Hunter and Chris are joined by guest Batman scholar and shameless fanboy Joseph “Joe Kerr” Dale to mark the 10th Anniversary of Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins. In a wide-ranging Special Features, the Dudes discuss The Dark Knight Legacy, covering Batman in cinema, as well as the realistic reboot culture ushered in by Nolan’s film.

Hunter has disappeared off the face of the Earth, so Chris’s bayou-bestie, Jacob Graves, stops by for a better-late-than-never review of Mad Max: Fury Road, Chris interviews musician-turned-filmmaker Beau Jennings about his new film The Verdigris: In Search of Will Rogers, and the dudes basically just list off a bunch of movie characters cursed with ambition in Special Features.
Apologies for the sound quality throughout this episode. In deciding to do a last minute remote recording with Jacob we ran into a few technical issues.
