Ep. 137 – Static Shock – Frozen Out

Happy Holidays from the DCAU Review! We are celebrating this week with our latest holiday-offering from the DCAU by sticking with our month of Static Shock and reviewing the season two episode “Frozen Out” which keeps with the Static tradition of dealing with difficult, real-world issues while sprinkling in some fun and seasonal celebration. The Good Brothers discuss why this tends to be the forgotten DCAU Christmas episode, where the episode succeeds and where it falls a little bit short, why two animation studios might be better than one, and a hilarious break down of the non-specific, rights-free holiday songs used for the soundtrack. Plus, Bernie Sanders’ uncredited cameo, vocal performances from DC Animated veterans and the hosts preview next week’s final episode of 2020 while taking a minute to thank them for making this year their most successful to date. All of this and much more on today’s all-new DCAU Review!

Bonus Ep. 15 – Watchalong: Christmas with The Joker

Bonus Episode 15 is here and the Good Brothers decided to bring something new to the DCAU Review library! This week the hosts try their hands at a good old-fashioned commentary track to go along with the Batman: The Animated Series episode “Christmas with the Joker.” Rather than give a longer form review with a scorecard, Cal and Liam allow you to experience the action of the episode as if you were watching it with them with their own personal commentary while watching the Clown Prince of Crime’s DCAU debut in this holiday classic. Hear thoughts on animation and music in real time mixed with personal anecdotes and memories about this seasonal favorite.

So grab your hot cocoa, fire up the DC Universe app, your BluRay/DVD or maybe even your old VHS copy and enjoy this nostalgia trip in a brand new way, just be sure to wait until Liam counts you down to press play!

Ep. 136 – Static Shock – Aftershock & They’re Playing My Song

Episode 136 of the DCAU Review is here and the Good Brothers are wrapping up 2020 with a trip to Dakota to spend the Holidays with Static Shock. This week, they’re pulling overtime with a double feature of “Aftershock” and “They’re Playing My Song” from the first season. The hosts break down both episodes and discuss why it’s hard to appreciate the animation and visuals from this season, one of the episodes feeling like they heavily borrowed from another series’ method of storytelling, more divisive episode music, a preview for next week’s all-new episode and much more on this week’s episode!

Ep. 135 – BTAS – Off Balance w/ Kevin Altieri

Breaking from the norm (because what even IS “normal” in 2020 am I right?), the Good Brothers are extending their stay in Gotham City by an extra week, and joining them to provide insight along the way is the man that directed this week’s episode (amongst many other Batman: The Animated Series classics), this week’s DCAU Review Special Correspondent, Mr. Kevin Altieri!

Hear the hosts review “Off Balance” which is an episode that plays as a prequel to the episode the “Demon’s Quest” by featuring the first appearance of Ra’s Al Ghul in the DCAU. Listen to some amazing behind-the-scenes stories from Kevin as he talks about who he originally wanted to cast for the voice of Ra’s Al Ghul,  a fascinating story about what Helen Slater did to keep her voice warm in between takes, why he believes Talia is Batman’s one true love and the correct way to pronounce Ra’s Al Ghul! Plus hear what projects Kevin is currently working on, which cinematic legend he payed homage to in this episode, how he started in the animation industry, what his role as director was for this and other episodes of Batman: The Animated Series and he even has a complete scorecard of his own for this week’s episode! Tune in for this and much more on this week’s al l new DCAU Review!
