Ep. 287 - BTAS - Showdown w/ Kevin Altieri
The Good Brothers are preparing for Thanksgiving but it's feeling more like Christmas as they present a surprise Special Guest Correspondent to discuss the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Showdown." Once again joining our hosts is Writer, Director and Storyboard artist for the episode, Kevin Altieri. Kevin discusses in longform just how this episode pitch started, how the network reacted to an episode that featured almost no Batman, sequences cut for time and ones he demanded stay in the episode, literary characters that inspired the main antagonist, how the 60's Wild, Wild West TV show influenced the steampunk aesthetic and much more behind the scenes goodies. The hosts then give their usual breakdown of the episode comparing Jonah Hex's look to a former Minnesota governor, the music's western theme and an announcement about the next few episodes of the podcast. All of this and much more await you on one of the biggest epsiodes ever of the DCAU Review!
