THE FANDOM ZONE 355: "Betrayal" Is Up!

 
"I assume you know who I am."
"The man with the mane of silver. Born from nothing. Built his empire through gut and guile. Purveyor of the finest prohibited potions. King of the five boroughs, Mr. Finbar Byrne himself-ah!"
"I see you like to talk. Think you could listen for a second?"
"Oh, I am, uh, like a Nebraskan cornfield -- All ears. I'm listening."
-- Silvermane and Megawatt, Spider-Noir: "Betrayal"

Hello again, everyone! DJ Nik and I are back for a new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast! This time, we discuss "Betrayal", the fifth episode of Spider-Noir, featuring Nicolas Cage as The Spider/Ben Reilly, Brendan Gleeson as Silvermane/"Finn" Byrne, and introducing Amy Aquino as Dr. Alethea Faber and Andrew Robinson as Ogden Faber!
