UNLOCKED PATREON EPISODE: All 'Bout That Batman, Part Uno

12/21/21 • 28 min

In honor of the holiday season, we're taking a break from Season 2 of the podcast with a peek behind the paywall, sharing with the regular listener the glorious stuff you can only find on The Coolness Chronicles Patreon. And what more festive way to celebrate than a two-part discussion of the Caped Crusader?
This week, we start to Reconsider a frequent target of RiffTrax mockery, "Batman & Robin"! But in order to allow for the proper context, we need to go back to the beginning. First the 1940s, then 1966, and then 1989 for Tim Burton's phenomenally successful (financially) "Batman"! Prepare for some hot takes and dark knights!

Join your wonky yet affable host! More exclamation points!

For the final new episode of 2021, a much-requested episode for which we’re dialing back the clock a bit to chronicle another film that, like “Airplane!”, came to define an entire subgenre: 1984’s improvised mockumentary masterpiece “This Is Spinal Tap”. How can you improvise an entire movie? That question will be answered!
It’s a story that involves zucchini codpieces, big bottoms, tiny Stonehenges, amps that go to 11, and numerous cold sores.Join your wonky yet affable host!

UNLOCKED PATREON EPISODE: All 'Bout That Batman, Part Deux

In honor of the holiday season ("Batman Returns" IS a Christmas movie), we're taking a break from Season 2 of the podcast with a peek behind the paywall, sharing with the regular listener the glorious stuff you can only find on The Coolness Chronicles Patreon. And what more festive way to celebrate than a two-part discussion of the Caped Crusader?
This week, we're going to celebrate by continuing to Reconsider the original "Batman" movie series, chock full of embarrassing childhood confessions!

-"Batman Returns" traumatizes and creates a fan for life while parents comfort their crying children
-"Batman Forever" enraptures and inspires hopeless crushes (as well as bitchin' Halloween costumes)
-"Batman & Robin" kills a franchise... for eight years.

Say goodnight to the Caped Crusader! And hello! And goodnight again! And hello! And....
