Welcome back to the Seventh Season of the Darkest Timeline, featuring our piece by piece review of the 1943 Batman Serial starring Lewis Wilson and Douglas Croft as the worst dynamic duo ever! This week we review chapters three and four!

I guess this time it's as much of a welcome back for us as it is for you. It's been over a month, and I'm really sorry about that, but there was nothing we could do. Hopefully that won't happen without warning again. Best time to remind you that, if there are problems, we usually tweet about them @DTLPodcast on Twitter. Just so you know.

And, I know, the website hasn't been updated yet. Please keep in mind that we don't really get paid to do this, so sometimes it gets hard to find that time. Although you could help with that and join our Patreon at Patreon.com/dtlpodcast if you want. I'd call that shameless self-promotion, but I felt a large amount of shame while writing it.

See you next week for more racist Batman, for real this time.

Welcome to the Seventh Season of the Darkest Timeline, featuring our piece by piece review of the 1943 Batman Serial starring Lewis Wilson and Douglas Croft as the worst dynamic duo ever! This week we review chapters one and two!

You may notice that the DTLPodcast website hasn't been updated since the end of season 6, that's cause I'm in Colorado right now, and the internet, not to mention cell service, is spotty as Hell. I'll be back to civilization next week.

Join us next week for Chapters 3 & 4!

Welcome to the fourteenth episode of the Patron's Choice Series! Here is our Patreon review of 1969's "Hercules in New York", and not the theatrical version, but the one with Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice restored, as God intended.

Welcome to the ninth and final episode of the Darkest Timeline Wrestling Gauntlet! In this episode, the boys from the Darkest Timeline try to finish the season by continuing their three episode winning streak. This week they take on the vaguely disappointing beast that did the exact opposite of its job. That's right, we take on 2000's "Ready to Rumble", represented by David Arquette, Oliver Platt, Scott Caan, and Diamond Dallas Page! This film was supposed to the catalyst of WCWs return to the top, and to stop it from hemorrhaging viewers, but the whole thing was so universally panned that it became the final nail in WCW's coffin, and the company folded the next year.Ready to Rumble cost $24 million and only pulled in $12,394,327 in the domestic box office. It also made a further $58,035 somewhere else in the world, but for the life of me I can't find out where, but it clearly didn't make an impression there either. That leaves the worldwide total at effectively unchanged from the total in the states. I'm sure WCW was happy with their investment.Be sure to not tune in next week cause we're taking a week off. So join us in taking a nap or something. Maybe binge the podcast and find out how much better we've become.

Welcome to the eighth episode of the Darkest Timeline Wrestling Gauntlet! Our eighth match is against 2005's sequel to 1995's Get Shorty; Be Cool, represented by John Travolta and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson!

Welcome to the seventh episode of the Darkest Timeline Wrestling Gauntlet! Our seventh match is against 2016's reboot of the Kickboxer franchise; Kickboxer: Vengeance, represented by Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dave Batista!

Welcome to the thirteenth Patron's Choice podcast from our Patreon. This episode originally aired on Christmas Eve 2017, and accidentally continues our Darkest Timeline Wrestling Gauntlet theme, in that it stars Bill Goldberg as Santa Claus. That's right, we watched 2005's "Santa's Slay"! It was another one of those iffy picks that only had a limited theatrical run, but boy were we glad that we let it slide, if I even remember correctly. This is also the final podcast we ever recorded with a horrendous technical issue that led to much worse sound than usual. Things sure were different six months ago, still using only one mic to record all of us as opposed to the multi-mic setup we have now. But I think Brinloft explains all that at the beginning of the podcast.Anyway, I can't find anywhere how much it cost to make this movie, or how much it made in its limited theatrical run, so there's no way to give you any of that information.Join us next week as we continue the Wrestling Gauntlet by watching 2016's "Kickboxer: Vengeance".

Welcome to the sixth episode of the Darkest Timeline Wrestling Gauntlet! In this episode, the boys from the Darkest Timeline ignore the fact that they lost to "See no Evil" last week, cause they're all about living in the present. That and all they've seen for the last hour and a half is dudes stripping and stripper dude drama, so they don't remember last week anyway. That's right, this week they face 2012's "Magic Mike", represented by Channing Tatum, Lots O' Dudes without clothes, and the spirit of Kevin Nash. Not really sure how we got here; David was the one that brought it up and no one checked his work, and here the film has an 80% on rotten tomatoes. Damn it, David.Speaking of mistakes, this film was not one financially. It only cost them $7 million to get a bunch of really really really in shape dudes to dance together and have interpersonal drama for nearly two hours. Off of that paultry budget, it made $113,721,571 in the States and $53,500,000 in the rest of the world for a worldwide gross of $167,221,571! It made nearly 24 times its budget. That's straight up madness and could not have gone better for them.Be sure to tune in next week as we take a quick Gauntlet break for our monthly Patreon episode from 6 months ago: 2005's "Santa's Slay" starring Bill Goldberg! It was the Christmas season then.

Welcome to the fifth episode of the Darkest Timeline Wrestling Gauntlet! In this episode the boys from the Darkest Timeline endeavor to continue to salvage their win/loss average by showing 2006's unfortunately unmasked version of Kane (though still a scary kind of man) who's boss and whittle down his film debut unto so much sawdust on the mat. That film being 2006's "See No Evil" starring the Big Red Machine himself; Mayoral Candidate Glen "Kane" Jacobs! I'm not sure we properly thought through picking a fight with Kane from 12 years ago. The man was still in pretty good shape. We'd have no chance in a fair fight.Anyway; See No Evil cost a reported $8 million to make back in the day, so pretty standard for a lower budget theatrical horror film. Releasing on May 19, 2006, it stayed in theaters for 7 weeks and grossed $15,032,800 in the States and a further $3,531,667 on the rest of the Earth's surface for a worldwide total of 18,564,467. That's actually not so bad. More than double isn't the dream, but you're not going home dead broke either.
