This week the GBGBs tackle a movie that is oft cited (perhaps wrongfully?) as one of the worst films ever made, Catwoman (2004)! We also rope in returning special guest Ali to watch and review this iconic movie for the cat season. Halle Berry stars as Patience Phillips, a shy, reserved employee at an evil pharmaceutical company who is resurrected by an immortal cat after an assassination attempt and imbued with supernatural abilities. Patience assumes the moniker, Catwoman, and prowls not-Gotham to seek justice against the evil company and other wrongdoers. Also discussed: The 2005 Teen Choice Awards, how many cuts were in that basketball scene? Thanks for stopping by!
When four of Gotham City's supervillains team up to take over the world, the Dynamic Duo are the only two people smart enough to save the Security Council. But after Bruce Wayne gets kidnapped by Catwoman disguised as Comrade Kitka, his newfound love turns to heartbreak when her true identity is revealed. Why was the Batcopter decommissioned? Where have Bat standards fallen sharply? Who can't seem to speak to us normally? It's the episode that's willing to make a lot of logical leaps.Support the production of our shows Members get benefits including bonus episodes and an ad-free experienceSign up for our mailing listGet a thing at podshop.bizGreatest Trek is hosted by Adam Pranica and Benjamin Ahr Harrison The show is produced by Wynde PriddySocial media is managed by Rob Adler and Bill TilleyMusic by Adam RaguseaDiscuss the show using the hashtag #GreatestTrek and find us on social media:YouTube | Instagram | BlueskyAnd check out these online communities run by FODs: Reddit | USS Hood Discord | Facebook group | Wikia | FriendsOfDeSoto.socialSupport the production of Greatest Trek Hosted on Acast.

In a rare two-part episode, Gilbert and Frank are joined by not one, but TWO of the actresses to play Catwoman during the run of the classic 1966 “Batman” series, Lee Meriwether and Julie Newmar. First, Lee looks back on her reign as Miss America, impersonates Ed Wynn and threatens (promises?) to discipline Gilbert. Next up, Julie reminisces about working with everyone from Michael Rennie to Chad & Jeremy and favors us with her favorite Catwoman catchphrase. Also, Julie feuds with Jim Belushi, Lee hops a flight with J. Fred Muggs and Buddy Ebsen runs afoul of Shirley Temple. PLUS: “The Eddie Cantor Story”! The return of Billy Barty! Gilbert channels Sydney Greenstreet! And the strange mystery of Cesar Romero and the orange wedges!

(Or … “Knightfall - Part Two”!) There's a new Batman in town, and his name is Jean-Paul Valley, a.k.a. Azrael. While Bruce Wayne is recuperating from a broken back and mounting an international rescue mission, Az-Bats kicks Robin out of the Batcave, alienates Commissioner Gordon, and replaces the cape and cowl with high-tech armor. But his more aggressive attitude has unexpected consequences for the innocent victim of the villain Abattoir. We'll talk about the creators behind the titles involved and how their approaches to showing an out-of-control Batman differ, discuss the pervasive themes of mind control throughout the storyline, and speculate about why for many years DC seemed hesitant to reprint the story of how Bruce Wayne's back actually gets healed.Discussed in this episode: Batman #501-508, Detective Comics #667-675, Batman: Shadow of the Bat #19-20 and #24-28, Catwoman #6-7, Robin #7, plus material from Knightquest: The SearchDonate to the fund to repair Wayne Manor at patreon.com/ironageofcomics
Jace and Rocky break down all 13 DC releases for the week of July 15, 2026. Nightwing #140 brings Psycho Pirate into Dan Watters' Blüdhaven mystery by tying the city's violence to Medusa architecture instead of the Medusa Mask. Wonder Woman #35 works as a Wonder War interlude that retells Diana's origin through Steve Trevor explaining Wonder Woman's history to Trinity. End of Life #6 has Eddie Stallion try to leave Pluto before his reunion with Sophie convinces him to stay while the Menagerie's assassins keep closing in. Batwoman #5 has Kate Kane rescue Alice by removing her mask and reaching her sister directly, while Mother Despina warns that winning may still mean losing. Deathstroke: The Terminator #5 reveals the person behind the attacks on Slade and ends with a threat to Rose Wilson that she may not survive. Absolute Flash #17 ends the Gorilla City story in tragic fashion with the young Grodd caught between loyalty to his father and his bond with Wally. Batman/Superman: World's Finest #53 highlights Dick Grayson's skills as he tries to break Batman and Superman free from Tyrannus Rex's control in Skartaris. Dark Knights of Steel 2 #1 expands the medieval DC world beyond the original kingdoms as Kara is welcomed into Amazonia, Batman remains separated from the League, and Amanda Waller's secret villainy continues to hang over the larger story. New Titans #37 hints at Static joining the team while giving Kid Devil more spotlight and continuing Spoiler's rise into a stronger leadership role. Lobo #5 has the network ordered to bring Lobo back, only for the executive to put a contract on him and send Lip Bomb after the Main Man. Catwoman #89 pushes Selina deeper into her Gotham war with Black Mask while bringing her connection to Carmine Falcone closer to outright confirmation. Superman Unlimited #15 builds on the Ultra Boy reveal by showing Jon Kent's faith in him pay off, while Superwoman's arrival keeps the Earth-3 story from ending cleanly. Absolute Green Arrow #3 shifts further into Black Canary's investigation as the issue reveals Miraclo, Rex Tyler and anti-aging experiments tied to the billionaires being targeted. They also give a rundown of this week's collected editions, reprints and facsimile releases. As always, all books are ranked from top to bottom and each host gives a Book of the Week pick.

