TITANTALK 087: "Caul's Folly & Dick & Carol & Ted & Kory" Is Up!

 
"Record some memories. They’re a map of who we are. A map we can use to find our way back if we get lost."
"Memories?"
"The shittier, the better."
"Dick…this is some peak daddy bullshit, and you fall for it every time!"
"Painful memories are more vivid. They’ll center you, make you more impenetrable, help drown out the music. It could work!"
"Yeah, I’m sure it could work, if you’re a psychopath!"
-- Dick Grayson and Kory Anders, Titans: "Dick & Carol & Ted & Kory"

Hello again, Titans fans! DJ Nik and I are back with a new episode of TitanTalk: The Titans Podcast! This time, we reopen Titans Tower to discuss "Caul's Folly" and "Dick & Carol & Ted & Kory", the seventh & eighth episodes of Titans Season 4, featuring Brenton Thwaites as Nightwing/Dick Grayson, Anna Diop as Starfire/Kory Anders, and the return of Natalie Gumede as Mercy Graves!

In this episode, DJ Nik and I discuss things like Nik hoping Inter Milan makes it to the semifinals, Titans using up two episodes of their final six without moving the main plot forward, The Flash and Titans both wasting potential as they reach their respective conclusions, TitanTalk finishing what we started with Titans, showrunner Greg Walker directing these two episodes instead of writing them, these two episodes being pushed ahead of "Dude, Where's My Gar?" on the schedule, wondering why Kory wasn't the one who decoded the Tamaranean book, finally getting confirmation that Jinx died, Conner not showing the Titans the rest of the letter from Lex Luthor, Roberta's omnious prophecy that Kory will end...as she is now, wondering how Mercy Graves knew that Conner was returning to Cadmus, Tim and Bernard's adjoining hotel rooms being reminiscent of a scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Bernard being the uptight one in the relationship, more speculation on Lex Luthor being inside Conner's body, the 1969 rom-com Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, wondering how many streets Kory actually tried to leave Caul's Folly, wondering how the Cult of Blood got those faked pictures of Dick and Kory made so fast, my wishing the Cult of Blood was more like the Thuggee Cult in Temple of Doom, wondering how the Sheriff knew that following ravens would lead him to Rachel, wondering how Megan and her father Jacob could lip-read one another while looking away from one another, Kory calling out Dick for his "daddy issues", the interdimensional lite rock radio station powered by one guy hooked up to tubes of blood, Dick's ruined pink shirt, Conner and Sebastian toasting to the future, our favorite quotes of the episodes, some leftover Fandom Zone Fanmail from Jesse Jackson and Christine Peruski, looking forward to seeing Stargirl again in the next episode, and more!
