This week, Danny's joined by graphic designer and author Stuart Manning to talk about the tremendously toyetic 1997 not-the-worst-ever movie Batman & Robin! If you don't have the time or inclination to like this movie, then don't worry, we will like (parts of) it for you.
Come back later in the week for Act 2!
The conclusion of our visit to the haunted hospital of The New Mutants! In Act 3, our five heroes finally come to terms with the fact that they are terrifying supermutants who cannot be contained by science or the supernatural.

The thrilling conclusion of our X2: X-Men United episode! I'm not going to lie to you, a lot of this episode is just Danny and Stuart saying the word "spillway". To be fair, that's pretty much what the movie is like. Also: Are you finding all the mutants?