AwesomeCast 787 gets practical, futuristic and increasingly strange as Sorg, Katie Dudas and Dave Podnar explore family-safe phones, connected health gadgets, USB-C mysteries, robotic limbs, Instagram's latest AI privacy controversy and Fortnite's revealing new take on the DC Universe. Sorg also begins downloading the iOS 27 public beta during the show, despite Katie's warnings and a few concerns being saved for the Patreon aftertalk. Stories and Gadgets Discussed A wireless microphone saves the podcast: When Dave's regular microphone setup breaks, he switches to a compact dual wireless microphone system that connects through USB-C. The plug-and-play backup works with phones and laptops without a complicated setup. Omron 7 Series Bluetooth blood pressure monitor: Dave reviews a new connected blood pressure monitor after getting inconsistent readings from an older device. He highlights its larger arm cuff, support for two users, storage for multiple readings, three-reading averages, Apple Health integration and the ability to export results for a doctor. https://amzn.to/4yncwxY Pinwheel phones, watches and home phones for kids: Katie introduces Pinwheel's managed technology ecosystem for children and teenagers. Parents and caregivers can control approved contacts, monitor texts, restrict social media, set bedtime schedules, review locations and gradually unlock features as a child gets older. The company also offers a standalone smartwatch and a Wi-Fi-powered corded home phone that brings back the satisfaction of dramatically hanging up. https://www.pinwheel.com Kennywood's reopening and the mystery bag gamble: Sorg recounts a delayed visit to Kennywood after a water-main break interrupted opening day. His $5 mystery merchandise bag produced a Kennywood gaiter, a vintage postcard and a Jack Rabbit 100th-anniversary pin.

Batman: The Movie (1966) is a campy, quotable time capsule that helped turn a modest TV show into a pop culture icon. Adam West's earnestness, the film's comic-book style, and its playful villains make it a perfect snapshot of 1960s charm and lasting nostalgia.

REVIEWS ROCKETEER: INFILTRATOR #1 Writer: Gabriel Hardman Artist: Dean Kotz Publisher: IDW Publishing Cover Price: $4.99 Release Date: July 08, 2026 It's the height of World War II, and Betty is a Nazi collaborator! Or so we're led to believe. As Allied planes mysteriously explode in midair across Europe, rumors of a Nazi superweapon compel the U.S. to send its fastest asset undercover: the Rocketeer! With Betty posing as a defecting American actress in a German motion picture, Cliff Secord, a.k.a. the Rocketeer, accompanies as her brother and manager. And since neither has experience in deep-cover work, the Allies send a handler to support them—a debonair MI6 agent who assumes the role of Betty's co-star. The Rocketeer will need to maintain his cover, destroy a superweapon no Allied agent has actually seen, and keep Betty away from the handsome British secret agent with a penchant for beautiful women. It's a lot for a reckless stunt pilot to handle! MIDNIGHT ISLAND #1 Writer: Lylian Artist: Nicolas Grebil Publisher: Papercutz Cover Price: $9.99 (digital $5.99, Hardcover $14.99) Release Date: July 28, 2026 Mysteries unfold in this adventurous series set on an enigmatic island full of secrets and wonders—it's Lost for a younger generation. Four children wake up on a deserted island. After taking refuge in an abandoned boarding school, they find an automaton who, every night at midnight, gives them a mission. If they fail or refuse to take up the challenge, the consequences could be terrible. From mission to mission, the children explore their surroundings, encounter other participants, and try to discover the reasons behind their presence on this island… TRADE DISCUSSION CATWOMAN: LONELY CITY Writer: Cliff Chiang Artist: Cliff Chiang Publisher: DC Comics Cover Price: $29.99 Ten years ago, the massacre known as Fools' Night claimed the lives of Batman, the Joker, Nightwing, and Commissioner Gordon…and sent Selina Kyle, the Catwoman, to prison. A decade later, Gotham has grown up—it's put away costumed heroism and villainy as childish things. The new Gotham is cleaner, safer…and a lot less free, under the watchful eye of Mayor Harvey Dent and his Batcops. It's into this new city that Selina Kyle returns, a changed woman…with her mind on that one last big score: the secrets hidden inside the Batcave! She doesn't need the money—she just needs to know…who is "Orpheus"? Looking for more?

