THE FANDOM ZONE 169: "Little Fear of Lightning" Is Up!


"I’m gonna show you something, and after you see it, you’re gonna walk out of here, and you’re never gonna be afraid of big teleporting aliens ever again.  Because I’m gonna set you free.  In return, I’m gonna ask you to do me a favor.  Call it a squid pro quo."
-- Senator Joe Keene to Wade Tillman, Watchmen: "Little Fear of Lightning"

Hello again, everyone!  My co-host Jesse Jackson and I are back with another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast!  This time, we discuss "Little Fear of Lightning", the fifth episode of the HBO series Watchmen, featuring Tim Blake Nelson as Looking Glass and James Wolk as Senator Joe Keene, and introducing Paula Malcolmson as Renee!

In this episode, Jesse and I talk about things like my being on the disabled list, Damon Lindelof not assuming Watchmen will get a second season, actress Paula Malcolmson being everywhere, Jules Verne's 20,000 League Under the Sea, young Wade Tillman as a Jehovah's Witness spreading the word of God in New Jersey, Roxie manipulating young Wade in the mirrored funhouse, the origin of Looking Glass, finally getting to see the Squid in live-action, Wade's cover as a marketing researcher, Michael Imperioli's cameo, Wade being severely paranoid, the horrible moment when Wade's ex incinerates an imperfect dog clone, Wade as a Squid support group advisor, Steven Spielberg's fictional Pale Horse film, Senator Keene working with the 7th Kavalry, wondering where the 7K got the portal technology from, Wade learning that Ozymandias was behind the squid hoax and arranged for Robert Redford to become President, Adrian finally piercing the barrier of his prison, Looking Glass betraying Sister Night to Laurie, Sister Night downing the entire bottle of her grandfather's Nostalgia pills, Laurie pulling a Columbo move, our favorite quotes of the episode, news about Stargirl airing episodes on the CW one day after airing on DC Universe, not needing superheroes to have a great superhero show, and more!
