Ep. 257 - Static Shock - Pop's Girlfriend

from The DCAU Review: A DC Comics Animation Podcast · host The DCAU Review

The Good Brothers wind down another stay in Dakota with a review of Season Two's episode "Pop's Girlfriend" which sees a familiar sitcom-style trope of Virgil's Dad Robert venturing out into the dating pool, only to discover that things have a way of being complicated when it comes to your kids being accepting of the idea. The host discuss the subplot of racial profiling and whether they feel like it's done in a way that's as effective as some of the other real-world topics discussed on other episodes of Static Shock. Cal & Liam also talk about a brand new animation studio that arrives on the scene with mixed results, major plot holes involving two of the episodes' antagonists, and more outstanding voice acting from two of our series regulars and much more. Plus they preview next week's special Elseworlds episode which arrives just in time to celebrate a certain milestone for the Man of Steel. All of this awaits you on this week's all new DCAU Review!
