Cult Spark Podcast #57 — The Batman

As if suddenly awakened from a deep slumber, the Cult Spark Podcast is back, baby. And all it took was a new Batman movie that our intrepid hosts, Robert Taylor and Stewart Smith, just felt like they had to talk about. In this brand new episode of the podcast — our first in more than three years! — Bob and Stew discuss Matt Reeves' new film, The Batman, from every angle: The cast. The story. The dark tone. The length. The Batsuit. The Batmobile. The upcoming HBO Max spinoff shows. No Bat-stone is left unturned! In addition, they pour through Batman film history, playing a game of "Overrated, Underrated, or Properly Rated" with every single theatrically-released Batman film dating back to Tim Burton's 1989 crowd-pleaser. If you've missed our podcast, or if you're just keen to hear two dudes talk about Batman for over an hour, you're one button press away from giving your ears the sweetest gift we can offer — a brand new episode of the Cult Spark Podcast!
