The Dark Knight is one of my very favorite movies, so I was really excited when Dave Mongan (Without a Trace, Destiny) brought it as his piece of media for this month‘s episode of Formative Media (FormativeMediaShow.com). A great conversation about the film and why it resonates with Dave.

Formative Media is an excellent show - every episode since its launch with Garnett Lee has shown that. But the most recent episode, with @victoriasetian.bsky.social, is maybe my favourite yet. @christianspicer.bsky.social pulls off a late-game twist that had me punching the sky and yelling YES!

I love the Secret of Mana. So when @christianspicer.bsky.social asked me what piece of media to discuss, I knew just the one. What I didn't know was that Christian would pull off a surprise regarding a fan letter I sent to Squaresoft as a child. I hope you'll tune in for the magic that unfolds...
