    Thank you for providing an enjoyable informative spot! Got my azz of social media a week now!! Feels refreshing to learn some new things and not be weighed down but the unmeasurable filth of the world. I needed to step away from my heavy regular listening choices & refresh, this was it. Thank you :)

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Special Episode! Interview with Todd Stephens
Q: What came into place to actually make it happen, and then now go on tour with it, and now these screenings and everything?
Todd explains that regaining the rights to Gypsy 83 after the original distributor's bankruptcy was the key that unlocked re-edits, tours, and new screenings, allowing the director's cut to reach audiences again.
Is it a Dump? Joel Schumacher’s Batman
Q: Why are Schumacher's Batman films considered dumps in this episode?
The hosts argue they reflect a divergent era that leaned into camp and toyetic marketing, strayed from the darker, grittier evolution of Batman, and were released at a time when audiences and critics were ready for something different, which ultimately didn't age well for many fans.
