Like the incomparable Kobe Bryant, this episode is really something special.   The show opens with a brief discussion about Michael Keaton (2:02), the GOAT of all Batmans, and why you’re wrong if you can’t see that.  Post-Keaton, the guys get into what they’ve been watching in isolation, what they think of Tom Hardy, and re-watchable flicks — how to watch them, and why it’s worth it (5:49).  They fulfill their contractual obligation to talk about Star Wars and give mad props to Richard Linklater’s Before Trilogy before diving head first into TV talk (41:52).  Highlights from TV include modern masterpiece Dave, a Last Dance retrospective, and a total dismissal of the latest Seinfeld special.  Entertainment News kicks off at 57:44, the guys say goodbye to some late, talented greats and cover the reimaginings of sci-fi greats: Space Jam and Star Trek, before discussing a potential return of the movie theater experience.  As always, Patrick crushes Guess that Rotten Tomato score (1:14:04) and provides listeners with some wonderfully reflective and therapeutic shut-in flicks (1:20:17) before winding it all down with Hidden Gems (1:22:48).

Sincere apologies to all the listeners tuning in for a Lord of the Rings update; maybe next time.
