Batman ’66 S2 Ep54 – Batman’s Waterloo

Though Batman escapes his watery trap, Robin is left in the hands of King Tut. The deluded villain still believes that Lisa Carson is really Queen Cleopatra, and calls Lisa’s father to demand a ransom of $8,300,487.12, the mortgage on the Pyramids. Using the Jolly Jackson radio show to communicate, Tut negotiates the terms of payment with Batman. However, the villain most likely intends to keep both the money and Lisa, and has further plans to fry the Caped Crusaders in his royal boiling oil.

Flopcast episode 715! With the Mayor away on special assignment, it’s a quick solo show with Kevin just yammering about comic books from 1976. Our collection of goofy 50-year-old comics includes: An evil space cowboy riding Superman, Harvey Pekar on the streets of Cleveland, the Joker and his pet hyena, Alfred E. Neuman as George Washington, Ronald McDonald in the Olympics, super heroes battling super gorillas, Andy Panda’s tricky pal Charlie Chicken, and much more. Half a century ago, comic books cost thirty cents. But this podcast is free. All we ask is that you waste your time giggling about Aquaman with us. #comicbooks #comics #dccomics #eso #esonetwork #geektalk #geekpodcast #geek #nerdtalk #nerd #nerdpodcast #podcast #flopcast

On this episode of Tales From Hollywoodland, the crew takes a heartfelt trip back through Hollywood history to celebrate some of the most unforgettable second acts ever put on film — the stories of the true Hollywood Comeback Kids.

These are the stars who once ruled the screen, quietly faded from the spotlight, and then stunned the world by coming back stronger than ever. We revisit Frank Sinatra’s career-saving triumph in From Here to Eternity, John Travolta’s jaw-dropping return in Pulp Fiction, and Robert Downey Jr.’s inspiring rise from troubled talent to global superstar. We also explore the powerful later-career chapters of legends like Marlon Brando, Audrey Hepburn, and Demi Moore, and how the right role at the right time reminded audiences why they fell in love with these stars in the first place.

Join us as we reminisce about the movies, moments, and performances that gave these actors a second chance at stardom. It’s a nostalgic celebration of resilience, reinvention, and the magic of the silver screen — because in Hollywood, sometimes the greatest stories happen after the comeback.

We want to hear from you! Feedback is always welcome. Please write to us at  [email protected] , and why not subscribe and rate the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, Pandora, Amazon Music, Audible, and wherever fine podcasts are found.

We discussed the Gargoyles in episode 265, but there was such interest in this topic that we had to do it again. Many years ago someone told Nathan that men and women view Gargoyles differently, but would not explain to him how, so we decided to do an experiment. Last time the women told us what they thought of Gargoyles. This time the men speak. Along the way we discuss favorite characters, favorite stories, and what makes Gargoyles unique and interesting. We also talk about the proposed live action reboot of Gargoyles and what we think of the idea. We get a lot of data, and we want to know from YOU if you think that our two panels view Gargoyles differently and what you think that is.

In lieu of a five-minute controversy this week we ask what everyone’s favorite Sean Connery appearance is.

This week Kevin, Shaun, and Nate join the cast.

Star Trek: Discovery completed its course after a five-year mission spanning CBS All Access and Paramount Plus. It was the first of the “new” Trek series and spawned its share of controversies as well as accolades. In this episode we review the fifth and final season of the series. We talk about the quest plotline and how we feel about the payoff. We discuss the utilization of the characters and whether we felt that they were used fittingly. We also get into the coda scene and whether we felt that it was a fitting ending for the series. Along the way we talk about lore expansions, narrative payoffs, and Discovery’s main achievements and failures.

This week’s five-minute controversy asks whether we think that it’s a good thing that Robert Downey Jr has been cast as Dr Doom in the MCU.

This week Stephanie is cohost and Stephen joins the cast. Ryan makes a brief cameo.
