Betsy and Mano (We Love Trash) pop on by to talk about the very spooky and great Poison Ivy Episode HOUSE AND GARDEN. We talk about hunky plant clones, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and deconstruct how Ivy upends societal expectations of femininity and wields them a weapon. Oh, and Sonic the Hedgehog.

Welcome to an interview variety show for your ears hosted by Justin Michael. Each episode brings together a fan of Batman: The Animated Series or a special guest who worked on the TV show to discuss their favorite episodes from the legendary 90’s cartoon. Why? Because I love this show. You probably do, too.

Stephen P. Neary, creator of HBO Max's The Fungies, pops by to chat about what many fans believe is the very best episode of Batman: The Animated Series: Heart of Ice. We discuss Mr. Freeze's revamped origins, the symbolic significance of a character like Victor Fries, and Stephen's introduction to the animation industry as an intern on the original Teen Titans.

Batman faces off with D-List villain Josiah Wormwood in The Cape and Cowl Conspiracy! I chat with Patreon supporter Jason LeBlanc about Bud Cort's perfect DCAU voice acting, the elaborate death traps of someone who's not The Riddler, and take a moment to reflect on the late Joel Schumacher's films.

I sit down with one of my absolute favorite writers and illustrators, Ezra Claytan-Daniels (Upgrade Soul, BTTMFDRS, HBO Max's Doom Patrol) to chat about Earl Cooper aka The Mechanic, Batman's sloppy driving skills, and rethinking the Dark Knight's role in future media.

Clayface returns in Mudslide! I chat with Patreon supporter and fan of the show Luke Mears about his childhood fear of Clayface, the influence of Old Hollywood on Batman: The Animated Series, and how England is cartoonishly portrayed when Alfred visits at the end of the series.

We take a detour to the excellent adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' For The Man Who Has Everything!
