Hace 30 años llegaba al cine "Batman Forever", el intento de WB de corregir el curso de la franquicia de Batman en el cine como un tanque de taquilla que además pudiera vender toneladas métricas de merchandising luego de que su entega anterior, "Batman Returns", tuviera una recepción no tan favorable para algunos sectores (más que nada los interesados en vender toneladas métricas de merchandising). En los últimos años, además de volverse un ícono de la nostalgia de los 90 y una visión bastante interesante de lo que era el tratamiento de Batman en aquellas épocas, los desafortunados fallecimientos de Joel Schumacher y Val Kilmer la han vuelto a poner en boca del fandom en búsqueda del tan mentado "Schumacher Cut", que incluiría varios elementos que quedaron apenas sugeridos en el corte final. Con todo esto y además siendo su aniversario, ¿qué mejor oportunidad que ahora para revisitarla? ▶ Encontranos en nuestras redes: IVOOX: https://bit.ly/3vKq8FE SPOTIFY: https://spoti.fi/3hJzh9g INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heroes.radio Cafecito: https://cafecito.app/heroesradio Apple Podcast: https://bit.ly/3VkP3fV Google Podcast: https://bit.ly/3vgwM8U

To the Batmobile! This week marks a major milestone — the 30th anniversary of Batman Forever! Drew Barrymore made her one and only leap into the superhero universe with her memorable turn as Sugar, the angelic half of Two-Face's duo of femme fatales. With her “glitter dipped” Marilyn Monroe-inspired performance, Drew lights up the screen in her brief but iconic moments.We're diving deep into the film's production — from how Drew landed the role through her friendship with director Joel Schumacher, to her dynamic with the star-studded cast, and the stunning style that made her character unforgettable. Plus, we've uncovered the scoop on two deleted scenes featuring Sugar and her dark counterpart, Spice!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our ⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit us on the web!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@howdoyoudrewpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠howdoyoudrew.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@drewseum⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thedrewseum.com

On today's episode, we discuss a movie that is deemed one of the worst Batman movies ever made by some.  Others call it a misunderstood classic.  This movie was the second film ever to cost more than $100 million to make and It was the movie that helped the Batman franchise break the $1 billion mark at the global box office.  The first batman movie to refer to batman as the dark knight.  We are of course talking about 1995's Batman Forever. •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:04:00 - Memories of first viewing •0:08:30  - Pertinent movie details  •0:15:00- Critical and fan reviews •0:24:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:46:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS- ****ASPCA-  To learn more about Pet Health Insurance, visit http://aspcapetinsurance.com/breakfast  ————————————————— **Support us at http://patreon.com/confusedbreakfast for bonus weekly episodes, voting on upcoming movies, giving your modern-day ratings on our movies and much more. **Mail us something   The Confused Breakfast PO Box 10016 Cedar Rapids, IA 52402-9802 Special thanks to our executive producers- Josh Miller, Starling, Michael Guiliano and NicMad.

Happy 30th anniversary, BATMAN FOREVER! We don't need The Schumacher Cut to celebrate you - we just need an open mind about where camp sits in the Batman mythos. So, are you Team Carrey or Team Jones? Are you a U2 person or a Seal fan? Where do you place Val Kilmer in the Bruce Wayne rankings? We discuss all that and more in this Real Talk segment!

In this episode, the hosts revisit the neon-soaked, over-the-top world of Batman Forever in honor of its 30th anniversary! From Val Kilmer's stoic take on the Dark Knight to Jim Carrey's unhinged Riddler and Tommy Lee Jones' chaotic Two-Face, we explore what worked, what didn't, and why this Joel Schumacher-directed spectacle remains one of the most divisive Batman films ever made. Was it a misunderstood gem or the beginning of the Bat-franchise's descent into camp? Tune in as we dissect the film's legacy, behind-the-scenes drama, and the tantalizing myth of the Schumacher Cut.

