S11: Episode 521 - Batman Returns (with Jamelle Bouie)

Author: WHM Entertainment December 15, 2020 Duration: 2:30:31

On this week's WLM episode, the gang welcomes friend of the show, Jamelle Bouie back to the program to heap endless praise on one of the all-time greats, Batman Returns! Has Michelle Pfeiffer ever been better? Why did Batman have to 'scratch' the CD of the Penguin recording? How terrifying is that abandoned zoo? And has a family film ever embraced the threat of child murder more? PLUS: Oswald Cobblepot: the David Koresh of the Gotham sewer?

Batman Returns stars Michael Keaton, Michelle Pfeiffer, Danny DeVito, Christopher Walken, Michael Gough, Michael Murphy, Cristi Conaway, Andrew Bryniarski, Steve Witting, Jane Hooks, Vincent Schiavelli, and Pat Hingle; directed by Tim Burton.

For over a decade, the crew at We Hate Movies has been turning cinematic misfires into comedy gold. Each episode from WHM Entertainment finds a quartet of friends dissecting a famously bad film, from forgotten straight-to-video oddities to big-budget Hollywood disasters. The conversation is less a formal review and more like eavesdropping on the funniest, most brutally honest film debate at a bar, where tangents about obscure actors and baffling plot holes are not just encouraged, they’re the main event. You’ll hear them mercilessly roast wooden dialogue, ill-conceived special effects, and questionable life choices made by characters and filmmakers alike, all while building a surprising affection for these flawed creations. This podcast thrives on the specific joy of tearing apart a terrible movie with your most sarcastic friends, celebrating failure as its own form of entertainment. It’s a consistently hilarious escape for anyone who finds more genuine laughs in a film’s awkward silence or a poorly rendered CGI monster than in a perfectly crafted Oscar winner. The chemistry between the hosts turns each episode into a freewheeling comedic breakdown, making even the most tedious movie an absolute delight to revisit through their critical and deeply silly lens. Tune in for a masterclass in comedic riffing, where the love for cinema is undeniable, even when-or especially when-the movies themselves are not.
