Batman Begins (w/ Mary Holland)

02/13/24 • 60 min
Lauren and Nicole enter the Christopher Nolan Batman-verse with very special guest Mary Holland (Self-Reliance, Happiest Season, Harley Quinn) covering 2005’s Batman Begins with Christian Bale. Fun! Together, they weave their way through knowing (and then not knowing, and then knowing again) who Ra’s al Ghul really is, give ample praise for Dawson’s Creek legend Katie Holmes, and feel comfortable enough to make a shocking confession (this is their first time watching a Nolan film...ever!).
Next week's movie: The Dark Knight (2008).
