TITANTALK 090: "Project Starfire" Is Up!

 
"Replicate powers…Is that even possible?"
"If anybody could, it’s Lex. You’d be surprised what jealousy and a shit ton of money can do."
-- Rachel Roth and Dick Grayson, Titans: "Project Starfire"

Hello again, Titans fans! DJ Nik and I are back with a new episode of TitanTalk: The Titans Podcast! This time, we discuss "Project Starfire", the eleventh episode of Titans Season 4, featuring featuring Anna Diop as Starfire/Kory Anders, Jay Lycurgo as Robin III/Tim Drake, Franka Potente as Mother Mayhem, and the return of Curran Walters as Red Hood/Jason Todd!

In this episode, we discuss things like Nik's update on his Inter Milan football club, Titans finally using proper episode titles, hoping the returning Trigon won't be just a guy in a suit once again, Sebastian finally getting his official Brother Blood super suit, Jason Todd's return fitting in well with the advancement of Tim's evolution into the third Robin, some comics background on Tim's debut as the third Robin, our disappointment that Jason's alias "Venta" had no meaning whatsoever, Dick and Kory musing on regular people going about their day without worrying about people like Brother Blood and Trigon, wondering if Starfire will end up joining Dick in civilian life, Dick calling out Kory for wanting to do everything herself without the Titans' help, wondering how long Lex Luthor was working on replicating Starfire's blue light powers, Conner clearly being a good guy again because he's wearing his Superboy t-shirt, Gar and Rachel being forced into the "guy in the chair" role, Rachel advising Gar to embrace his connection to The Red, Tim getting his version of Dick's "Fuck Batman" scene from the first episode of Titans, Red Hood taking over for Batman in Gotham City, Jason giving Tim some more fighting tricks in his arsenal, Jason giving Tim his own motorcycle, wondering how Sebastian learned that his dead mom was still alive, Sebastian's whiny "I'm not nothing!" rant, Mother Mayhem's Mortal Kombat "Fatality" move, the writers probably ditching their "Conner is actually Lex Luthor in Conner's body" setup at the last minute to make Conner good again, Dick quickly trusting Conner with their only shot to take out Sebastian, Sebastian absorbing his mom and her powers to level up, wondering if Raven will go to a temple somewhere like the Scarlet Witch with the Darkhold, Eminem's "Lose Yourself", wondering if we'll get a Superman cameo in the finale like the one in the Shazam! movie, our favorite quotes of the episode, new Twitter feedback from Madison Dad & Son, my upcoming return to NIk's Gold Standard: The Oscars Podcast to discuss The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, wondering if the writers will figure out how to stick the landing in the Titans finale, and more!
