141 - And On That Unfortunate Note - Week of 12/19/18

The Fellowship is pleased to present our celebration of the 25th anniversary of Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. It was a strong kick-off for Warner's DC animation, and they've been going strong ever since. We get into this one pretty deep, and we talk about some upcoming animated features too. Plus our usual oddness, as well as our picks of the week.
What we're up to this week:
Busy week, but I started Criminal Macabre Omnibus 1
Walking around like "a penguin with ghetto booty" - so a Big Bag o' Nothing [Liz threw out her back last week 😞 -m]
A December to Dismember movie event (Christmas-themed horror movies & shorts); new Christopher Mihm movie Guns of the Apocalypse is out now [Avengers 4 trailer/NASA tangent]
Streaming movies on Twitch - Birdemic, MST3K 10 Year Anniversary show, several others; also an Avengers Epic Collection [callback to our Kree-Skrull War episode]
Announcements at the end of the show, so keep listening 🙂

There are those who argue that this film is the best Batman movie ever made. It's certainly hard to argue against that point 🙂
