Wannabe Film Buffs: The Dark Knight
Some movies don't stand the test of time. They become dated due to their acting, special effects, the general passage of time, or the now-canceled cast members and/or directors. Upon viewing The Dark Knight (2008) for Wannabe Film Buffs for the first time since seeing it in theaters as an insufferable middle school theatre kid, I figured this film would be no different. The bizarre and toxic charm of Heath Ledger's tragic death (looking at you, incel "philosopher" edge-lords with trilbies but call them fedoras whilst having incredibly questionable hygiene practices that make me never want to go to another local game shop ever again) is now a distant memory; and as of this blog post, we have now had two other live-action Jokers. I thought "Nah, this movie is gonna be dated and prove to be an unpopular opinion episode of Wannabe Film Buffs." I was very wrong.

Wannabe Film Buffs: Batman Begins
Hello, readers! This is my first blog post based on the podcast that I cohost called Wannabe Film Buffs; where myself and my friend, JV Hampton-Vansant, watch all of the movies we should have seen by now, but haven't. We do this by going down IMDB's top 250 list, but with a catch: every time we reach a movie on the list that is part of a series (in this case, The Dark Knight), we watch the entire series from beginning to end in a thing we like to call Series Binge Hell. At the time of this post, we have reviewed The Shawshank Redemption and the Godfather trilogy.
