THE FANDOM ZONE 290: "The Case of the Dandelion Shrine" Is Up!

 
"Being a detective is not all invading people's minds, reading objects, and ta-da, there's your answer. Sometimes, actual detective work is required."
-- Edwin Paine, Dead Boy Detectives -- "The Case of the Dandelion Shrine"

Hello again, everyone! DJ Nik and I are back for another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast! This time, we discuss "The Case of the Dandelion Shrine", the second episode of Dead Boy Detectives, introducing Yuyu Kitamura as Niko Sasaki, Lukas Gage as the Cat King, and Michael Beach as Tragic Mick!

In this episode, DJ Nik and I talk about things like wondering how X-Men '97 is going to wrap up this season, co-writer Shoshana Sachi joining us on TitanTalk: The Titans Podcast, Nik showing restraint on not binging the entire season, Michael Beach as Black Manta's father in Aquaman, the ensemble cast of two dead boys with two living girls, what Niko brings to the table, Nik and I both being cat lovers, Spawn working far better in animation than live-action, Alexander Calvert being replaced by Lukas Gage as the Cat King, the introduction of the Cat King, Edwin being forced to confront his sexuality, the Caging Spell Bracelet being used as a plot device to keep the Dead Boys from returning to England, the Ghost Mailman giving ghosts a jump scare, the introduction of Tragic Mick and his magic shop, wondering how Tragic Mick makes money to keep the shop open if he just gives things away, our first impressions of Niko, Jenny's butcher shop having a Sweeney Todd vibe, my Twin Peaks vibes after Niko's hair turned completely white, the Dandelion Sprites fitting in with a Terry Pratchett Discworld novel, the Dandelion Sprites dropping F-bombs left and right, Esther Finch chopping up her pet crow Monty to turn him into a human, our favorite quotes of the episode, Pulp Fiction's upcoming 30th anniversary, and more!
