We have SUCH a cool interview in this episode that is one of a kind! At the Dark Knight Legacy event two weeks ago I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with the men who built the bookend of TV/Movie Batmobiles. I had a conversation with George Barris who designed and built the 66′ Batman Batmobile and Andy Smith who built the Tumbler (and had a hand in the 89 Batmobile) from the Chris Nolan Dark Knight trilogy… together. Both men, these… bookends of Batmobiles from classic to modern talk together about their craft and what went into their designs, processes and cars. This was a huge thrill for me to talk to these two men as a huge fan of both of those versions of Batman. I hope you find it as fascinating as I did to interview these visionary designers and legends in their field. And, of course, this week we are back to our usual shenanigans of discussing all of the previous weeks pop culture topics! In this episode we cover:

Hey Guys! 2 Episodes in 1 week? Nice. Always a welcome gift.
Yes, more Superman related ramblings…
Anyhow when it comes to Superman in Handcuffs… I figure that shows a pretty stark contrast in the difference between what kind of hero we are dealing with. While Dark Knight’s Batman would be more likely to start snapping arms and breaking noses to play Bat’n'Mouse across the rooftops of Gotham; Superman is the boyscout, regardless of whatever origin story we end up seeing in this latest incarnation, he is the obedient do-gooder, the ultimate public servant. He has an exemplary moral code and by allowing himself to be handcuffed or detained by officials he is basically bowing down to the law of Man though he himself is more than capable of flooring any army single handedly… literally… Also we still don’t know what the general plot order is of how we will meet these numerous Kryptonians so it’s probably much more in contrast to Zod and Faora’s introduction, which will no doubt be a tremendously be an overpowering destructive fanfare, Superman will appear to the trustworthy lesser evil of these Strangers From Another Planet, showing a submission to authority and humanity.
…yeah
Carry on you Propaganders of Paper, Plastic, and Pixel,

You guys don’t go up for air on this episode. We should all remember where we were when we heard about Rick McCallum “retiring”. The X-men continuity talk was very interesting. I also loved the GSI spin on The Hobbit movie being 3 l-o-n-g films. Loved the Batmobile interviews. With 10,000 listeners you would think there would be GSI Slash/fic out there. I guess the fans are too busy listening….slackers. Sorry to hear that the BBP figures are so frakin’ hard to make. My Dexter retro figure is getting further and futher away.
There are articulated Ren & Stimpy action figures. Ren’s facial expression is very exaggerated but the sculpts on both are really great. While Jazwares’ Nicktoons toys are available at other stores, the Ren & Stimpy stuff is exclusive to Target. Besides the figures and the PVC boxset there’s also some plushies.
