About this episode
The episode dives deep into the animated film Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, exploring its themes and character motivations.
Today we look at Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. Directed by Bruce Timm and Eric Radomski, it's often described as the best Batman movie of all time and is definitely Sophia's favorite which is why we did back to back movie episodes. Listen as we dive deep into the underpinnings of what makes Bruce Wayne tick and why Hart Bochner plays such a great coke-head.At one point I mis-identify the person behind the Folding Ideas YouTube page as Dan Larson. Folding Ideas is actually Dan Olson. Dan Larson is the guy behind Toy Galaxy. There are too many Dans. Email us at VertigoVoices@gmail.com. I demand it.
