Podcast appearances and mentions of lola lasagne

The Penguin steals a priceless folio of famous parasols from the Gotham City Library. He plans to wager the $10,000 earned from its ransom on a rigged horse race. Aided by his partner-in-crime Lola Lasagne, he disguises the favored entry Parasol as the unknown "Bumbershoot," then enters a painted glue factory horse as "Parasol". With everyone betting their money on the fake horse, it looks like the Penguin will make a fortune when the real Parasol wins the race.

The Penguin teams up with parasol collector Lola Lasagne. Together, they plan to rig the upcoming Bruce Wayne Handicap to make a fortune from Lola's prize racehorse Parasol. They break into Glu Gluten's Glue Factory to steal a condemned horse, planning to switch horses before the race and make their money by betting on the real Parasol. When Batman, Robin, and Batgirl catch up with them at the glue factory, Penguin sneaks outside and plasters the Batmobile with a sticky glue.

Joan Collins guest stars this week as The Siren. That's right, this is Joan Collins vs Batman! This is followed by the return of Burgess Meredith as The Penguin w/ stage legend Ethel Merman as the oddly named super villain Lola Lasagne. That's some serious star wattage! Dan and Nick discuss these curious episodes, delving in deep. Well, BATMANLAND deep.

In the first two-parter of season three, Penguin and Lola Lasagne horse around with the Wayne Foundation's charity horse race. Before getting in the saddle, Tim and Paul first look at some background on season three: shooting order of episodes, the reasons for multi-part season three stories, etc. The Sport of Penguins and A Horse of Another Color are a rather strange pair of episodes. In spite of having two whole episodes, the producers still skip important scenes, as was typical of the one-part Batman stories. Besides the problem of "checking in" with all the characters, what else might have been making them short of time? And why are these (supposedly) Billy May-scored episodes so full of of recycled Nelson Riddle music? Were Burgess Meredith and Ethel Merman "comedy gold" together? With a Charles Hoffman script?! How should we think about those "next week's villain" scenes that don't fit into the continuity of the episodes they promote? Also, the Bob Kuban and the In-Men version of the theme, and your mail! Is Billy Mac, writer of the Batgirl Theme lyrics, an alias for William Dozier? Yes, and Jim Akin found proof!

The biggest weekend in Brighton's LGBTQ calendar - covered by Pride Director Paul Kemp, Stephen Richards aka Lola Lasagne, and Billie Lewis and AJ Patterson from the LGBT Community Safety Forum, and organisers of the Access Tent and Women's Performance Tent respectively.
