TITANTALK 082: "Doom Patrol & Butt Patrol" Is Up!

 

"Why do you get to pick the codenames? Because they suck."
"When you spend days researching and plotting missions while getting paper cuts and inky fingers, you can choose the codenames, okay? Until then, you’re Robotman, Dr. Harrison is Crazy Jane, Larry is Negative Man, Vic is Cyborg, and Rouge, you’re Dogshit McGivens."
-- Robotman and Elasti-Woman, Doom Patrol: "Doom Patrol"

Hello again, Titans & Doom Patrol fans! DJ Nik and I are back with a new episode of TitanTalk: The Titans Podcast! This time, we reopen Doom Manor to discuss "Doom Patrol" & "Butt Patrol", the first two episodes of Doom Patrol Season 4, featuring Brendan Fraser as the voice of Robotman, Diane Guerrero as Crazy Jane, April Bowlby as Elasti-Woman, and the introduction of Keiko Agena as Dr. Margaret Yu!

In this episode, DJ Nik and I discuss things like Nik celebrating France over England in the World Cup, being able to buy into the most ridiculous things on Doom Patrol, still finding new layers to the Doom Patrol characters, "Doom Patrol" being the episode title for Doom Patrol Season 4 Episode 1 and Titans Season 1 Episode 4, some comics background on Codpiece, the Doom Patrol finally becoming the Doom Patrol, the Doom Patrol getting victories by winging it and sheer dumb luck, Rita trying to get Madame Rouge to leave, my love of glam rock vs. Nik's love of glam metal, the Doom Patrol TV writers using really obscure comics villains, Dr. Harrison's various diagnoses for the team's mental disorders, the rivalry between Jane and Dr. Harrison, Kay testing Jane by hiding out inside Dr. Harrison, wondering if Kay is growing up, wondering where the other personas are, Vic and Silas doing something nice for Cliff, Cliff trying to save his first touch for his grandson, the Doom Patrol traveling to 2042 Cloverton, Ohio and learning about the Asspocalypse, the Zombie Butts vs. the Demogorgons from Stranger Things, wondering how the Doom Patrol is able to see ghosts inside Doom Manor, Keeg deciding he doesn't want anything to do with Larry, waiting for Vic to realize his purpose in life to help save the world, our favorite quotes from "Doom Patrol", Keiko Agena as Lane Kim on Gilmore Girls, Vic using the aliases "Wolfman and Perez" for him and Jane, the Butts singing "Shpoopi" from The Music Man, Dr. Yu being oblivious to the chaos going on inside the Ant Farm during the Season 1 episode "Cyborg Patrol", Rita getting voted out as Doom Patrol leader and replaced by her rival Madame Rouge, that awkward moment when Cliff goes to kill Zombie Darren Jones only to have Zombie Darren Jones ask Cliff to kill him, Cliff being horrified that the first thing he touches with his new hand is Zombie Darren Jones' squished brain, Madame Rouge having regrets over her past actions, Tommy Snider returning as the Butt Hunter, Jane getting frustrated at being unable to solve Kay's puzzle, our favorite quotes from "Butt Patrol", the leaked list of Doom Patrol Season 4 episode titles being completely out of release order, and more!
