The Good Brothers are wrapping up the month of June and their latest stay in Dakota with a monumental crossover episode of Static Shock that not only features the Man of Steel but also provides a direct sequel to an episode of Superman: The Animated Series with this week's episode entitled "Toys In The Hood." The hosts discuss the oddity of this being one of two episodes of Static not featured on the HBO Max streaming service, the difference in plot choices between this and prior crossover episodes, Toyman's "Insane Clown Posse" and an unnerving character design choice for the Last Son of Krypton. They also discuss one voice actor pulling double duty, a quizzical choice for Superman's theme music and the choice to Deus Ex Machina Static's powers to fit the need to have him be the episode's ultimate hero. All of this, a preview of next week's episode and much more await you on this week's DCAU Review!

Despite some slight audio issues with the recording, the Good Brothers are back for their third week of Static Shock reviews, with this week's discussion of the Season One episode "Tantrum." The hosts discuss a plot that deals heavily with Virgil coping with the feelings that come from losing a loved one and how running away from those feelings can often times cause long term mental health effects. Tied into the plot however as the hosts discuss, is a rather outdated stereotype that leaves the plot feeling a bit empty. Also discussed is why so many of Static's rogues use purple in their color palette, how the music feels straight out of 1996 Pixar at times and a show case of why Phil Lamarr is one of the best voice actors to ever step in front of a live microphone. All of this and a sneak preview for next week's much anticipated/demanded review to wrap up June and much more on this episode of the DCAU Review!

The Good Brothers are back and they're feeling electric to start the month of June as they return to covering more of Static Shock for its' entirety. The boys kick off the month with a Double Feature as they review both "The New Kid" and "Junior" which are episodes that delve a little more into the overarching baddie Edwin Alva's nefarious schemes in season one of the show. Both episodes surprise the hosts with plots dealing with insecurities and parental relationships, music that takes a back seat for better or worse, comically mean dad dialogue and voice casts that include one DCAU veteran, another recognizable voice, and one very obvious Michael Douglas impression. All of this and much more on this week's all-new DCAU Review!
