On this Batusi inspired episode, George Fragopoulos and Kel Karpinski (what, no Liam?!?) discuss Batman 1966, directed by Leslie Martinson, and starring Adam West, Burt Ward, Lee Meriwether, Cesar Romero, Burgess Meredith and Frank Gorshin (what a list!). Topics discussed in this episode? Phalluses, just so many phalluses; camp and pop art; Dick Grayson, voyeur-in-chief. Also, Cold War politics!

Topics not discussed? The Elgin Marbles, which, if we are all being honest, should be returned to Greece because they were stolen and fuck the British Museum and British government for not giving them back. For real.

On this enigmatic episode of Oeuvre Busters, Liam and George tackle Batman Forever (1995), directed by Joel Schumacher and starring Val Kilmer, Nicole Kidman, Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones. Topics discussed: what it’s like to be kissed by a rose; Jim Carrey, insufferable fool; the masks make it better. Also, who would you rather date, Batman or Bruce Wayne? And why not both? Topics not covered: Marx’s theories of the circulation of capital as theorized in the Grundrisse, and how such theories prefigure the more “mature” Marx of Capital.
