Heat (1995) - Visual Influence of The Dark Knight

George had no idea what Heat was. We've been teasing him for weeks that he was going to watch a movie called Heat, which influenced the Dark Knight. And yet, from his initial impressions it seems he saw none of that upon his first viewing. My goodness, this dude. Nevertheless, join us as we shed light on how Michael Mann's heist-filled classic inspired the look and content (and cast!) of Black Hawk Down-- Err, The Dark Knight.

Will George find his happy place among the suicide attempts and solemn tone? How many movies from 1995 will Travis have more to say about than Heat itself? Will Dan finally reveal his five favorite Michael Mann movies? Tune in to find out!
