49- Three VERY Different Types of Monsters

This week is special for a few reasons. Firstly, Tim is out once again (the man is perpetually busy). Secondly, we have a blast from the past joining our episode for a new potentially recurring segment…

 

But before that, we discuss three VERY different types of monsters in film, and the #52PickUp of Batman: The Movie!
