Ep 356: The Penguin S1 Recap and Review

In this episode of The Major Issues Podcast, we dive into the latest addition to the Batman universe, The Penguin—a gritty spinoff from Matt Reeves' The Batman film. Set in the dark and twisted Gotham City, this series takes us deeper into the rise of Oz Cobb (Colin Farrell) as he claws his way to power in the criminal underworld. We break down the show’s strengths, from its razor-sharp character development to its moody, crime-filled atmosphere, and explore how it expands on the world established in The Batman. How does The Penguin stack up as a standalone story? Does Farrell’s performance live up to expectations? And how does the series compare to other recent superhero spinoffs? Tune in as we discuss all of this, plus the themes of power, corruption, and identity that run through the show. Whether you're a fan of Reeves' Batman or just love a good Gotham tale, this episode is packed with insights and analysis you won’t want to miss!
