Chat out of Hell moves as close as it's ever been to boy band territory this episode as we check in with Jim Steinman's collab with Andrew Lloyd Webber, which somehow led to a single from Boyzone. Meanwhile Meat Loaf rocks the heck out to a track from the never-seen Batman: The Musical and we all wonder if it was a good idea. But while we do, we answer the big questions, questions like:
- What did teenage Emma think fo the boy band phenomenon?

- Was Meat Loaf ever happy?

- Has Sam bitten off more than he can chew with the Mr Blobby song?
PLUS a load of the usual chit chat, some insight into the business workings of Warner Brothers circa 2001, and why Tim Burton dodged a bullet.
