AIPT Movies Podcast episode 73: Holidanger: ‘Batman Returns’ & John Woo’s ‘Silent Night’

It’s December, so that means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “Holidanger” series! Where we cover the best kind of holiday movie: the ones where lives are on the line! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss Tim Burton’s surprisingly dark and adult Christmas-themed sequel, Batman Returns!

Incredible production design that brings the snowy and fantastical Gotham City to life! One of Danny Elfman’s greatest scores! (Mostly) relatable villains the audience and even Batman can sympathize with! Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, Christopher Walken, and a movie-stealing performance from Michelle Pfeiffer! Finally, a superhero movie with multiple scenes that take place on rooftops! A relic from a time when superhero movies had to appeal to wide audiences without relying on fan service! A misunderstood sequel with horror elements, adult themes, and a mini rom-com hidden within that’s finally getting the appreciation it deserves!

In addition, Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on The Holdovers and Godzilla Minus One, while both Alex and Tim talk about John Woo’s return to American action cinema with Silent Night!
