Writer, Producer, Performer,  Director, Choreographer, and DC Encyclopedia Mike Bowers (@bikemowers) floats gently to his seat from the high above rooftops for "Batman Returns" (1992). Starring: Michael Keaton (Birdman), Michelle Pfeiffer (What Lies Beneath), and Danny Devito (Twins).  Dir: Tim Burton. We take you on a forced crash course (Penguin is driving. How can this be?) through a lot of the Burton/Schumacher Batman oeuvre. Discuss the Christmas movie of it all, and if this makes our holiday watchlist. And, how easy it should, or maybe shouldn't, be, to tear off your bulletproof mask. 

Plot: While Batman deals with a deformed man calling himself the Penguin wreaking havoc across Gotham with the help of a cruel businessman, a female employee of the latter becomes the Catwoman with her own vendetta.

Welcome to the party, pals! (pause) PAUL'S PRETTY PUNCTUAL PARTY! Where we pay our respects to another Paul, Dir: Paul Verhoeven, and his 1997 sci-fi/satire/war film "Starship Troopers." (Based on the novel by Robert Heinlein) Starring: Casper Van Dien, Denise Richards, Neil Patrick Harris, and Michael Ironside. Can a propaganda film, be wrapped in a propaganda film, and then wrapped in a delicious tortilla of satire? If not, well, they sure as hell tried. We discuss - the odds, military ranking based on acting ability, the beauty of the grey (embrace the “groutfit”), and of course HARDCORE NUDITY. 

Plot: Humans in a fascist, militaristic future wage war with giant alien bugs

Musician, Alaska native, and WINE. PROFESSIONAL. Matt Fosket stops worrying, and learns to love the Review Review, and thus talk with us about "The Mouse That Roared!" (1959) Based on the novel of the same title. Starring; Peter Sellers, Peter Sellers, Peters Sellers, and Jean Seberg. This farce begs the questions: What if a micro nation became a nuclear superpower? Can we talk about a movie MUCH longer than it's feature length? How much does Matt's jacket cost REALLY? Is all wine "fine," wine? What are the limits of Amazon “X-Ray?” And, if someone, ANYONE, can pull the rip cord in Paul’s brain?

Plot: An impoverished backward nation declares a war on the United States of America, hoping to lose, but things don't go according to plan.
