DRUNK CINEMA 089: "Batman (1966)" Is Up!

 
"Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb."
-- Batman, Batman (1966)

Hello again, movie fans!  My wonderful co-host Xan Sprouse and I are back with a new episode of Drunk Cinema! This time, Xan and I watch Batman, the 1966 superhero film directed by Leslie H. Martinson, featuring Adam West as Batman/Bruce Wayne, Burt Ward as Robin/Dick Grayson, Lee Meriwether as Catwoman, and Cesar Romero as The Joker!

This time, Xan and I discuss things like Xan recovering from Thanksgiving and Record Store Day, why Xan picked this movie, the Space Ghost Coast to Coast episode "Batmantis" featuring Lee Meriwether, Julie Newmar vs. Eartha Kitt as Catwoman, Batman fans having to wait the better part of three decades to undo the damage Batman (1966) and the campy TV series did to the character, camp being very prevalent in the 1960s, Batman (1966) originally being planned as the TV series pilot, kids knowing Adam West only from Family Guy, Xan's encounter with Adam West, Burgess Meredith reprising The Penguin on an episode of The Monkees, Xan's take on The Twilight Zone Season 4, The Venture Bros.' nod to "A Town Called Malice", my getting into Batman because of the TV series, Bat-Shark Repellant, Cesar Romero's mustache not being as noticeable before HD televisions, wondering why the Penguin has an exploding octopus, Burgess Meredith ad-libbing the "Careful, every one of them has a mother" line, a bad case of Bat-Gas, Catwoman being a Cougar, Batman just happening to have a Super-Molecular Dust Separator, my being Bat-trayed, new Drunk Mail from Christine Peruski, our official Drunk Cinema merch, Kolchak the Night Stalker, Xan breaking her Leg Lamp, and more!
