THE FANDOM ZONE 256: "Playing House" Is Up!

 
"I'm not afraid."
"You should be. A Nightmare's purpose is to reveal a dreamer's fears, that they may face them. Perhaps a few thousand years in the Darkness will reveal your fears."
"Better that than to make others afraid. Even a Nightmare can dream, my lord."
-- Gault and Morpheus, The Sandman -- "Playing House"

Hello again, everyone! It's time for another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast!  In this episode, DJ Nik and I discuss "Playing House", the eighth episode of The Sandman, featuring Eddie Karanja as Jed Walker and Ann Ogbomo as Gault, and "Just Jen", the sixth episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, featuring David Pasquesi as Mr. Immortal/Craig Hollis!

In this episode, DJ Nik and I talk about things like Nik dreading the new fascist regime in Italy, how The Sandman audio adaptation surpasses the TV adaptation, some comics background on Barnaby and Clarice, the DC Comics supervillains referenced in "Playing House", Jed's Sandman costume being based on Hector Hall's Sandman costume in the comics, Barbie's fantasy dreamworld with Martin Tenbones foreshadowing the storyline "A Game of You", changes from The Sandman comics, the Bed & Breakfast housemates agreeing to share flyers for Rose, wondering how much money was spent on the printer ink cartridges to print all those color flyers for Rose, Rose walking through her housemates' dreams, that awkward moment when Lyta returns to the waking world to find herself suddenly months pregnant, Hector building a Dream House, Jed acting as a superhero Sandman to fight the Pied Piper, the Corinthian killing Barnaby and Clarice, Gault wanting to help Jed escape his horrible reality, Morpheus not buying Gault's argument that Nightmares can be something else, our favorite Sandman quotes, some comics background on Mr. Immortal and the Intelligencia, She-Hulk trolling people who are only watching the show for Daredevil, the disappointing MCU version of Mr. Immortal, more of my theory that the Leader is trying to get Jen's gamma-irradiated blood, Jen being made a bridesmaid so she has to clean up, Titania freaking out after busting up her grill on the reception floor, Titania being her own worst enemy, the setup with the Intelligencia, our favorite She-Hulk: Attorney at Law quotes, new Fandom Zone Fanmail from Holly Mac, Jesse Jackson & Dave Proctor, and more!
