The Dark Knight changed my life — literally. In this heartfelt deep-dive, Greg Alba (Reel Rejects) and writer-director Patrick Hogue explore the cultural earthquake that was Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight (2008), how seeing it in IMAX shaped Greg’s love for cinema, and why it remains one of the most impactful movie theater experiences ever. From Heath Ledger’s iconic Joker performance, Christian Bale’s Batman, to the unforgettable interrogation scene, the Gotham City opening shot, and the prologue before I Am Legend, we unpack why this Batman film redefined superhero movies forever. We also dive into IMAX as a format vs VOD, nostalgia vs spectacle, and compare experiences to movies like Barbenheimer, Cabin in the Woods, Iron Man, Batman Begins, Dark Knight Rises, Hereditary, Talk to Me, Evil Dead, and 28 Days Later. Plus, Patrick shares the logline and inspiration for his debut horror feature The Dread, influenced by A24 horror, The Babadook, It's a Wonderful Life, and Evil Dead 2. If you love Batman, Christopher Nolan, Heath Ledger, elevated horror, or movie nostalgia — this episode is for you.
