We did it! We reached fifty episodes! We’re officially a toddler in podcast years! For this episode, friend of the show Case Aiken (“Men of Steel”, “Another Pass”) returns to discuss the commentary for the 1966 “Batman” feature film, as told by stars Adam West and Burt Ward. Is bombing ducks instead of nuns ethical? Did you realize the villains were featured in bizarre tilted frames because they’re *crooked*? What is the connection between Batman ’66 and the serials of the ‘40s? All these questions will be answered and more.

Ryan’s Recommendations: “The American Friend” (1977), “Paris, Texas” (1984), and “Repo Man” (1984)

For our forty-ninth episode, friend of the show Lauren Robinson (“Beer’d Al” podcast) makes technically her first appearance to discuss the 2022 “Weird Al” “biopic” “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story”. Lotta quotation marks there. How long was Conan O’Brien actually on set? Did Al really acquire his iconic accordion from a door-to-door salesman? Just how good is Evan Rachel Wood as Madonna? Does Emo Phillips as Salvador Dali steal the whole show? The answers to those questions and more await!

Ryan’s Recommendations: “JFK” (1991), “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” (2002), and “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping” (2016)

For our forty-eighth episode, Mike White (“The Projection Booth” podcast) returns for a movie discussion of Francis Ford Coppola’s unheralded 1988 triumph “Tucker: The Man and His Dream”. Despite what you have been led to believe, it’s not really about cars. We discuss Coppola’s desire to do something interesting with his wealth, how George Lucas bailed his mentor out after a decade of flops, why Martin Landau was robbed of an Academy Award nomination at the least, Coppola’s failure to secure Frank Capra as an executive producer, and so much more.

Ryan’s Recommendations: “The Godfather” (1972), “Apocalypse Now” (1979), and “The Cotton Club” (1984)
