This episode we wrap up our Summer of Commentaries series with one of the most (unfairly) hated movies of all time, BATMAN AND ROBIN! Drag performer/Youtube fragrance guru Alex Pearl joins us as we reconsider Joel Schumacher's universally despised comic book confection and find a lot to love. A gloriously over the top 60's throwback, 1997's not-so Dark Knight adaptation finds new purpose as an antidote to today's gloomy, monochromatic takes on Bill Finger's super-detective. From it's color saturated photography to its enormous physical sets and unapologetically campy tone, BATMAN AND ROBIN makes a case for why our dreary modern movie landscape could use a day-glo injection of 90's excess. Who else but Cherry Bombs would celebrate the 25th anniversary of this neon-soaked, glow-tastic cinematic Bat-rave?
