  • The yoppiest thing I’ve ever witnessed

    The podcast of jumping on bat themed wagons is a pretty good one. Hosted by Juicing Jam Time and Brother Broderick theses super schway, some may say yoppie, dudes go through every episode of the DCAU in controversial air date order. Brian a first time watcher and James a super fan the dynamic and jokes are a great listen. Would recommend to any comic fan

  • Yoppie Dudes

    A must listen for anyone who loves the DC animations, particularly the DCAU.

    If you want the full Christopher Nolan experience, start with the latest episode and work backwards. Initially you won’t have a clue what’s going on, then you’ll get a series of revelations - “Oh, so that’s how that started!”

  • Jimminy Cricket and The Brick™ talking about the DC animated shows I grew up with is a joy. My son was born early 2024 and I've been enjoying slowly in my sleep-deprived state ever since. Thanks for the yops to keep me on my toes during 3am feeds, hope to join y'all in the future, soon.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

208. Out of the Past (or You Ever Drink Baja Blast From a Shoe?) feat. Joe Scott - Batman Beyond
Q: What stands out most about the musical sequence at the beginning?
The musical sequence is a surprisingly strong centerpiece that foregrounds Bruce's aging anxiety and doubles as a meta-narrative device, making the episode feel like a Broadway-style spectacle within a superhero story.
193. April Moon (or The Happy Hour of Tacos) feat. Stan Berkowitz - Batman Beyond
Q: What was the origin of the 'April Moon' story and the William Morris agency tie-in?
Stan details that Allen proposed a story about a master villain recruiting a publicity agent-like role, which evolved into a doctor who modifies people; the William Morris agency comparison came early as a metaphor for controlling careers and reputations, which helped shape the ending and themes.
197. Lobo (or This is One of the Worst Things I've Ever Seen in My Entire Life) - DCAU Webseries
Q: What is the core premise of the Lobo web series discussed in this episode?
A chaotic set of mini-episodes following Lobo as he pursues Sunny Jim and Darlene across a space-odyssey-like plot that includes rescues, deaths, and zany adventures, ultimately leading to chaotic and controversial outcomes.
190. The Eggbaby (or Pre-Patrol Tomato & Mayonnaise Sandwich) feat. Tiptapricot - Batman Beyond
Q: What do you think of the episode, Eggbaby?
It was very silly and fun, but I didn't like Bruce not stepping up to help with the egg baby.
181. Babel (or Gun and Vibrator: America) feat. Stan Berkowitz - Batman Beyond
Q: Can you tell us what happens in Babel?
In Babel, Shriek returns seeking revenge on Batman and disrupts the speech patterns of Gotham's citizens, forcing Terry to make a difficult choice about sacrificing himself for the greater good.
