#193 - TV Review - Batman TAS Episodes "Almost Got 'Im" and "Baby-Doll"


Listen Later

In this trip back to the 1990s, the Geeks investigate two "Batman: The Animated Series" episodes, "Almost Got 'Im" and "Baby-Doll." These are two episodes chosen by Preston for Todd to sample.


- "Almost Got 'Im" is an episode where a handful of Gotham City's biggest villains play poker & reminisce about times that they almost defeated Batman. What did the Geeks think about the villains' elaborate & questionable methods?

- Where did the giant penny in the Batcave come from?

- What big twists, from both episodes, did the Geeks refrain from completely revealing in their review?

- Was a scene between Catwoman and Harley Quinn significant enough that the Bechdel Test would apply, and if so, did the scene pass or fail?

- What did Todd think about Baby-Doll, the main villain in the 2nd episode reviewed?

- What deeper meanings & social commentary did Preston appreciate and/or relate to, from the "Baby-Doll" episode?

- How much, if at all, does Baby-Doll deserve some sympathy, despite her villainous actions?

- Was Baby-Doll's plan smart...or not?

- And, why did Preston choose these two particular episodes to review?


Listen now for the answers to these and other vigilant questions as the Geeks investigate "Batman: The Animated Series."
