Ah, I remember the good old days, when the tail wagged the dog so hard it had to go and get a spare dog.
This week on the podcast, Ryan Roe from the Muppet movie podcast Movin' Right Along joins me to discuss Batman Forever, the 1995 film that set new standards for movie merchandising. We talk about the stars of the film — McDonalds and Kenner Toys — and also, to some extent, the actual movie.
Batman Forever features an unforgettable Jim Carrey as not-quite-the-Riddler and a shouty Tommy Lee Jones as not-really-Two-Face, and involves no actual crime-fighting on Batman's part. I thought that stories were supposed to feel perfect and powerful, but this turns out to be the other kind.
The podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, YouTube, Overcast, Audible, Stitcher and lots of other places. Come check it out!
