THE FANDOM ZONE 302: "Bliss" Is Up!

 
"You're fun at a card game, or over drinks, I'll give you that, but people don't keep you around because they think you're smart. And they sure as shit don't trust you. Nah... People keep the Penguin around as entertainment, because everybody knows you're a goddamn joke."
-- Johnny Viti to Oswald "Oz" Cobb, The Penguin -- "Bliss"

Hello again, everyone! DJ Nik and I are back for another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast! This time, we discuss "Bliss", the third episode of the DC series The Penguin, and "Darkest Hour / Wake Thy Power", the fifth episode of the Marvel series Agatha All Along!
