Holy Ice Puns, Batman!
After ending November with the better-than-the-original sequel Addams Family Values and Jacques Tourneur’s queer-coded Cat People, we’re kicking off December with an annual discussion of a Batman film…only this time it’s queer filmmaker Joel Schumacher‘s much-maligned sequel: 1997’s Batman & Robin!
The film sees Batman (George Clooney) and his partner, Robin (Chris O’Donnell), attempting to the foil the sinister schemes of a deranged set of new villains, most notably the melancholy Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who wants to make Gotham into an arctic region, and the sultry Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman), a plant-loving femme fatale. As the Dynamic Duo contends with these bad guys, a third hero, Batgirl (Alicia Silverstone), joins the ranks of the city’s crime-fighters.

Episode 207: Batman & Robin (1997)
Please don’t send us to the cooler because we’re continuing an annual December tradition by covering a Batman film! Only this time it’s Joel Schumacher’s 1997 disaster Batman & Robin. Joining us for the conversation are return guests Patrick and Gena of the Kill By Kill podcast!
Join us as we try to figure out exactly what happened with this *waves hands frantically* thing. We go all in on what works (Uma! Colorful lighting!) and what doesn’t (pretty much everything else) about this much-maligned Batman film. Stay cool, everyone!
Cross out Batman & Robin!
Coming up on Wednesday: We’re continuing our wintry theme with a visit to the snowy mountains of Winnipeg West Virginia in Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings.
