THE POWCAST! EPISODE #5 BEN BENTLEY AND JOHN DIMAGGIO

The POWcast! is back and aims to bring you a nostalgic look back at the movies, shows, and people from your childhood that made you who you are today. In Jimmy’s case that was the Batman 66 TV show that inspired a never ending celebration of all things Retro, Cool, and maybe a little Nerdy. 

This episode is an in depth chat with one of ‘66 Batman fandom’s biggest names. Ben Bentley is not only Co- moderator of the Batman 66 Message Board he is, as we say, an expert’s expert. Ben shares tales of travel to LA and how his hobby grew into a passion. Not only logging but identifying all the shooting locations for each of the 120 episodes of the ‘66 Batman show. Quite a feat, but Ben is close to completion. Why does this show speak to so many generations of fans? Listen to Ben’s thoughts here. 

Once again the “Bat-Time Contrivance” is utilized and set for summer of 2017. The Summer of 2017 and the Comic Con Palm Springs. Not only was it hot enough to melt our Batarangs we talked with voice actor extraordinaire John DiMaggio (Futurama, Adventure Time). John talks about Under the Red Hood and remembers Adam West.
