Episode 63 - The TV Movie - WHO Corner to Corner
It's about time!Listen in to this week's episode of WHO CORNER TO CORNER in which our hosts Paul and Geoff travel back in time to the Wilderness Years of the 90s to revisit the island of joy that is the Doctor Who TV Movie.Starring Paul McGann as ...
Question is… having watched the Burton and then the Schumacher movies, and now these, do I go right into the Snyder-verse? I’ve seen Batman vs Superman already, years ago, and I didn’t enjoy it at all. But is it worth another watch and potentially a reappraisal?
I didn’t take many pics after that because I was too engrossed into the movie. But I thoroughly enjoyed it. It felt like a neat conclusion to Nolan’s trilogy.
When the football pitch is attacked the film pivots onto a knife edge. Gotham descends into anarchy and Bruce has to literally claw his way back.
Tom Hardy’s Bane is a world away from Schumacher’s mute monster and Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle is a revelation. She doesn’t quite have the darkness of Pfeiffer in Batman Returns but she’s 100% believable, and she & Bale even get their own masquerade dance in homage to Burton’s movie.
Commissioner Gordon gets a lot more to do and new guy ‘Robin’ is terrific.
I’ve been watching the Nolan/Bale Batman films the last few weeks and just finished off the 3rd one ‘The Dark Knight Rises’. I’ve seen it once before but hardly remembered anything about it until I watched it again just now. It hardly gets talked about but I think it’s pretty good!
It might even be my fave of the three…
Cyberpunk 2077 for £25 on Black Friday sale.
Anyone played this lately?
Any good?

Tonight
@geoffcockwill are recording our WHO CORNER TO CORNER podcast looking at Paul McGann’s very first appearance as the Eighth Doctor, so let us know what YOU think of the Doctor Who TV Movie and we’ll include the best comments on the show 👇
I like to think that this is ‘regeneration energy’ restoring Chang Lee & Grace Holloway at the end of the TV Movie, rather than the Doctor “turning back time” but actually it really doesn’t matter. It’s a lot of hokum, but it’s a lot of fun too.
