Why so serious? Because this week on
The Lettuce Podcast, Laura and Charlotte welcome guest Cory (of the
Three Angry Nerds Podcast) to discuss Christopher Nolan's The Dark
Knight. And there's no hiding
it- they ALL love this movie! They talk about the impact this film
had on the comic book movie industry, why it's never been matched
despite the rise of incredible comic book films, and (of course)
Heath Ledger's amazing performance as The Joker. Laura explains she
feels why the moral quandaries presented in the film help to make the
viewer more engaged in the story. Charlotte compares the performances
of Katie Holmes' and Maggie Gyllenhaal's Rachel Dawes character,
explaining why she appreciates both and who she ultimately enjoys
more. Cory brings a new energy into the show with his knowledge of
the comic book series to help the girls get a grasp on how this film
relates, while also sharing an infectious excitement for the film.
All three engage in a truly fun and exciting love-fest over this
wonderful film- you won't want to skip this episode! Is Heath
Ledger's the best on-screen portrayal of The Joker? Do we even need
to put that question up for debate? Are you going to listen to our
comments on it anyway? All these fun topics and more are discussed on
this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast!
Laura,
Charlotte, and Cory had an extra fun Fun & Games segment, which
they began by finding their Superhero Names. All three agreed that the quiz had a strange method with 100%
awesome results! They closed our the segment with a Lettuce Podcast
favorite: Madlibs. For this round, Laura used the plot summary on the
back of The Dark Knight
DVD which produced even more hilarious results than usual.
The
Lettuceheads and guest Cory enjoyed 3 podtails this week: A Bruce
Wayne approved glass of red wine for Charlotte, a purple-and-green
cocktail called The Joker
(make your own!) for Laura, and an
appropraitely named cocktail called The Dark Knight
(make your own!) for Cory.
