Well, hello there, world.

I'm Dave Holmes.

Welcome to Troubled Waters.

The show that treats popular culture is the most important kind of culture,

because, well, we used to say it was the one that bums you out the least, but that was before the Batman.

Now, back in the before times, Troubled Waters would pit two teams of comedians against one another in a pop culture battle royale.

But now, teaming up with another person who's not in your quarantine pod might be lethal.

It's definitely more frowned upon than trying to remove all the fucking filmmaking categories from the Academy Awards.

So for now, it is one comic against another.

To win this battle, each comic will be called upon to use their wits, their rhetorical

skills, those fucking devastating comebacks they've been holding on to in a notes app for two

freaking years now in order to earn the coveted troubled watersbled Waters title, Pundit Emeritus.

That title will give a person's opinion on whether the Batman is more Batman-y-than-other-batman-y-than-other-Bat-Mans, more weight than a

civilians. You're listening to Troubled Waters. First of all, how on earth does anyone have the appetite for another goddamn Batman movie?

I don't understand.

I wake up thinking that every day of my life.

I don't understand.

There is so much product, so much.

The Batman.

Is it officially just a religion now?

It's like this one, he's even darker than before.

It's always that.
