About This Episode
<p>In this episode, Bo and Caitlin talk about <i>The Dark Knight</i>, the Christopher Nolan-directed Batman movie that set 12-year-old Timmy on the path to acting greatness. He’s not in the film, but he loves Heath Ledger’s Joker enough that we decided to record an episode on it.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>References</b></p><ul><p>• “Timothée Chalamet Reveals How Heath Ledger’s ‘Dark Knight’ Performance Inspired Him To Act” (<a href="https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/timothee-chalamet-heath-ledger-the-dark-knight-1201914412/">IndieWire</a>, 2018)</p><p>• <a href="https://youtu.be/jCBbS101R8g?t=976&si=uP2wcvLEJfYhVxjR">NYFCC Award Speech</a></p><p>• <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005132/trivia/">Heath Ledger IMDb Trivia</a></p><p>• <a href="https://youtu.be/vdS6d3fPJak?si=OKUK1hAt9GPP52P8">MTV interview clip</a> with Heath Ledger and Josh Horowitz</p><p>• <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reels/DWRngK4j379/">Hospital explosion sequence</a> (unscripted moment)</p><p>• <a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/1WnoQFCqNDY?si=0t5tqyoH0caTyH9o">Money toss oops</a></p><p>• <a href="https://www.scriptslug.com/script/the-dark-knight-2008"><i>The Dark Knight script</i></a></p><p><i>• “</i>Timothée Chalamet Reveals How Heath Ledger’s ‘Dark Knight’ Performance Inspired Him To Act” (<a href="https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/timothee-chalamet-heath-ledger-the-dark-knight-1201914412/">IndieWire</a>, 2018)</p><p>• <a href="https://youtu.be/jCBbS101R8g?t=976&si=uP2wcvLEJfYhVxjR">NYFCC Award Speech</a></p><p>• <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005132/trivia/">Heath Ledger IMDb Trivia</a></p><p>• <a href="https://youtu.be/vdS6d3fPJak?si=OKUK1hAt9GPP52P8">MTV interview clip</a> with Heath Ledger and Josh Horowitz</p><p>• <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reels/DWRngK4j379/">Hospital explosion sequence</a> (unscripted moment)</p><p>• <a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/1WnoQFCqNDY?si=0t5tqyoH0caTyH9o">Money toss oops</a></p><p>• <a href="https://www.scriptslug.com/script/the-dark-knight-2008">The Dark Knight script</a></p><p>• “On Batman: Allegories of a faltering empire and the vagaries of an election” (<a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2012/11/2/on-batman-allegories-of-a-faltering-empire-and-the-vagaries-of-an-election">Al Jazeera</a>, original source of Goyer’s comments inaccessible)</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Bonus</b></p><ul><li>“Behind The Scenes of The Dark Knight Trilogy” (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMkmjg-qZRk">WB</a>, full documentary)</li><li>“Christopher Nolan on Directing The Joker” (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0bn18wSbI8">The Director’s Cut</a>, 10 min.)</li><li><a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/LnNCsqO5NBw?si=-5DMTpvFNlCTpcU6">Timmy on Heath with Josh Horowitz</a></li><li><a href="https://youtu.be/qkJiM_3rU58?si=wgbTtl6ngAQBaDsL&t=1173">Timmy on Heath with Christopher Nolan</a></li></ul>
