THE FANDOM ZONE 178: "S.T.R.I.P.E." Is Up!

"Come on, sidekick. Don’t flake on me now."
"The last time I was a sidekick, my partner got killed."
"Yes, but this time you have a freaking robot!  You can do this, Pat.  The staff chose me and I choose you.  Stargirl and Stripsey.  What about Stripe?  Ooh, like an acronym.  Um... Subatomic Tactical Robot Internet Pat Enhancer.  Nailed it, yes!  That’s cool."
-- Courtney Whitmore and Pat Dugan, Stargirl: "S.T.R.I.P.E."

Hello again, everyone!  My co-host Jesse Jackson and I are back with another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast!  This time, we discuss "S.T.R.I.P.E.", the second episode of the DC Universe/CW series Stargirl, featuring Brec Bassinger as Stargirl, Luke Wilson as S.T.R.I.P.E., Christopher James Baker as Brainwave, and introducing Eric Goins as The Gambler!

In this episode, Jesse and I talk about things like the easter egg of Geoff Johns' sister Courtney, the second episode feeling like the second hour of a two-hour pilot, the Injustice Society running Blue Valley, not knowing who Mike's mother is, the importance of your show's leads having chemistry with one another, Courtney's youthful enthusiasm vs. Pat's older experience, the Golden Age Starman (Ted Knight) being the creator of the Cosmic Staff, my theory that Jack Knight is Courtney's father, paying tribute to the sewing machines that Courtney trashed making her Stargirl costume, hoping the Injustice Society's plan is better than the Cylons' plan on Battlestar Galactica, Courtney having a natural talent for being a superhero, Courtney the Injustice Slayer, waiting for Henry King Jr. to become Brainwave Jr., DC's Starman Omnibus hardcovers, the Wizard being responsible for his kid by having a wall safe for his wand, the odd "meet cute" of Pat meeting the Wizard's wife, wanting Pat to have his damn cookie, the Gambler being a really bad office team leader, Solomon Grundy locked away in the Injustice Society's secret bunker, needing Stargirl right now like we needed Smallville after the events of 9/11, our favorite quotes of the episode, Tom Ellis closing a deal for Lucifer Season 6, the first image of Dorothy Spinner for Doom Patrol Season 2, and more!
