Bat-freaks! An extra-stuffed episode awaits you as legendary comedian BradChad Porter grapple-guns by to try and unpack why Batman seems tailor made for the big screen!

Important questions are raised, such as: what does Batman have in common with Zorro and Davy Crockett? Has any actor had as much fun as Jack Nicholson did while making Tim Burton's Batman? Why does the character seem to thrive so much on reinterpretation? What made Batman Begins feel so revolutionary? Is Batman Forever actually kind of a secret masterpiece?

BradChad shares why he thinks animation is "cinema perfected," mass shootings and real-life violence in relation to Batman's ever-moving stature in culture are unpacked, and Will Arnett is given his rightful due in the Bat-canon.

It gets personal and kooky, sometimes all at once, so settle in with some popcorn WINK WINK.
