Joshua and Ian talk about how one distinguishes Batman from Batman Beyond. I dare say that all this crap about multiple Batman’s or Batman as an idea, etc. No Batman is a man Batman is Bruce Wayne. This kid does pretty good though against old Jack.

281. Sucker Punch and TV Set

Did this recording of an Arnold classic with a few ladies that hadn’t seen it and their respective fellas who of course had. Makes for interesting nighttime listening.

I should link a superior podcast about why this is a bad movie here: Greatest Movie Ever Podcast .  They make a fair number of points but I simply enjoy the movie for what it is and honestly didn’t find it terribly confusing. In this movie podcast game sometimes you can go with the bullshit and sometimes you can’t and for Dune I can.  – end apologia.

Soundtrack by that band everybody knows ... Toto!

 

next: Total Recall