Horror history gets iconic, aquatic, gothic, apocalyptic, and completely unhinged this week as This Week in Horror History travels through June 15–21 with motel terror, shark sequels, dark superhero nightmares, zombie blockbuster chaos, and one wild space-vampire cult classic that brings cosmic horror crashing down on Earth.This episode digs into a packed week of classic horror movies, cult horror, summer blockbusters, gothic comic-book horror, zombie disaster cinema, and 1980s Cannon Films madness, including the New York premiere of Psycho, the U.S. release of Jaws 2, the theatrical arrival of Batman Returns, the blockbuster zombie outbreak of World War Z, and the Deep-Cut Spotlight on Tobe Hooper's bizarre 1985 space vampire epic Lifeforce.Inside this episode:• Psycho rewrites the rules of horror moviegoing, turns the Bates Motel into a nightmare landmark, and makes one ordinary shower one of the most famous crime scenes in cinema.• Jaws 2 drags audiences back to Amity Island for more shark terror, seaside panic, and one of horror's most frustrating “nobody believes the guy who is right” sequel setups.• Batman Returns transforms Gotham into a twisted Christmas horror fairy tale full of sewer lairs, circus gangs, stitched leather, abandoned children, corporate monsters, Catwoman, and the Penguin.• World War Z reimagines the zombie apocalypse as global disaster cinema, with the undead moving less like slow corpses and more like a rushing human flood.• The Deep-Cut Spotlight goes to Lifeforce, Tobe Hooper's strange, ambitious, and deeply excessive Cannon Films cult classic about Halley's Comet, alien vampires, life-draining seduction, plague victims, and London falling apart under cosmic horror.Plus: a horror birthday roll featuring Courteney Cox, Laurie Metcalf, John Carl Buechler, and Nicole Kidman, a creepy look at how horror became a massive summer marketing event, and a weekly recommendation for Hammer's Dracula, also known as Horror of Dracula, starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.From Norman Bates and shark-infested beaches to Gotham monsters, zombie swarms, Halley's Comet, space vampires, Hammer horror, and Cannon Films insanity, this week proves horror history can be classic, blockbuster-sized, cult, strange, seductive, and absolutely impossible to ignore.
Jace and Rocky break down all 13 DC releases for the week of June 17, 2026. They discuss Batwoman #4, where Kate Kane and Renee Montoya begin searching for Alice as the mystery involving Beth, the Darkseid cult and Gotham's elite finally starts coming into clearer focus. Absolute Flash #16 sends Wally and Linda deeper into their search for Ray Palmer as young Grodd leads them toward Gorilla City and the Rogues close in. Batman/Superman: World's Finest #52 continues the heroes' adventure in Skartaris as Robin joins Travis Morgan and his allies while Tyrant Rex uses magic to turn Batman and Superman against them. Deathstroke the Terminator #4 finds Rose Wilson saving Deathstroke before father and daughter struggle to connect during a tense conversation that forces Slade to confront what kind of parent he has become. Lobo #4 follows the Main Man's attempt to break into Superman's off-world "Fortress of Storitude," bringing him into conflict with Supergirl while Krypto and Dawg create their own chaos. Absolute Green Arrow #2 sees Dinah Lance and Merlyn questioning figures from Oliver Queen's past while the mysterious archer targeting billionaires remains one step ahead of their investigation. Catwoman #88 reveals that Katarina Belova survived the fire and has been manipulating Black Mask's campaign to destroy Selina, bringing the European conspiracy and Gotham storylines together.

