“He catches this kid Victor and basically turns him into his Renfield” - Steve, on Victor Aguilar getting involved with Oz

With Cristin Milioti playing Sofia Falcone, a.k.a. Hangman, is this like a Laurie Metcalf in Scream 2 situation here? How funny is it watching The Penguin totally house a Slush Puppy on-camera?

G Goldhar

The super drug is fuckin Venom isn't it, and that kids gonna take a shot of it and rip a guy in half and Penguins gonna be like HO-LEE SHIT

Kyle N.

One ep in and I'm hooked. This series is gonna rock!

TOFTS has been the interesting WHM exercise that, for our part, requires "appointment viewing." With that in mind, um...I've watched The Batman. But I WILL watch Penguin soon. Maybe even X-Men 97, if I can still get a partial credit.

Dominic Kovell

I thought X-Men '97 was kind of great, but there might be a nostalgia factor for me. It'd be interesting to hear from someone who wasn't familiar with the original series. So either way, check it out when you can.

Bold prediction! But it would make for a perfect moment for Oz to have another disgusted freak-out, "Ah, whaddya showin' me heeeeeyah?" - Andrew

Jan

I’m impressed by this sopranos wanna be and it’s great but it should be isolated from batman completely Just 5 seasons of good old Oz, doing shit

Watch_N_Rewatch

Steve's enthusiasm for forced perspective shot is what we need more of in this world! Haha great EP guys, I'll be back next week 😎

Moe Tilden

Steve, I'm sorry, but you're wrong. Cristin Milioti is FANTASTIC in this role. Don't hate.

Jason

So, we know this version of the Penguin, old Oz Cobb, was 1000% wheezing the juice at some point, right?

Ray

I haven't seen the Batman movie because some movies don't need to be 3 hours. Will I be lost?

Matthew Lloyd

Also remember in the long halloween Sofia literally crushes the Riddlers head between her hands. But Milloti is still great in the role.

Steve Lyon

Eric pushing back on Steve’s comic book criticism, only for Steve to snap and bring up Boba Friend’s helmet was great

Felipe Hallenbeck

Not really. It adds a little extra flavor if you have seen it, but you'll be able to understand what's going on just fine if you didn't watch it. The episode will get you up to speed.

I'd Rather Have No Name

Huge shout out to the score too. The violin stings in the restaurant and the end were spot on

Adam Lewis

Due to some eye problems, I have become sufficiently handy with eyedrops to administer them during a bumpy night flight and a connoisseur of the various stings of dilating, anti-inflammatory, etc., eyedrops. It's not really much of a party trick.

Eren Keskin

Maroni and Sophia were lovers in the comics. So he definitely loves to get his italian meatballs crushed.

Tim O'

Too Oz for This Shit 🐧

Lono's Oboe

Great episode of Penguin, looks like a solid show. I was a big fan of Sugar so I am enjoying Farrell my TV. Really love the commentary as always. Not to joke jack, but "Martha Wayne" is a really good Batman universe name for marrywanna

We Hate Movies

Sugar, totally under-seen and underrated show! - Andrew

Paul

“There’s no cosmic shit in this show, sweetheart.”

MikeyMiniMoto

The name before Ellis Island was Osvaldo Cobretti.

Lono's Oboe

I had some additional thoughts and figured I would share. While Sofia was eating, it occured to me that she may have been more of the monster Steve is talking about before she went to Arkham. I like the detail of her gorging on food because she was away from the good life/lost her inhibitions. But it could also mean she was used eating for someone with more mass before being locked up. As for the venom, they could go the road of using that to bulk her out to match the comic. Really hope they don't aim for that comic book parity. I like her as is. My money is on Joker drugs. Because he is in Arkham and sadly it's always the Joker. (Venom might also be a bit too comic booky)

Matt

The first 5 minutes tell you everything you need to know through some spoken dialogue. You will be 100% fine.

Massey and Graham

This just in from the IMDB tribune: “Colin Farrell says he wore a Penguin penis as part of his Penguin costume "It's detachable, it's Velcro. It's got a beak at the end of it.' So I had a penguin penis"

Matthew Kennedy

I always remember Penguin being called that name behind his back. Batman Returns was the first time I remember him interacting with the title.

Mark D Myers

This ridder talk at the beginning reminds me of that suicide squad comic were the league of shadows were very Isis coded.

Zora McBride

Woo! Just watched this with my girlfriend. Absolute masterpiece, like a continuation of The Batman--equally excellent writing, pacing, characterization. We can't wait to watch the new one tonight!

Joshua Pedroza

My favorite line is when the Riddler follower asks him to scan the QR code and Oz is like: "fuck outta here" Love that they really hone in that Riddler was just a 4chan loser, albeit a dangerous one

Billie Jackson

Richard Reid the shoe bomber was so completely ineffectual that he only succeeded in burning his own genitals off, which may be part of the reason no one remembers him. Definitely no Zodiac or Kasczynski.
