In this episode, to mark the release of the new incarnation of the Caped Crusader - Matt Reeves' 'The Batman' starring Robert Pattinson, we are dedicating an episode to exploring the twists and turns, the highs and lows of one of the most iconic superhero characters in cinema.

We have a bonus episode for you - a recording from our annual Creaky Chair Film Festival, a prestigious occasion which involves the three of us getting together in person, having some drinks and watching a few films. This recording captures our immediate hot takes on the carefully-curated film programme. We began by watching Ben Wheatley's latest folk-horror 'In the Earth' which was released earlier in the year, followed by Michael Mann's notorious failure - the war/supernatural horror with Nazis, 'The Keep' (1983). After that, we decided to lighten the mood with Buster Keaton's silent comedy classic 'Sherlock Jr.' (1924). Last but not least we waded into the sodden bayou with 'Southern Comfort' (1981), Walter Hill's war games thriller. Disclaimer: Alcohol had been consumed by the time this episode was recorded, so please forgive the uncharacteristic looseness and occasional dip in audio quality, hopefully you will still find it as engaging and entertaining a discussion as always!
