  • This episode sees the RETURN of Alex and his good buddy Ben (co-host of Watching Films on the Toilet Podcast) as they sit down to review, BATMAN RETURNS.

    It's Christmas time! And nothing says Christmas like incel sewer babies, awkward lip licking Batman, and an immortal super-powered Catwoman.

    Alex shares some fun facts about the making of this movie, Ben brings out his Christopher Walken impression, and both of them comment on how horny this "meant for children" movie is, and what Alfred would look and sound like in the Catwoman costume.

    Happy Holidays!
