  • SOUP!

    More thoroughly researched than it has any right to be, more interesting than it really should be and fun even in the film's dullest minutes. It's Bat-tacular!

  • I HOST THE SHOW. Does that make me biased? Yes, yes it does. Should you listen to me? Still YES. Hosted by one Bat fanatic, Niall and one guy who just likes movies, me, we chat about the film, investigate, dig into it and try to figure this thing out one minute at a time. We do all of this in a light, fun, breezy kind of way and, oh yes, we can go very off topic! Delightful. Come and join us at Bat Minute!

  • Brilliant Bat!

    A super fun podcast that looks at the Batman movies one minute at a time. I love the dynamic between the hosts and they get some really cool guests on - lots of women too, which I appreciate. The minute-by-minute thing is a framework for conversations about many topics and I really enjoy that as it keeps things from getting boring and repetitive. Highly recommended! Really fun and funny!
