Longbox Graveyard 
I ran across your Steranko board on Pinterest and appreciated your appreciation (an example of a double positive) of his work, so I followed the notice back to your site and just listened to your review of Dark Knight Rises. A very good piece of writing. And radio. You have an engaging vocal presence; I hope you keep doing the podcasts. Your thoughts on Dark Knight Rises brought into focus a number of my own reactions. Unlike you, I had stayed interested in the Batman character over the years, but had felt bitterly disappointed in the first five movies–they represented the missed opportunity to do the character as well on the screen as he had been done in comics. The joy I felt after seeing the first Nolan film was all out of proportion to its virtues. I realized I had been waiting my whole life for a good Batman movie, that it satisfied something deep in what I usually think of as a sober, adult personality. I think you touched on why this is so: those archetypal comic book characters that seized my imagination as a kid are still in the trophy case of my unconscious, epitomizing some of the best moments in life. Being mythic in nature, they’re able to reach that place in me where symbol and emotion come together. Dreamtime. Joseph Campbell. A perfection beyond the self. Yes, you nailed it exactly. I’m still dealing with the nasty taste Dark Knight Rises left in my memory, but you’ve given me insight into understanding why. Thanks,

Thanks for reading and writing, Kerby, it’s posts like this that make it all worthwhile (and it’s also gratifying to know the groundwork I’ve been doing on Pinterest generated a referral and a reader for this blog — wahoo!).
It was cathartic to share my Dark Knight Rises experience, and I’m glad the podcast worked for you. It was a bit sloppier and less locked-down than my usual podcast, I kind of came to realizations as I was making it, and even ended up recording a new conclusion as the original was too downbeat and (upon review) untrue. Thanks for listening as I put myself on the geek couch!
I’d tell you to tune in next month for more of the same but I have only a vague idea of what I will be doing from show to show … I do think the next show will continue this theme of examining benign fan obsession but it will be an interview in this case, time to get out of my head a bit and into someone else’s.
