accurate to the Frankenstein novel, the similarities to Underworld (which makes sense as Kevin Grevioux helped create both), Adam's training regime, the overly conspicuous gargoyle and demon deaths, tracking resurrection as a percentage and more.You can watch I, Frankenstein on Max and watch along with the Everything Action crew.We want to hear your comments and feedback.

Catch up now and take a listen to this week's episode of BEHIND THE LENS as we welcome director ANDREW Baird talking about his new film SUNRISE. Plus, my exclusive interview with director RENNY HARLIN discussing his latest, THE BRICKLAYER. First up, listen as director RENNY HARLIN talks about THE BRICKLAYER, an honest-to-goodness old school action spy thriller starring Aaron Eckhart, Nina Dobrov, and Tim Blake Nelson. Breaking down the film and its various elements, we dive into the cinematography, sound design, action and stunts, practical in-camera work, actors (most notably Eckhart) doing all of their own stunts, and more. And Renny also gives us some tidbits on his reboot of THE STRANGERS (opening in May) and more! Then director ANDREW BAIRD is with us live talking about his new film SUNRISE starring Alex Pettyfer and Guy Pearce. A slo-burn thriller, Andrew goes into detail about character and the importance of location (shooting multiple locations in Ireland for the feel of the Pacific Northwest in the United States), the film's themes, visual tonal bandwidth and working with his DP Ivan Abel to create the organic feel of the film, editing from a structural standpoint and finding pace, score, and more. Plus, Andrew gives us some early insight into his next film – one with sharks! http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
The Bricklayer follows a rogue insurgent blackmailing the CIA by assassinating foreign journalists and making it appear the agency is responsible. As other nations begin turning against the U.S., the CIA must lure Steve Vail (Eckhart) - their most brilliant and rebellious operative - out of retirement. With an elite and deadly skill set, Vail is tasked with helping clear the agency's name, forcing him to confront his checkered past while unraveling an international conspiracy. Vertical Partner Peter Jarowey stated, "We are thrilled to partner with Millenium as our first collaboration. Renny Harlin, possessing an acute mastery of the action-thriller genre, delivers in The Bricklayer, and elicits extraordinary performances from a cast led by Aaron Eckhart. The film, a riveting adventure through the realms of espionage and intrigue, promises to captivate audiences from start to finish." "Working with Renny is always a delight, and teaming up with Vertical was a no-brainer. We're excited to collaborate with Vertical's incredibly talented team who are the perfect partners for this film," said Millennium Media's Tanner Mobley, Vice President of Development and Production.

Brace for impact, listeners! Returning guest Nick Newman of The Film Stage joins us for a white-knuckle journey through Clint Eastwood's 2016 chronicle of real-life heroism and not-so-real-life stifling bureaucracy, SULLY.

Julia Roberts was due for an Oscar - that much most people would agree on. So in the year 2000, because a rising tide lifts all boats, ERIN BROCKOVICH became a major awards contender. Julia Roberts is the rising tide in this analogy, and the boats are all the other elements that make up Steven Soderbergh's fairly mediocre biopic. Listen to Alex & Julio as they try to make sense of this alleged true story and, more importantly, of how Aaron Eckhart plays a Harley Davidson biker.TIMELINE00:01:34 Erin Brockovich00:13:11 Contrarians Corner- Wanna know how we really feel about ERIN BROCKOVICH?

Would we still be talking about ERIN BROCKOVICH (those of us who still are) if it wasn't known as Julia's Oscar Win?

When a Promise Meant Something: Sean Penn's The Pledge November is the month of Rick Ramos and this week we continue - following Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon and Walter Hill's Hard Times - with a look at Sean Penn's 2001 The Pledge. Featuring an underrated (and I would argue tragically underseen) Jack Nicholson performance that sidesteps all of the Nicholson tropes that we have become used to, Nicholson portrays Jerry Black, a police detective on the eve of his retirement who leaves his retirement party to investigate a young girl's rape and murder. He is quickly sucked into the horror of the crime and finds himself obsessed with discovering the truth and bringing the killer to justice. Penn's film takes all of the labored and tired tropes that have become standard for the genre and manipulates them in ways that make for a fresh directorial take. Featuring an all-star cast (that never screams of stunt casting) including: Sam Shepard, Helen Mirren, Aaron Eckhart, Patricia Clarkson, Michael O'Keefe, Vanessa Redgrave, Robin Wright Penn, Harry Dean Stanton, Benicio del Toro, Tom Noonan, and (an incredible) Mickey Rourke, the 2001 film is one that truly speaks to Penn's power and gifts behind the camera.

