Batman Returns brings audiences back to Tim Burton's dark, expressionistic version of Gotham City—only this time, the tone veers even further into gothic fairy-tale territory. The story centers on three broken souls colliding: Batman (Michael Keaton), still wrestling with dual identity; Selina Kyle (Michelle Pfeiffer), a timid secretary who transforms into the fiercely confident Catwoman; and Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin (Danny DeVito), an abandoned child raised in the sewers who rises to the city's surface seeking revenge and twisted legitimacy. Meanwhile, corrupt businessman Max Shreck (Christopher Walken) lurks behind the scenes pulling strings and fueling chaos. The film blends superhero action with horror-tinged fantasy and emotional tragedy, creating one of the most visually unique comic book movies ever made.If you are new to the podcast then please consider following us on the platform that you love, we can be found most anywhere that you listen to your favorite podcasts.

Michelle Pfeiffer is the reason for the season as Selina Kyle in and out of the bodysuit, Danny DeVito goes to a 27 and back, Jan Hooks shows up just before that nose bite happens, plus we get PeeWee and Simone, best featured Ice Princess, Danny Elfman's score, the Hello There neon sign and a chest voice close to our hearts.Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get access to Season 6 of Canada's Drag Race, plus brackets, movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for our current recap of Season 4 of Drag Race plus even more movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com

Character FocusSally takes center stage in this series. What aspects of her character did you want to explore or expand on that fans haven't seen before?3. The New CreationDr. Finkelstein's latest creation, Shiver, sounds like a charming new addition to Halloween Town. What inspired this character, and what role does Shiver play in the story's themes?4. Trick-or-Treat Trio TroubleLock, Shock, and Barrel are fan favorites for their chaotic energy. How was it writing for those three troublemakers, especially as they head off to Christmas Town?5. Visual CollaborationEdu Menna's art brings a lot of gothic personality to the book. How did you two work together to strike the balance between Burton-esque atmosphere and the fun of a family-friendly adventure?6. Tone and AudienceThe series is described as “perfect for all ages.” How did you balance writing something that works for longtime fans of the film and younger readers discovering Nightmare Before Christmas for the first time?7. Franchise LegacyThe Shiver of Christmas Town follows Long Live the Pumpkin Queen: The Graphic Novel. How does this story build on that ongoing relationship between Dynamite and Disney's Nightmare Before Christmas world?8. The Magic of Halloween (and Christmas)Without giving too much away, what do you hope readers take away from this story about the magic—or mischief—of the holiday spirit?9.

It's the Christmas Episode! (To the tune of The Christmas Song) Penguins roasting in the sewer pipes, Black fish goop on Danny's chin, Scary clowns with their guns all ablaze, and folks get thrown through high windows, Everybody knows A Batmobile with jet exhaust Helps to make the season bright, Catwoman flips, cracks, and struts through the pain, Walken won't sleep well tonight He knows that Batman's on his way, He's loaded lots of neat new weapons that don't slay And every Gotham goon will stop and whine To see ask setting clowns on fire counts as "fine" And so we're offering this simple phrase from Burton back in ninety-two, Although it's been said many times, many ways, It's a nightmare dressed in latex at the zoo

Junk Food Dinner returns for our annual holiday celebration and this year we're feeling particularly nostalgic! Up first, The Muppets gang crashes at Fozzy's mom's house for the holidays and they're bringing all their friends, even the Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock crew, in the 1987 TV special A Muppet Family Christmas. Then, we revisit one of Sean's favorite holiday traditions; we see what movies and electronics film critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert were recommending folks pick up in the Siskel and Ebert's 1990 Holiday Video Gift Guide! And finally, in the summer of 1992, one of biggest films was the blockbuster sequel Batman Returns. Tim Burton and Michael Keaton returned but this time Batman squares off against The Penguin (played by Danny DeVito) and Catwoman (played by Michelle Pfeiffer). But is it a Christmas movie? You bet your Batmobile it is! All this plus holiday cheer from our buddy Peter, tributes to some fallen heroes, Sean's epic new video mix tape and much more!LISTEN NOW:MP3 Direct DonloydAlso, if you like the show, please take a minute and subscribe and/or comment on us on iTunes, Stitcher, Blubrry or Podfeed.net.

