    Join us as we discuss the 1994 movie based on the 30's radio program featuring the mysterious Shadow, a caped crime-fighter and detective with the ability to cloud men's minds. It's a cheesy fun comic-book movie with impressive visuals and surprising co-stars, now all you need is the popcorn. ;)

  • Episode 8: Batman Mask of the Phantasm (1993)

    Join us as we celebrate Eric's birthday with one of his FAVORITE movies! (Detail that didn’t make it into the episode: this movie has 84% on the Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer, higher than ANY of the Burton/Schumacher Batman films and tying with Batman Begins (in that respect) ).


    NOTE: We made an error in this recording. Batman Returns does NOT feature a flashback to the death of Bruce Wayne's parents, meaning (if Mask of the Phantasm HAD shown it) Mask of the Phantasm would have only been the SECOND Batman film to do so.
