I think this episode exemplified for me what I love about the concept of How Did This Get Made; Jesse Falcon offered some real juicy industry insight as someone who has been involved with projects similar to the topic of discussion, and Matt Mira, as a fan, brought some clarity to the intention of Batman & Robin's muddled plotline. For me, HDTGM is at its worst when there are two or more people talking over one another, each adding little perspective versus opinion, and invariably, the wailing refrain "I don't understand this mooooooovie! / What is going onnnn?!" comes out, and that's when you know that the comedy is stuck in neutral and somebody's just padding. The plotline and character motivation in Batman & Robin are not the hard bits to figure out; the hows and whys of how it got there stylistically and come off so badly are the real reasons I'm a fan of HDTGM, and this episode is one I'll be pointing my friends to as an entry point for the show. Thanks, guys!