Artist to create 'living museum' in Newburgh The first delivery of 24 tons of Vermont marble landed on the Newburgh waterfront earlier this month - the yellow crane and rockpile marking the start of a new sculpture park is visible from Beacon. Rhea Marmentini, 46, secured a five-year lease to create and curate a 2-acre Marmentini Living Museum just inside the fence at the Regal Bag factory complex. This is the first steppingstone in grand expansion plans envisioned by the artist and Bank Art Gallery, up the hill at Broadway and Liberty Street. Marmentini wants to place a string of mythical, mystical creatures from Governor's Island in New York Harbor (where she had a residency) upriver to whatever locales are receptive. She also works with granite on the waterfront in Athens, in Greene County. Newburgh is the concept's nucleus, and when the weather warms up, Marmentini will don ear and eye protection to wield a handheld grinder with artificial-diamond saw blades and shape shards of stone into her quirky works - although 24 tons of marble, the largest load that a flatbed truck can carry, looks larger in the mind's eye. "We're expecting a lot more deliveries," she says. Born in Hungary and raised in Spain, Marmentini is an international art rock star; her sculptures dot landscapes worldwide and her magnum opus, "Dragon de la Calderona," near Valencia, Spain, is a huge house built on a former quarry that looks like its namesake and took eight years to build. Last year, she decided to move to Brooklyn. Shirley Giler Noto, director at Bank Art Gallery, discovered her work on Instagram and began promoting her peculiar paintings, bas-reliefs and sculptures. No matter the medium, Marmentini's style is instantly recognizable. One marble statue at the gallery, "Flying Gaulkees," includes beasts with gold-leaf eyes that are neither fish nor fowl. In her work, lips often turn down, but the life-size sculpture "Catwoman," also in the gallery's cavernous subterranean space, is smiling and beguiling. Because Edward Doering owns Bank Art and the Regal Bag property, the deal to create a sculpture museum on the Newburgh waterfront zoomed from idea to reality in months. Things germinated when a representative from Garner Arts Center in Rockland County reached out to Marmentini and proposed a collaboration. Drawn to the river, she scouted Haverstraw's waterfront. When Noto heard the story, she had a eureka moment: Why not let Marmentini fill the flat, grassy area just inside the gate at the northern end of Front Street with large-scale sculptures? The living museum is intended to serve as the catalyst for a planned Hudson River Sculpture Walk that would extend beyond the former bag factory and other buildings, nearly to the Newburgh Yacht Club. Noto foresees plenty of lease extensions, but if any entity way down the line decides to remove the project, it will have to uproot concrete foundations, stainless steel anchors and the bulky artwork itself. Marmentini is sketching out a black-and-white sci-fi-style backstory about her future figures on high-end comic book paper, a mythology centered on the river's history and ecology for the last 10,000 years, after the glacier thawed. Despite being constructed from one of the planet's most resilient materials, the sculptures decay and change over time. "It would be cool if they gathered moss," she says. "Or if kids climb on them and a part gets knocked off." Bank Art Gallery, at 94 Broadway in Newburgh, is open from 4 to 8 p.m. on Friday and noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, or by appointment.

