EARLY AUDIO-ONLY PODCAST RELEASE

This week, we dive into Tim Burton’s BATMAN (1989). We revisit the movie’s cultural earthquake—how it reshaped the superhero genre, influenced blockbuster marketing, and gave us a much darker Gotham than audiences had ever seen before.

When #FantasticFour hits theaters I'm planning to do a double feature of FF and a second viewing of #Superman. Because I think we're about to have two really fun superhero movies in theaters at the same time and I want to fully appreciate this.

First reactions to SUPERMAN have been OVERWHELMINGLY positive. I am PSYCHED.
We are both seeing it TONIGHT: Brendan at 7 PM Pacific, me at 7 PM Central.
Afterwards we'll be recording a full episode. Our SPOILER-FREE review should out by Thursday, but Patreon will get it in the wee hours tonight.

The "Just the Tip" moment from this went viral yesterday. Watching the whole interview is great — not only do you hear the journalist explaining the slip-up to his audience, but best of all you see Rachel still fighting to regain her composure afterwards.
