Today on You Love To See It — Fanbyte’s premiere movie rewatch podcast — Fanfyte Editor LB Hunktears joins Danielle and merritt for an examination of Joel Schumacher’s unhinged, campy, 1995 comics extravaganza, Batman Forever. Sporting wild production design, a very queer-coded “gay chad gaze,” Jim Carrey, Val Kilmer, Nicole Kidman, Chris O’Donnell, Drew Barrymore and Tommy Lee Jones, we had a lot of fun with this one.

We'll give you five guesses to figure out which 90s Disney cartoons we talk about this week! Or maybe you want to know why it's raining ash in New York City? And should you, or should you not, want to fuck a cartoon? Find the answers to life's greatest questions (and some video game talk) on this latest episode of Fanwidth, the Fanbyte podcast that is definitely about video games.

Hello island villagers! The Fanbyte crew is fishing, rancho-hunting, and vibing through Animal Crossing New Horizons and we wanted to talk to each other about our experiences, fashions, and creations in the game. Join us every week for the foreseeable future as we chill around the beach bonfire and talk about fossils and stuff.

Today, in honor of all that sweet, sweet SEO, we decided to watch Doom (2005), a movie that we knew wasn’t great, exactly, starring Dwayne The Rock Johnson, Karl Urban, and Rosamund Pike. Oh man. It’s not… very good. Trading demons for… some kind of zombie creatures, Aliens’ space marines for… far worse space marines, and anything resembling a decent plot for… whatever happens here, it’s kind of a mess. It does have The Rock though, and he sure does his best.

The Fanbyte gang may be afraid to go outside, but the same can't be said of our Animal Crossing villagers! This week, while one of us recovers from a real-life illness, the rest took a virtual vacation to the island of Tom Nook. The latest and potentially greatest Animal Crossing has some problems, but it's still a welcome reprieve from the world around us. So are the many other games we discuss on this week's episode! Persona and Doom Eternal and Monster Hunter all get some love on this week's Fanwidth.

Danielle and Steven convene to review DOOM Eternal: the latest, greatest demon killing simulation this side of Dante's Inferno. Earth has gone to Hell and it's up to the Doomguy to stop the invasion. But besides a fresh coat of paint, what makes this all that different from the 2016 DOOM? We go over everything you ought to know in our latest review podcast!

This week, our hosts actually went out and saw a somewhat recent movie in theaters, for a change! It's time to talk about Birds of Prey -- a Harley Quinn vehicle with a splash of other DC Comics characters in the mix. The film is a joyful, messy ride, and we're very excited to talk about the many things it does better than most DC cinematic fare! What exactly makes this action romp so wonderful? Let's find out on another episode of You Love to See It!

We're all going just a little stir crazy this week, as the L.A. team moves to a work from home schedule during the outbreak of COVID-19. But that just means more mayhem in the usual Fanbyte way. Plus games are finally coming out, which is perfect timing, and gave us plenty to discuss as we move through what we played and what we're looking forward to soon. Have you heard of this hot new jam called Halo 2? Well, we promise that's not all we talk about on Fanwidth, the Fanbyte podcast this week!

John sits down with Steven Strom (Fanbyte's official reviewer) and Kenneth Shepard (Fanbyte news reporter and reviewer for Gayming Magazine) to discuss Persona 5 Royal, the definitive edition of the 2017 social sim/JRPG. Check out our tips guides and other pieces about Persona 5 Royal over at Fanbyte.com.

On this season-ending bonus episode of Papal Bull: Resurrection, hosts merritt k and Eric Thurm look back on their time with The New Pope, the characters they love, and where they imagine things could possibly go from here. How are John and Sophia doing, after all? They also give a little teaser of things to come from the crew, so stay tuned next week as well.
