Episode 142 of the DCAU Review Podcast is here and the Good Brothers are not alone this week. Joining the hosts is yet another Special Guest Correspondent, this time in the form of a Superman expert as Nathan MacKenzie from Superman: The Animated Podcast joins the show to review the memorable season 2 episode of Superman: The Animated Series titled “Livewire.” Hear Cal and Liam talk with Nathan, who broadcasts from the Land Down Under and does his own reviews of the Man of Steel, about the introduction of the villainous femme fatale known as Livewire. Hear them discuss a plot that features a very 90s plot around a loudmouth and former shock-jock that gains superpowers through a lightning storm. Superman remembering to grab his dishwashing gloves before leaving the apartment, some very anime-influenced visuals along with the discovery that Times Square is in Metropolis in the DCAU. Plus, a soundtrack that sets itself apart from most of the early days of the DCAU, a small but memorable voice cast, and much more on today’s all-new DCAU Review!

The month of October is nearly over and with that, it’s almost time for the Good Brothers to turn over a new leaf and change DCAU shows. However, our hosts have one last episode of Superman: The Animated Series in 2019 and it’s a fun one. This week’s episode entitled “Heavy Metal” is the direct sequel to the very first episode the boys covered this month. This week’s discussion includes a favorable plot for introducing someone capable of aiding Superman against Metallo, some memories of the introduction of the Steel character, a soundtrack with similar tones to one of the hosts’ favorites, the question of how a metal helmet can show expression and a preview for the show being covered in the month of November. All of this, plus Liam broadcasts from inside the Steel suit and Cal acts as if it’s completely normal…on today’s episode of the DCAU Review!
The Good Brothers continue their stay in Metropolis with October’s penultimate review of Superman: The Animated Series. This week’s episode entitled “Fun and Games” features the series debut of Toyman and Cal & Liam discuss his DCAU interpretation compared to the Super Friends and DC Comics continuity versions. They also talk about the outstanding visual gags in this episode including deadly Play-Doh, knockout-gas filled bubbles and the giant robot rubber ducky! The hosts also talk Bud Court’s creepy/sinister performance as the main antagonist and offer a preview of next week’s episode review.
