Ep. 256 - The Penguin

This week the guys discuss the HBO MAX series The Penguin from showrunner Lauren LeFranc. Following the events of Matt Reeves' The Batman (2022), Oz Cobb, aka The Penguin, makes a play to seize the reins of the crime world in Gotham. But first, the guys discuss fast food and The Great Chicken Sandwich Wars of 2020. Will eating McDonald's kill you? How do we feel about the character performances in this episode? Did Cristin Milioti steal the show? Was How I Met Your Mother ever good? Is Neil Patrick Harris a dick? Did this series have hard Sopranos energy? Did HBO steal our idea for The Meadowlands? How do you pronounce Marone and Falcone? What Batman comics does this series draw from? Was Sofia Falcone "yassified"? Do we like how Batman villains are adapted in this universe? Is HBO bussin? Did we feel bad for Penguin at any point in this series? Did Colin Farrell sound like a human penguin? What other Batman villains did we think were hinted at throughout the series? Is The Court of Owls coming to this Batman universe? Do we like that Batman didn't show up at all in this series? Did the relationship between Oz and Vic feel like a dark, twisted Batman and Robin? What is Colin Farrell's favorite movie? Why does Jake hate Back to the Future? What movies would be in our Letterboxd Top 4? Why didn't Vic fight back at the end? Does Penguin have off-the-charts scumbag luck? Would we want to see a Catwoman/Sofia Falcone team-up series called Sisterhood of the Traveling Falcones? Do we want a season 2 of The Penguin? Should this remain a stand-alone Batman universe and not connect to James Gunn's DC projects? Do we want Robin to appear in this universe? Will Mr. Freeze and Harvey Dent show up in The Batman 2? Is this the best comic book TV series ever made? What did we think of Penguin's comic accurate attire at the end of the season?
