THE FANDOM ZONE 201: "Filmed Before a Live Studio Audience" Is Up!

 
"No one can process the data quite like you do, pal.  You're like a walking computer."
"What?  I most certainly am not.  I'm a regular carbon-based employee made entirely of organic matter, much like yourself, Norm."
-- Norm and The Vision, WandaVision: "Episode 1"

Hello again, everyone!  It's time for another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast!  This time, my co-hosts Jesse Jackson & DJ Nik and I discuss "Filmed Before a Live Studio Audience" and "Don't Touch That Dial", the first two episodes of the Disney+ series WandaVision, featuring Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff, Paul Bettany as the Vision, Kathryn Hahn as "Agnes", Teyonah Parris as "Geraldine", and Emma Caulfield Ford as Dottie Jones!

In this episode, Jesse, Nik and I talk about things like where WandaVision is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline, Jesse remembering watching TV in black-and-white, how I watched reruns of Bewitched back in the day, wondering why the Disney+ original show episodes are so damn short, how Nik watched classic American sitcoms in Italy, the divisive fan reaction to the first two episodes, Jesse appreciating the laugh track, the introduction of Maria Rambeau's daughter Monica Rambeau, the in-show "commercials" referencing Stark Industries and Baron Strucker, wondering if Wanda will do a reverse-House of M and "bring back mutants" to the MCU, the inspirations for the WandaVision house interior sets, the '50s sitcom trope of inviting your boss to dinner at your house, the greatness of Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany, wondering if Doctor Strange will appear to deliver Wanda's twins, the similarity to the film Pleasantville, my theory that Wanda is having an emotional breakdown over Vision's death and created her own TV sitcom reality bubble, wanting David Lynch to direct an episode of WandaVision, wondering if "Agnes" is actually Agatha Harkness from the comics, the disturbing scene of Mr. Hart choking on a piece of food and Mrs. Hart repeating the words "Stop it!", Wanda speaking with a flawless American accent, wondering if the Beekeeper Guy is S.W.O.R.D. or A.I.M., Jimmy Woo as the mysterious radio voice, our favorite quotes of the episode, Fandom Zone Fanmail from Holly Mac and Dave Proctor, fans freaking out because Marvel did something different, Nik and I being glad that Jesse is sticking with us, and more!
