THE FANDOM ZONE 319: "Isle of Joy" Is Up!

 
"We put Poindexter away and it changes nothing, all right? We defend Hector Ayala and he's still murdered, probably by the same cops who are out there assaulting citizens, by the way, all right? Leroy Bradford goes away for eating a box of caramel corn. Heather's assaulted by Muse and she thinks Fisk is right. And now this asshоlе, this privileged sociopath, can get away with ripping off teachers. We're not serving justice here, you know? We're babysitting chaos. This, us, what...what we do, it feels useless."
-- Matt Murdock to Kirsten McDuffie, Daredevil: Born Again -- "Isle of Joy"

Hello again, everyone! DJ Nik and I are back for another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast! This time, we discuss "Isle of Joy", the eighth episode of Daredevil: Born Again Season 1, featuring Charlie Cox as Daredevil/Matt Murdock, Vincent D'Onofrio as The Kingpin/Wilson Fisk, Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Fisk, and the return of Wilson Bethel as Bullseye!

In this episode, DJ Nik and I talk about things like Nik's Montreal Canadiens knocking my Columbus Blue Jackets out of the NHL Playoff Wild Card hunt, some comics background on Bullseye, Bullseye using his teeth as projectiles in the comics, the episode's title coming from lyrics to the 1925 song "Manhattan", questioning whethere Heather Glenn is a good therapist, Wilson and Vanessa coming together as Matt and Heather are breaking apart, Mayor Fisk giving Vanessa a choice to kill her lover Adam or let him go, Matt's emotional breakdown impacting his work life with Kirsten McDuffie, waiting for Heather and Kirsten to stage an intervention for Matt, wondering if the show is building up to the "Shadowland" storyline, Matt talking with Bullseye in prison, wondering how Bullseye found out about the Black & White Ball, more of Matt checking out of his relationship with Heather, Daniel Blake embracing his new position as Deputy Mayor for Communications, learning that BB Urich knows that Mayor Fisk was involved in her uncle's murder, Daniel not caring about anything Sheila Rivera has to say, wondering if Daniel could become The Rose from Marvel Comics, Matt realizing that Vanessa was the one who had Foggy killed by Bullseye, Matt and Mayor Fisk changing dancing partners, wondering why Matt took a bullet for his arch-enemy, "babysitting chaos" being a great band name, our favorite quotes of the episode, new Fandom Zone Fan Mail from Aaron Case, Dave Proctor, Ken from Chicago, and Jesse Jackson, looking forward to the Season One finale, and more!
