The Batman

This week, we inaugurate the year of Colin Farrell and return to the superhero mileu to talk Matt Reeves' dark reboot of the caped crusader, 2022's The Batman. Released to much acclaim as an exciting new vision, two and a half years later (well, June of 2024 when we recorded it) it's time to take a look back with clearer eyes and ask the question: wait, is this thing actually any good? No. The answer is no. Along the way, we talk the film's misguided politics, the crimes of Todd Phillips, Robert Pattinson the movie star, the vestigial nature of Colin's role, and touch on the elements of this that we do quite like. Ay! Take it easy sweetheart! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
