ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Welcome to Formative Media with Christian Spicer, the show that celebrates the media that inspires, influences, and defines us.
This episode we talk The Dark Knight with Dave Mongan! You might know Dave from his time writing on the hit CBS procedural Without a Trace, from his work on Bungie's incredible first-person shooter, Destiny, or perhaps from his time as a senior narrative director at Xbox.
We unpack why The Dark Knight has stuck with Dave all these years and how it has influenced his writing, and how it continues to influence his work today. Plus, it always great to revisit The Dark Knight.
