THE FANDOM ZONE 340: "Callback" Is Up!

 
"The world is going to fall in love with the two of you. We are going to make the last movie on Earth because no one else will have the balls to make another."
-- Von Kovak to Trevor Slattery and Simon Williams, Wonder Man -- "Callback"

Hello again, everyone! DJ Nik and I are back for another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast! This time, we discuss "Callback", the sixth episode of Wonder Man, featuring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams, Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slattery, Zlatko Burić as Von Kovak, and Arian Moayed as Agent Cleary!

In this episode, DJ Nik and I talk about things like my getting a taste of springtime, Simon's emotional whiplash, the episode being transitional, watching Simon twist in the wind, how I got into Creedence Clearwater Revival, "Midnight Special" being a great choice to open Von Kovak's Wonder Man film, some background on the movie Pretty Woman, seeing the Mandarin audition tape, the Mandarin being Trevor's most important role, Trevor finding the Mandarin character, Simon overanalyzing a pair of shoes and falling into his own character flaws, Von Kovak showing off his "Wall of Inspiration", Simon freaking out by not being paired with Trevor, Simon disappointing Von Kovak by reenacting a scene from Pretty Woman, the improv comedy show Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Nik being shocked when Simon punched through Richard's face, the effective dream sequence fakeout, Trevor talking Simon down and giving him advice to be himself without letting his powers define him, Simon and Trevor thinking they both failed the final audition, Trevor getting scooped up by Damage Control mere seconds after Simon drops him off at the Talmadge, my preference for Robert Palmer over Chaka Khan, our favorite quotes of the episode, new Fandom Zone Fanmail by Jesse Jackson and Dave Proctor, next episode's revelation of a very big secret, and more!