Tune in as Seth Vargas (Movie Friends) teams up with Arthur to break down As We See It, the 2022 Prime Video series that revolves around a trio of autistic mid-20s roommates who are trying to figure out their lives and gain independence. Talking points that the hosts bring up on this episode include the series being cringey in a good way, the uneven arc of Aaron Eckhart's career, and doing away with unnecessary social customs like the one where people say “can I ask you a question?” before asking the question itself. Created by Jason Katims, As We See It stars Rick Glassman, Albert Rutecki, Sue Ann Pien, Sosie Bacon, Chris Pang, Joe Mantegna, Délé Ogundiran, Vella Lovell, Tal Anderson, Alyssa Jirrels, Adan James Carrillo, Casey Mills, David Futernick, and Andrew Duff.

Ken Atchity, producer of the movie The Meg, staring Jason Statham, joins us for a fascinating discussion on becoming a Hollywood producer of such movies as "Life, or Something Like It," "The Expatriate" "Joe Somebody," and the HBO movie series "Shades of Love." ...but our time together was much more than talking about his international blockbusters. Ken is a Story Merchant...and he opens up about his roots, studying in French, Latin, Greek and conversational Japanese, along with enlightening stories of self sabotage, the dangers and blessings of A.I., and making peace with his brother Freddy.

Volume II, My Southern Belle, was published February 28, this year and also published by Story Merchant Books, in paperback.

While on hiatus, Enrique decided to take things into his ow hands to guarantee that DBB Inc, has never missed out on a week in their entire damn career! After declaring, Robert Pattison's The Batman is the best single Batman movie, he goes back and watches what people consider the definitive trilogy to decide once and for all, for himself of course. Movie Summary: The Dark Knight is a 2008 superhero film directed by Christopher Nolan from a screenplay co-written with his brother Jonathan. Based on the DC Comics superhero Batman, it is the sequel to Batman Begins (2005) and the second installment in The Dark Knight Trilogy. The plot follows the vigilante Batman, police lieutenant James Gordon, and district attorney Harvey Dent, who form an alliance to dismantle organized crime in Gotham City. Their efforts are derailed by the Joker, an anarchistic mastermind who seeks to test how far the Batman will go to save the city from chaos. The ensemble cast includes Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Heath Ledger, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Morgan Freeman. Warner Bros. Pictures prioritized a sequel following the successful reinvention of the Batman film series with Batman Begins. Christopher and Batman Begins co-writer David S. Goyer developed the story elements, making Dent the central protagonist caught up in the battle between the Batman and the Joker. In writing the screenplay, the Nolans were influenced by 1980s Batman comics and crime drama films, and sought to continue Batman Begins' heightened sense of realism. From April to November 2007, filming took place with a $185 million budget in Chicago and Hong Kong, and on sets in England. The Dark Knight was the first major motion picture to be filmed with high-resolution IMAX cameras. Christopher avoided using computer-generated imagery unless necessary, insisting on practical stunts such as flipping an 18-wheel truck and blowing up a factory.
Gaius and Jackson are celebrating the 15th anniversary of The Dark Knight, arguably the best comic book film of all time! Directed by Christopher Nolan from a screenplay co-written with his brother Jonathan Nolan, the film is the second installment in The Dark Knight Trilogy and it follows the vigilante Batman, police lieutenant James Gordon, and district attorney Harvey Dent, who form an alliance to dismantle organized crime in Gotham City. Their efforts are derailed by the Joker, an anarchistic mastermind who seeks to test how far Batman will go to save the city from chaos. Starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Heath Ledger, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Morgan Freeman, the movie has been assessed as one of the greatest superhero films ever made and became the new blueprint for many moder superhero films because it rejected the typical comic-book movie style in favor of a crime film that features comic-book characters. To help touch on some of these assessments, the duo is joined by Leo, Mike and Kevin of the Films and Fermentation Podcast, Adam from the Flipper Flix Podcast and actor Ty Ippolito.