Welcome to the Video Store Podcast.It's Christmas movie season but not everyone wants peppermint sweetness and cozy small-town charm. Some of us want our holiday movies filled with explosions, heists and a whole lot of chaos.This week on the Video Store Podcast, I'm spotlighting four Christmas movies that trade twinkling lights for trouble. Reindeer Games (2000)Reindeer Games is a crime thriller set days before Christmas. When Rudy Duncan (Ben Affleck) is released from prison his only goal is to get home for Christmas. But when his cell-mate dies, Rudy steps into the man's shoes to meet his mysterious and beautiful pen pal, Ashley (Charlize Theron).One bad decision later and Rudy is trapped in a violent casino-robbery plot run by Ashley's unstable “brother,” Gabriel (Gary Sinise). With no options, Rudy is forced deeper into the operation and nothing is what it seems as alliances shift and lies are uncovered. Reindeer Games brings crime, plot twists and holiday mayhem together in one memorable movie.Batman Returns (1992)Tim Burton's Batman Returns is set against a dark, gothic backdrop of Gotham City during the Christmas season. Batman Returns introduces two iconic villains who become the city's newest threats. The first is Oswald Cobblepot, The Penguin, a physically deformed man who was abandoned by his wealthy parents and raised in the city's sewers by penguins. The second is Selina Kyle, Catwoman, pushed to her limit by evil businessman Max Shreck.Michelle Pfeiffer is the definitive Catwoman, seductive, broken and electric in every frame. Danny DeVito's Penguin is a grotesque and disfigured man, a departure from the comics. Christopher Walken adds a sinister element as the businessman Max Shreck.Tim Burton's vision partnered with Danny Elfman's haunting score creates a mesmerizing Christmas classic set in Gotham City.The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996)Samantha Caine (Geena Davis) lives a quiet life as a schoolteacher until a car crash triggers memories of her past life as a deadly government assassin.Samantha hires private detective Mitch Hennessey (Samuel L. Jackson) to help her uncover her past and together they set out to find the truth. Their adventure is full of gunfights, treachery, and some of the best buddy-dynamic chemistry of the '90s. Davis transforms from warm suburban mom to hard-boiled operative with shocking believability and Jackson delivers one of his funniest, most charismatic roles.Written by Shane Black and directed by Renny Harlin, The Long Kiss Goodnight mixes holiday atmosphere with espionage to create one of the 90's most underrated action movies.Lethal Weapon (1987)Lethal Weapon redefined the buddy-cop genre and set the standard for all future buddy-cop movies. Set at Christmastime in Los Angeles, the movie pairs veteran detective Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) with newcomer Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson). Their investigation into a young woman's suspicious death spirals into a violent clash with drug traffickers and the psychotic Mr. Joshua (Gary Busey).Lethal Weapon is full of heart, which is what you want in a Christmas movie. Riggs who is spiraling out of control from grief and Murtaugh, a grounded family man, form a bond that is convincing from start to finish. Also written by Shane Black, Hollywood's king of Christmas action movies and directed by Richard Donner, Lethal Weapon blends holiday themes with explosive action, dark humor, and iconic one-liners. Lethal Weapon is on of my favorite Christmas action movies.If you're looking for Christmas movies that are filled with action, these four belong at the top of your December movie list.Thanks for visiting the Video Store.

Send us a textRemember Batman Returns starring Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, Christopher Walken & Michelle Pfeiffer. Sure, you do. It ushered in a whole era of men wanting their girlfriends or wives to dress up as Catwoman, and it didn't even have to be Halloween. Well, this one takes place over the Christmas Holidays, so we're picking it as a Holiday Film. With an all-star cast, Tim Burton returning, we are signing up to watch '90s Batman fight the Penguin and Catwoman during the Holiday Season, and we'll see if this is a nostalgic gift under the tree or a lump of coal in the stocking. Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Things get weird on this week's Moviecast. Warner Bros was bought by Netflix, but now Paramount is attempting a hostile takeover with a huge offer that puts everything into flux. ScarJo is going to be in The Batman 2, but it sounds like Catwoman will not be there. At the box office, Five Nights at Freddy's 2 and Zootopia 2 make big bucks. #fnaf2 #thebatman2 #wb #netflix #paramount #dc #heat2 #streaming #tv #aycg #allyoucangeek #podcast

