The BatLabels Label-Cast

Aaron visits Fireside Conference and gives a talk on the roller-coaster ride of BatLabels, sudden internet notoriety, meeting Adam West and getting comfortable with hugs.

Aaron (@batlabels) and Chris (@chcardin), with a cameo from Marco (@pmveltri) discuss cosplay discomfort, the highlights and lowlights of FanExpo in Toronto, the 50th anniversary of Star Trek and how the NBC suits were right, Aaron's love for The Expanse, coffee vs tea, and Salt Vampires. Plus, William Shatner tells a story about prostitutes (really!).

Find out why Batman himself hates the Batmobile in these highlights from Adam West and Burt Ward's Q&A at FanExpo in Toronto! Plus, Aaron, Chris and Krissy talk about Bob Peak posters, that time that James Bond rode an elephant, plans to reanimate King Kong using the brain of a criminal who knows parkour, and Vin Diesel as Hamlet.

Aaron is joined by Marco Veltri and Krissy Myers at FanExpo in Toronto, where they talk about nostalgia for nostalgia, experiential marketing, Stan Lee's preferred beverages, time travel, chicken nuggets, fan service, and waiting in lines.

A quick mini-episode before FanExpo in Toronto: Aaron daydreams of being punched in the face by Adam West; Chris makes the recording more difficult; special guest Evan challenges Chris and Aaron to a contest that everyone will lose. Topics include iPhone cases of dubious utility; that time Aaron dressed up as George Lucas; Chinese bootleg eBay; and for basically no reason, everyone tries to say "Festivus Episode".

Batman 66 superfan Aaron (@batlabels), comic book omnivore Chris (@chcardin), and hypercritical Grant (@angrybittergay) review Star Trek Beyond. Discussion topics include Federation standard-issue pointy sideburns, futuristic mining technology that also prolongs life, cat vomit, the current-day Extreme Level of Vin Diesel, what the three Xs in xXx stand for, trailers that look like piles of poop, and Pokémon Go.

Streamed live for the 50th anniversary of Batman: The Movie, and with the participation of hundreds of Twitterati and Tumblrians, here's to a half century of being unable to get rid of a bomb. Fire up your copy of Batman's 1966 movie (it's on Netflix in North America) and listen along with us as we answer Twitter's questions about bad villain plots, Adam West as the American Roger Moore, whales vs dolphins, and much, much more.

This week, Aaron, Chris and special guest Grant go to see Star Trek Beyond. Discussion topics include cheese-to-nacho ratios, the film of Batman: The Killing Joke, sleep away camp vs regular camp, Texas Francophones, and the unrated director's cut of Monkey Trouble.

It's the not the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition commentary track that you need, but it's the one that you deserve: Adam West Batman superfan Aaron Reynolds (@batlabels) and comic book omnivore Chris Cardinal (@chcardin) discuss plot holes that can be explained away by Bat-Mite, Superman's inability to decorate his apartment like a human being, Perry White's sitcom-boss obsession with Clark Kent's football article, how Batman applies his eyeliner so quickly, sweet guitar licks, and much, much more.

Because this movie is three hours long.

Canon, continuity and fan service: Aaron and Chris talk about Archie, Star Trek, Batman, Captain America and James Bond, and contrast how those franchises deal with their long histories and built-up back stories. Also in this episode: dozens of Spectre Easter Eggs, the exact price of a 1983 Panasonic Omnivision front-loading VHS VCR, Game of Thrones spoilers, and why Mr. Lodge continues to let Archie caddy for him even though it always ends in disaster.
