549: Oz and Agatha

It's been a few months since a pair streaming series based on secondary characters from Marvel's WandaVision (2021), and DC's The Batman (2022) debuted. Expectations, and the level of excitement, was low for both of these offerings. Now that Agatha all Along and The Penguin have wrapped the Joe's go back and review the two series as a whole. Agatha, with an eccentric ensemble cast, followed the Witch's Road, on a surprisingly entertaining journey, which proved alternately humorous, and quite dark. While over in the seedy, and still water soaked, underbelly of Gotham City, Oswald Cobb (played by an unrecognizable Colin Farrell) gave a brutal new dimension to an 80+ year-old Batman villain. MAX's The Penguin is a surprise hit and on the top of the year's best list for at least two of the Joe's. And there's also the usual Random Topics, and a round of What's in the Box. Thanks for listening!
