Manage episode 321684527 series 2849589
Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown... OR IS IT?!
It is. And it's also a landmark artwork that changed the face of cinema forever. And we're not just talkin' about what it did to its nose!
In fact, you can still feel its influence all over what director Matt Reeves is doing with The Batman, so in this mini-marathon called Bat Signals, Matt, Alex, and Rocco dig into this tangled web of inspiration that lead us to this new DC comic book film.
But before all that, it's time to talk Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway, John Huston, Robert Towne, and the wet n' wild world of Los Angeles in the 1930s. It's Chinatown, people!
