Cal & Liam are kicking off a new month with a return to a format they first introduced last year where they recap a pair of DCAU characters and pit them against one another in a simulated contest to see who they believe would come out on top in their second edition of Meta-Brawl. This edition features the "Main Man" Lobo in a battle against John Henry Irons aka Steel. The hosts talk about the comic book origins of both characters before covering their DCAU story arcs, theme music, the voice actors that brought both to life as well as DCAU tie-in comic appearances and merchandise. When all is said in done the hosts go through their final scorecards and declare one fighter their winner of the second Meta-Brawl. Who will come out victorious? Tune in and find out on this episode of the DCAU Review!

Cal & Liam take a brief detour with this bonus episode while continuing the Justice League Unlimited reviews for the month of January, wrapping up with a review of issue 38 of the tie-in comic which serves as a bit of a follow-up to last week's review. The hosts discuss a comedic love-triangle between Giganta, Flash and Linda Park written by Matt Wayne who also wrote "Flash and Substance." The hosts talk some of the homages to Archie and Betty & Veronica as well as whether or not the episode could have worked as an animated episode. Additionally, the hosts talk about the interior art, the cover and take our first supporter question on the pod. All of this and more plus a preview of next week's exciting Meta-Brawl matchup all await on this week's bonus episode of the DCAU Review!

Cal & Liam are once again back with another season three Justice League Unlimited review, this week tackling the Flash-centered episode "Flash and Substance." The hosts talk a bit about the 85th Anniversary of the Flash character in 2025, how this episode acts as a love letter to the Scarlet Speedster and his DCAU persona, why this episode has a meta commentary on gritty and light-hearted superhero stories and a ton of fun Flash lore and DCAU easter eggs. Plus a discussion on the all-star voice cast featuring several DCAU voice acting legends, music that perfectly accentuates the wackiness of the plot and why Batman understands brand recognition being important. All of this a uncharacteristic disagreement on one of the category scores, and a preview of next week's Bonus Episode coverage on this week's all new DCAU Review!

Liam and Cal are back at it again with their first review of 2025 and a return to Justice League Unlimited for the month of January. This week they continue on in Season Three of JLU with the episode "To Another Shore." On this episode, the hosts discuss the unique "embargo" that helped shape this episode into one that would alter the course of the remainder of the series, why character embargos are so confusing and what influenced the various limitations on JLU over the three seasons. The hosts also discuss an episode with a plot right out of Super Friends, the unique illustrations and whose art directly influenced the work by Bruce Timm, a meta musical moment for the first time in the DCAU and a rather distracting casting choice for one of the episode's minor characters. All of this and the usual fun, plus a look at next week's episode all await you on this week's edition of the DCAU Review!

The Good Brothers are taking their annual Christmas vacation to recharge for 2025, but in the meantime they're bringing you one last bonus episode for 2024 with a review of the Matt Reeves' Batman universe tie-in show, The Penguin. The hosts give their bird's eye (re)view of the 8-episode season, discussing Colin Ferrell's Oz Cobb character along with his incredible supporting cast. The hosts talk about the psychology of characters with sympathetic flaws and trauma but lacking in any redeeming qualities. They also discuss the twists and turns of the season, a DCAU voice-acting legend playing a major role, how this will influence the recently delayed Batman sequel and more baseless discussion by way of the Speculation Station™. All of this and much more await on the final DCAU Review of 2024!
