Hello there, PB and J. I’m excited for your thoughts on Chemistry (or I Hate F**king Celery!) I’m honestly shocked they didn’t just cast Dana Delany as yet another Bruce Wayne love interest, but I guess Belle from the Beauty and the Beast live action TV show will do. Speaking of Delany, where do you think Andrea was when she got the news that famous playboy Bruce Wayne was finally tying the knot, and it was too some random woman named Susan. (*winks at Jamie* foreshadowing) Anyway it’s a decent episode, that I’m sure Bri-bri didn’t care for. And from last week, yes I do like tomatoes. I like talking to Tomatoes (if a squash can make me smile). Anyway I’m gonna go waltz down the produce isle with a potato and an early nineties CGI tuba. Till next week stay yoppie, and party on dudes!
CHEMISTRY or “Batman Interrupts An Episode of Pawn Stars” or “Why Do All These Super-Mid Episodes Always End Abruptly?” [suddenly wakes up] Ohh no, I’m still in the stasis pod. I can’t believe this. My life’s been taken over by a Banana variant of me. How would my family and friends not even notice that? It’s so terrifying. There’s so much that I’m missing out on. Movies, friends’ birthdays, dance parties, the chance to stare lovingly into Brian’s eyes, I could go on. I must keep my mind in focus. But on what exactly? Oh, right, the TNBA episode Chemistry. Well, it’s a whole lot of nothing if I’m being honest here. You’d think a story about Bruce Wayne finding love unexpectedly would be a major thing (with Sarah Conner herself, no less), and yet, it’s so underwhelming. Sure, we get to hear a smidge of music from Mask of the Phantasm which is nice, but that’s really all there is that’s worth writing home about. Also, when that one plant guy gets melted down by Robin, his scream was surprisingly heartbreaking. I shouldn’t be feeling sorry for a plant man who abuses his human wife, what’s going on here? Overall, this episode was a bit of a dud, to be honest. It’s not ‘Torch Song’ or ‘Love Is A Croc’ levels of bad, but it wasn’t good either. Definitely a waste of Linda Hamilton though. Boss Biggust bear hugs to the number one podcast hosts in this here multiverse of ours: Joel Robinson and Buck Teeth. Praise to our lord and savior Dylan Pollack (keep up the great work on your own podcast and remember to tell Gab that she rules)! Likewise of course to all of his loyal disciples: Skarloey1, Batgirl Fangirl, Scotty Cameron, WENCY209, TipTapricot, Keen Machine, Jordan Newman, Zane Beatty, Kris Knife, LaNolaCola, Juan Pedro, Ashley Tuchin, Scrudge, the Banana family, Hex Lex, Eric LeBeau, the Banana Man-Bat, Austin Trousers, Slacks Payne, Ryan Hipp, Peter Pantaloons, Nick Sorenson, Kyle the Kyle, and of course ALL the awesome-sauce listeners of this yoppie community of ours. You all are the absolute best, don’t you ever forget that. Wait, there he is, there’s Banana me. Let me out, please! I don’t understand, what is this even about? “Heh heh heh, wouldn’t you like to know…” Please, I have to get out of here! “OVER MY DEAD, PEELED BODY.” ‘Til next week, BANANA SMOKE BOMB 🍌 💣 💨💨💨 that’ll be blown out by a BANANA OL’ WHOOSH! (that’s cuz i just flew away bb 💋)
I’m a tomato hater personally. I don’t mind a thin slice of tomato on a burger, but if it’s a bit too thick I will just take it out. Do you ever have that thing where like you'll get a burrito, or shawarma, or some other wrap, but they fold it over and all the meat and vegetables are like split in half lengthwise down the wrap? And like every bite just alternates between all meat or all veggies? Anyway, yeah I hate when that happens, and I will start pulling tomatoes in that event. I used to hear this thing as a kid, that you’re apparently supposed to use a tomato to learn how to kiss, like you bite into it, and then practice sucking the innards basically, and idk that just sounded like the most horrible experience to me
Telling Brian the villain of Chemistry would spoil the whole episode but that doesn’t stop the Streaming Service Formerly Known as HBOMax from spoiling it in both the episode description and the thumbnail. Anyways, super weird how plant people don’t have rights in Batman’s world! Cause they kinda act like sentient beings with free will and all, ya know? Could it be they had souls? Souls of chlorophyll, but soul-oh no the 10 year old boy just melted them into puddles of goo as they screamed in agony. Best not to think about it. “Best not to think about it,” sums the episode up pretty well. What a bad idea badly executed.
