On an all-new edition of The Weekly Podioplex, there can only be seven as the remake of the classic Magnificent Seven rustles up box office gold. Quick on their heels is a special delivery from Storks, and the match is set for this week's winners and the newcomers, Miss Peregrine, Deepwater Horizon, and some Masterminds. It's a regular showdown in September.
Moving to home entertainment, quite a few lower end summer performers are coming to disc, and digital video showcases a preview of coming attractions with Ghostbusters and Independence Day: Resurgence. TV on DVD comes to the table with Grimm, Reign, and Ripper Street, and the classics on Blu-Ray proclaim that there can only be one. Not seven, but one, as Highlander reaches its thirtieth anniversary.
Add in your weekly news with Denise and the Quick Flicks, and you have a brand new edition of The Weekly Podioplex, exclusively on The Chronic Rift Network.

On an all-new edition of The Weekly Podioplex, Sully's still strong as the newbies all fall short. The next group of contenders for the crown are magnificent, including Storks and the remake of the Magnificent Seven. Can an animated comedy or a western succeed where the Blair Witch, Bridget Jones, and Snowden could not?
Moving to home entertainment, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back, as are the Neighbors and the Free State of Jones. Digital video brings the Purge and a new look at the legend of Tarzan, and television rings up an idiosyncratic mystery tale in Twin Peaks. Finally, the classics celebrate an eigthieth birthday with a thirtieth anniversary.

"Surf''s Up, Joker's Under" Aired November 16, 1967
The Joker plans to become king of the surf by winning the championships at Gotham Point. Didn't know he could surf, did you? Well he can, thanks to the reverseramator, he's been able to steal the surfing ability of champion surfer Skip Parker. It's all part of Joker's scheme to control the minds of the surfing community and in time, the world. We've seen a similar theme this season with the Riddler, the Penguin, and even Louie the Lilac and this one is the most outlandish - but it works.
Joining John to discuss this episode is Dan Greenfield, creator and author of the 13th Dimension website. In fact, Dan will argue that this may be one of the best episodes, not only of the third season, but of the entire series itself. Take a listen and let us know what you think. Comment on the episode here or write thebatcavepodcast@gmail.com.

On an all-new edition of The Weekly Podioplex, we return to the podcasting airwaves as Tom Hanks returns to the number one position with the story of Sully and the Miracle on the Hudson. Coming up against the airline captain are sequels and real world drama including Bridget Jones, the Blair Witch, and Edward Snowden.
Moving to home entertainment, Marvel declares Civil War, the Warrens return to the Conjuring, and a shark terrorizes Blake Lively in The Shallows. Television gets a Big Bang, a trip to Longmire, and a visit from Madam Secretary. We wrap that section with a look back on Stand By Me and the Transformers. Add in a bit of news about a certain fedora-clad archeologist and an unofficial fan film, and you have a brand new edition of The Weekly Podioplex, exclusively on The Chronic Rift Network.

"Charlie X" The Enterprise takes on the lone survivor of a crashed transport ship. The young teen struggles with being among so many people and learning how to behave. But he is struggling with something else as well, something that could threaten all of humanity if he's not stopped. John and Krissy have a great deal to say about this episode, one they feel would have made a better first episode to premiere the series as it has the action and yet the intellectual beats we expect in an episode of Star Trek. Do you agree with our assessment? Leave your thoughts on the episode here.

Shazam!"Fool's Gold"September 20, 1975
An old gold prospector is tormented by a group of young boys in the mountains near his claim. But when he's trapped within his mine, will they do the right thing and save him in time?
Actor Michael Gray returns to the podcast to discuss another favorite of his from the Shazam! series. This episode marks the final appearance of Jackson Bostwick in the role of Captain Marvel. In addition to discussing the episode, Michael also talks about the accident that brought about Jackson's departure, the bonus feature he appears in on the Archer sixth season DVD set, and the possibility of his appearing on Dancing with the Stars.
It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode. Write us as ShazamIsisPodcast@gmail.com.
Moral: “There are some things even more precious than gold, things like respect and understanding. Respect means more than being polite. It means knowing we've learned from each other. There's a lot we can learn, if we only listen."
Guest Cast Dabbs Greer as Seldom Seen Slim Michael LeClair as Jimmy Radames Pera as Rafael

John and Krissy are joined by the wonderful Billy Flynn of Geek Radio Daily in the first hour of the podcast. They talk about Stranger Things, The Tick, British actors affecting American accents, Match Game 2016 and the whole game show revival and more. In the second hour, the three are joined by writer/editor Jim Beard to discuss the 50th anniversary of Star Trek. Some questions discussed include: - Do we fetishize Star Trek to the point where we miss the point of it? (with thanks to Dan Persons for his commentary) - Is it fair that Star Trek, the original series, is sharing the celebration with all the other versions of the Star Trek series? - Which kind of Star Trek works best?
Show Notes 4:55 - Billy Flynn feels that Stranger Things is a great homage to 80s Stephen King.
16:38 - John is hoping that people will vote for The Tick as Amazon's next produced series.
32:22 - A discussion of ABC's Sunday night game shows and how things have changed and in many respects have remained the same occurs.
48:39 - Krissy plugs a Kickstarter - All the Places You'll Boldly Go - by David Gerrold and Ty Templeton.
