Bat Minute

Batman is switching to... targeting... computer.

Joker's goons feel the full force of Bat might, Bat Minute Mites, as they get blown to the moon and back! The clown prince is next in line but he stands there, confident, bold as brass. Bring it, Bats!

A trouser cannon is on hand to even the odds...

This duel of the ages requires only the finest of backup. It must be those so versed in the Batverse that they could take these crooks on themselves. They don't need cheap parlour tricks to conceal their identities either - we've got 'em - it's Adam the Creator and Darth Laric of The Dark Knight Minute podcast! These guys have learned to do what is necessary and they show us all that there is nothing to fear in podcasting but fear itself. That and psychopharmacology.

The next episode follows on Friday.

As the big 1-0-0 lands it's sadly not party time in Gotham as Bob... our beautiful, wonderful, masterful Bob, is no more.

There's panic in the streets of Gotham as clown chaos reigns and bat-demons rule the skies.

Joker and the Batman are moments away from a showdown for the ages - head-first!

To manage this melange of madness requires a special form of back-up, so our dynamic duo have called in for heavy reinforcements - it's Adam the Creator and Darth Laric of The Dark Knight Minute podcast! Who better to end Joker's terror than two heroes doing the very same in an alternate universe? Do you want to know how we got podcast listeners like you good folks? WITH GUESTS LIKE THESE!

The next episode follows on Wednesday.

Batman is a thief! HE'S STEALING JOKER'S BALLOONS! Somebody stop this jackanapes!

Sadly, things take a turn for the EVEN WORSE and we bid farewell to a good, dear, friend. Rest in peace, sweet child. This is officially the saddest minute in Movies by Minutes history. In movie history, period.

Joining the dynamic duo as Special Guest Investigator is Dave Pallas of the 5 Minutes of Mystery podcast! Dave may usually be something of a Cassanova, but the death in this scene has left him so Furious he may burst his Spleen in anger! Dave is here to help our crew Shovel their way out of the *bleep* and Bowl their way through any obstacles on their way to the truth. Dave knows that only shooting stars break the mold!

The next episode follows on Monday.

Falling! Tumbling! A smashing time is had by this goon, at least.

The Action News Truck bites the big one! NO! OUR FAVOURITE CHARACTER!

Knox goes for one hell of a ride, complete with a feathery end. Has Knox bitten the big one too?!?

Joining the crew one more time to discuss this sweet, sugary, nightmarish, minute is a very special Guest Investigator - surreal comedian Zoë Tomalin! Zoë joins us as this investigation turns into a cruise through the horrifying scenes amid Gotham's streets! Sadly, this ain't no Bubblegum Party and we'll need all of our mindfulness techniques to make it through in one piece. Make sure to delve deeper into the madness with her stellar work as the Zoë part of duo Siân & Zoë - they are Edinburgh Fringe regulars and have written for Channel 4 shorts, performed their sketches on BBC Radio 1, been seen on BBC Two and CITV, and have "had nightmares for a combined 51 years".

The next episode follows on Friday.

Smylex™ spews into the city streets and pandemonium ensues! It might not be the most effective locale for his mission, but this Joker sure is giving it his all!

Knox leaps into action with a bit of wood! He's finally snapped folks - enough is enough!

As the Batwing descends and Bruce pouts once more, we prepare for the beginning of the end...

Bringing the Smylex™ to our listeners is today's Special Guest Investigator - none other than surreal, nihilistic, comedian, assistant television producer and angry candy floss Zoë Tomalin! Zoë may be here to help us save the day by banishing Joker and his goons but on the flip side she also brings them to a Sugar Coma Fever Nightmare. At least the good citizens of Gotham will go out laughing! Also check out this committed comedy anorak's fantastic work as part of duo Siân & Zoë!

And now, folks, it's time for "Who Do You Trust?"!

Gotham's greed is on full display and Knox is just SICKENED! UTTERLY SICKENED!

While the cash-obsessed crowd clamour for more, The Bat returns to action to rescue them from their vices. This time, however... he's flyin' in style!

Hubba, hubba, hubba! Money, money, money! Bats is washin' those undies.

Citizens! Upright and otherwise! Fear not, for our dynamic duo are joined once again by the woman of 10,000 laughs - actor, stand-up comic, writer and Henson-trained PUPPET MASTER Phoebe Bottoms! Phoebe will certainly get to the Bottom of this case but without forgetting to bring the funny!

Another power to see
Close, don't worry about nobody else
From now on you'll be here with me"

Minute 94 (94) is full of trustworthy characters. I mean, they're throwing cash! Nothing suspicious about that at all...

Vicki isn't so sure, however. She's going to have to take a closer look at this cake-crazy clown.

Somebody we can certainly trust to help on our Great Bat Caper is this week's special guest - Upright Citizen, Henson-trained puppet master and consummate comic Phoebe Bottoms! Can Phoebe use her expertise to manipulate a happy ending and lead us out of this Labyrinth of darkness? Tune in to find out, Bat fans!

You call this an outtake?

Yes. That's precisely what it is.

Jon and Niall were recently, yet again, guest hosts over at the excellent Die Hard Minute podcast! For five days in this second stint (beginning 22/01/18) they dug into the classic film Die Hard, along with a few wonderful guests.

Here is a sample to whet your appetite for more. This clip had to be edited out of the final show, but they thought that it would amuse the good listeners all the same.

This is a clip from the second episode in this set, which is covering Minute 83 and the guest with the AMAZING tale about Crocodile Dundee is the brilliant and unmatched Dael Kingsmill!

What does it have to do with Die Hard? Nothing, that's why it was cut! OBVIOUSLY!

Find Die Hard Minute on ALL podcatchers NOW!

"Trust, who do ya?
Trust, what makes you a real lover?
Trust, I put this question to ya
Cause I want you to be with me"

While spending time at a sidewalk cafe, the residents of Gotham spy something wonderful, something magical: IT'S A PARADE! IN FULL FLOW! Even the ladies of the night are losing out to this spectacle.

Joker and his fistful of dollars arrive via cake with Bob in tow. Bat Minute '89 is all about that #Boker life.

Our favourite anatopistic, world-hopping, dreamer of dreams and author of awe is back to resolve this madness - yes, it's Kiri Callaghan! It may be the end of the week but Kiri is here to make sure you #StayCurious .

The next episode follows on Monday.
