"That's it. That's what I want to see, a nice big smile."

Today we discuss, with Russell's brother and fellow Dark Knight enthusiast, Lewis, Mask of the Phantasm. The early 90s film may not have lit the box office alight but it is one of the finest iteration of the hero and, in Mark Hamill's wonderful performance, his main villain.

The most recent iteration of the Caped Crusader has been perhaps the most controversial take to date, with plenty of behind the scenes drama. And Not Just For Kids have a lot to discuss about what works and what doesn't work with Zack Snyder's two films featuring Batman.

Can’t Stand the Heat: Weather and Climate Change in Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing by Ashleigh Albrechtsen, December 25, 2022, https://brightlightsfilm.com/cant-stand-the-heat-weather-and-climate-change-in-spike-lees-do-the-right-thing/

"As a species we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up reasons to kill one another. Why do you think we invented politics and religion?"

Welcome to There Can Only Be One - the Movie Madness. One theme, two guests, twelve films. At the end of it all we will have narrowed our picks down to the best film in that category. And this month we're battling out day ruiners, a dozen feel bad films.

Host Russell is joined by Tim from Moving Picture Film Club (https://movingpicturesfilmclub.com/) and Ygraine from What a Scream Podcast (https://www.whatascreampodcast.com/) for this month's chat.
