The 42cast Episode 109: Chicago TARDIS 2016 – Forty[ish] Years of the Tin Dog

April 28, 2021 by Dastari Leave a Comment

Tin DogK-9 has been delighting fans of Doctor Who for almost 45 years. With this new anniversary looming, we thought it would be a great idea to release a con panel from Chicago TARDIS 2016 about the character’s 40th anniversary. In this panel we discuss what makes K-9 so endearing. We discuss the writing, performances, audience identification and other factors. We also talk about reasons that people didn’t like K-9 and why we feel that K-9 and Company didn’t go to series. We also ask the deep questions such as “would the addition of K-9 make any series better?” and “does the Doctor have more K-9’s stashed away in the TARDIS?”

As this is a con panel, there will be no five-minute controversy this week.

This week Rob Shearman, Gary Russell, Erika Ensign, and Adrienne Provenzano join the cast.

April 22, 2021 by Dastari Leave a Comment

SensoritesIn this episode Nathan and Juliette talk about the Doctor Who serial, The Sensorites. Juliette opines on whether Susan’s weird is too weird or gives much needed development. Nathan discusses why visually oriented stories age more poorly than plot oriented ones. They both talk about whether the story has too many ideas and talk about how well the Sensorites work as a concept and how well they’re realized. Near the end they discuss how this story may have influenced Ghostbusters.

The 42cast Episode 108: All Our Hopes Are Pinned on You

April 19, 2021 by Dastari Leave a Comment

Wonder Woman 84Wonder Woman was a smash success at the box office. DC wanting to capitalize on the success of the film quickly greenlit a sequel that was soon named Wonder Woman 1984. The movie was due for release in June of 2020, but the Covid-19 pandemic pushed that release date back. Instead, Warner Media decided to make this the flagship of it’s new policy of releasing films straight to the HBO Max streaming service and theaters at the same time.

In this episode we talk about Wonder Woman 1984. We compare it to its predecessor. We discuss the new and returning characters and how they’re portrayed in the film. We talk about the writing and discuss what we think went wrong and what worked in the movie. We also talk about the importance of this movie in pop culture and how think the perception of this sequel will effect things moving forward. Finally, we do talk about the post credits scene and discuss what we want to see out of a third film.

Due to the size of our cast this week, there won’t be a five-minute controversy.

This week Sam; Bree; Eric; and newcomer, Kimi, join the cast.

The 42cast Episode 107: Deus Lex Monitōrem

April 12, 2021 by Dastari Leave a Comment

Supergirl_Season_5Supergirl was the series most effected by Crisis on Infinite Earths in the 2019-2020 season. Kara’s entire world was rewritten to fit it into the Arrowverse, and Lex Luthor had a hand in altering his own status as well. In this episode we discuss the two halves of the season, first discussing Earth-38’s swan song and then discussing the new status quo of the combined Earth Prime. We talk about the character arcs and performances with a strong focus on Lex and Lena Luthor. We also debate the series’ choices with villains and end things with our predictions of where season 6 will go.

In this week’s five-minute controversy we ask if the character of Ralph Dibny should be recast or ignored in the Arrowverse from now on.

This week Ryan; James; and newcomer, Cammie, join the cast.

The 42cast Episode 106: Mirror Finish

April 5, 2021 by Dastari Leave a Comment

Flash_Season_6Running at us from 2020, we have our review of The Flash Season 6. Sadly, this episode was delayed due to my herniated disc, but we are now able to release it so that you can hear all of our points. This week we discuss Bloodwork and Mirror Monarch and how their storylines stack against the hype. We also talk about whether the payoff to the newspaper plot was sufficient to all of the hype. We also opine on Sue Dearbon and talk about what she brings to the series and her amazing chemistry with her co-stars. We also chat about new regulars Chunk and Allegra and what they bring to the series. We also talk about how the mirror universe may be the best thing to ever happen to Iris and how the recent shakeups effect the rest of the main characters.

Disclaimer: This episode was recorded prior to the news breaking about Hartley Sawyer’s tweets and his subsequent firing from the series. Our references to Sawyer in this episode were about his performance only. We do not endorse or in any way support the content of any of the racist or misogynistic tweets that have since come to light.

In this week’s five-minute controversy we ask whether or not it’s a good idea to go back to the movie theaters while Covid-19 is still a pandemic.

This week Ryan; Eric; and the world’s foremost Flash fan, Shaun, join the cast.
