This week, the hosts revisit Judge Dredd (1995) for its 30th anniversary! With Sylvester Stallone behind the visor, this cult classic aimed to bring the 2000 AD icon to life—complete with oversized armor, dystopian chaos, and questionable comedy relief. But beyond the explosions and one-liners, the crew dives into the film’s deeper themes: authoritarianism, identity, and the cost of absolute justice. Was Judge Dredd ahead of its time, or just a stylish misfire with a killer helmet? Three decades later, we put the law on trial.

In this episode, the hosts revisit the neon-soaked, over-the-top world of Batman Forever in honor of its 30th anniversary! From Val Kilmer’s stoic take on the Dark Knight to Jim Carrey’s unhinged Riddler and Tommy Lee Jones’ chaotic Two-Face, we explore what worked, what didn’t, and why this Joel Schumacher-directed spectacle remains one of the most divisive Batman films ever made. Was it a misunderstood gem or the beginning of the Bat-franchise’s descent into camp? Tune in as we dissect the film’s legacy, behind-the-scenes drama, and the tantalizing myth of the Schumacher Cut. Holy anniversary, Batman!
