Holy shitty movies, Batman! Unwatchables' 3-part series concludes with two of Marc's childhood favorites. We decide whether 1997's camp-fest BATMAN AND ROBIN lives down to its reputation, and if 1995's less infamous BATMAN FOREVER is actually any better. open.spotify.com/episode/28v…

Today film critic @rilaws helps us take on the unwatchable franchise that followed from one of our most watchable classics. Spielberg's JAWS is one of the most influential and enduring Hollywood blockbusters ever made, and its three sequels are...  not. open.spotify.com/episode/31l…

Big thanks to @nightlightakron for hosting the second live Unwatchables recording! We had a lively back-and-forth with the audience of a sold-out screening of HOWARD THE DUCK, the notorious 1986 flop that's since gained a cult following. open.spotify.com/episode/6qg…
