  Batman (1989) | Episode 130-This Podcast Takes Tokens (Vigilantes & VHS Summer 10 of 10)

  Aug 18, 20261h 14m

  We’re officially wrapping up our 10-episode Vigilantes & VHS Summer series, and we’re going out with the heavy hitter that changed the superhero game—Batman (1989). We’re diving into the chaotic, gothic architecture of Tim Burton’s Gotham to argue whether Michael Keaton’s stiff-necked Batsuit is actually cool or just a massive nightmare (literally!), and we’re split on whether Jack Nicholson’s Joker is a legitimate menace or just a manic art major. We question Michael Gough’s overly fatherly Alfred and him making some highly questionable security decisions regarding the Batcave. We can’t skip over the dirty trick one studio pulled on Robin Williams to get Nicholson cast, and Prince’s legendary soundtrack. Did this movie age perfectly, or does it crack under the weight of modern Batman expectations? Let us know your thoughts. Love quoting old movies?

  Episode #129

  Spider-Man 2 | Episode 129-This Podcast Takes Tokens(Vigilantes & VHS Summer 9 of 10)

  Aug 11, 20261h 18m

  We're swinging back into the Raimi-verse to tackle what might just be the pinnacle of superhero cinema—or at least the one with the most aggressive amount of unprovoked screaming. Spider-Man 2 is on the docket for our Vigilantes and VHS summer series, and we are breaking down everything from Doc Ock's surprisingly sentient (and meticulously named) robot arms to Peter Parker's unnecessary dedication to channeling his inner Clark Kent dork mask even when he's already hiding behind an actual mask. We marvel at the incredible practical effects, throw shade on the wooden CGI, question the physics of swinging from mid-air cranes, and call out Aunt May for casually swindling neighborhood kids. It's a miracle Harry Osborn has time to run a multinational corporation in between his cartoonish temper tantrums, but we still love every chaotic minute of this 2004 masterpiece. Grab a 30-minute-or-less pizza—just don't steal it from the delivery guy—and let's get into it. Love quoting old movies? Join the conversation LIVE every Thursday on YouTube!

  Episode #128

  X-Men(2000) | Episode 128-This Podcast Takes Tokens(Vigilantes & VHS Summer 8 of 10)

  Aug 4, 20261h 9m

  We pulled on our black leather 2000s gear to head back to a simpler time: July 2000, when we finally got a live-action Wolverine, and some other X-Men. The original X-Men movie built an entire cinematic universe off a $75 million budget, and honestly, we’re still riding the high of that first theater viewing. We break down everything from Hugh Jackman absolutely carrying the franchise on his adamantium frame, to the flawless casting of Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen. We’re getting into the questionable choices—like whatever was going on with Sabretooth and Toad—and why Halle Berry's accent completely evaporated halfway through production. Plus, we discuss some of the most unhinged alternate casting possibilities. Let's just say Michael Jackson lobbied hard to be in this.

  Episode #127

  Superman The Movie (1978) | Episode 127-This Podcast Takes Tokens(Vigilantes & VHS Summer 7 of 10)

  Jul 28, 20261h 10m

  We revisited the granddaddy of modern superhero flicks, the 1978 Superman The Movie. Turns out, nostalgia might be doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Don't get us wrong, the practical effects hold up surprisingly well for the era, and Christopher Reeve is absolutely iconic with his masterclass in playing Clark Kent and the Man of Steel as two entirely different people. But did we really need four minutes of opening text flying at the screen, followed by a 48-minute origin story before he even puts on the suit? We're breaking down the absolute campiness of Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor and his bizarrely low-stakes plan to blow up the California coast just to score some premium real estate. We also dive into the behind-the-scenes chaos, like Marlon Brando getting paid $3.7 million while he refused to memorize lines and read them off a baby's diaper instead. Throw in a discussion on Superman's highly questionable method of turning back time to save Lois Lane while ignoring the rest of the destruction, and you've got an episode that looks at a beloved classic through some slightly older, more cynical eyes Love quoting old movies?

  Episode #126

  The Punisher (2004) | Episode 126-This Podcast Takes Tokens (Vigilantes & VHS Summer 6 of 10)

  Jul 21, 202653 min

  We loaded up the 2004 release of The Punisher, starring Thomas Jane and John Travolta, to see if it hits the target today. Turns out, the rewatch was as grizzled as the Punisher himself. While the practical effects hold up surprisingly well and the soundtrack is a great early-2000s time capsule of Seether and Drowning Pool, the movie itself struggles with a massive identity crisis and a cliché score. We dive into the glaring plot holes—like Frank completely missing a bullet scar after getting shot point-blank in the chest—and discuss how his family's terrible hiding strategy sealed their fate. From the heavy-handed cheese and campy comic-book-style apartment neighbors to John Travolta chewing the scenery like he's still in Face/Off, we break down everything that felt off. But it's not all bad; we still have a lot of love for Kevin Nash as the Russian, the genius popsicle torture scene, and Harry Heck's Johnny Cash styled, crooning killer. Love quoting old movies?
