Is The Batman (2022) a masterpiece? Matt Reeves' magnum opus takes us to the lowly streets of Gotham City and sees Bruce Wayne (Robert Pattinson) take on The Riddler (Paul Dano). Is the latest Bat film the best yet? Mike, Isak, and Brandon are joined by Jayla Nix and Landon Beall to find out.

Batman ventures into Gotham City's underworld when a sadistic killer leaves behind a trail of cryptic clues. As the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator's plans becomes clear, he must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued the metropolis.

In Take 8 of The Chatter After, the crew discusses why Top Gun is the perfect summer film! In a great flashback ahead of the highly anticipated sequel, Top Gun: Maverick, Nate Richard joins the show.

The Top Gun Naval Fighter Weapons School is where the best of the best train to refine their elite flying skills. When hotshot fighter pilot Maverick (Tom Cruise) is sent to the school, his reckless attitude and cocky demeanor put him at odds with the other pilots, especially the cool and collected Iceman (Val Kilmer). But Maverick isn't only competing to be the top fighter pilot. He's also fighting for the attention of his beautiful flight instructor, Charlotte Blackwood (Kelly McGillis).

In the latest episode of The Chatter After, the crew discusses a modern fairy tale, Guillermo del Toro's The Shape of Water. This film is a unique take on classic fairy tales like Beauty and the Beast and classic films like The Creature from the Black Lagoon. del Toro's perspective helps us find beauty in everything and is a message of acceptance and fear of the unknown.  Elisa is a mute, isolated woman who works as a cleaning lady in a hidden, high-security government laboratory in 1962 Baltimore. As Elisa develops a unique bond with her new friend, she soon learns that its fate and very survival lies in the hands of a hostile government agent and a marine biologist. Her life changes forever when she discovers the lab's classified secret -- a mysterious, scaled creature from South America that lives in a water tank.
