60: Materialists & Batman Begins: Bachelorhood in the Big City

Contact the Show!What do a brooding billionaire vigilante and a charming, commitment-phobic romantic lead have in common? More than you’d expect. In this episode, Mike pokes at the surprising parallels between Materialists, a sharp romantic comedy set in the world of NYC’s dating scene, and Batman Begins, the shadowy reboot that gave us a darker Bruce Wayne. From penthouses to personal demons, Mike explores how both stories wrestle with identity, responsibility, and the complicated lives of wealthy urban bachelors. It’s romance meets reckoning—with a cape or without.
