Has there been a softer Little Boy Bruce Wayne in cinema? Why couldn’t they have put a little more spirit gum on Liam Neeson’s goatee at the beginning? How fantastic is Cillian Murphy in this and shouldn’t Scarecrow have been a larger character? Does anyone have proof that Pennyworth was a real show and not just a tax shelter? And why can’t more studios look to these Nolan films to reassure themselves that it’s… okay to recast an actor? Hmm? PLUS: Batman blows his fortune on movie merch!

Why couldn’t they figure out some way to get the movie out of this house for a few scenes? Does this film universe presuppose that all of us have hidden serial killer desires?

What was his deal?” - Steve  On this episode, the 2023 Halloween Spooktacular continues with a convo about the stunningly terrible prequel Exorcist: The Beginning!
