    Dec 16 2024

    It's that wonderful time of year again—Christmas! And what better way to celebrate than with a festive favourite film? This time, we're diving into a sequel to one of the biggest movies of the '80s: 1992's Batman Returns!

    Charlie and George take a deep dive into the superhero sequel where everything is ramped up - the villains, production design, classic Tim Burton weirdness and well, horniness.

    They discuss everything from production background, casting decisions, sequel spin-offs and probably too much time sharing their love for Christopher Walken's intense villain, Max Shreck!

    Santa Claus? 'fraid not, we're just some podcast who got lucky, and sue us, if we wanna give something back!
