“The Zodiac Crimes” -- that three-parter with Joker AND Penguin! -- is a favorite arc from our childhood that seared itself into our memories — maybe more than we realized! In this episode we look at why this arc stuck with us, and whether it still stands up.

Also, Paul psychoanalyzes the Giant Clam...

I love the giant clam. Reminds me of little shop of horrors. Feed me, Seymore!

I've fallen three or four episodes behind thanks to an update to the iOS Podcast app which appears to have paused some of my subscribed auto-downloads.

Looking forward to playing catch up!

Thanks, Ben! In one of those recent episodes you will hear us read your very kind review on the UK iTunes store, which I finally found!

I will give this a listen, quite an ambitious trio of episodes.

While I may have more to say later, for now, I was disappointed in the way the museum fight scene was filmed, sometimes the action was hard to see, a statue even blocks some of it at the beginning, though that makes for an interesting effect I guess.
The editing is weird too, how did Robin get hoisted into the air? I do like Caesar's pouting when they dodge the spear. Nice lighting!
