What's so intriguing about Dick? Sure, it's bursting with color and cartoon villains, but is it really for kids? Perhaps there's a quiet layer of mid-life emptiness lurking under the primary lights, snazzy costumes, Madonna's torch songs—along with her brazen banter and boobage. The Notorious J.A.M. and CK-1 dig past the dozens of celebrity cameos and the massive marketing machine—and ask the big question: Can this yellow-coated hero ever step out from under the long, dark shadow of Batman?

The Notorious J.A.M. rejoins CK-1 for a dive into the cinematic surreality that failed to make Madonna the world's biggest movie star: The ultra-low-budget, revenge fever dream A Certain Sacrifice and the helium-voiced, screwball chaos of Who's That Girl? Brace yourself for love slaves, satanic rituals, diabolical driving, cougars on the loose, and a whole lot of 'what were they thinking?'
