Because 80 minutes wasn't enough on the last episode, The Batmen Return to discuss how quickly Chris Nolan has fallen out of favor as well as The Caped Crusader's place among the vast pantheon of comic book characters like Shiny Face Guy, Lube Man, Josh Groblin and Doctor Eggman. We also discuss our March Madness Bracket Tournament to decide the Best Comic Book Movie of All Time, Beach House and the sexual tension surrounding Master Chief. (34:27) Former WWF Hardcore Champion Al Snow joins the show to talk about the infamous Kennel from Hell match, his long time frenemy Mick Foley, AEW's misguided attempts to keep up with the competition, who he would carve into Professional Wrestling's Mount Rushmore, his favorite comic book films and the lack of personality currently plaguing the WWE as we look ahead to Wrestlemania.

We've got a full house this week as Ben, Max and Ryan all sit down to talk with Grey Gordon about his numerous musical endeavors, the Demolisten podcast, forgetting how to play an entire album's worth of his own material, how the Marvel Cinematic Universe aren't really even movies and Norfolk, Virginia; followed by a deep dive into (23:23) The Batman. We discuss where Matt Reeves' new film ranks among the prior Batmen, the best on screen villains of Gotham, and how Batman personally helped Grey get through a case of the chicken pox. Also a momentary detour into Disney Star Wars. Our Best Comic Book Movie of All Time Tournament kicks off March 14th on Instagram and Twitter, so make sure you're following us to vote on who you think best represents the Comic Book Movie sub-genre. I'm sure it will remain entirely civil and reasonable.

For our season 1 finale, Max and Ryan shuffle through the 5 tiered recap of the best and worst movies of 2021 in The Year in Tiers. Along the way we also tackle overrated 80's franchises, Marvel's cheap ass CGI, group projects, Bronco Henry glamour shots, the inconvenient truths of Don't Look Up, deconstructing masculinity and traditional revenge tales as well as why #43 might actually be the best movie of the year.
