Escape Hatch (formerly Dune Pod)

'Poooooooooddss out... for... SUMMER!!!' - Extremely Alice Cooper voice. We try and hang in for one final episode before taking a week off to celebrate the start of summer. With our high priest of cinema Stephen Spielberg returning to the holy theater of Summer Blockbusters this weekend for Disclosure Day, we figured what the heck, let’s finally cover one we’ve talked about for years, Minority Report. Boy is this a movie. We’re joined by the host of the podcast Channels, Peter Kafka and make a mad dash out as the bell rings.

We swore we would never cover this movie. I mean just Haitch, really. Jason never cared either way - until our discord waged a multi-year campaign to break Haitch down. Now, we’re joined by literal rabble rouser, comic writer, and co-host of the X-Ray Vision podcast, the incomparable Rosie Knight, to finally cover Joel Schumacher's infamous 1997 superhero disaster, Batman and Robin. We also tackle Euphoria S3, sex workers rights, the comics that informed us, and whether camp can be good? You decide.
