Has the Joker arrived in Gotham? Join us as we discuss Jerome played by Cameron Monaghan and all our thoughts on episode 16 of Gotham The Blind Fortune Teller. This episode aired on Channel 5 in the UK on the 13th of April 2015.

The arrival of Haley’s Traveling Circus to Gotham brings with it a decades old family feud and the death of the circus snake charmer Lyla. Jim Gordon and Leslie Thompkins team up to investigate the murder of the shy retiring Jerome’s mother, leading them to a cryptic message from a blind fortune teller. Bruce also pays a visit to the board of directors at Wayne Enterprises to discuss his concerns.

Join us again next week for another Joker connected chat as we discuss Episode 17 of Gotham Red Hood. We were so excited by the preview that Fox put out for this episode in February that we recorded an extended Joker Watch preview which you can listen to here. Thanks as always for listening.

With Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock on the trail of Dr Gerald Crane (Julian Sands), time is running out for him to develop a permanent cure for what he sees as a genetic flaw in the human race, FEAR. By harvesting the organs of his terrified victims Dr. Crane has created a toxin which he will give to his son Jonathan Crane (Charlie Tahan) that may have a lasting impact on the young Gotham citizen. Also in this episode we discover what happened to Fish Mooney when her escape from Gotham was interrupted by kidnappers and the G.C.P.D. finds a replacement for the recently sacked Medical Examiner in the form of Jim Gordon’s new love interest Doctor Leslie Tompkins.

This week on Gotham it was time to be very very afraid as we were introduced to the Crane family in Episode 14 of Gotham The Fearsome Doctor Crane which aired in the UK on Monday 30th March 2015.

We also introduce another Doctor from Gotham in the shape of the (former) G.C.P.D. Medical Examiner, as Philip Hernandez who plays Doctor Guerra left a very special message for our listeners. In the message he explains his scenes in the episode and provides some extra little bits that he brought to the character of Doctor Guerra. He also vows to return to exact his revenge on Ed Nygma! You can follow Philip Hernadez on Twitter and check out his website and blog for all those interested in acting and learning the profession.

In this episode of Gotham the G.C.P.D. investigate a series of murders that surround an anonymous support group for people with debilitating phobias. The perpetrator seemingly is extracting their adrenal gland for no obvious reason. As Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock investigate these crimes, Jim is released from his involvement in the investigation of Thomas and Martha Wayne’s murder by the young Bruce Wayne, seemingly frustrated at the lack of progress in the official case. All the while a romantic air falls over the G.C.P.D as Harvey finds his soft centre for the leader of the support group, Ms. Mullens, and Jim’s relationship with Leslie Thompkins evolves through an unexpected dinner date. Meanwhile at the Precinct a professional spat between the Medical Examiner, Dr. Guerra and Ed Nygma leads to the suspension of Ed from the Forensics Unit before he implicates Guerra in the collection of spare body parts from the morgue. Is Guerra Ed Nyma’s (aka The Riddler) first victim? As Jim and Harvey narrow down their list of suspects, they race to an abandoned swimming pool where Mullens is in danger as a Doctor Gerald Crane is revealed as the murderer at large. With his actions are driven by a longing to release him and his son, Jonathon Crane from their debilitating F.E.A.R. We discuss all these top five case points surrounding Episode 14 of Gotham.

Feedback

We discuss all the feedback that has come in from our listeners on everything from Welcome Back Jim Gordon to our thoughts about whether Gotham should have a time jump. Make sure to send your thoughts to [email protected]

We also give a big shout out to Victoria Cartagena (Detective Renee Montoya on Gotham) who celebrated her birthday on the 31st of March. If you haven’t had the chance you can hear our interviews with Victoria and of course her partner Detective Crispus Allen (played by Andrew Stewart-Jones) at the links below. We want to wish Victoria a great birthday and another great year on Gotham.

Interview 2 – https://gothamtvpodcast.com/gotham-tv-podcast-live-mcu-interview/

The music at the end of this weeks episode is Nouvelle Vague’s cover song of Love will Tear Us Apart (feat. Eloisia) from their self-titled album Nouvelle Vague. This song was playing in the background of the restaurant where Jim Gordon met Leslie Thompkins for what she thought was another date but turned out to be some professional consultation.

Join us again next week as we discuss Episode 15 of Gotham The Scarecrow. We’re excited to see how the beginnings of Jonathon Crane’s fear leads to his journey towards becoming the Scarecrow. Thanks as always for listening.

This week it was time to “Welcome Back, Jim Gordon” to the Gotham City Police Department as we discuss Episode 13 of Gotham which aired in the UK on Monday 23rd March 2015.

In this episode of Gotham Jim Gordon returns to the G.C.P.D. and carries on exactly where he left off before his demotion to Arkham Asylum. He starts an internal investigation among his fellow officers and detectives following a killing of a low-level and seemingly insignificant drug gang member. Oswald Cobblepott’s dreams come true, for a moment as he takes ownership of Fish’s old club; and we really get a taste of Gabe, Oswald’s right-hand man, as he acts on a favour for Jim Gordon by The Penguin. Whilst at Wayne Manor Cat has some bad news for Master Bruce.