The Batman 2 Casting Rumors, Scarlett Johansson's MYSTERY Role, Stranger Things 5's Final Runtime, AND the Spider-Noir / Ben Reilly series?! Greg Alba & Coy Jandreau dive into all the wild entertainment news of the week — from Tarantino's fiery comments about Paul Dano and the ongoing online debate, to whether Scarlett Johansson is joining Matt Reeves' The Batman Part II as Poison Ivy, Andrea Beaumont / Phantasm, or something completely unexpected. We break down what's real, what's rumored, and what actually makes sense inside the evolving Bat-universe with Robert Pattinson's Batman, Barry Keoghan's Joker, Zoë Kravitz's Catwoman, Jeffrey Wright's Gordon, Andy Serkis' Alfred & more. We also react to the brand-new update that Stranger Things Season 5 will feature a 2 hour and 5 minute runtime for the final episode — the most cinematic ending the Duffer Brothers have ever done.

On this dark and rain-soaked episode of Big Trouble in Little Podcast, Andy, Joe Dubs, Zac, and Chaz step into the shadows of Gotham to dissect Matt Reeves' brooding detective-driven epic — The Batman (2022). The crew explores Robert Pattinson's younger, more unhinged version of Bruce Wayne as he navigates a city drowning in corruption, fear, and unanswered riddles. From Paul Dano's chilling take on The Riddler to Zoë Kravitz's magnetic Catwoman and Colin Farrell's unrecognizable Penguin, the guys dig into the film's noir influences, world-building, themes, sound, cinematography, and bold approach to Batman's mythos. Expect compelling analysis, jokes, debates, and maybe even a few riddles as the hosts decide where The Batman stands among the many versions of the Dark Knight.
This week on Big Trouble in Little Podcast, Andy, Joe Dubs, Zac, and Chaz return to Gotham one last time to discuss Christopher Nolan's epic conclusion to the Dark Knight Trilogy — The Dark Knight Rises (2012). The crew dives into Bruce Wayne's journey from broken recluse to symbol of hope, Bane's reign of terror, and the film's ambitious themes of pain, legacy, and redemption. From Tom Hardy's masked menace to Anne Hathaway's cunning Catwoman, the guys break down what worked, what didn't, and how Nolan stuck the landing on one of cinema's boldest trilogies. Expect passionate analysis, heated debates, and the usual blend of humor and insight as the hosts explore how The Dark Knight Rises brought the legend of Batman full circle.
Our hosts return to the podcave and sit down to watch the episode, You Scratch My Back. Alex and Will review the first appearance of Nightwing in any media outside of the comics. Discussing his little armpit wings, inability to flirt, newly single guy apartment, and the very peculiar way he discovered his superhero name. Our hosts also create a team name for Nightwing and Catwoman and yes, it's the worst one possible. Plus, they talk about how Nightwing isn't up to date on the geographical origins of produce, why Catwoman is a rebound hook up, and discover a side to Superman and the people of Krypton that we all didn't know about (#GoingSuperman).Thumbail Art: George CaltsoudasTip Jar: https://buymeacoffee.com/batmantaspodMobster Mash 1-2 Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/speechcomics/mobster-mash-1-2-classic-movie-monsters-as-mobstersJoin Our Discord - https://discord.com/invite/bQF76V3nUsOutbreaks Vol. 1 Kickstarter - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/speechcomics/outbreaks-volume-1-an-ongoing-zombie-anthology-series?ref=discovery&term=outbreaks&total_hits=1475&category_id=252Follow us on TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@batmantaspod?_t=8zn1yhsgnfz&_r=1Follow us on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@batmantaspodFollow the Pod on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/batmantaspod/Follow the Pod on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BatmanTASPod/Follow the Pod on Twitter - https://twitter.com/batmantaspod1Subscribe to Will's Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/willrobsonSpeech Comics Website - https://www.speechcomics.com/Will's WhatNot Page - https://www.whatnot.com/user/speechcomics
Remember Mandy? She's the one who left the Halloween party early after her boyfriend ditched their couples costume of a socket and plug and showed up as a “single guy zombie.” Her friends said he didn't seem too bothered she left, and was hanging around Catwoman all night… well now she's back with an update.

