30 April, 2019 gothamtvpodcastgmail-com 01:33:46 Comments Off

Gotham has reached it’s final episode and we’re here for our Gotham finale Review of “The Beginning…” Season 5 episode 12 of Gotham. A ten year time jump allows Gotham to finally show us a mustache, a man dressed like a bat and a villainous presence who can’t decide on a name but knows it begins with a J. This is our spoiler filled discussion so as always make sure you’ve watched the episode before listening to the podcast.

Gotham Finale Review of 512 “The Beginning…” Synopsis

Directed by: Rob Bailey

Written by: John Stephens

As a more portly Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor) prepares to leave Blackgate Prison after ten years, strange things begin to take place in Gotham on the eve of the return of Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) for the opening of the new Wayne Towers. Many of Gotham’s residents are waiting for Bruce to return including Selina Kyle (played by Lili Simmons), who is still disappointed she was left behind. Whispers are abound of a dark menace blighting the criminal underworld, while the G.C.P.D. are unable to trace missing US military supplies.

As the day arrives and Penguin walks free more offbeat moments ensue as the Riddler (Cory Michael Smith) is busted out of Arkham Asylum and a shaken Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue) is framed for the murder of an Arkham guard.

As Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) begins to piece together the evidence helped by an unknown figure in black, a sinister plot targeting the city of Gotham and Wayne Towers is revealed to be masterminded by Jeremiah
Valeska (Cameron Monaghan), or is that Jack, Joseph, John or Mr Jay. As Jim prepares to face the disfigured Jeremiah at ACE Chemicals a new figure emerges to be the hero that Gotham needs.

Gotham Reaches Games End. Our Gotham Finale Spoiler Free Review.

24 April, 2019 gothamtvpodcastgmail-com Comments Off

THIS IS OUR SPOILER FREE REVIEW OF THE SERIES FINALE OF GOTHAM “THE BEGINNING”.

Gotham will reach the end with it’s finale airing on Thursday the 25th of April on Fox TV. This is definitely an episode for fans of the show. While we do see the much publicised appearance of Batman in this episode, the other residents of the city get ample time on screen. This is the final time we will get to see Gotham’s version of the iconic villains and the supporting players in Batman’s world. Writer John Stephens does an admirable job in getting us up to speed quickly on what’s happened in the ten year time jump since last week’s episode and what was important about the last five seasons of the show.

The Official Trailer for the Gotham Finale

A Trip Down Memory Lane

In this final hour long episode of the show we get to visit some of the most iconic locations of Gotham. At points it’s like a trip down memory lane in Steiner Studios where the majority of the interiors for the show were filmed. Riddler is called out for using a revenge plot he used before but angrily responds “It’s a call back!” which in itself is a nice call out for the episode. This finale features John Stephens’ same twisted mix of Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins in one instant, followed by the playful 60’s Batman TV show, with a dash of Geoff John’s or Scott Snyder’s comic book Batman which have been a feature of his episodes in the past. This time it feels like we as an audience have earned this.

Our Top 3 WTF moments from every episode of Gotham Season 5

Gotham has changed a lot

Over the course of the last five years and one hundred episodes Gotham has changed a lot. Originally conceived by British producers Bruno Heller and Danny Cannon as “Law & Order : Gotham” the intention was to show how the police tried to help the city before the arrival of Batman. The original pilot was well received by critics and television platforms worldwide including a reported upfront payment from Netflix of $1 million per episode for the season one streaming rights. This lead to an initial sixteen episode order for season one. The show premiered in September 2014 to over fourteen million viewers and received a full season order extending the show to twenty two episodes.

The changes came early on in season one as the show began to pivot away from the procedural police drama with the G.C.P.D. vs the mounting mafia-like crime families. A number of major comic book characters did not return to the show including Renee Montoya and Crispus Allen, mainstays of Gotham Central which provided a lot of influence on the original concept. More and more villains were brought on throughout season two, aptly named “Rise of The Villains” and “Wrath of The Villains” to placate vocal Batman “fans” calling for the Nolan version of the character on TV. With Bruno Heller moving on after the season two finale more of Bruce’s journey towards becoming the Batman came to the forefront of the story.