Look what the cat dragged in. Absolute Catwoman #1 is out now wherever rad comic books are sold, and we're joined this week by co-writer Che Grayson to discuss the first issue in detail. Yes, this is another full spoilers conversation. So, if you haven't read the comic yet, press pause, go do so, and hit us up when you're done. You've previously heard Grayson's co-writer Scott Snyder say on Comic Book Couples Counseling that Absolute Catwoman is the Batman of this universe. She's got the money. She's got the butler.

What was your approach to making this version of Selina feel immediately distinct from page one? This Selina feels very self-made, with high-tech gear and a life she's built outside Gotham. What interested you about exploring her at that stage in her life? The Absolute Universe already introduced Selina in Absolute Batman. How did you approach taking an established version of the character and expanding her into her own series? Speaking of collaboration, how do you and Scott split the writing duties? Are you breaking story together, or does one of you take the lead in certain areas? Bengal's art really sells the motion and the tech, especially in action scenes. How closely are you working with him in terms of visual storytelling, and were there any sequences you were especially excited to see him bring to life? The Calicos are a really intriguing addition, with that more classic Catwoman-inspired look. What can you tease about their role in Selina's past and how they shape who she is now? This version of Selina has some bold new elements, including her enhanced gear and abilities. Without spoiling too much, how far are you planning to push what Catwoman can be in the Absolute Universe?

The cast for The Batman: Part II is starting to come together, and it already looks like one of the most stacked comic book movie ensembles in recent memory. Robert Pattinson is back as Batman, with major returning players like Andy Serkis, Colin Farrell, Jeffrey Wright, Jayme Lawson, and Gil Perez-Abraham helping carry Matt Reeves' Gotham into its next chapter.In this episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, Frank breaks down the confirmed cast, the new names joining the sequel, and the biggest question hanging over the movie: who is actually missing? With Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, and Barry Keoghan not currently listed, the conversation turns toward Catwoman, Riddler, Joker, Harvey Dent, and whether all that snowy imagery could be teasing Mr. Freeze.00:00 The Batman: Part II Cast Is Looking StackedFrank opens with the confirmed names and why the missing cast members may be the most interesting part of the update.00:14 Returning Cast From The BatmanRobert Pattinson, Andy Serkis, Colin Farrell, Jeffrey Wright, Jayme Lawson, and Gil Perez-Abraham are discussed as key returning pieces of Reeves' Gotham.00:33 New Cast Members And Mystery RolesSebastian Stan is reportedly tied to Harvey Dent, while Charles Dance, Sebastian Koch, Brian Tyree Henry, and Scarlett Johansson raise major questions.00:51 Missing Names From The First MovieZoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, and Barry Keoghan are not currently listed, which stands out after Joker and Riddler were teased together.01:18 Could Mr. Freeze Be The Big Bad?Frank connects the snowy imagery to Mr. Freeze and explains why the character could fit perfectly into Matt Reeves' grounded Gotham.01:50 Who Will Be The Villain Of The Batman: Part II?The episode closes with speculation about Harvey Dent, Two-Face, Penguin, Joker, Riddler, and Mr. Freeze.The Batman: Part II has a strong returning cast led by Robert Pattinson as Batman, Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon, Andy Serkis as Alfred, and Colin Farrell as Penguin.Sebastian Stan reportedly playing Harvey Dent could be a major clue about the sequel's focus, even if he does not become Two-Face right away.Scarlett Johansson, Brian Tyree Henry, and Sebastian Koch are confirmed without roles, making them the biggest sources of speculation.Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, and Barry Keoghan are not currently listed as returning, which is especially notable after the Joker and Riddler tease in the first movie.The snowy imagery surrounding the sequel has Frank wondering if Mr. Freeze could be part of the story.The cast has serious awards pedigree, making The Batman: Part II feel like a major expansion of Matt Reeves' crime-focused Gotham.“Batman Part II cast is looking pretty stacked, but I think it's the missing names that are more interesting.”“Barry Keoghan was specifically teased at the end of the last movie, so I had assumed that he was going to play some part in the next movie.”“Catwoman leaving Gotham makes sense to me, because her whole point was to erase her identity so she could have some freedom.”“We're getting a lot of snowy imagery from different places, so I'm hoping that's teasing Mr. Freeze.”“With this cast, I mean, think about how stacked this cast is. This is an all-star cast.”Subscribe to Geek Freaks Headlines for quick breakdowns of the biggest movie, TV, gaming, and comic book news.

