Our hosts return to the podcave and are joined by special guest and friend Isaac Robinson-Smith — the voice of Bishop in X-Men '97 — to review the infamously bad episode, The Terrible Trio.

This podcasting trio of hosts dives into the comic book origins of these three misfit villains, tracing their roots all the way back to the 1950s. They also tackle the big question: why is this episode so widely disliked? Is it the lack of a proper supervillain? The rookie animation team? Or something else entirely?

Along the way, they break down Robin’s latest R-shaped throwing star, speculate on what Alfred says to himself in the mirror, and discuss the many wardrobe choices in Will’s favourite segment — FIT CHECK!

Plus, the gang casts The Terrible Trio in their live-action fan-made universe, and Isaac shares what he's working on now, including a tease of X-Men '97 Season 2!

Our hosts return to the podcave, slip on their gardening gloves, and dive into the chilling episode, House & Garden.

Alex and Will explore the dark horror elements of this episode, including some truly unsettling "plant babies." The disturbing thought of them transforming from son to husband in just a few days makes for some uncomfortable imagery—especially when you consider the implications of them sleeping with their... mom? YIKES!

They also ponder some intriguing questions: How did Batman not know Poison Ivy was released from Arkham six months ago? When did she swap for her clone in this episode? And just how lame is it when Batman stalks Ivy in broad daylight?

Plus, Alfred turns off the notifications on the bat-computer and plays some Mario Kart.

Our hosts return to the podcave and are once again sent around the world on another Ra's adventure in the episode, AVATAR! (no not the blue or air-bending kind)

Alex and Will discuss the Hammer horror elements to this episode and the clear odes to the original The Mummy movie. Highlighting the opening and ending sequences as classic horror scenes, as well as Peter Cushing now being an official character in the DCAU.

Our hosts also wonder how Batman got home after being stranded in the desert with only a water flask. As well as discussing what Ra's got upto in WW2, the zombie Queen's belly dancing routine, and accidentally creating two new characters in BTAS -- Snot & Booger.

Our hosts return to the podcave and are called to the witness stand to give their testimony on one of the best episodes of Batman the Animated Series, TRIAL!

Alex and Will talk about the premise of this episode being the original idea for an animated film, as well as how it includes the best spoken line of Batman dialogue and Joker dialogue in any episode of this show.

They also question Bruce's dating habits, why Killer Croc loves a big rock story, and what Maxie Zeus was doing during all of this.

Our hosts also cast Janet Van Dorn in their fancasted live action universe and talk about Will's comic book life.

Our hosts return to the Podcave and then venture out into the woodlands to review the freakishly average episode, SIDESHOW.

Alex and Will discuss the excellent animation in this episode and how the first act is a much better premise of a story, instead of reclusive freaks living out in the woods. And can you say freaks? Is this allowed?

They also talk about how Richard being a Shakespeare nerd is the freakiest trait of all and discover they have limited Shakespeare knowledge. Plus, Killer Croc pitches the freaks on a new woodland wing shop venture and Batman brings a tree root back to display in the Batcave.

Our hosts return to the podcave and sit down to review the episode, The Worry Men.

Alex and Will talk about the quality of this episode and how it felt like an episode of Batman 66, until the Mad Hatter showed up and chewed up the scenery.

They also debate on how to pronounce the word Shaman, why Batman stopping a guillotine with his feet is the ultimate Love That Batman moment, and how Alfred downplays all of Bruce's stories.

Our hosts return to the podcave and dummy up to review the episode, READ MY LIPS.

Alex and Will talk about the Ventriloquist and Scarface, noting the incredible performance from George Dzundza. As well as the character's comic book origin and the bass thumping music that sounds like it's right out of a nightclub in the 1930's.

Our hosts also wonder what the Ventriloquist's stand-up routine would be, why Batman is extremely superstitious, how Gordon finds Batman in the dark, and Alex has a go at improve -- is he any good?.....NAH!

Our hosts return to the podcave and sit down to review the episode, FIRE FROM OLYMPUS.

Alex and Will discuss Maxie Zeus and all of his...unique qualities. Highlighting how annoying he is and what Batman must think of him.

They also chat about Maxie's one Greek henchman, if he was in a frat at college, what EDC might stand for, and if he's ever been to Greece or even seen the musical Grease.

Our hosts also cast Maxie Zeus in their live action fan-casted universe and chat about what they're putting in their holes for content.

Our hosts return to the podcave and sit down to review the episode, HIS SILICON SOUL.

Alex and Will talk about the many odes to The Twilight Zone, Blade Runner and The Terminator that this episode features. As well as the many body horror scenes, the Batcave fight, and Alex stumbles on his words when saying the worst sentence possible (little girl's soul).

Our hosts also wonder what Batman's favourite song might be, why recluse Karl Rossum has become a conspiracy theorist, when Alfred thought knockout gas would work on a robot, and how HARDAC expanded his robotic reach into the mayonnaise market.

Our hosts return to the podcave and sit down to review the conclusion of the globe hopping adventure that is, THE DEMON'S QUEST PART 2!

Alex and Will discuss Ra's very convoluted plan and how it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but the odes to James Bond, adventure serials and comic books make the episode better.

Our hosts also raise an eyebrow at how much "BEEF" Batman has with his shirt off. Plus, they discuss how Robin is useless, why Talia is pointless, and introduce a new member to the Society of Shadows, Riz Al Ghul.
