The Dark Knight

from The Broad Perspective · host Megan Cruz

At the 81st Academy Awards in 2009, Heath Ledger posthumously won a best supporting actor for his role as the Joker in The Dark Knight. But did the film get enough accolades? The year before the Academy would expand the best picture category from just 5 films nominated to 10, a great debate was sparked by a super hero movie. We get into it on this week's episode, touch on the actual best picture winner of 2009, Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire, and do our best Alfred impersonations.
