# Batman & Robin (w/ Matt Gourley)

2/6/2024

Lauren and Nicole’s trip through the Batman universe takes an interesting turn with very special guest Matt Gourley (_Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, Superego, I Was There Too, With Gourley and Rust, Bonanas For Bonanza_) covering 1997’s _Batman & Robin_ with George Clooney._ Is this really one of the “worst movies ever made”... or actually one of the all-time greats? Is the hyper-focus on Batman’s nipples an expression of artistic vision or does it miss the point? Are we sure Batman and Robin are not a couple? All of these important questions (and more!) will be answered.

Next week's movie: _Batman Begins_ (2005).
