A Thousand Natural Shocks With Gabe S. Dunn

Holy right-wing propaganda, Batman! It's another break down and takedown -- and Gaby has lost their mind AGAIN! In just 48 hours, Gaby watched SIX Batman movies to deep dive into how the films have historically portrayed Bruce Wayne's massive wealth. They're then joined by friend of the show, activist, and Yo! Is This Racist host Andrew Ti to break down and take down the idea of Master Wayne, fictional billionaire and 2022's The Batman. Does his own or his father Thomas Wayne's philanthropy make anything in Gotham better? Why not just pay taxes??? Why would socialist babe Catwoman keep making out with the masked Elon Musk of her city? How can Hollywood keep releasing relevant Batman media when villains like the Riddler and Bane are almost always right? tw: suicide, school shooting, police violence, racism The films Gaby watched: The Batman (2022), Justice League (2017), The Dark Knight Rises (2012), Batman & Robin (1997), Batman Forever (1995), Batman Returns (1992) Links: https://screenrant.com/original-batman-not-billionaire-dc-comics/ https://www.avclub.com/matt-reeves-the-batman-wealth-and-privilege-bruce-wayne-1848661503 How Rich is Batman?

In a COMPREHENSIVE Breakdown and Takedown, Gaby and Celebrity Book Club podcast host Chelsea Devantez read Sophia Amoruso's 2014 memoir #GirlBoss so you don't have to. Gaby lost their GODDAMN mind at some of the anecdotes and cluelessness of the Nasty Gal founder in this Millennial feminist manifesto/business advice book. Part 1 of the recap is on Chelsea's show Celebrity Book Club, but you don't need to listen to it to understand this episode. However, the two episodes together encompass the whole book and provide alllll the tea so it'd be great to check out both!
