178 - Josie & The Pussycats with Niall McGowan In this episode, we're strumming the power chords of early 2000s pop culture with the glittering, satirical cult classic Josie & The Pussycats! Joining us is none other than Niall McGowan, co-host of Bat Minute and a connoisseur of all things comic and cinematic. Together, we dive into the neon-drenched world of Josie, Melody, and Val as they rocket from small-town dreamers to unwitting pop pawns in a plot to brainwash teens. We explore the film's razor-sharp (and still shockingly relevant) commentary on consumerism, the music industry, and branding overload, all while appreciating the infectious soundtrack that still slaps today. Niall brings his signature wit and deep pop culture knowledge to unpack the film's surprising comic roots, its place in early-2000s cinema, and why Josie & The Pussycats deserves way more love than it got on its original release. So slap on your cat ears, crank up the volume, and join us as we celebrate one of the most delightfully subversive "bubblegum" movies ever made!

Good boy! Not all that good actually... the tackling sends Joker's buzzer careening right into the electronics, triggering the deadly space laser! Maybe ya goofed, dog. INCOMING!

Minutes 46-50 We're back as Barbara and Batman have… uhh… saved Robin. Kind of. Did Harley perish? Terry seems to think so, but if we know DC they won't hesitate to claw somebody back... and I think they just might do it. No body? NO DEATH! And even then... Bruce FORBADE Tim to be Robin ever again. I get it though - I mean, the kid was REALLY messed up by all of this. He also said that he would never take on a young partner again. Also a good call - STOP ENDANGERING OTHERS. Cut to Tim, hard at work in the present day. He seems fine. He's fine... right? YEAH, MUST BE! Even so, Terry wants a little chat...

Minutes 41-45 HOW COULD HARLEY DO THIS?!?!? Eh, she's done... well, maybe not WORSE, but things of a comparable nature I suppose.

Meanwhile, we discover just WHAT The Joker did to this poor kid and... oh boy... it's DARK, people! The Joker even goes full Palpatine.

Minutes 26-30 Terry's bro wishes he was an only child. We've all been there, man. CEREAL FLICK TO THE FACE, LOSER! Cut to the club. Again. Did you expect this much clubbing action in a Batman film? We sure didn't! Dana burns Terry good - she absolutely destroys the guy. He's toast. Before he can even recover he's swarmed by... some mysterious ladies, both wanting a piece. Guess what though... IT'S A TRAP! A TRICK! A RUSE! Jokerz time... Oh yeah... and Bruce is brutally attacked by the man himself, whatever. The next episode follows in one week! Same Bat Pod, different Bat Minute!
