In the penultimate episode of DC Multicast Season 2, Keith is joined by veteran comic book insider, and former Batman editor, Joseph Illidge to reflect on the game changer that was 2008's The Dark Knight.
Keith and Joe share their mutual love for Christopher Nolan's epic sequel to Batman Begins and its enduring legacy as the film that not only made superhero films truly mainstream but brought cinematic legitimacy to the genre. From its themes and politics to its viral marketing and the indelible, award-winning performance by Heath Ledger, there has never been a film like The Dark Knight. It was the movie we deserved but didn't know we needed.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