The last time we were joined by Patreon backer John Wickham, he played a little game with Will, channeling his inner Edward Nygma, and got Will to select the theme for this episode. The theme we wound up getting were three stories with art by Irish born artist Liam Sharp. And so we have a mini-series written and drawn by Sharp teaming up Batman and Wonder Woman, a Catwoman anthology that has all of four pages of Sharp in it, but a ton of great work from other creators, and a mini-series drawn by Sharp and written by Garth Ennis. Oh, Garth Ennis, comics' greatest superhero hater.

We made it to the finale of 1966’s Batman Season 1. Mark Hofmeyer from Movies Films & Flix joins me for another romp with The Penguin. And it’s also his first ever foray into 60s Batman. We shall return in July to celebrate the 60s anniversary of the movie, but until then, as Catwoman would say – TTFN! Another week, another set of factoids and weird stats that I hope you are enjoying in this retrospective look back at 60’s Batman as it turns 60 years old. Follow Mark on social media @mhofmeyer @moviesfilmsflix -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return Monday to begin The Summer of 86 at 40 with Scott Mendelson and Aaron Neuwirth. 60s Batman at 60 returns in July with the feature commentary for Batman: The Movie (1966).

Just as they did on Episode 147, so they are doing so again on Episode 149 as the Film ‘89 team travel back in time to 1966, this time to celebrate the 60th anniversary of both a film and television show that, for a brief two-year period, was a worldwide phenomenon. Starring Adam West and Burt Ward, the television show is of course, Batman, and it would then transition to the big screen with 1966's Batman: The Movie. Skye and returning co-hosts John Arminio and Martin Kessler, explore what made the show such a hit and take a deep dive into a film that pits the Dynamic Duo against not one, but four of their most heinous super-criminal nemeses, The Penguin, The Joker, Catwoman and The Riddler. For those weaned on darker takes on the character from the likes of Frank Miller, Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan, this take on Batman will seem like a garish, high camp, and therefore barely recognisable iteration, but sixty years on, the show and movie still have a huge and loyal following. So slide down the Bat-poles, set atomic batteries to power, turbines to speed and join us in a celebration of ‘60s Batman.

Jace and Rocky break down the DC releases for the week of April 15, 2026. Lobo #2 is discussed as a surprise standout with its corporate bounty hunter premise, meta humor, and unexpected fun factor, while Deathstroke the Terminator #2 follows Slade Wilson through an extremely violent and grief-driven search for whoever is manipulating him after Wintergreen's death. Superman Unlimited #12 centers on the return of a younger Jon Kent, the sacrifice being made by the older Jon Kent as Tomorrow Man, Lois being brought to tears by seeing Jon again, Damian's suspicion that something is wrong, and the possibility that the returned Jon may not actually be the real younger Jon. Nightwing #137 focuses on the sniper situation on the Blüdhaven bridge and the contrast between Batman and Nightwing's approaches, while Batwoman #2 features Kate Kane in a brutal confrontation that appears to end with her using lethal force to save her father. New Titans #34 reveals Cyborg split into separate human and cybernetic entities, Catwoman #84 continues Selina Kyle's conflict with Black Mask and Katarina Beloff as her inner circle is targeted, End of Life #3 blends absurd humor, strong action, and emotional material with Eddie Stallion caring for his dying father, Wonder Woman #21 continues the Wonder War storyline with its possible-future setup and split narrative structure, and Absolute Batman #19 is discussed in terms of its shock-value storytelling, Scarecrow's appearance feeling more like future setup, and a major character death that lands as wasteful rather than earned. As always, the episode also includes the week's rankings, Book of the Week discussion, and a rundown of the reprints and collected editions.

A few weeks ago I came across an online video from a comic convention featuring a phalanx of comic book figures — life-size statues, painted to look like they'd walked off the pages of a comic book. Their creator is Greg Maraio, an actor and artist in Boston who fills his time between shows with this unique project that's turned into an artistic calling … though for many years, it seemed like it was bringing him to financial ruin. We'll have that interview in a moment. First a quick reminder that I host weekly livestreams every Sunday on Twitch, and I hope you'll join me for those.

In Volume 1 of The Best of The Secret Cabal Gaming Podcast, we're cracking open the vault and revisiting some of the wildest, weirdest, and most unforgettable moments from the show's history. We're talking chicken wing sauce on the cards, Catwoman miniatures, Turkey Man, the Wood Booger, anal beads, Chris playing with a pig, Steve Dice Clay, Tony's bathroom habits and night terrors, and almost getting kicked out of Origins Game Fair. It's wild, crazy, bananas, boombastic, brilliant, magnificent, monumental and meshugenah - it's The Secret Cabal Gaming Podcast.
