TITANTALK 030: "Hair Patrol" is Up!


"Talking streets, comic books...I always thought the weirdest thing in Chief’s life was us."
-- Rita Farr to Cyborg, Doom Patrol -- "Hair 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 “Hair Patrol”, the tenth episode of the DC Universe series Doom Patrol, featuring Timothy Dalton as The Chief, Tommy Snider as The Beard Hunter, Pisay Pao as Slava, and Max Martini as Alistair!

In this episode, Jesse and I discuss things like taking Easter off, Avengers: Endgame Day, Jesse not being impressed by the Beard Hunter, Joan Van Ark on Knots Landing and Dallas, differences from Grant Morrison and Vince Giarrano's original story "The Beard Hunter" from Doom Patrol (vol.2) #45, The Chief exploring for the Bureau of Oddities in 1913 Northern Yukon Territory, Slava being curious about the Chief instead of killing him, the first hints of how the Chief became immortal, the Chief realizing he needs to protect Slava from the world, the Beard Hunter being a parody of The Punisher, the really gross moment of the Beard Hunter consuming the Chief's beard hair from a bathroom sink drain, Jesse not being big on subtext, the cheesy 1983 Saturday Night Fever sequel Staying Alive, the first tease of Flex Mentallo from Morrison's Doom Patrol run, calling my shot on Grid, the creepy Coraline-esque life-sized doll of The Chief, Mr. Nobody learning the Chief has been hiding Slava from him all this time, my favorite quotes of the episode, Jesse not appreciating absurdist humor, new Tell It to TitanTalk feedback from Holly in Wisconsin, and more!
