"Here we go. Okay, Doom Patrol...A minor superhero team active from the early to late ‘50s. And then they just…dropped off the scene."
"They’re so…smiley. Look more like a creepy sex cult than superheroes."
-- Cyborg and Robotman, Doom Patrol -- "Doom Patrol Patrol"
Hello again, Titans and Doom Patrol fans! My fellow TitanTalker Jesse Jackson and I are back with another new episode of TitanTalk: The Titans Podcast! This time, we discuss "Doom Patrol Patrol", the sixth episode of the DC Universe series Doom Patrol, introducing Alimi Ballard as Joshua Clay, Will Kemp as Mento/Steve Dayton, Jasmine Kaur as Celsius/Arani Desai, and Lesa Wilson as Lodestone/Rhea Jones!
In this episode, Jesse and I discuss things like the TV show drawing from multiple eras of the Doom Patrol comics, another homage to the X-Men, Rita's horrible casting couch encounter, Rita wanting Steve to wear the Mento helmet when they made love, the tease of Rita's guilt concerning Marybeth, Rita finally deciding to put her movie star past behind her, Crazy Jane watching a video of herself as Baby Doll, Jane learning that the Chief considered her broken, Jane being engulfed by a raging river of puzzle pieces, the Negative Spirit saving the day, the introduction of the original Doom Patrol, Joshua Clay as the Doom Patrol member Tempest, wondering how Larry knows Joshua from the military, whether the original Doom Patrol are aware they're living in Mento's mental fantasy world, Arani thinking she was married to the Chief, Mr. Nobody turning policemen into pinatas, Cliff trying to get Cyborg to hack into his daughter's Facehole account, Silas Stone teasing the notion of building Cliff a new robotic body, Vic hugging his father to steal his flash drive, Cliff calling out Silas for not treating Vic like an adult, Cliff learning that Bump is his daughter's stepfather, our favorite quotes of the episode, Cliff's "We Kicked the Apocalypse's Ass" sandiwiches, some Titans Season 2 casting news, some Tell It to TitanTalk feedback from Holly from Wisconsin, and more!
