Two Year Anniversary Special: Batman & Robin (1997) with Clayton & Shawn from 'Men Who Like Men Who Like Movies'

Review It Yourself

"I know we're doing Batman and Robin, but I don't need to see nips".

Review It Yourself's Two Year Anniversary arrives in the form of the perfect (Sean's word) Batman & Robin (1997), a "film so thirsty that it hurts".

Who else do you call when your podcast garden needs tending but Clayton and Shawn from 'Men Who Like Men Who Like Movies'

-Sean brings his special mug to drink Biscuit Tea "Taste Like Jaffa".

-The backside acting in this film.

-Alfred's pizza-making skills.

-The PUNS.

-Clayton doesn't care the Alfred is ill.

-The Pennyworth finally drops for Sean as to why Alfred is trying to contact his brother Wilfred.

-The confusing age of Robin in this series.
