Today’s Good Movie Podcast marks our third visit to Gotham City, this time for 1993’s Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. Made between the first and second seasons of Batman: The Animated Series, the movie sees Bruce Wayne’s old flame Andrea Beaumont suddenly returning after 10 years. At the same time, a mysterious vigilante known as “The Phantasm” starts eliminating Gotham City’s biggest mobsters. As the Phantasm strikes from the shadows, Batman’s heroic public image takes a hit. Bruce himself even wonders if he should abandon the cowl and pursue a normal, happy life with Andrea. It soon becomes apparent that Bruce is not the only one to have been transformed by grief. Batman must face his own dark reflection in an explosive final battle with the Phantasm…and a certain other villain with a penchant for jokes. Be sure to grab plenty of bologna and cloak yourself in an odd mist for today’s dark and knightly installment of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

Rev your engines and be prepared to toot your sweets, Anime Was (Not) A Mistakes' 2024 Holiday Special continues this madcap race with the seminal fleet-footed fender lined film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968). When the inventor Caracticus Potts, is commissioned to save a beat-up car from the scrap heap, a magical musical adventure is set into motion. We have a film full of bops, barons, and a little bit of the ol' bamboo. Beware the child catcher even with his delicious false promises of Heinz Treacle. Buckle up listeners. Will this one be truly scrumptious or more of a sh*tty-sh*tty boom boom? Trust us, it was funny in the moment.

Ghost and Ghoulies everywhere come to Anime Was (Not) A Mistake for a Yuletide scare?!? That's right, this year's first half of our Holiday Special is devoted to the stop-motion animation classic The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993). Join your normal hosts Daniel and Jonathan as they tromp through the pumpkin patch...but what's this? Three crafty trick or treaters have stumbled upon the podcast as well! Gabe, Heather, and Grant are deadest upon kidnapping the Sandy Claws. Listen as this group of spooky spectators offer commentary on our favorite holidays, our united hatred of strange fog's breath smelling doctors, and our admiration for what might just be one of the greatest animated movies of all time. No matter the season, nor holiday, all one needs is the spirit of friendship and maybe some candy to fend off an evil bag of bugs.

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, continues once more on Anime Was (Not) A Mistake with the departing of one character and the introduction of man, many more. Stark is given a reprieve as Frieren and Fern are tasked with proving their magical might in a series of tasks. When split into groups, surrounded by talented, unique mages, and challenged in catching a crafty bird, where will the chips fall for our magical girls. Remember this lesson above all else magic relies on the limits of imagination, if you can perceive it, it can be done. I really hope Dan is enjoying that jumbo-berry sundae...

Our journey through realms inspired by tabletop RPGs continues with another Delicious in Dungeon and Record of Lodoss War combo episode. In the Mad Mage’s Dungeon, Laios and his party must traverse the watery Fourth Level while learning a few (harsh) lessons from the dungeon’s ecosystem. Then, a surprise encounter with an Undine leaves Marcille drained of her mana. With the help of an old teammate, the party will have to craft an energizing brew if they want their mage to continue. On the island of Lodoss, the arrival of King Kashue in Valis gives Parn the inspiration he needs to become a great knight. While the party gets to enjoy a few fleeting moments of peace, Karla the Grey Witch continues to scheme in the shadows. Emperor Beld begins his destructive advance into Valis, with King Fahn standing ready to face his old nemesis in battle. Make sure to pack plenty of Kelpie liver and a set of loaded dice for today’s iron-rich installment of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

Our journey continues once more with Frieren: Beyond Journey's End on Anime Was (Not) A Mistake. On this casual batch of four episodes we may get a new priestly party member that's on a voyage of his own for his "Gorilla Warrior." With some liturgical magic, perhaps the party will take down a Refelga infused plant monster, participate in a ball, and help out a stubborn old woman in polishing her statues. It may seem like a subtle bunch of morals lie in store. Ten Years aren't as long as they seem. You can try to replace family. Those with an itchy butt wake up with smelly hands... this and much, much more on tonight's episode.

Its getting a bit chilly on this week's Anime Was (Not) A Mistake with a frosty double feature. With a return to form with some anime, first we have Cooler's Revenge (1991). Goku, Gohan, and the gang are just getting some well-deserved rest when Earth is threated once again by Frieza's evil brother Cooler. Hope that you have packed some extra senzu beans because if our intrepid Z Heros survive we all have to go a second round with The Return of Cooler (1992). With Cooler seemingly revitalized and done up in chrome New Namek has to face an onslaught of robot tyrants and copies of Cooler. Come see some character design that really fills Daniel's ice tray and some rocking music that takes us back to the picturesque 90s. You better have your Dragon Balls at the ready.
