It seems Matt truly can just have everything he wants as he follows up on his most controversial selection ever last week with truly exhaustive detail on The Batman, resulting in one of our longest episodes ever. Sorry, Ben.
This is a first for this particular podcast, which used to have a 'No Capes' rule, but we tossed most of these restrictions out for this volume, which means the floodgates really burst as we get into one of fiction's most enduring characters, the career of Matt Reeves, the various influences of this movie and its messy development history and try and solve some riddles together.
Pack a lunch!
The tradition continues as Matt brings his annual eyebrow raising pick for Ben to politely tear apart. That's right it's time to talk the Netflixification of film, why everyone is so clean and what the heck has happened to most of these actors' careers as we talk The Harder They Fall.
Come and listen to two idiots locked in a life-long grudge talking about two idiots with a life-long grudge. Who's to say which pair are less qualified to talk about the subject matter, really? At least there's insane costuming and accent choices to lighten the tone!
Players of 'Stuff Matt Likes in Movies Bingo' should have their cards at the ready as we head to Norway to experience some deep Millennial Malaise. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll hear about The Benjis.
Make sure your seatbelts are fastened because it's time for 40 minutes of uncomfortable car journeys, rapidly-changing hobbies, ice cream in the snow and of course a great deal of allegorical discourse. Never change, Charlie Kaufman.
We're back baby!
We simply couldn't wait to start talking about the 2020s so decided to launch Volume 5.1 to cover 2020-2024, starting with Christopher Nolan's brain-breaking Tenet.
Does Matt even understand the film? Does he realise he keeps saying palomino? Is Princess Diana super tall in The Crown??? Find out now!
