It's something a little different this time. Instead of a fight, we just talk. In our first ever commentary, we talk during the first 2 episodes of Batman: The Animated Series. First up is "on Leather Wings" followed by "Christmas With the Joker" So break out your DVDs or torrents (these aren't streaming on Netflix, sorry) and listen to us talk during the show, just like in real life!

It's a new kind of episode with BEST OF STAR WARS, its character vs quote vs costume vs scene vs music vs whatever. A mish mash of Star Wars things all against each other, and only Damon Shaw, Mike Ortiz, Charity Wood, Bret Black and Juan Patino can successfully navigate this asteroid field (the odds are 3720 to 1 you know). Will the Imperial March march all over Ewoks? Will Star Tours take Yoda for a ride? Will the Millenium Falcon run the Geek Fights Run in less than 12 parsecs? Will Greedo shoots first shoot first against Han shoots first? Oh and Slave Leia. That's all just Slave Leia.

Set a course for adventure with BEST SPACESHIP! Join Damon Shaw, Mike Ortiz, Amin Amat, Paul Storrie and Brian Cross as they travel to the stars and beyond to find the best bucket of bolts this or any other galaxy has to offer. The Millenium Falcon did the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs, but can it deliver a win faster than the Planet Express? The NSEA Protector may be a USS Enterprise knockoff, but can it score a knockout? The CE3K ship may be a great Mother ship, but is it a bad motherfu**er? Can even an infinite improbability drive give the Heart of Gold a win? Especially when it's infinitely more improbable that the Serenity can avoid getting canned again. It's our most spite-filled episode yet!

It's a very special (and very unusual) episode of Geek Fights. If you thought the last episode was strange, this one's a doozy. This time out it's ROBOTS VS ALIENS with Damon Shaw and the fine folks of C2E2, recorded on the show floor, and the hotel bar, with whoever we could corral into playing. Hear Damon drunk and losing his voice. Also up are some conventions stories then and now.
