    This one is really long so you guys dont have to read it. Its for the algorithm.
    That being said, I can't believe nobody said, "I'm not even supposed to be here today." You had a guest even. Jake called Casey and Garrett Dante and Randal.
    I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.
    For real tho, I think I agree with Casey's observation about Kevin saying he didn't think he could write a good Batman. With Batman, at least in the eyes of his fans, he's only allowed so many flaws before people start to get upset. Then you look at Tusk, which is a Kevin Smith movie about a guy who gets turned into a Walrus. *spoilers for Tusk* The main character is a total jerk who gets upset that he's not going to have content cuz the guy he was going interview committed suicide. Meanwhile his girlfriend is cheating on him while he's away with his best friend and podcast co host cuz she gets depressed when he leaves cuz she knows he's cheating on him but she won't leave him cuz she loves him so much.
    None of that is necessary. It's a movie about a guy who gets turned into a Walrus. But it adds depth and makes you see these characters as people.
    I know I don't have to tell you guys but you can't do that with Batman and not have someone not very loudly not like it. So when Batman cheats on his fiance or pees his pants or changes his personality cuz his mind was fogged enough by sex that he's considering giving up the game or freaking out cuz he met someone who he trusted someone enough to quit and then having to make sure she's who she says she is cuz how could he meet someone he likes that much, it makes sense Kev would write that and also people wouldn't like it.
    And just so anyone who's into this knows, somewhere on the internet there's a podcast where Kev directed Ralph Garman (who does impressions) through readings of both of these and it's pretty funny. I couldn't find it or I would have posted the link.
