When did superhero movies become so dark and disturbing? In the words of Heath Ledger’s Joker: “why so serious?” In this episode of The Parallax Podcast, myself and Rich Haridy discuss The Dark Knight Rises, Rolf de Heer’s The King is Dead!, Shame and Take Shelter. Our cult film guru Zak Hepburn brings to the table the 1977 Japanese horror flick House. Plus, my mum makes a brief cameo.
