Batman Forever

About this episode

Spencer and Max discuss the film Batman Forever and its impact on their childhoods.

*Cue Batman thumbs up gif* It is finally happening. Max and Host Spencer pay tribute to one of the greats (we love ya Val) and cover a movie that was integral to both their childhoods. This movie in itself is a riddle: What is good, but bad, bright, but dark, and has too many twos to count? That last part is a stretch but Two Face, two villains, two heroes, two versions of the movie (release the Schumacher cut)... you get the idea.
