TITANTALK 055: "Finger Patrol" Is Up!


"Sorry to disturb your night terror."
"It wasn't a night terror."
"Spooky wet dream, then.  Whatever."
-- Cliff Steele and Vic Stone, Doom Patrol: "Finger Patrol"

Hello again, Doom Patrol fans!  My co-host DJ Nik and I are back for a brand-new episode of TitanTalk: The Titans Podcast!  This time, we discuss "Finger Patrol", the fifth episode from Doom Patrol Season 2, featuring Karen Obilom as Roni Evers, John Getz as Paul Trainor, the return of Phil Morris as Silas Stone, and the introduction of Irene Ziegler as Micki Harris!

In this episode, DJ Nik and I discuss things like Nik and I both being X-Philes, our praise to the Doom Patrol casting department, some comics background on Rebis and the symbolism of the Russian Matryoshka dolls, what the deal was with the Chief's sketch of Cliff with giant spider legs, Cliff hanging out with Vic and how far he's come since Season 1, Cliff giving Vic advice and how patch things up with Roni, Cliff's tremendous "Steele & Stone" '70s cop show fantasy sequence, Vic and Cliff asking Silas to upgrade Cliff's robot body, Metal Men creator Doc Magnus, Roni telling Vic that she worked for Quorum until she screwed up and they took her enhancements away, Larry admitting to his son Paul that he's gay, Larry's self-esteem taking a beating once again by trusting Paul, Rita stepping up as a superhero, Rita being determined to prove to her dead mother that she has acting talent, Baby Doll hanging out with Dorothy, Diane Guerrero's incredible performance as Baby Doll, Baby Doll and Dorothy's game of hide and seek becoming a total dumpster fire, the Candlemaker murdering Baby Doll and Flaming Katy, Mr. Nobody vs. the Candlemaker, the '80s TV series Moonlighting, our favorite quotes of the episode, new Tell It to TitanTalk email from Holly Mac, Nik going back and listening to old Ghostwood: The Twin Peaks Podcast episodes, and more!