On this episode of Remainders we watch the 2000 film The Beach. Leo's first major role to come after the star making success of Titanic, time has been kind to this movie about disaffection and discovery in a pre-9/11 world with emerging technology. Directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, the film's roster has also led to a decades later reappraisal. If anything, The Beach is an incredible time capsule of late 90s/early 2000s culture and zeitgeist.Other topics include Danny Boyle's filmography, movie soundtracks and discovering new music in the 90s, 2000s music, new VHS in the collection, screenings in the cemetery, the Phoenician Scheme and Wes Anderson's style and legacy, Darren's new painting for Punk Rock & Paintbrushes, Brian Wilson, and Batman Forever and the rumored Schumacher Cut.Songs of the WeekDon't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder) by The Beach BoysDarlin' by The Beach BoysA Three-Legged Workhorse by This Will Destroy YouRemainders Podcast Jukebox PlaylistWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter

It's episode 100! To celebrate, Kyle welcomes writer, author, and podcaster Rosie Knight to discuss her work writing Godzilla comics, including a story starring Doug the kaiju in Legendary's Monsterverse Declassified. And because it's episode 100, they also talk about Batman Forever a little bit.

It's the 30th anniversary of Batman Forever, which makes a perfect episode for our Season Eight premiere. Joel Schumacher's zany, neon-drenched take on the Caped Crusader was polarizing but proved very popular at the time. It's gotten a lot of hate over the years but we suspect it has its fans. Guest Ryan Moran returns to share his love for it.___Please consider joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wwibofficialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whywasntitbetterInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/wwib_officialTwitter: https://x.com/WWIBpodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wwibpodcastSubscribe!

Batman Forever attempted to course correct the Caped Crusader's big screen adventures after its predecessor, Tim Burton's Batman Returns, was deemed too dark. Swapping Burton for Joel Schumacher in the director's chair, the film certainly has a different feel than Returns. It trades the dark and moody Gotham for a more campy, neon soaked one. That change may have led to greater receipts at the box office, but it hardly equated to a quality film. Batman Forever isn't without its charms, but it is also a tonal wreck, whiplashing between introspective musings of what it means to be Batman and the Two-Face/Riddler comedy hour. It's no wonder than that its star, Val Kilmer—who stepped in for Keaton—wanted no part of a sequel. Judging by our Batman & Robin pod, he made the right choice. Now, sit back, find the courage to fight crime with a Shiner Black Lager from Spoetzl, and don't over kung-fu your laundry! The Thunderous Wizard, Chumpzilla, and Bling Blake are joygasming all over Gotham! This Week's Segments: Introduction/Plot Breakdown – Courage now, truth always, Batman forever!

Fantastic Four advance tickets go on sale, a colossal Galactus popcorn bucket is revealed, a new Superman promo and loads of movie news. Plus fans strike back after a screening of a Batman Forever directors' cut is canceled. Hilarity ensues?

Send us a textRemember the 90s, when superhero movies were still figuring out what they wanted to be? Before the sleek, unified vision of X-Men or the cultural juggernaut of the MCU, there was "The Phantom" (1996) – a fascinating relic that demonstrates exactly why superhero cinema needed a complete overhaul.In our latest episode, we venture deep into the jungle of Bengala with Billy Zane's purple-spandexed hero as he pursues magical skulls, fights pirates, and somehow manages to keep a straight face while doing it all. The Phantom originated in comic strips back in 1936 – predating Superman and Batman – as the first true costumed hero. But what works on the newspaper page doesn't always translate to the big screen, and this film struggles mightily with that translation.Treat Williams steals every scene as villain Xander Drax, delivering deliciously campy line readings and creative murder methods (microscope eye-stabbing, anyone?) that suggest he understood exactly what kind of movie this should have been. Meanwhile, the rest of the cast – including a young Catherine Zeta-Jones – seems trapped in a more serious adventure that never quite takes flight. We analyze the film's curious place in superhero movie evolution, sitting awkwardly between the camp of Batman Forever and the more grounded approach that would soon revolutionize the genre.The Phantom provides an unintentionally hilarious time capsule of mid-90s filmmaking choices, from its Indiana Jones aspirations to its baffling mythology involving skull lasers and a wolf that can apparently communicate with horses. What went wrong? What occasional moments work? And why can't we stop talking about that purple costume? Listen as we unpack this bizarre superhero curiosity that reminds us how far the genre has come.Written lovingly with AIBe our friend!Dan: @shakybaconTony: @tonydczechAnd follow the podcast on IG: @hatewatchingDAT