We discuss our top five case points for Episode 13 of Gotham including the emergence of the right hand men (Butch Gilzean, Victor Zsasz and Harvey Bullock), the reshuffle of the gangster elements in Gotham, Jim Gordon’s support group, Edward Nygma and Kristine Kringle’s blossoming relationship and of course that final showdown in Fish Mooney’s club.

Feedback

As was pointed out by Detective Dillon The Electocutioner/Jack Gruber really reminds us of some versions of Hugo Strange from the comics.

HUGO STRANGE – JACK GRUBER

We also had some great twitter feedback from Channel 5 viewers, listeners and some of the actors on Gotham during our live tweet of Gotham Welcome Back Jim Gordon including Zabrena Guevara, Erin Richards, Drew Powell, J.W. Cortez and Tom Calderone.

The music at the end of this weeks episode is Hanni El Khatib‘s song Family from his album Heatseekers. This song was used in Fish Mooney’s club in Welcome Back Jim Gordon when Oswald has had a bit too much champagne.

Join us again next week as we discuss episode 14 of Gotham The Fearsome Dr. Crane. Directed by John Behring and written by John Stephens who also wrote The Baloonman and The Mask. We’re excited to see the back story of one of our favourite Batman villains. Thanks as always for listening.

In an attempt to return to the GCPD as Detective, Jim Gordon makes a deal with Commissioner Loeb to track down and apprehend Jack Gruber – aka Jack Buchinsky and now known by the press as the Electrocutioner – within twenty-four hours. Unbeknownst to Jim, Gruber has his sights fixed on revenge against Sal Maroni and tracks him down as he makes an audacious second attempt on Maroni’s life whilst he is held at the GCPD Precinct for his safety and protection. As Jim arrests Gruber, other events in Gotham begin to develop as Fish seizes her opportunity to act against Falcone for control of “The Family” with the kidnap of Liza – but Falcone must never know the real truth about Liza. With the hostage situation unfolding a deal is made that will see Falcone leave Gotham for good and Fish take over the crime empire. But other schemes come in to play as Oswald informs Falcone of the extent of Fish’s betrayal. Join us as we discuss the episode in full detail on Gotham TV Podcast.

Welcome back everyone! After 3-months off-air Gotham is back on Channel 5, which means we’re back too…and it feels good to be podcasting again about Gotham after so long!

This weeks episode of Gotham Rogues Gallery, released as a back-to-back feature episode on Channel 5 with Episode 12 of Gotham (“What the Little Bird told Him”), was written by Sue Chung and directed by Oz Scott.

Jim Gordon begins life as a prison guard at Arkham Asylum after his very public demotion by the Mayor, but trouble never seems too far away as bodies with troubling scars either side of their forehead begin to show up within Arkham. Jim calls in his former partner Harvey Bullock to help investigate the murders, which appear to have been experimented on using electro-therapy. A mass breakout from Arkham orchestrated by the culprit, an inmate by the name of Jack Gruber, sees him escape along with his most promising experiment to date. In the meantime, Fish begins to contemplate her most audacious move against the Don Falcone just as questions are raised over the loyalty of her right-hand man – Butch Gilzean. Despite everything going on in the Arkham and Gotham a new romance develops as a spark ignites between the now single Jim Gordon and the Arkham’s physician, Doctor Leslie Thompkins.

In our exclusive Sean Pertwee Gotham interview we got to chat with Sean about life at Wayne Manor as protector and butler to the most eligible young bachelor in Gotham, Bruce Wayne. Some of the other fascinating points we got to discuss in the interview included:

A tease of what’s to come in the second half of season one of Gotham including some exciting developments for Sean’s character Alfred in Episode 17.
The process of filming episodes with David Mazouz at Wayne Manor
Alfred’s experience in the wider city of Gotham and working with the wider cast including Donal Logue, Jada Pinkett-Smith and Drew Powell.
His experience as a young actor on the set of cult space horror film “Event Horizon”
How Sean uses his bodyguard training from a previous role to inform his “kick-arse” Alfred
His excitement to see another Alfred in Batman V Superman : Dawn of Justice
Of course we also asked about his favourite type of tea and finally get an answer to the question plaguing everyone’s mind since Episode 2 of Gotham “When exactly is tea-time?”

We also posed some of our listeners questions to him about his approach to playing the character of Alfred, Doctor Who and the influence of his father John Pertwee on his career.

It was an absolute pleasure getting another chance to catch up with our favourite ex-military butler and genuinely one of our favourite British actors Sean Pertwee.

With a possible joker in Episode 16 of Gotham in the US which will air on the 16th of February 2015, we bring you our Gotham Joker Watch special. We discuss our thoughts and the thoughts of our listeners to the announcement that Cameron Monaghan (Shameless US, Fringe) being cast to play the part of Jerome. It’s been strongly hinted that this character will grow up to be the Batman nemesis Joker so we talk about what that means for us and what we think it means for the show.

You can watch the teaser trailer for Episode 16 “The Blind Fortune Teller” below. There are some minor flashes of episodes we haven’t seen yet but it’s worth it for “Jerome’s” laugh.

