Bonus Episode 6 - The LEGO Batman Movie

December 23, 2017

It's a Holiday miracle! We managed to get this out before Christmas! Join the AATW crew as we celebrate the most joyous time of year by recording a 3+ hour episode over the film you, our fans, voted on: The LEGO Batman Movie!

Featuring an all-star voice cast including Will Arnett, Rosario Dawson, Michael Cera, Ralph Fiennes, Zach Galifinakis and a ton of other fantastic actors who get like maybe 2 lines each, the movie pits unwitting new dad Bruce Wayne against his greatest fear: becoming part of a new family. Also, Voldemort and some Daleks?

As you listen to us debate over what does and doesn't work in this comedic take on everyone's favorite Bat-themed vigilante, you will hear us discover Cameron's firm stance re: American Tragedies, Graham and Zack's burning hatred of Jane Austen and Mitch digging too deep into the improv well with no chance of rescue.

Episode 48 - Be A Clown (Batman: The Animated Series S01E09)

November 22, 2017

Everybody loves clowns! Especially the citizens of Gotham City! No terrible baggage there!

We meet Gotham's favorite clown, Jekko, who DEFINITELY isn't the Joker and DEFINITELY didn't kidnap the Mayor's son after crashing a children's birthday party. Also, Batman is here.

As we talk about how much we all love clowns (especially Graham) we watch Batman and pals recreate The Prestige, rant about Nick Spencer some more and talk about Hellboy for a solid 30 minutes.

Your Komix Korner recommendations this week are Southern Cross by Becky Cloonan and Andy Belanger and Hellboy by Mike Mignola.

Episode 25 - The Last Laugh (Batman: The Animated Series S01E04)

March 22, 2017

Hey everyone, this is Zack! Mitch was unable to upload the episode this week, so I had to fill-in. Unfortunately, I wasn't on this one! So I'm gonna make my best guess about what happens:

The crew is joined by Kendall, our first non-bonus episode guest, as they discuss the second Joker-focused episode of Batman so far. And there's only been 4 episodes! Cameron probably references no less than 3 but no greater than 5 BibleThings, Graham sniffs a bunch and Mitch is the only thing that keeps people coming back.

Your Komix Korner/The Fuck You Read?'s recommendations for this week are Detective Comics by James Tynion IV and Eddy Barrows and Spider-Man: The Lost Years by J.M. DeMatteis and John Romita Jr.

Bonus Episode 1 - Batman: Under the Red Hood

December 15, 2016

IT'S A BONUS EPISODE, NERDS. After a long delay, you can finally hear Zack, Graham and Mitch discuss fan-favorite Batman flick, Under the Red Hood! It's very good! Mitch reminds us of this several times. In between the familial angst and shocking reveals, we discuss what makes a good Joker, whether Ra's Al Ghul is a secret Dracula and how many wrestling references is too many! (It is one, one is too many.)

Episode 7 - Christmas with the Joker (Batman: The Animated Series S01E02)

November 16, 2016

Ho ho ho, listeners. Hope you're prepared for an expired egg nog induced fever dream because this episode is WEIRD. Joker terrorizes the city of Gotham, the spirit of Christmas and our expectations of what BTAS is supposed to be. We also discuss how much A Christmas Story sucks (a whole bunch), the wonderful caption work they are doing at Amazon and proper Joker Hostage Etiquette.
