THE FANDOM ZONE 310: "Chasing Squirrels" Is Up!

 
"The Bride and I have nothing going on between us. She's not my type."
"She's everyone's type! So are you!"
-- Rick Flag Sr. and Eric Frankenstein, Creature Commandos -- "Chasing Squirrels"

Hello again, everyone! DJ Nik and I are back for another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast! This time, we discuss "Chasing Squirrels", the fourth episode from Creature Commandos Season One, starring the voices of Sean Gunn as Weasel, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Anya Chalotra as Circe, and Linda Cardellini as Elizabeth Bates!

In this episode, DJ Nik and I talk about things like being halfway out of the dark, Nik celebrating Christmas and Hannukah on the same day, getting some backstory on Weasel, James Gunn's ability to breathe life into D-list characters, the episode's social commentary on the police ignoring the little girl and focusing only on Weasel, Linda Cardellini as Velma Dinkley in Scooby-Doo (2002), some comics background on Weasel, Circe, and Betty Bates, weird shit in the Golden Age, the episode's Easter Egg characters shown in Belle Reve's cafeteria, some mythological background on Circe, that awkward moment when Elizabeth Bates demands to see her client Weasel as he returns from a Task Force M mission, Elizabeth Bates being the only person treating Weasel like a regular person, wondering if Weasel's bestial persona is the result of trauma, the creepy old guy watching the kids through binoculars, The Bride impaling Congorilla over and over in the mouth with a metal food tray, Circe showing Amanda Waller a dark vision of the future of what will happen if Ilana Rostovic isn't killed, wondering how Ilana partners up with Grodd, Eric Frankenstein asking Rick Flag Sr. if he's seen When Harry Met Sally and Titanic, wondering if Weasel will side with Rick and Eric to defend Ilana, our favorite quotes of the episode, another request for Creature Commandos feedback, my upcoming story for DC Comics' anthology DC's Lex and the City, Nik being the only person to not see the Superman (2025) trailer, Nik returning to Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast, and more!
