THE FANDOM ZONE 349: "The Southern Cross" Is Up!

 
"You and I both know who Daredevil is. He's the man who knows exactly what happened on the Northern Star. He knows exactly what happened in my apartment, and he knows exactly who the real criminal in this courtroom is, isn't that right?"
"You are a fool."
"No, I'm not. I am Daredevil."
-- Matt Murdock and Mayor Wilson Fisk, Daredevil: Born Again -- "The Southern Cross"

Hello again, everyone! DJ Nik and I are back for another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast! This time, we discuss "The Southern Cross", the Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 finale, featuring Charlie Cox as Daredevil/Matt Murdock, Vincent D'Onofrio as The Kingpin/Wilson Fisk, Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, and Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page!

In this episode, DJ Nik and I talk about things like the Cleveland Cavaliers avoiding being swept by the Detroit Pistons, Season 2 sticking the landing, some comics background on Matt Murdock being outed as Daredevil, Matt going to prison, and Luke Cage, Season 2 having bookending episode titles, why Jessica Jones came back after confronting Mr. Charles, Matt destroying Heather's credibility on the witness stand, Mayor Fisk not being fazed by Buck's news about Daniel, Bullseye taking out the AVTF officer posing as him, the Kingpin's entrance into the courtroom accompanied by a bunch of armed AVTF officers, Matt having a plan for the Kingpin's testimony and sticking to it, the recorded testimony from Christofi Savva identifying the Kingpin as the one who ordered the sinking of the Northern Star, Governor McCaffrey entering the courtroom with Jessica Jones, the big moment when Matt publicly reveals that he's Daredevil, Matt sacrificing his secret identity to free Karen, not knowing if Buck survived his gunshot wound, BB Urich revealing that she's "Mayor Kingpin", Cole North taking out Powell and allowing the mob to enter, the Kingpin finally being unleashed, the insane corridor sequence, wondering if the Kingpin's deal included the bodies he just killed, the Kingpin being annoyed that Daredevil is offering him grace, wondering if there was a nod to Colin Farrell's Bullseye from the 2003 Daredevil movie, BB Urich taking Ben Urich's office at the New York Bulletin, Heather finally putting on the Muse mask, Matt being in the same prison with Powell and Cole North, the Kingpin realizing he's alone in his exile from the United States, our favorite quotes of the episode, new Fandom Zone Fan Mail from Aaron Case, Dave Proctor and Jesse Jackson, Marvel having another phase, our upcoming 350th episode, the various actors who've played the Punisher, and more!
