The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of Tim Burton’s Batman on or near the 30th anniversary of its release. This is one we all remember, including all of the merch, all of the cultural impact, and all of the controversy. There’s clearly no such thing as an easy Batman, but we pull out some opinions on this one, along with a whole lot of other stuff. Plus our usual goofy behavior and our picks of the week.

What we’re up to this week:
Sorry for missing (another) week – tech issues, starting the Witcher novels, the rain we’ve had here and its unusual consequences, The Flying Saucer (1950) on Tubi, Free Comic Book Day stories, YouTube recommendation weirdness and canceled TV shows of the past
And here’s a link to Robert’s Retro Rewind

Multiverse Tonight is a geeky podcast that brings you all the latest news about your favourite TV shows and movies. Every other week, we cover DC Comics, Marvel, Star Trek and everything in between! This podcast has you covered with any big story or scoop on all of your fandoms.
Get ready to unmask the latest geek culture buzz with your host, Thomas Townley! We're swinging into action with a spotlight on Nicolas Cage's electrifying move to live-action as Spider-Man Noir—it's a twist that'll have Prime Video viewers clinging to the edges of their seats. But the web of intrigue doesn't stop there. A courtroom drama unfurls as Marvel defends its secrets, striking at the heart of online spoiler culture. And if that's not enough to get your super-senses tingling, Ralph Inneson’s upcoming role as Galactus in the Fantastic Four movie is gearing up to devour our anticipation. Plus, Disney's coy release tactics for the MCU have us questioning what caped crusades lie ahead.
Strap in for a hyperdrive through Disney's streaming empire, where Disney Plus emerges as the financial Jedi despite ESPN+'s stumble in the Sarlacc pit of profitability. This chapter isn't just about the numbers; it's a hero's journey into Marvel's expanding universe on Disney+. 'Daredevil Born Again,' 'Ironheart,' and 'Agatha All Along' are just the tip of the vibranium iceberg. Over in the DC dimension, Frank Grillo's addition to 'Peacemaker' Season 2 promises to supercharge the series. And between you, me, and the warp core, William Shatner's return as Captain Kirk might be on the horizon—with a little digital de-aging, of course. But is it time for the space-faring legend to chart a course for a peaceful retirement? Let's beam into that debate.
Finally, it's a farewell salute to Roger Corman, the undisputed king of cult cinema who catapulted many a Hollywood A-lister from obscurity to stardom. We're rolling the credits on his illustrious career, spanning low-budget triumphs to trailblazing indie films. Corman's legacy is a masterclass in moviemaking magic, proving that even the most modest of beginnings can lead to an empire of entertainment. Meanwhile, snack aficionados and Star Wars fans, prepare for the ultimate crossover—Star Wars Oreos are making the jump to light speed and into your pantry this June. All this, plus Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Tomb Raider touch and some animated antics from Fox's lineup, makes for a podcast episode so packed with pop culture, it could rival any Infinity Gauntlet.
