A group of super villains have set a doomsday device to go off in one hour and the superheroes must find it before it's too late.  

​John and writer Jim Beard and filmmaker Robert Long are in the Batcave this Christmas Day and discussing the two episode series of specials featuring Adam West, Burt Ward and Frank Gorshin reprising their classic Batman 66 roles.  The first episode is an actual story, of sorts.  The second episode is a roast.  Seriously, it's a roast of the heroes by the villains.  In this episode, we look at the casting of heroes for this team, the lack of real action, and the range of Frank Gorshin.

2001  PILOT  NO AIRDATE

In 2001, the Krofft Brothers attempted to bring back Electra Woman and Dyna Girl for a more modern audience with, what appears they thought were modern sensibilities.  Electra Woman has fallen on hard times as she lives in a trailer park and Dyna Girl has run off with her husband.  A young college student whose Electra Woman had saved as a child makes it a point to return the favor, but she may wind up regretting that decision.

This time around, John and Kevin Eldridge of The Flopcast discuss the ever youthful Markie Post, the use of suggestive situations and language, and should this be looked upon as a sacrilege or as a possible contender for something worthwhile.  Take a listen and let us know what you think by writing us here or at [email protected].
