Throwback Thursday takes us back to the 1966 Batman TV-series starring Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin. The Penguin‘s (Burgess Meredith) men kidnap Alfred (Alan Napier) to brainwash the butler in cluing them into the time and location of a multi-millionaires dinner. After releasing the brainwashed butler back into the wild, Penguin leaves a clue to lure Batman and a Robin into one of the series’ weirder traps on the Gotham Pier involving pop-up umbrellas and exploding balloons. The episode also works in the woman (Julie Gregg) of Penguin’s crew as part of the larger plot to take the place of a beauty pageant winner and offer the distraction to rob the millionaires.

Daredevil #1

Matt Murdock is dead to the world as Daredevil (who no one remembers is Matt Murdock) and Elektra prepare to leave New York and take their fight to the Hand. Before leaving the city, however, Daredevil spends one final night fighting crime with Spider-Man and tying up various loose ends. There’s not as much Daredevil/Spidey interaction as I would have liked here (especially between two men who have made deals with devils to hide their secret identities), but the pairing still works.

Only Murders in the Building – The Last Day of Bunny Folger

  • Title: Only Murders in the Building – The Last Day of Bunny Folger
  • IMDb: link

In a somewhat odd episode that is neither fully from the perspective of our podcasters, nor that of murder victim Bunny (Jayne Houdyshell), the appropriately titled “The Last Day of Bunny Folger” examines events from the day of Bunny’s death including her refusing to give up her prestigious board position to Nina Lin (Christine Ko) and her failed attempt to make peace with Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez). Despite the shifting perspective of the episode not quite working, and the parrot tease turning out to go nowhere interesting, the episode does provide a new lead suspect for our podcasters while also pointing out the sad truth that had they been a bit more neighborly Bunny would still be alive.
