THE FANDOM ZONE 261: "Rogues of War" Is Up!

 
"Everything they've stolen -- the Roemer accelerator battery, the sonic gauntlets...Now a temporal scanner? They're all components you'd need to build a Cosmic Treadmill."
"Do I want to know what that is?"
"It's a machine that uses kinetic energy to open quantum wormholes in space and time, which is a lot of power in the wrong hands."
"Yeah...I didn't."
-- Barry Allen and Kristen Kramer, The Flash -- "Rogues of War"

Hello again, everyone! It's time for another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast!  This time, DJ Nik and I return to The Fandom Zone to discuss "Rogues of War", the third episode of The Flash Season Nine, featuring Grant Gustin as The Flash/Barry Allen, Andy Mientus as Pied Piper, Javicia Leslie as The Red Death, and the introduction of Alexandria Wailes as Murmur!

In this episode, DJ Nik and I talk about things like Nik keeping me straight on my Oscar picks, why we didn't record "Hear No Evil" as planned, my grading The Flash on a very low bar since Eric Wallace became showrunner, wondering why Barry was involved in a DOD facility heist without wearing a mask to conceal his identity, wishing the Rogues on Barry's team were classic villains like Captain Cold and Heat Wave, some background on Khione in Greek mythology, some comics background on The Fiddler and Murmur, wondering how Murmur eats with his mouth sewn shut, Edgar Allan Poe being the OG goth icon, Nik loving Hartley because he's irritating, Hotness calling out Barry for not trusting the Rogues, Barry being a control freak yet again, why this group of Rogues works well with Barry, Chester getting the icy treatment from Allegra, Iris finally learning how to cook, wondering what Khione brings to the table as a character, my having a soft spot for the movie Sky High, why Iris needs to relax about not being having time to pursue her dreams after she becomes a mother, wishing we could've seen Chester talking to Luke Fox, how Red Death gets her Rogues to do what she wants, Chillblaine flipping from Team Flash to Team Red Death, the reveal of the Red Death's identity, my theory why Red Death wants to build a Cosmic Treadmill, our favorite quotes of the episode, watching Yellow Submarine on Drunk Cinema, waiting for Joe and Cecile's baby to appear "missing" on milk cartons, and more!
