TITANTALK 072: "Evil Patrol" Is Up!

 
"Get a load of this stuff. When I first got into the game, laser beams weren't even a thing. I put laser beams on the map!"
-- The Brain to Madame Rouge, Doom Patrol: "Evil Patrol"

Hello again, Titans and Doom Patrol fans! DJ Nik and I are back with a new episode of TitanTalk: The Titans Podcast! This time, we discuss "Evil Patrol", the ninth episode of Doom Patrol Season 3, featuring April Bowlby as Rita Farr, Michelle Gomez as Madame Rouge, Phil Morris as Silas Stone, and Jonathan Lipow as the voice of Monsieur Mallah!

In this episode, DJ Nik and I discuss things like Nik's Montreal Canadiens getting their asses whupped by the New York Islanders, my being proven right on the Brain buying the blueprints to Cliff's robot body online, the Doom Patrol writers actually talking to each other unlike the Titans writers, some comics background on the Brain and Monsieur Mallah, Rita's obsession with getting vengeance on Madame Rouge, Madame Rouge having a different outlook than when she was with the Sisterhood of Dada, Rita having been changed by her experiences in the past, Rita being frustrated because none of the other Doom Patrol members is in a position to help her enact her revenge plan, my living in Florida for three years, Monsieur Mallah having zero time for Madame Rouge, wondering what the Brain and Monsieur Mallah were up to at the retirement community before Madame Rouge showed up, lowering your ambitions as you get older, the Brain and Mallah betraying Madame Rouge, Nik hating the Brain walking around in Cliff's robot body, Vic's brutal conversation with his father, Silas turning his son Vic into Cyborg because it was better than being a normal black man in the world, the other Doom Patrol members not caring that Vic looks human again, the Madame Rouge fight in the kitchen being reminiscent of Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, Kay deciding to retreat back to the Underground, Clara driving all the way from Florida to tell Cliff to see a real doctor for his Parkinson's, wanting a brain-on-brain fight between Cliff and the Brain, the space parasite larva feeding off the Doom Patrol's negative energy, Larry calling out Rita for getting them killed at the resort instead of simply changing the timeline, Rita putting her friendships with the Doom Patrol aside to focus on her vengeance obsession, our favorite quotes of the episode, new Tell It to TitanTalk email from Chet Williams, Steve Siegmund & Chris from Colorado, DJ Nik discussing the Doctor Who Series 13 premiere on Next Stop Everywhere, looking forward to the Brotherhood of Evil's giant robot Rog, and more!
