When Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle started doing Hobo Radio together in 2008, they devoted the bulk of the time their first month together to discussing The Dark Knight.

They’ve been somewhat more reluctant to discuss The Batman, which audiences have seemed to love, but they have been more lukewarm on. But today, Julia Hershey joins them to finally have a detailed, spoiler-filled discussion about the film.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “Something in the Way” by Alicia Widar
