THE FANDOM ZONE 338: "Doorman" Is Up!

 
"'Ding dong.' I mean, who is that? That's not me, is it? I mean, I'm much more than just a catchphrase."
-- DeMarr Davis to Earl Reed, Wonder Man -- "Doorman"

Hello again, everyone! DJ Nik and I are back for another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast! This time, we discuss "Doorman", the fourth episode of the Marvel TV miniseries Wonder Man, featuring Byron Bowers as Doorman/DeMarr Davis, Charlotte Ross as Bridget Bailey, Josh Gad as Josh Gad, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams!

In this episode, DJ Nik and I talk about things like powering through my nasal congestion, having to wait until Episode 5 to find out what happened after Episode 3, getting the explanation for the Doorman Clause, the episode being shot in black-and-white as a cautionary tale, wondering if Josh Gad's skeleton is inside DeMarr, some comics background on Doorman and the Great Lakes Avengers, Josh Gad singing "In Summer" from Frozen, Dolly Parton performing "The Johnny Carson Show" on a 1979 episode of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, Bridget Bailey and DeMarr Davis having very Stan Lee character names, Doorman's secret origin of touching Roxxon's toxic waste from a dumpster, DeMarr's big superhero moment of saving Josh Gad and a bunch of clubgoers from a fire, Josh Gad seeing DeMarr's potential and hiring him as his personal valet, Josh Gad approaching DeMarr to appear in his heist comedy Cash Grab, the homage to Doorman's costume from the comics, DeMarr reluctantly going ahead with a comedic bit on the talk show Midtown Tonight, DeMarr feeling the other side of being a celebrity, the awkward moment when Josh Gad dives through Doorman's body but doesn't come out the other side, not getting an explanation if DeMarr still has his Doorman powers or not, Simon Williams learning about the Doorman Clause designed to ban superpowered individuals from film and television productions, our favorite quotes of the episode, standing up for Cleveland, new Fandom Zone Fanmail by Jesse Jackson and Dave Proctor, finally getting back to Simon and Trevor, and more!
