    Cannibal Holocaust (1980)

    **Heavy content warning! This episode contains coverage of a very problematic (and cursed) piece of film history. For those who wish to join us in the murky waters ahead, listener discretion is advised…Today we’re introducing the listener-selected winner of this year’s Miniseries MAYhem, our latest genre series: Lost and Found!!We’re going deep on the origins of the Found Footage movement with some complicated thoughts on Ruggero Deodato’s infamous and objectionable 1980 satire of western docu-journalism. It’s upsetting, it’s perverse, but it represents the beginning of a new era for horror.While we don’t encourage you to watch this film, we hope this episode will provide you the context for the series that’s about to unfold. Next week we’re zooming ahead to the internet age of 1999 for one of the greatest American movies ever made, THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT.

    Batman is vengeance. Batman is the night. Batman is forever! Today we’re sealing the gates of Arkham once and for all, and saying farewell to the greatest superhero franchise ever put to film.

    We’ll be tying off some loose threads, answering listener questions, and…announcing the final list of movies for our upcoming Found Footage series!

    Next week we’re kicking off “Lost and Found” with the very controversial and problematic CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST. **A heavy content warning to listeners who plan to watch the film ahead of the episode. Despite its significance in the genre and film history overall, it is not one we recommend viewing.

    It’s the end of an era for us and the beginning of yet another Bat franchise!Theres a Dark Knight for every generation, and this one is very emo, has runny eye shadow, calls himself “vengeance,” and is directed by Matt Reeves.We have some complicated thoughts about this very compelling new vision for Gotham City. Whatever you think about THE BATMAN, you’ve got to admit: The Riddler is a good singer.Next week we’ll be saying goodbye to The Batman, tying off some loose ends from our miniseries, answering listener questions, and… announcing our next miniseries!

    It took 83 years, but we finally got a movie about the Dark Knight facing his ultimate villain… The Eye of Sauron? Voiced by Jemaine Clement?This week it’s another LEGO animated spectacular, but it’s NOT a bonus, because Batman is the main character! It’s a rom-com, a musical, a father/son drama, and above all, an excuse for Warner Bros to dump all their IP into one toy box. And somehow, it actually works!!Next week it’s the final film of our Batseries, THE BATMAN (2022).

    Bonus!! Remember in BATMAN BEGINS when Christian Bale says he’s going to build back Wayne Manor, brick by brick? That was actually a reference to THE LEGO MOVIE!Yes, we’re talking about bricks today. And not just because LEGO is part of Adam’s origin story. There’s a Batman in this film! So we’re required to talk about him!Next week, it’s Chris McKay’s bat/brick spinoff, THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE.

    Into the Keatonverse! For this week’s bonus, we’re going meta with Alejandro González Iñárritu’s exceedingly self aware Oscar-winner that’s definitely not about Batman or Michael Keaton’s career.What do we talk about when we talk about Batman? Listen to find out. Next week it’s another bonus, Lord and Miller’s LEGO MOVIE. It counts because Batman is in it!

    The fire rises, brother! This week we conclude our Nolan run with the biggest and most divisive entry in his Batman saga. Also discussed this week: the origins of Tom Hardy’s infamous Bane voice, whether or not Joseph Gordon Levitt’s character should have just been named Dick Grayson, and…why the hell is Bruce so fucking cruel to Alfred?Next week it’s bonus time, baby! Alejandro González Iñárritu may not have made a Batman movie per se…but there’s no way we could skip BIRDMAN for this series.

    The Dark Knight (2008)
    May 26 2025
    Listeners, you either die a normal film podcast, or live long enough to see your show completely devolve into a Christopher Nolan marathon. Between Heath Ledger’s legendary turn as the Joker, Nolan’s transformation into an IMAX-first director, and the coolest truck crash in cinema history, there’s so much to explore in this sprawling behemoth of a picture. We went for nearly four hours on this one, and could easily do another four. THE DARK KNIGHT is (still!) just that good!! Next week, our Nolan era comes to a climactic finish with THE DARK KNIGHT RISES (2012).
