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!

Have you ever wanted to hear the Good Brothers discuss the NBA career accomplishments of Shaquille O’Neal? Well, you are in luck because this week’s episode reviews the Season 2 Static Shock episode “Static Shaq” where “Big Aristotle” makes his DCAU debut. The hosts talk about grading seasons 1 and 2 on a curve, the animation looking a little bit like a Robert Smigel cartoon, similarities to the Scooby-Doo/Globetrotters crossover and other Hanna-Barbera toons, and second-guessing if Shaq was actually the one to voice himself in this episode. Cal also doubles down on his issues with the soundtrack and the hosts discuss how they might have pitched a Shaq appearance if they had been in charge in 2002.