There’s certainly a strong hint that he likes to laugh in the face of authority.

We hope you enjoyed our Gotham Joker Watch Special thanks as always for listening we’ll talk to you again soon with another episode of Gotham TV Podcast.

Gotham News

the Dollmaker mentioned in Episode 2 of #Gotham will appear on the show. Colm Feore, who played King Laufey in Thor and also appeared in Amazing Spider-man 2 is making the leap over to DC to take the role. Dollmaker, real name Dr. Francis Dulmacher, has been teased since the second episode of Gotham, in which his creepy henchmen Doug (Frank Whaley) and Patti (Lili Taylor) name him as the culprit behind the mass kidnappings of the city’s street children. We wonder if John’s theory on the Dollmaker will come true.
Comicbook.com had the news up on their site

DC Connected News

Supergirl has been cast for the upcoming CBS show as Supergirl herself, the young Kara Zor-El. We don’t know much about the show yet but the big question given that CBS are part owners in the CW channel which airs Arrow and The Flash, will Supergirl exist in the same universe as those two shows. Only time will tell. The full story is available over on IGN.com

Gotham News
⦁ Gotham has been officially renewed by Fox in the US for a second season. At the Television Critics Association (TCA) Winter event on Saturday 17th January Co-Chairman and CEO of Fox, Dana Walden, said that Fox “love the show” and they’ve told the team behind the hit show “keep doing what you’re doing”. This is great news.
⦁ Other great news revolves around RTE in Ireland who have officially confirmed that Gotham will premiere on RTÉ2 beginning Monday 26th January at 9pm. They’ve even released a brand new trailer. This should hopefully mean a wider audience is reached for the show in Ireland.

⦁ Robin Lord-Taylor fans have been asking one question regularly for months. What do previous actors who play the character think about his performance as the young Oswald Cobblepot on Gotham? Well the answer was given at the TCA’s this weekend when Danny DeVito (there to promote “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia“) was asked about his opinion about Robin Lord-Taylor. He told AccessHollywood.com “I’ve watched the show. I think he’s a very good young Penguin” ,”He’s a terrific actor,”. A ringing endorsement.
⦁ It’s also been announced that the future father of Dick Grayson, John Grayson will be played by Rob Gorrie. The circus will roll into Gotham in Episode 16 carrying with it the Flying Graysons. The episode is titled “The Blind Fortune Teller”. As Gotham takes place during the young years of Bruce Wayne, John Grayson will be a much younger character so we won’t see any appearance of Dick Grayson in the show.

DC Connected News
⦁ Former Dark Knight Rises star Tom Hardy has dropped out of his second DC movie “Suicide Squad” due to scheduling conflicts. The current movie he’s filming, “The Revenant”, has run over so he’s unable to take on the role of Rick Flag in “Suicide Squad” which starts filming in April 2014.

Thanks for listening we’ll be covering Volume 2 of Hush in our next podcast as Gotham is still on hiatus in Ireland and the UK; returning to Channel 5 for the second half of season one in March.

Constantine – Spoiler-free Preview – “The Saint of Last Resorts” Part 2

16 January, 2015 gothamtvpodcastgmail-com Comments Off

Christmas is now behind us and the New Year is rung in and as if by magic so our favourite demon-hunter and petty dabbler of the dark arts, John Constantine, returns in tonight’s culmination of the second part of “The Saint of Last Resorts” and we’ve been lucky enough to see the resolution of this two part story-arc. In the last episode, not only did we find out that John Constantine (Matt Ryan) had a weakness and it came in the form of a resilient, take-no-nonsense Nun, called Anne-Marie Flynn (Claire van der Boom), but we also left John Constantine in a very very perilous place. After being shot by Flynn and with the Invulche bearing down on him underneath the monastery. In tonight’s episode we see Constantine left vulnerable with only a single desperate move to make placing him in even greater danger. As his friends come together to save him from the evil within, the Brujería witches, already responsible for the Invulche, unleash another of their weapons to destroy John Constantine. Meanwhile Zed must also rescue herself from overbearing fatherly love, as she tries to escape from her captors who had breached the defences of Constantine’s base (Jasper’s Mill House).

Enjoy tonight’s episode. Remember that with five episodes left to air in season one that you can catch them on NBC at the new time of 8pm EST on Fridays in the USA and Canada and in the UK on Amazon Prime the day after.

Show Notes

With our friends in the USA and Canada sitting down to watch Episode Eleven of Gotham, we at Gotham TV Podcast look back at the first half of the series and discuss our thoughts about the over arching elements and connected stories so far. We also replay our interviews with Robin Lord Taylor, Ben McKenzie, Donal Logue, Danny Cannon, Sean Pertwee and Erin Richards which we recorded at New York Comic Con in October 2014. We hope you enjoy them if you haven’t heard them before.

Thanks as always for listening, while we wait for the second half of the season to air in Ireland and the UK on Channel 5 in March we’ll be discussing some more connected comics to Gotham. We hope you’ll join us and continue to send us feedback to [email protected].
