A podcast about connections - in film and in life.

Joel Schumacher's arc continues as his take on Batman proves to be campy, energetic, cartoonish, and controversial. We discuss the word "toyetic", Tim Burton, Coolio, homoeroticism, and what critics thought at the time compared to what they think now. It's a fascinating story as we break down the history of fast food tie-ins that lead to Joel helming the project, his love of Batman: Year One, and what could have been vs. what we got. How did Joel's love of comic books lead to the most colorful depiction of Gotham to date? We also go see what's At The Movies At The Time, looking at Gene Siskel's surprising fondness for the film and his interest in Batman's "fetishistic" side, and we Get Physical with a glowing review of a 4K UHD that almost literally knocked our blocks off. It's a passionate episode that discusses binaries, dichotomies, our own frustration with Joel Schumacher and this movie's reputation, and is almost as big as Alfred's Large Hamburger. | Intro & Outro Music - "Wardrobe MalfunKtion" produced by Danya Vodovoz - https://danyavodovoz.bandcamp.com/track/wardrobe-malfunktion - Royalty-Free Music
