"We didn't choose this life, we're just living it."
-- Number Five, The Umbrella Academy: "The Day That Was"

Hello again, everyone!  My co-host Jesse Jackson and I are back with another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast!  This time, we review Season One of the Netflix superhero drama The Umbrella Academy from 2019, featuring a discussion of the TV show's main characters, the great musical soundtrack, the original Dark Horse Comics series by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá, and more!

In this episode, Jesse and I talk about things like Jesse's wife finally getting him to start watching The Umbrella Academy, how I got into the Dark Horse Comics series The Umbrella Academy, our mutual love of Moon Knight, Luther's upper body looking like an ape, Diego being a Batman Wannabe, Allison and Luther's attraction toward one another despite being adopted siblings, Klaus self-medicating because he sees dead people, Number Five being timey-wimey, Ben as Klaus' Jiminy Cricket, Vanya being revealed as the most powerful member of the family, Sir Reginald Hargreeves being the Worst Father Ever, Pogo as the team's Alfred Pennyworth, Hazel and Cha-cha as a Quantum Leap version of the Men in Black, Leonard Peabody as the Mastermind to Vanya's Dark Phoenix, the Umbrella Academy causing the world-ending apocalypse, some of Season One's greatest song choices, my tease of The Umbrella Academy Season 2, and more!
