The Bad Read

Bad Producer Productions

Andy Lane and Luke Mounsey want to read early drafts of classic screenplays so you don't have to, and with a little help from their friends (lots actually) that’s just what they do. Each season a new movie, each episode the next act, and for Season 3 we’re celebrating the holiday season in style... Jeb Stuart's 1987 second revised draft of Die Hard. Based on a novel, that was written as a sequel to a movie starring a 60-something year old Frank Sinatra, that was based on a novel. What can go wrong?

The Batman (1983) - Tom Mankiewicz. Act 4

It's the last episode of The Batman and finally, things haven't gone well for Bat-Quimby! The Joker is killing people, The Penguin is on the scene, and the Batmobile has a cigarette lighter. Honestly though... what is going on?! No idea how this will end but we're headed to the circus because they've run out of clown themed locations. Who could Bat-Quimby possibly meet there?

Everyone knows Batman, right? Surely he, of all the comic book heroes, doesn’t need an origin story. But it was 1983...  a different bat time... a different bat place... Yeah, we went there. Not ashamed.
