Customer Reviews
A weekly treasure
Each week before I listen to your podcast, I subject my nine and seven year old boys to watch the episode with me. It’s great sharing this show and watching together. Their favorite episode is hands down “joker’s favor” mainly because of the fart music and dialogue when joker pleads to Charlie at the end. “Look Charlie, you’ve had a busy day, all this running around, all this excitement with -BATMAN!!” That episode is a treasure! Thanks for bringing such a regular informative and fun filled hour and a half with all the podcasts details and guest speakers. So much behind the scenes content I had no idea. I’ve listened to all of your episodes and look forward to the rest.
New Fan
Just found this podcast roughly a week ago. I’m working my way through the back catalog, currently about 23 episodes in.
Absolutely love this show. Literally everything you could want in a Batman TAS podcast. Both host are hilarious (will more so). Not only do the review the show episode by episode but they have numerous guests from the show on as well. I laugh out loud to myself every episode.
5 stars if I could give more I would. That said I’m not up to date in the show so barring anything crazy happening they got me hooked.
