THE FANDOM ZONE 238: "The Goldfish Problem" Is Up!

"Oh, the idiot's in control."
-- Khonshu, Moon Knight: "The Goldfish Problem"

Hello again, everyone! It's time for another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast!  This time, DJ Nik and I discuss "The Goldfish Problem", the first episode of the Marvel series Moon Knight, introducing Oscar Isaac as Steven Grant/Marc Spector, Ethan Hawke as Arthur Harrow, F. Murray Abraham as the voice of Khonshu, and Lucy Thackeray as Donna!

In this episode, DJ Nik and I talk about things like showrunner Jeremy Slater being hit or miss, director Mohamed Diab being upset about Wonder Woman 1984, whether Moon Knight lived up to the hype, wondering if Marc Spector's Jewish heritage will be addressed, Oscar Isaac as Apocalypse in X-Men: Apocalypse, my love of Spider-Man 2099, F. Murray Abraham as Ahdar Ru'afo in Star Trek: Insurrection, Ethan Hawke in Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, some comics background on Moon Knight and Arthur Harrow, the Easter eggs featuring Moon Knight allies Frenchie and Bertrand Crawley, Oscar Isaac's cheesy British accent as Steven Grant, Steven Grant thinking he's a sleepwalker, Steven being a loser and incredibly lonely person, the tone of the show reminding me of the Legion TV series, Steven's dissociative identity disorder, the differences between Steven Grant and Marc Spector, Disney+ needing to upgrade its service beyond standard PG-13 fare, wondering if we'll see Oscar Isaac as Moon Knight again after these six episodes, the innocent cupcakes harmed in this episode, Khonshu's voice resembling the symbiote voice from the Venom movie, our early guesses on why the golden scarab is so important, Moon Knight pummeling the crap out of a jackal, the decision to introduce the show from Steven's perspective instead of rehashing the comics, some background on the Egyptian demon-goddess Ammit, Arthur Harrow filling his sandals with bits from a crushed shot glass, wondering if Ammit is going to empower Arthur Harrow as a match for Khonshu's Moon Knight, Arthur's scales of justice arm tattoo going tilt while trying to judge Steven, old school flip and slide phones, our favorite quotes of the episode, Stargirl casting Tim Gabriel as Obsidian, new Fandom Zone Fanmail from Jesse Jackson, Holly Mac and Dave Proctor, my liking Wham's "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" as a guilty pleasure, and more!