Most people probably don't realize Alex Borstein is the same actress who broke out on ‘MADtv,' has been voicing Lois Griffin on ‘Family Guy' for 25 years, and won two Emmys for her role as Susie Myerson on ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.' And yet, while she may still not be a household name, she has slowly but surely put together a more accomplished and steady career than she ever could have imagined. In this episode, the comedian talks about returning to her stand-up roots for her latest one-woman show, ‘Alex Borstein Is Thirsty,' and looks back on the twists and turns of her unlikely Hollywood journey. That includes her misgivings about how her iconic character Ms. Swan went from a loving impression of her grandmother to an unfortunate racist caricature and how she landed the lucrative ‘Family Guy' gig over some much bigger names. Borstein also gets into her beloved HBO cult classic series ‘Getting On' and why she decided to deliver an anti-fascist call to arms when she accepted her second Emmy Award for ‘Maisel.' And finally, a deeply embarrassing story about the time she appeared opposite Halle Berry in ‘Catwoman.'

Part 2 of our The Dark Knight Rises analysis dives into the details that make (or break) Nolan's finale: body language, costuming, set design, and character arcs. Anne Hathaway slinks her way through as Catwoman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt maybe-becomes Batman, and Batman trades his cape for a cappuccino in Florence. We'll pull apart the visual storytelling, the prison pit metaphors, and the way Gotham itself becomes a character. Finally, we'll ask: does Nolan's trilogy conclusion rise above the rubble—or just collapse under its own weight? ----more---- Thank you so much for listening!

You may know Jocelyn Wildenstein from those clickbait “PLASTIC SURGERY GONE WRONG” articles, but her story is deeper—and weirder—than you can even imagine. The wife of art-dealing royalty with a flair for acquiring wild animals as pets, Jocelyn made headlines as “Catwoman” for her plastic surgery obsession and her dishy, expensive divorce. But in the end, Jocelyn prevailed and walked away with a payout of 2.5 billion. Lena and Alyssa celebrate the money moves of a woman who truly follows her own script.

In the DC Spotlight for the week of October 15, 2025, Jace and Rocky hit a leaner stack with plenty to chew on—praising the tender, big-hearted close of Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton #5 while enjoying the Barry-centric lift and sharpened mystery in Absolute Flash #8 and weighing the mentor-meets-meteoric-rookie vibes of Nightwing #131, Rocky is especially reveling in the fizzy will-they/won't-they spark that steals the show in Batman/Superman: World's Finest #44 between Supergirl and Robin. The guys dig into Wonder Woman #25 for crucial context that makes the “Mouseman” era click even if the refrain wears thin and they celebrate the classic, high-stakes action of Superman Unlimited #6, debate the esoteric scale-up and striking visuals of New Gods #11 and appreciate Titans #28 as a grounded DC K.O. companion that sells the sheer logistics of a planetary evacuation., Justice League Red #3 has some slick action but stalled momentum so can this story come together in the end? Time will tell. Catwoman #80 continues to be an atmospheric Euro-caper with intriguing Falcone threads. It's an energetic, tour through craft, character, and where this week's DC lineup soars (and where it could hit harder) as con season winds down and the K.O. ripples roll on, so join us for all the details.

We argued why The Batman stays Elseworlds, side-eyed a Catwoman spinoff, and poured one out for Colin Farrell's Emmy. Then we dunked on Peacemaker's Nazi-verse twist (and the Fortnite emote that got smoked), plus Bond going “unknown,” Tom Holland's concussion halt, and a totally normal detour into Denver Airport conspiracies. Quick hits: • “BBC Jesus Christ” and other phrases we can't put on merch • Peacemaker S2E6: hype vs actually good • Avengers: Doomsday date set; we're already exhausted PS: No, we didn't mix that BeatBox + Cutwater + BuzzBall abomination.

