Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast welcomes back Mike Crowley of YPA Reviews for a weird and frightening look at Tim Burton's weird and frightening sequel, Batman Returns! The 1992 blockbuster finds the writer/director exploring the gross innards of iconic comic book characters in ways that audiences may not have been ready for. Does the film's prescience as a parable about today's socio-political climate redeem it somehow, or is it still just an oily fetishist's wet dream?
Also, the guys talk about Happy Meal toys, the complicated feelings engendered by Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman costume, and Hollywood's renewed focus on representation in film.
Episode 429 feels all...dirty!
