This week, the guys are joined by special guest Momma Poppins as they go on a magical journey through the Golden Age of Disney films. 

San Diego Comic Con happened this weekend, and the crew gets into what Ben Affleck has most recently said about his future with the Batman franchise and the shared DC Extended Universe.

How do these legendary films hold up to the Bat-Jar's rating system? Who comes out on top? Why does Average Joe hate Prince Charming? Join us in this week's Bat-Jar to find out the answers!
