Manage episode 452159364 series 3550922
In this jam-packed episode, we plunge into the noir-soaked streets of Gotham to break down The Penguin (2024), the latest addition to the Batman universe on Max. Picking up just a week after the events of The Batman (2022), this dark and gripping series follows Oswald Cobblepot, aka The Penguin, as he claws his way to the top of Gotham’s crime world.
We’ll dive deep into Colin Farrell’s transformative portrayal of the disfigured and determined villain, exploring his transition from Falcone's right-hand man to Gotham’s kingpin-in-waiting. Discover how Cobblepot navigates the power vacuum left by Carmine Falcone’s death, facing off against ruthless rivals like Sofia Falcone and Sal Maroni.
Join us as we unpack the show’s Scarface-like vibes, brutal twists, and dark humor while exploring its rich supporting cast, including Cristin Milioti as the cunning Sofia Falcone and Clancy Brown as the imposing Sal Maroni. From themes of loyalty and betrayal to the gritty aesthetic of Gotham City, we’ll analyze what makes The Penguin a must-watch for DC fans.
We’ll also share our thoughts on the absence of Batman, the series' connections to the larger DC universe, and what this means for the future of Gotham on screen. Whether you’re a die-hard comic book fan or new to Gotham’s criminal underbelly, this episode promises in-depth analysis, bold predictions, and plenty of excitement. Don’t miss it!
