GAM Bonus 082: Batman Forever
Added 2023-06-30 22:11:54 +0000 UTCThis month, our secular bonus episodes circle back to where they all began: Batman movies. Specifically, Val Kilmer's "Batman on sedatives" performance of 1995.

2024-06-17 13:17:23 +0000 UTCI know I am super behind, but I can’t believe Eli didn’t say anything about Noah’s slip up when he says “My butt fucking backup cam” at about 1 hour and 4 minutes

2024-04-13 13:34:46 +0000 UTCBatman doesn't kill people in the same way that people doing pacifist runs of Dark Souls "don't kill people".

2023-09-01 20:18:32 +0000 UTCone of the more insane skits they've ever done, fantastic work

2023-07-06 22:04:30 +0000 UTCI'd like to nominate SpaceCamp (1986) for the next secular GAM. About a bunch of kids that go into space accidentally because of a problem with the space shuttle. Coincidentally released just a few months after the Challenger accident. 😬

2023-07-06 02:59:29 +0000 UTCTwo-Face is never at odds with his coin. He's at odds with himself. Hence the coin. Harvey is constantly at odds with his alter ego (Bad Harvey). Maybe Harvey wants to spare a person while BH wants to kill them. Or Harvey wants to kill them quick while BH wants to kill them slow. But both sides fully respect the flip of the coin. He never gets pissy with the result. And neither personality are idiots who flip over the things Jones did. This is just Schumacher not caring about the source material. They're just cartoons to him.

2023-07-04 22:08:57 +0000 UTCI think Batman was okay with acid because he was played so... basic.

2023-07-03 17:52:24 +0000 UTCI think this is the second pg13 movie I ever saw in theaters...even then I remember it being kind of a train wreck, but most super hero movies were in the 90's And the batman forever snes game...my god, describing it as barely functional is generous. It's right up there with superman 64

2023-07-02 17:29:52 +0000 UTCI had this movie memorized as a teen, particularly Tommy Lee Jones' monologue. Whenever I'm making myself a cheap meal I'm reminded of the "Well, in your case, beer and pizza" line. This movie introduced me to a better version of Jim Carrey, too. I didn't like the Ace Ventura movies all that much. Entertaining but definitely geared toward the teenage boy crowd. "And what a grand pursuit you must be" gets me every time. I unapologetically still like this campy movie. It's the best kind of campy.

2023-07-01 18:30:14 +0000 UTCI feel that they are both terrible movies, but I enjoy watching B & R because it is so over the top insane and weird. To me, this movie is the boring kind of bad instead of the fun kind of bad.

2023-07-01 16:54:38 +0000 UTCBatman Returns from 1992 is my favourite old Batman movie from the 90s and probably my fav comic book film of all time. It's so absurdly campy and I love it. I'll be happy if GAM ever does Batman Returns.

2023-07-01 16:23:55 +0000 UTCthey so wanted two face to be the Joker in this, because that is how they make Tommy Lee Jones play him

2023-07-01 10:35:59 +0000 UTCSince the "chair" rushes you down and also dresses you as Batman, during the skit when they kept saying chair and activating it over and over I was imaging an endless amount of Batman suits being expended with no one in the chair.

2023-07-01 08:42:14 +0000 UTCIt would be appropriate if they announced a review of it, but didn't release the review until sometime in the next couple years.

2023-07-01 08:13:27 +0000 UTCI can't see BDW doing this roll. He's jucking Lando! He probably noped out just like Keaton.
Vincent Jorgensen
2023-07-01 05:48:32 +0000 UTCOh, and please don't take this to mean I'm defending this garbage movie in any way. I took my then-girlfriend to see it when it hit the cinemas, and I had to do a lot of apologising to ensure I'd get to marry her twenty years later.

2023-07-01 04:39:59 +0000 UTCI thought boiling acid was more reactive (don't yell at me, I failed high school chemistry), but when I looked it up, I couldn't find anything. What I DID find was that acid "boils" (bubbles vigorously) when it's more reactive, so the boiling could be all the metal and shit getting fucked up. Anyway, I wanted to be a pedant, so there it is. Hang on, someone at the door. You're who? The Pedant-Eating Monster? What the hell is- AIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

2023-07-01 04:37:43 +0000 UTCIt does. I feel like another recent episode also did but I'd have to go back through them.

2023-07-01 03:31:59 +0000 UTCMost people focus on Val Kilmer replacing Michael Keaton, but there's another notable recasting: Tommy Lee Jones is replacing Billy Dee Williams (who played Harvey Dent in the Burton movies).

2023-07-01 02:48:45 +0000 UTC1. Veggie straws are great. 2. Battleship would be great! I won’t watch it but would love to your a review

2023-07-01 02:23:39 +0000 UTCIs it just me or do these seem to cut off weird at the end like mid sentence or mid add

2023-07-01 01:16:22 +0000 UTCThank you for this! The 90’s classics I loved as a kid are so good to hear a hilarious review of.

2023-07-01 00:01:50 +0000 UTCThe Blast Zone Podcast covered it. This is going to be better, tho.

2023-06-30 22:35:12 +0000 UTCI wish you covered more CBM material, but I love it when you do.

2023-06-30 22:32:33 +0000 UTCI swear to Christ you guys did this one already. Well... Fuck it!

2023-06-30 22:30:08 +0000 UTCI apologetically love this movie. I can't wait for the roast!
Vincent Jorgensen
2023-06-30 22:14:46 +0000 UTCI remember hating this movie so much that when B&R came out, I actually didn't think it was as bad by comparison. Idk HOW I came to that conclusion, but there it is.
Bobby Tropicana
2023-06-30 22:14:33 +0000 UTCNever watched this one but I love Val Kilmer. I'm sure you all roasted him into the dirt, lol.
