Show me something from anything—history, movies, comic books, whatever—that's not an RPG— where someone uses two shields in a cool fighting style that doesn't look lame and actually looks like it works to both defend and fight... then we'll talk!

Dungeons of Dredmor, it's a gamewinning build:

Hey, you did say anything.

ALSO FAIL. See above!

I am eager to be proven wrong! But I really don't think the dual shield fighting style is something that deserves a place in the game as a viable player option.

Does anime count? If so I found 2 references there. Outside of that you win this argument.

Our DM has done a couple of night raids on us. The fighters usually have to fight without their armor and the mages haven't had 8 hours of sleep to prepare their spells. The Magus will have to spend the first couple of rounds to cast his defensive spells, giving the enemies time to go after him and get some hits in. It's made for some interesting battles as well. Nothing quite like a dwarf fighter that sleeps in the nude.