Gotham Enters No Man’s Land

On May 13th 2018, four days before the season four finale aired, Gotham was belatedly renewed for a fifth and final season of ten episodes. This order was extended to twelve episodes. A lot of this season has been spent getting the city of Gotham back from the “No Man’s Land” cliffhanger from season four. But it has also spent some time on fan favourite pairing like BatCat and Nygmobblepot while introducing iconic villains such as Bane and Scarface along with their own versions of the Joker and Harley Quinn in Jerome and Ecco.

Scarface, BatCat, Ecco, Jeremiah, Bane and Nygmobblepot

A new Catwoman?

Sadly, as we mentioned on our last episode Camren Bicondova, announced that she does not appear in the final episode of the show. She was the first actor who appeared on screen in the first episode of Gotham and it’s sad that she couldn’t round out the show with the rest of the cast. The good news is new comer Lili Simmons clearly studied Bicondova’s performance as Selina Kyle. She maintains a similar poise while also delivering a truly iconic moment for the character. The finale episode is the ultimate fan letter to Gotham and the characters featuring even more comic accurate versions than we’ve seen before.

Selina Kyle’s first appearance, Camren Bicondova’s letter to fans,

Gotham Finale Verdict

When all was said and done I really enjoyed this final episode of Gotham. My only wish would have been that the one month gap that Fox had placed between episodes 10 and 11 of this season could have come between episodes 11 and 12. The nostalgia for the show feels slightly misplaced at times since it had an episode just last week. But that’s a minor complaint. I think many of us Gotham fans will watch this episode multiple times wondering what might have been.

Gotham loves shocking us and the return of Andrew Sellon this week was a huge surprise. We chat with Andrew about how Gotham Scarface all came about. This interview contains spoilers all the way up to Gotham Season 5 Episode 8 “Nothing Shocking” so please make sure you’ve watched all episodes up to and including this one.

On this week’s episode Andrew Sellon returned as Gotham Scarface after his untimely death. After our previous interview with Andrew where we thought it was the last we’d see of Mr. Arthur Penn he returned to tell us how it all came about. Here’s a few of the bits we discussed

Andrew’s past as a Ventriloquist before Gotham
The fans part in Scarface appearing in the show
This episode was the 11th episode written of Gotham. If Fox had commissioned a 12 episode season from the outset it’s very likely we never would have seen Gotham Scarface.

We hope you enjoyed our latest interview with Gotham Scarface Andrew Sellon. It was an absolute pleasure to speak to Andrew once again about his time on Gotham. He couldn’t tell us about his return to Gotham last time because of spoilers but his kindness in returning to our show to chat about how it all came about is so great.

Gotham 505 Review “Pena Dura” Synopsis

Directed by: Mark Tonderai

Written by: Iturri Sosa

A friend of Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) from his past arrives as part of a military task. Led by Eduardo Dorrance (Shane West) his goal is to provide relief to Gotham and the G.C.P.D, with the aim to take down the criminal elements of the city.

Elsewhere, Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) is concerned about Selina Kyle’s recent behaviour and tries to seek meaning and direction from both Alfred Pennyworth (Sean Pertwee) and Harvey Bullock.

Meanwhile, Ed Nygma (Cory Michael Smith) looks for answers about his involvement in the R.P.G. attack on Haven and is given a shocking revelation. This leads him to his old friend Oswald Cobblepot (Robin Lord Taylor) at City Hall, then on to the Sirens Club and Barbara Kean (Erin Richards) and finally back to the laboratory of Hugo Strange (BD Wong). As the shocking and manipulating truth is revealed slowly and painfully through face fresheners, brain surgery and then a staple gun he is sent on a final mission by Eduardo to search and destroy Jim Gordon.

Back at Wayne Manor a ghoulish family reunion is in the offering as guess who’s back to cause some mischief!
