Episode 177: Batman Begins: A movie about Isaac Newton

In classic Nolan-tradition, the boys attack his filmography in the order that it is supposed to be discussed: out of order. Here is Batman Begins and a confused discussion about the BAFTAs. Not least how it is supposed to be pronounced.

Episode 168: What if, Train?

Two things. First, this is released a week after the last episode and seems way too predictable for a weekly podcast and makes me uncomfortable. Second, that The Lone Ranger got a greenlight for production raises so many questions. But we are glad its exists or otherwise this episode would not have content. Third, Chris is going to attempt some plumbing. What could possibly go wrong? Fourth, enjoy the counting podcast, kemosabe. Fifth, we are a counting podcast.
