INTERVIEW BEGINS AT: 23:00

POW ZAP BIFF

In 1966 Lorenzo Semple Jr. and William Dozier gambled on bringing a comic book hero to America's living rooms, not once, but TWICE a week, and soon BATMANIA took over the world.

over the next 3 years and 120 episodes we were introduced to what "pop culture" is really all about.  Kids fell in love with the action and adventure, adults loved the campy and off beat humor, and grown men in particular LOVED the costumes (especially of amazonesque Julie Newmar as Catwoman and Yvonne Craigs Batgirl)

Today, over 55 years later Batman is still king, not only in it's countless films and animated shows, but the one and only real Batman (in my opnion) Adam West still lives on across streaming platforms and DVD/Blu ray alike, and every generation falls in love with the Caped Crusader and his faithfull sidekick Robin

Today, we are pleased to be joined by Darrin (FizzFop1) McDonald, a comic book historian and youtube star and the Actor, Wrestling Manager/historian and Bat Superfan  Nikita Breznikov  to take a headfirst deep nerd dive into the iconic 1966-1968 Batman TV Show...... So, to the batcave....

So kick back, enjoy and please rate and share the show..let's keep the audience growing. Thank you all
