Just like Batman, the DC Multicast Returns! After a multi-year hiatus, we are back to rewatch every live action DC movie ever! Just in time for the Holidays, we’re kicking off season 2 with a look at the Christmas classic, Batman Returns!

Joining Keith in the festivities is movie critic Julian Lytle. Together they tackle the sequel’s highs and lows, including the return of Batmania, Michelle Pfeiffer’s iconic turn as Catwoman, Danny Devito’s take on the Penguin, how Christopher Walken’s scene-stealing Max Shreck presaged the Musk/Trump presidency, what Marlon Wayans as Robin might have meant for blerdom, and why Nike and DC need to collab on official Batman Returns-branded Jordans!

And always remember this piece of Christmas advice: mistletoe can be deadly if you eat it, but a ‘cast can be deadlier if you mean it.

DC Multicast is a multi-part series covering the entirety of DC Comics’ theatrical movie catalog. For season 2, join host Keith Chow and special guests as they analyze every DC movie from 1992’s Batman Returns through 2009’s Watchmen!

The term “triple threat” is rare these days in Hollywood. However, not only does Smile 2 star, Naomi Scott, embody the very definition of that term, as a gifted singer, dancer and actor, she reinvents it completely. With her performance in the terrifying new sequel to Parker Finn’s Smile, Scott proves to everyone she is a dynamic force of charismatic nature to be reckoned with. And we were fortunate enough to chat with her about this stellar performance in the critically acclaimed horror film.
