The best way to approach talking about the new phenomenon of the Wicked musical film adaptation is to look at it comparatively to the other parts of the Wizard of Oz universe. Though John and Magnus just skim the surface on the whys and hows, this satisfying conclusion to season three of EiG is much like Wicked Part 1 - eagerly awaiting what happens next.

Sailor Moon is a ubiquitous series in nearly every country. It's impossible to cover in one episode, but with a topic like found family - there's no better beautiful fantasy epic to talk about. Not only is it coded in more ways than one, it begs the question - who actually is Usagi's best match? Is it Prince Endymion? Haruka? Seiya? Or is Usagi's best match actually her Inner Senshi?

Tune in and consider such things for yourself!

Sometimes it's not just about being scared. It's about the awe that transforms into fear. It's about a place that seems like one thing and almost overnight transforms into another. It's about the terror, the warnings, and the smartest velociraptors you'll ever know.

Still one of the most technologically marvelous blockbusters ever made, Jurassic Park is a gold standard of what a summer film is. And not just in the 90s. Magnus and John weigh in on why it was and continues to be captivating and about what it says about Michael Crichton's overall body of work.

If you're looking for something different to enjoy tonight, John has a few episode suggestions from one of his favorite anthology works. Twilight Zone is near and dear to his heart and this episodes will give you some expected and wonderfully unexpected spookies as well.

Enjoy!

October is a fitting time to revisit the chills that formed us. And for John, he eagerly volunteers a favorite Ray Bradbury story turned film. Perhaps the most sinister of the Disney/Touchstone imprint, Something Wicked This Way Comes is a 1983 nightmare dream.

Trigger warnings include impossible spiders, blindness, and a carousel you'll love. To death. Watch out for the palm tattoos and the circus sideshow as well. You never quite know who might be parading down your small town main street with them.

There are some audio issues with this episode, but the love and appreciation for Tim Curry and his voluminous codex of work shines through. Can you guess which major role we didn't get to in time? Perhaps there's more of Tim Curry to come in the future and neither John or Magnus would be sad about that.

Please note, some audio issues are found in this episode.

While preparing for gay Christmas (aka Halloween), John and Magnus become intrigued with the devil in the details. In the case of the Devil himself in South Park, well- he's not as bad a guy as some would believe. And his torch song is one for the ages.

South Park is an interesting animated feature and overall brand. For some, it's heresy and for others its about a time in their life. But what is true is that South Park is always at its best when it's being truly fearless. And fearless was what this movie was.

Batman Begins almost defies everything Batman had been on film. Based on a different part of the Batman lineage than any Bat Blockbuster before, it was supposedly a repudiation and a fresh start.

And it is a great movie. Not just a great Batman movie but a movie that changed the landscape of the neo blockbuster. Is it perfect? Is John bothered by the Bat Tumbler? Perhaps. But that's all for you to listen into and judge for yourself.

It might be the only Batman film that has its own apology tour. One of the most requested episodes John and Magnus have ever done, they break down what went right, what went wrong, and what went very gay for Batman and Robin.

As we told Lady Freeze before we pulled her plug - "This movie isn't nearly as bad as you remember and the critics kept saying it was. Though the toy making influence is heavier than it needs to be."

Is Batman 89 the perfect Batman film? Might it even be the perfect superhero film? Perfection is in the eye of the beholder, of course, and while beloved - this film is certainly not without controversy.

But what Batman 89 gives to the world is a tie from the past of Batman's noir lore that will give Batman and other heroes the permission to be more than the sum of their comics parts even into the current age.

And with Burton at the helm to work his magic, even Vicki Vale manages to survive in a world that hasn't always been kind to her. Batman 89. A Short for your pleasure.
