They talk racial stereotypes, having reactions to movies you have only seen the TV version of and, of course, someone attempts a Brian Blessed impression.

They discuss each sketch as well as humour which leads to talk of British panel shows and both hosts seem to have a different definition of what makes someone "camp".

Your Soulless Minion, Josh, is joined by Tysto and Mike and Max from Commentary Track Stars for this commentary on the 1992 film Batman Returns. That's right. Batman has RETURNED. So has Keaton and Burton. Added to the mix are some new villains -- the cold blooded Penguin and the vivacious Catwoman.But how does this film stack up against its predecessor? Do the Catwoman and Penguin work as characters? Is Batman still the mysterious Dark Knight or just a co star? Is the movie too dark or not dark enough?

John Pavlich (http://www.sofadogs.libsyn.com/) and Tysto (http://www.tysto.com/) join me once again for a commentary on the 1997 sci-fi film Gattaca. This film is the freshmen effort of writer and director Andrew Niccol who has been apart of many critically acclaimed and noteworthy films such as Lord of War and The Truman Show. Even if you're not interested in his works it can be said that looking at the credits of Andrew Niccol his oeuvre definitely reflects a unique eye and style.  Please join us as John, Tysto, and myself examine some of the finer points of Gattaca. Some of our discussions include -- its relevance in today's world, (was it perhaps ahead of its time?) the philosophical debate of free will versus determinism, it's place in the realm of mystery noir as well as retro sci-fi, it's wonderful score and set design, and my admiration of Ethan Hawke.

Fellow fan commentator Tysto (http://www.tysto.com/) joined Justin and myself (Your Soulless Minions of Orthodoxy) in our recording studio for a collaborative commentary on the 1988 Sword & Sorcery Epic--Willow. This was a blast to record because of course three heads are better than two. But also because the three of us of really like the film. Not only for nostalgia sake, but for the fact that its a stand out of its genre that still holds up today. As with other films of its kind Willow draws upon a shared pool of mythical elements - a child of prophecy, an evil queen, a lovable rogue, a hero on a journey, etc. But those familiarities shouldn't keep anyone of this generation or the last from enjoying this underrated film. Either young or young at heart Willow takes you on his journey with him. Sync Point: The black point immediately after the Lucas Film title card has faded away. Email us