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a fantastic neo-noir that is carried by outstanding lead performances from Robert Downey, Jr. (RDJ) and Val Kilmer. Written and directed by Shane Black, it is a film that thrives on its witty banter, sleek visuals, and intricate plotting. Ok, that latter bit can sometimes be a bit convoluted, but that doesn't detract from the repartee. Kilmer has never been better than he is here. And RDJ capitalized on his exceptional performance as Harry Lockhart to catapult back into the mainstream. Yes, he's that good in this. Sadly, this movie didn't fare nearly as well at the box office as its spiritual successor, The Nice Guys, nor did it ever get the sequel it so richly deserved. Now, sit back, choke down a Rowdy Peach IPA from Sweetwater Brewing, and avoid peeing on the corpse!

30 years later, Dan and Vinny sit down to talk about Batman Forever. It's hard to believe this movie turns 30 this year, but here we are. Dan and Vinny talk about what worked, what didn't and what was just kind of there. Sound off! What do you think about this movie?

Tonight... On the North American Friends Movie Club.A complicated billionaire.A beautiful doctor.And a machine that drinks your brain!We watched the 1995 American superhero film - Batman Forever.So instruct your movie butler to begin popping the corn.And descend into your subterranean movie-watching command center.Because the riddle is when does the show start, and the answer is right now! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

*Cue Batman thumbs up gif* It is finally happening. Max and Host Spencer pay tribute to one of the greats (we love ya Val) and cover a movie that was integral to both their childhoods. This movie in itself is a riddle: What is good, but bad, bright, but dark, and has too many twos to count? That last part is a stretch but Two Face, two villains, two heroes, two versions of the movie (release the Schumacher cut)... you get the idea.

In Episode 409 of Friends Talking Nerdy, hosts Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd dive deep into a heartfelt and wide-ranging discussion that spans Hollywood, professional wrestling, and British sci-fi.The episode opens with a tribute to the legendary actor Val Kilmer, who recently passed away. Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd reflect on Kilmer's diverse and iconic filmography, sharing personal stories and thoughts on his most memorable performances. From the enigmatic Jim Morrison in The Doors to the cool intellect of Real Genius, the hosts explore Kilmer's range and charisma. They praise his unforgettable turn as Doc Holliday in Tombstone, his magical role in Willow, and even delve into the controversy and stylistic flair of Batman Forever. The discussion takes a thought-provoking turn as they examine The Chaos Experiment, a lesser-known film with eerie relevance to today's U.S. political climate, underscoring Kilmer's later-career choices and the unexpected legacy some of his work may leave. Naturally, no conversation about Kilmer would be complete without mentioning Top Gun, a film that helped define an era and cemented Kilmer's place in pop culture history.Next, Tim the Nerd switches gears to the squared circle as he offers his insights into the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame inductees. He celebrates the long-overdue induction of Triple H, reflecting on his in-ring legacy and behind-the-scenes influence. Tim also discusses Michelle McCool's contributions to the women's division, the undeniable charisma and strength of Lex Luger, and the tag-team chaos brought by The Natural Disasters—Earthquake and Typhoon. A special segment is devoted to the induction of one of wrestling's most iconic moments: Bret Hart vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13—an induction not of a person, but of a legendary match that defined the Attitude Era. Tim explores how this match's storytelling and in-ring psychology continue to influence professional wrestling to this day.Finally, the episode wraps up with Tim sharing his initial reactions to the new season of Doctor Who on Disney+. Despite high hopes, he expresses disappointment, critiquing a perceived disconnect between the show's creative intentions and what actually makes it to screen. Tim explores how Doctor Who's new direction may be missing the emotional and narrative impact longtime fans expect, offering a thoughtful take on what's working and what's falling short.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.
