We talk a lot of Batman this week as the boys bring on Michael Phillis to talk about his immersive theatrical experience, "Pride in Gotham". Michael talks about the difficulties of performing and directing immersive theater and living his life-long dream of spending a night in Gotham. Then he graciously listens to Clark's Batman trivia that may or may not have something to do with Ceasar Romero and orange peels.

Get tickets to Pride in Gotham here!

Randy watches a fake television special, "Give Me Pity"- and liked it. Clark praises "Blackberry", which leans more tragedy than biopic. Russ shares his journey with the new series, "Dead Ringers" and ties in his recent experience with childbirth. Also, Clark and Russ discuss their "Big Shark" screening experience with Tommy Wiseau - included at the end of the episode is the Q&A from the screening.