Buckle up, Undressed-anistas, because this episode is a full runway of drama, laughs, fashion tea, and mystical revelations! Pol' and Patrik are back inside their Beverly Hills boutique with the fabulous Gogo Lomo-David (Righteous Gemstones, Shameless), and things get spicy fast. We kick off with Hot Topics — and no one is safe. From the shocking story of Lil Nas X allegedly arrested in Hollywood to the headline-grabbing relationship twists of JoJo Siwa, our hosts dive headfirst into fame's darker side. Gogo opens up about resisting Hollywood's vices, sharing how his Nigerian father and grounded upbringing keep him focused. The trio get candid about the dangers of “yes-men” in showbiz, the heartbreak of watching Anna Nicole Smithspiral after tragedy, and why goals and community are the ultimate antidote to self-destruction. But it doesn't stop there — the infamous Menendez Brothers parole denial sparks a raw debate on justice, forgiveness, and responsibility. From true crime to pop culture, the conversation swerves to Taylor Swift's jaw-dropping 12th album, “Life of a Showgirl”. Gogo calls it: another era-defining set of hits from the global superstar who built an empire on heartbreak and reinvention. Then comes Runway Rundown, where fashion meets fire. Pol' and Patrik pull up red carpet looks for Gogo to critique — and he doesn't hold back. From Luke Combs' ill-fitting Tweedledee vibes to Sydney Sweeney's dreamy ivory bustier dress (with a questionable headband), Danny McBride's off-shade suit, and Walton Goggins' risk-taking silk chemise moment, every celebrity look gets dissected. And when Chrissy Teigen struts in a daring mesh bustier gown with feathered mermaid skirt, it's Catwoman chic meets couture controversy. Even Gogo's own velvet tuxedo Emmy look and his playful pink jacket ensemble are up for critique — bow ties, microfiber jackets, and all. Next, it's game time with “Holy or Humbug” — a laugh-out-loud quiz where Gogo must guess whether outrageous televangelist scandals happened in real life or on Righteous Gemstones. Did Baby Billy abandon his kid at a gas station? Did a Texas church offer drive-through confessions during COVID? Did Joel Osteen really lock church doors during a hurricane? Holy or Humbug? You'll be screaming along as Gogo battles tricky wordplay and reveals behind-the-scenes tea. Finally, we land in the mystical with Pol's signature Armenian coffee reading — and it's pure destiny. In Gogo's cup, Pol' sees a butterfly, symbolizing transformation and fleeting beauty, and delivers a powerful message: a major relationship shift is on the horizon. This isn't casual—it's commitment-or-nothing, a love story written in the grounds. Vulnerability, healing, and fate collide as Gogo reflects on love, fear, and opening his heart again. By the end, he admits he feels “beautifully naked — emotionally, mentally, and physically.” From fashion critiques sharper than tweezers, to celebrity confessions, to mystical readings that could change the course of love, this episode has it ALL. Whether you're here for Taylor Swift, Anna Nicole Smith, Lil Nas X, Sydney Sweeney, Chrissy Teigen, or just Gogo's infectious energy, you'll walk away laughing, gasping, and maybe even believing in coffee-ground destiny.
Sean Young got her big break when she was cast in Blade Runner at 22-years old. But after rumblings that she was “difficult to work with,” and troubling romantic rumors, her reputation plummeted. Lena and Alissa trace Sean's career through her plea to play Catwoman to some ill-fated talk show appearances to Hollywood outcast. This episode was first published on 11/14/2019.

Halle Berry is an Oscar winner, Catwoman is a beloved comic book icon, and Sharon Stone is the perfect villain. It would be tough to screw this movie up, but lo and behold! Jason, June and Paul welcome Jamie Denbo (Kevin Can F**k Himself, Grey's Anatomy) to discuss the 2004 superhero flop Catwoman. Despite the occasional girl power messages and sometimes amusing witticisms, it revealed itself to be a poorly scripted, oddly dated mess.
