THE FANDOM ZONE 307: "A Great or Little Thing" Is Up!

 
"You're going to Hell, sweetheart."
"I'll save you a seat."
-- Oz Cobb and Sofia Gigante, The Penguin -- "A Great or Little Thing"

Hello again, everyone! DJ Nik and I are back for another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast! This time, we discuss "A Great or Little Thing", the series finale of The Penguin, featuring Colin Farrell as The Penguin/Oz Cobb, Cristin Milioti as Sofia Gigante, Rhenzy Feliz as Vic Aguilar, and Deirdre O'Connell as Francis Cobb!

In this episode, DJ Nik and I talk about things like bringing sunshine to your dark, dark world, Colin Farrell being contracted for three The Batman films, wanting Matt Reeves to explain where the hell Batman was during the events of The Penguin, the show reminding you that Oz is not someone you should root for, some background on Oscar Wilde's poem "The Ballad of Reading Gaol", the shoutout to Batman writer and editor Archie Goodwin, Francis rocking a cigarette holder like the comic book version of the Penguin, some background on the aria "O mio babbino caro" from Giacomo Puccini's opera Gianni Schicchi, the last bombshell that Francis knew all along what Oz did as a child, Rex Calabrese wanting Francis to groom Oz into the world of crime, Sophia and Julian trying to get Francis to admit the truth about Oz, Vic's surprise that the Gotham gangs were so quick to bail on Oz, Sophia trying to get Oz to admit the truth about what he did, Sophia wearing a new outfit for each scene, Sofia needing better hired goons, Oz telling Councilman Hady to blame Sofia and Salvatore Maroni for everything, Oz making his power move to step up in the world, Link and the other gang lieutenants siding with Oz against their leaders, Oz having Sofia sent back to her nightmare at Arkham Asylum, Oz flipping out after learning that his mom is now in a vegetative state, Vic's fatal error by telling Oz that he's family, wondering if we'll get a Hangman and Catwoman team-up in The Batman Part II, the dark irony of Francis finally getting what Oz promised her, Oz forcing Eve to dress up and behave like his mother, the final shot of the Bat Signal reminding viewers that Batman is still there, Oz being similar to Psycho's Norman Bates, The Penguin sticking the landing, our favorite quotes of the episode, new Fandom Zone Fanmail from Jesse Jackson, Aaron Case, and Dave Proctor, my upcoming story for DC Comics' anthology DC's Lex and the City, coming back to discuss all ten episodes of Superman & Lois Season 4, and more!
