In the final part of the Vengeance of Batman trilogy, Elliott and his main accomplice, Max Pink, explore the overpopulated and generally excessive finale to this Batman story.
In the sequel to “The Vengeance of Batman: A Funnier Tale than You’d Expect,” we find an absolutely broken story with a strangely eerie tone that just might be the worst script our host has ever written.

Writing a script that was almost, nearly just okay, 19 year old Elliott Brotherhood creates a strangely comedic telling of the story of Black Agnes, a Scottish War hero.

In an entirely unwarranted and unsolicited return to the podcast scene, Elliott Brotherhood spends an hour talking about two attempts to tackle stories about J.M. Barrie’s boy who never grew up, which range from entirely nonsensical, to utterly pretentious.
In a very special episode of Scripts for Shredding, Elliott is accompanied by the lovely and beautiful Tory Trettin (girlfriend and Girlboss) on a trip down memory lane as they explore a trilogy of short plays from their diseased, teenage minds. Tension of both a romantic and violent nature is woven into every word.
In this the first play a young Elliott Brotherhood ever wrote, audiences are appalled to find a nonsensical story based on the lore of the famous Marvel Comics character "Spider-Man" that borrows just a bit too much from the Andrew Garfield iteration of the character.

In this the first part of our two-episode "Finding the Suit Special," Elliott takes a trip down memory lane as he analyzes his first show that was ever produced. A variety of antics are covered, such as the allegory used to illustrate anxiety that is equal parts interesting and odd, silly occurrences during the production's run, and the unlikely and meaningful bonds that were forged along the way.
A young Elliott Brotherhood writes a screen adaptation of a story from his uncle's youth. Scrapping the bottom of the barrel for content, he ends up writing a story that defames the character of a real person who is still CURRENTLY living, implies that one of the biggest gaming companies in history rigged a small, local competition in favor of the contender they liked, and characterizes the world of young Tony Sileno as a violent and aggressive one.
Fourteen-year-old Elliott Brotherhood, desperate to portray Batman in some way, shape or form, writes a comedic Batman film during his freshman year of high school that cannot decide if it actually wants to be a comedy or not. Or whether it takes place in the 21st century or 1886.
Riding the high of performing in a Sherlock Holmes play, fifteen-year-old Elliott Brotherhood, who staunchly opposes doing real, meaningful research, completely makes up the story of how the great Sir Arthur Conan Doyle came up with his famous detective.
