THE FANDOM ZONE 337: "Pacoima" Is Up!

 
"Did bits and bobs in the West End."
"Weren't you The Mandarin?"
"Then I took a role, posing as an international terrorist to pay my drug and prostitution debts."
-- Trevor Slattery and Eric Williams, Wonder Man -- "Pacoima"

Hello again, everyone! DJ Nik and I are back for another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast! This time, we discuss "Pacoima", the third episode of the Marvel TV miniseries  Wonder Man, featuring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams, Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slattery, and introducing Demetrius Grosse as Eric Williams and Shola Adewusi as Martha Williams!

In this episode, DJ Nik and I talk about things like recording on Valentine's Day, meeting Simon's family and getting a feel for what Simon went through growing up, some comics background on Eric Williams a.k.a. the Grim Reaper, the sources of the quotes that Trevor and Simon recite, Simon's powers manifesting at the age of 13 and making him a potential mutant, Nik's love of The Beast, Simon's decision to take up acting as a profession, the Department of Damage Control having quotas to fill up their supermax prison, Trevor having a conflict between his friendship for Simon and gathering intel on him for Agent Cleary, Agent Cleary altering Trevor's deal, Eric not seeing Simon's acting career being productive, Eric feeling resentment toward Simon, Eric berating Simon until Simon shatters his mother's kitchen island, wondering how Martha explains the shattered kitchen island to her relatives, Simon being at his lowest point and considering giving up acting, Trevor deciding that he can't wear a wire to spy on Simon anymore, Simon telling Trevor that they both got callbacks for the Wonder Man movie, our favorite quotes of the episode, standing up for Cleveland, new Fandom Zone Fanmail by Jesse Jackson and Dave Proctor, the upcoming side-trip with "Doorman", and more!
