We conclude our review of Tim Burton’s “Batman Returns”, including (mostly) everything from the lighting of Gotham’s Christmas tree to the final march of the Penguin.

Cat got your tongue-in-cheek humor? We’ll keep milking our Batman puns right to the very end. We’ll even throw in a horrible Christopher Walken impression and a Rocket Man parody, just to keep it lively.

Want more shock value in the future? Part 1 of Episode 3 releases in just one week, 11/20! Yes, we’re going weekly all the way through the holidays, come snow or creepy circus.

From those of us at Shocked & Applaud, thank you for patroning the peculiar!

In episode two part two, we get cat scratch fever for our review of the second act of Tim Burton’s “Batman Returns”.

Snoot biting mayoral candidates? We nose them. Salvation by kitty litter? We has it. Keaton brooding over News coverage? It wouldn’t be Batman without bad bro brooding!

Come along with us from the introduction of the Penguin to the public, to the Gotham Christmas tree lighting, by means of a falling Ice Queen’s cold, dead body. Super sick!

Want more? Wheh, wheh, wheh! Sorry, bad penguin impressions … We’ll be back November 13 with part 3!

It’s Editing Day! Yay!

Part 2 Production and Engagement

Applauders,

Thanks for helping to get the Bat Signal on last week while waiting for Part 2 of our review of Tim Burton’s “Batman Returns”!

Jonathan will be throwing himself into the editing pit this afternoon (OK, we pushed him), to produce Part 2, in preparation for this Tuesday’s release.

We are in full-on squee mode, and can’t wait for you to hear our dive into the Penguin’s journey of self discovery, the coupling of two costumed night creatures, and more than a few rants about the patriarchy.

Just listening and haven’t subscribed?  Go to podcast.shockedandapplaud.com on your mobile device to pull it up in your preferred Podcasting app!  Then click that subscribe button, because we’ll have Part 3 out before you realize it’s been another two weeks.

Thanks for being awesome,

The Shocked & Applaud Team

Blessed to be a Mess

Episode Three Session 2

You might think we have some fancy sound booth, but this nerd den in Naomi’s home in Tacoma is just about all we need to record, before Jonathan makes those dank cuts.

These photos are from Episode 3, which still had plenty of laughter in what is definitely our darkest movie review yet.

Want to know more about how we produce? We’ll have additional content about our wily methods, available on shockedandapplaud.com! And if you haven’t marked your calendars: we’re only one week away from Part 2 of Tim Burton’s “Batman Returns”.

Getting to Know our Applauders

Updated 10:00 AM Pacific, October 20, 2018

We’re closing in on a $15 24-hour ad, which was a “first one is free” promo from Facebook. Trying to get our gambler/marketer addiction going? Nice try, Mark!

You can see in our screenshot that we had a little less than %1 engagement. That’s actually not too shabby for a brand with 0% public recognition. More importantly, we’re seeing real listeners come through iTunes.

We also discovered our three largest demographics, with men displaying roughly 2x more interest. What’s up with that, girl?

Lastly, we limited ourselves to a WA state audience for better context — our Web server is in OR, so visitors would get a better experience than downloading from say, the east coast.

These types of details and updates will be available to Patreon members soon!

In Episode 2 Part 1, we take a deep dive into the darkness with our film review of Tim Burton’s “Batman Returns”.

In almost a self-sacrificing length of time, we’ll batarang you through every emo-glittered tapestry, up to Selena’s Bad Fur Day.  Trust us, she doesn’t handle it well.

Want more?  Purrrfect.  We’ll be back October 30th with Part 2!

Hey girl, get caught up! If you haven’t yet heard Episode 1, then here’s our film review and hunt down of factoids. Join us for dinner and dress-up as we tear into the first act of Kevin Smith’s “Tusk”!

We invite you to waltz into the life of Wallace, a shock-podder with straight up character fatigue, as he struts his statehood up north to investigate the whereabouts of the mysterious one-legged “Kill Bill Kid”.

Will Wallace find his own voice or lose it in your iTunes Shuffle? Play on, ad-free, on us!  Then, head over to Patreon to help us make up the difference.

Remember to subscribe for future episodes, because we’re venturing ever further into the twisted minds of mass media, and who knows where we’ll go next?

Thank you for patroning the peculiar!
