Step into the shadows with Don, Ken, and Jon as they unravel the twisted architecture of memory and identity in Dark City.
In this episode, the trio digs deep into the dark alleys of Alex Proyas’ mind-bending noir-sci-fi hybrid.

With nods to The Matrix and German Expressionism, the crew dissects the film’s fragmented narrative, haunting set design, and philosophical undercurrents.
