I almost picked up my cat to see how many nipples he has. Sometimes I hate myself.

[@josephfisher426]

I have a carbon-black cat whose nipples stand out b/c he has light skin. It's six or eight. But maybe the maximum number wouldn't develop on a male?

[@dellytancyl524]

LOL! man I totally dodged that temptation.

If we can get a spin off series about Picard, we can definitely get a reality style series about a group of Cardassians.

[@grahamcann1761]

My favorite "Penguin" moment comes from Burgess Meredith in 1980. In 80 he hosted, with Priscilla Presley and Jim Stafford, a show called "Those Amazing Animals" in which they'd feature stories about animals. In one episode they featured a large number of penguins and at the end of the segment Burgess Meredith adopted his Penguin voice from his time in the 60's Batman show, and told the penguins to follow and he'd show them how to walk like the penguins do, and then turned his back to camera and waddled away... the penguins seemed to look at each other, and then followed en mass. And it just looked so much like how Burgess was walking it has long stuck in my head, almost forty years later. As always, thank you so very much all for your wonderful video.

[@ZipplyZane]

If you or anyone reading this ever finds a clip of this, please reply with it. It sounds amazing.

This is my favorite Batman movie prior to the Nolanverse. But I fully admit that it is more a Tim Burton movie than a Batman movie.

What do I have to do to get John Bailey onto this panel??👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Thermalions]

Agreed, they should get him along on occasion.

[@jbearclowater]

I'm not sure if Jon Bailey is local to them, necessarily. I know he lives in Cali, but I'm not sure if it's something that he could make the time to go and film in person too often, with the travel time and his other voice work commitments. I'd love to see him do it though.

[@RaniniPastel]

I’m pretty sure in the “makings of honest trailer” video they did they said Jon Bailey actually lives in Tennessee? And isn’t local. He’s been to LA a few times I’m sure and was most recently on a movie fight about two years or so back

[@kevinw712]

I gotta think springing for a plane ticket would probably do it lol

[@tornadochaser2457]

The ridiculous, over the top stuff works much better in this film, compared to the sequels, as it's grounded in characters that feel real due to having relatable, human feelings motivating them. The villains in the next two films are cartoon characters (not to disparage cartoons! - I'm referring to very simple cartoon-making with little ambition, the type usually made exclusively to entertain children), with no real, palpable depth. Also, stylistically, I think the dark, gothic atmosphere is much more pleasing visually, compared to the garish bright, neon colours.

[@c.b.5535]

I think Edward scissorhands deserves its own honest trailer.

[@stagewalker]

[@rogeriu]

While Porn Parody titles are no longer punny, the Batman XXX Porn Parody is incredibly tonally faithful to Adam West Batman. Also the Spider-Man XXX Porn Parody has more canonically accurate character dynamics and backstory than most of the Spider-Man films. Yes, I actually watch porn parodies for the plot.

I could listen to Spencer talk for hours...he’s one of the funniest people I’ve come across!

[@Fawkes2574]

Batman (1989) from Burton was a good film. It was this one, Batman Returns, where the Burton/Shumacher franchise started to go down the toilet. Because it became LESS about the hero, and more about the Villains & who would play them. I remember after the first one came out, all the rumors flying around at the time on who was going to be in the sequel. That Nicholson would return to play Joker. Robin Williams would be The Riddler, Danny Devito would be Penquin, and it was either Cher or Madonna to play Catwoman. It all became less about the hero and more about the villains, and also about the soundtrack and marketing. And then Shumacher buried it in its grave from that point.

[@pigmiwarriorentertainment274]

I re-watched the film right before watching the trailer & was sure you'd mention the ridiculous fireplace. I swear there's a solid chunk of tree the size of a car in there. Considering you didn't have the same high opinion of this one as Joe you all really enjoyed talking about it & quoting from it, I definitely think it's underrated. 89' is still my favorite but it's close & Catwoman in this is one of the all time best female superheroes.

[@ashsaber1813]

I actually miss having both the trailer and commentary on the same day. The trailer is so short I like going straight into the commentary while the trailer is fresh in my mind. Guess I’ll just wait to watch both on Wednesday 😞
