Michael Keaton's stint as Batman, as good as we remembered?
Tim Burton’s Batman was a cultural juggernaut in 1989, riding a wave of hype and an iconic performance from Jack Nicholson to box office success. The unlikely casting of Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne/Batman worked and this ‘darker’ version of Batman can be seen as the forebearer of so many of the comic book adaptations that now rule the box office. With Batman Returns, Burton drove his vision for the dark knight further, tripling the villains to include Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman, Danny Devito’s penguin and the new villain, Christopher Walken’s Max Shreck
In this episode:
-How dark is this dark version of Batman?
-Batman 89 vs Batman 66
-The ghost of David Bowie
-Jack Nicholson laughing all the way to the bank
-The Joker knows a graphic designer
-A great Michelle Pfeiffer performance as Selena Kyle/ Catwoman.
-Danny Devito’s relatable performance as Penguin
-The Ghost of David Bowie pops by again
-And let me be clear, two uncannily pitch perfect Christopher Walken impersonations

Allen and Chris strap on the studded gloves…..
1975’s Rollerball, directed by Norman Jewison and starring James Caan as the fictional sport’s superstar player Jonathan E, delivered not only action but a thoughtful examination of individuality and freedom.
Cut to 2002 and John McTiernan, director of Die Hard and Predator, two of the greatest action flicks ever, helms the remake. Surely this will, at the very least, deliver on visceral thrills….right?
In this episode
-the dumbest criticism of old movies
-James Caan: a manly man
-LL Cool J and American Pie: the college years
-The shadowy Rebecca Romijn–Stamos
-Jean Reno: the man behind the man, or something
-Nielson? BARB? Meet the new rating system that blows them out the water.

COMING SOON ON DIMINISHING RETURNS: Episode 50. Alien and Aliens.
DIMINISHING RETURNS: A comedy podcast about movie sequels, prequels, spin-offs and reboots. Hosted by Allen and Chris. WARNING: Contains Scottish accents and spoilers.
With the release of a new Tomb Raider film, Allen and Chris look back at Angelina Jolie’s pair….of films.
This month sees the release of a Tomb Raider reboot with Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft so it’s a perfect time to look back at the Angelina Jolie starring duo of films, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Tomb Raider: Cradle Of Life. It would, of course, be all too easy for this episode to devolve into a bunch of jokes about boobs. So we totally do that.
In this episode:
Will we ever get a good computer game adaptation?
What Americans think of England
Good bad guy casting
Hey, it’s Daniel Craig!
Hey, it’s Gerard Butler!
The poor planning of shadowy criminal conspirators and their nemeses.
And the physics of planetary alignment
Remind yourself of the films here:

and

COMING SOON ON DIMINISHING RETURNS: Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of Life
DIMINISHING RETURNS: A comedy podcast about movie sequels, prequels, spin-offs and reboots. Hosted by Allen and Chris. WARNING: Contains Scottish accents and spoilers.
Two middle-aged dudes talk 50 Shades and it’s sequel.
Allen and Chris get sexy in this post Valentine's special by watching the smash-hit film adaptations of EL James’ 2 err...smash-hit books. It started off as Twilight fan fiction before being reshaped into the non-supernatural tale of a virgin and a kinky billionaire. As the third film, Fifty Shades Freed, is released- the Fifty Shades series is undoubtedly a cultural juggernaut, but are they good films?
No, obviously. But we watched the first two instalments anyway.
In this episode:
Flu remedies
Anastasia’s educational prowess
Christian Grey is good at two things
Kim Basinger’s previous work in the field
Research!
Lots of giggling about sex stuff
And what Sci-Fi series really gets Christian off…..
Remind yourself of the films here
