TITANTALK 055: "Finger Patrol" Is Up!


"Sorry to disturb your night terror."
"It wasn't a night terror."
"Spooky wet dream, then.  Whatever."
-- Cliff Steele and Vic Stone, Doom Patrol: "Finger Patrol"

Hello again, Doom Patrol fans!  My co-host DJ Nik and I are back for a brand-new episode of TitanTalk: The Titans Podcast!  This time, we discuss "Finger Patrol", the fifth episode from Doom Patrol Season 2, featuring Karen Obilom as Roni Evers, John Getz as Paul Trainor, the return of Phil Morris as Silas Stone, and the introduction of Irene Ziegler as Micki Harris!