I just tewatched this episode for the first time since college, and I still love it. Maybe more so since coming out as trabs (mtf). I had no idea who Hillary J. Bader was until I looked up her writing credits, and was AMAZED. Some great episodes of Batman Beyond, some hard-hitting Mr. Freeze episodes. "Warrior Queen". This is one of six episodes she wrote for "the New Batman Adventures" including "Animal Act" and "Ultimate Thrill". So yes, hervwtiting can be an acquired taste. Her brand of feminism is about empowerment and not always making the villain a powerful migynonist for the sake of storytelling contrast. I really wish she was alive today, when so many writers in animation are more recognized. "Girls' Night Out" reminds me of Gail Simone's writing for the pre-52 "Birds of Prey". Powerful women getting it done, sexy if they want to be, but because of the feminist women writing the stories. This us all mixed with a helping of "slice of life" scenes. It must have been in Gail's "Of Like Minds" where Black Canary II (Dinah Laurel Lance) warms up by sitting on Oracle's computer equipment while eating a fast food burger. (yes, I'm holding back on some puns).
I wish there was more to be known about Hillary Bader. Looking at her IMDB page is like doing a deep dive into music by Eva Cassidy or Kate Wolf. Hillary wrote for 30/31 episodes of "Gotham Girls", and episodes for Jackie Chan Adventures, Jack of All Trades (a colonial era dreamed where Verne Troyer played Napoleon), 4 episodes for Xena, Young Hercules (where a Ryan Gosling just off Breaker High was playing a teenage version of Kevin Sorbo's character) Cleopatra 2525 (where Xena icons Victoria Pratt and Gina Torres costar in a Matrixy future). She had some eye-catching titles like "Locked Up and Tied Down" (a season 4 episode where Xena's unfairly sentenced to a women's prison island, and "the Amazing T-Girl" ( where Jackie Chan's niece has the powers of the 12 zodiac talismans). If it wasn't for her breast cancer, I think that she would have been a huge name for Justice League and other shows. I feel like I can feel writing influence in episodes with the Question.
Always love that you never know how these episodes will open. Tomatoes!! 😭 ((I think they're neat & quite yummy indeed but best enjoyed *in* things. sandwiches or salads or. whatever. Or with lemon & salt! Also some of them are red, which is the best color ever, so automatically thats like 5 more points at Least 🍅✨))
"Chemistry", or "if i had a nickel for everytime bruce proposes to a girl the day after he met her I'd have three nickels which is three too many". Or, alternatively, "the bat family dumps at least 12 liters of herbicide in the ocean". Still better than the supposed protector of nature whose plan is to leave a literal boatload of scrap in there.
Well Jonny Bravo and Billy d Williams, to answer your tomato question: I only eat tomatoes if it's on something else. Like for example: if it's on a hamburger or chicken sandwich or a regular old sandwich. The only other thing I eat that has tomatoes on that I can think of at top of my head is Chicken Masala. If you never had it before, it's very good, like God that food is fucking bussin! (At least in my opinion anyways) Anyways, what was this about again? The genderbent version of World's Finest? Eh, whatever; The other listeners probably already talked about it better than I ever could. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyways, stay yoppie! ❤
This one made Harley look like more of an idiot than usual in my opinion but I did enjoy it. I bet Batman already knew about Supergirl before even calling
For real, Batgirl piggy back riding Supergirl is too funny. Did they think the Christopher Reeve hand holding for flight would be too, you know 😏 Also, the newest Batman Arkham game, Arkham Shadow, has a Soder reference in it.
You guys disliked most of the TNA episodes, lol. I think this was a fun episode, but now I can't stop thinking how all they do is just rob a mall. Also my favourite animation error from this episode happens right at the end. Harvey Bullock and the reporter appear outside of the TV.

Tomatoes suck, ketchup rules!
Marinara sauce especially sucks
ngl if this episode taught me anything, it’s to diversify your character models more, cuz’ a lot of the girls featured have way too similar a face
That’s what I’ve been saying for years!
Girls Night Out or
Too Many Chicks On The Dance Floor
