Ep. 184 - Static Shock - Grounded

After last week's exciting culmination of spoooooky season, this week brings the Good Brothers back to the DCAU and to Dakota with Static Shock and this week's episode "Grounded." Director James Tucker pens a series departure where the big bad isn't your typical Bang Baby of the week. Instead, Static finds himself face to face with a living amoeba and a subplot that has Frieda at war with the school admins about funding for the school paper. Hear the hosts discuss plot elements and visuals reminiscent of Scooby-Doo and a voice cast of 45 year-olds playing teenagers. Additionally Cal is inspired by Carmen Dillo's pun-tastic name and both hosts express some frustration with the inconsistent animation, which plot point subverted their expectations in a good way and another solid voice cast that grounds an otherwise outlier episode firmly in the DCAU. Plus. the hosts discuss which episode they'll be covering next week, and much more on this week's DCAU Review!
