The Penguin Episode 4 Review

Time to go back to Arkham as we discuss The Penguin Episode 4 “Cent’Anni”. We chat all about this Sofia Falcone centered episode in spoiler filled detail.

The Penguin Episode 4 “Cent’Anni” Synopsis

Episode Written by: John McCutcheon

Episode Directed By: Helen Shaver

Under the gunpoint of Nadia Maroni and her men, Oz Cobb pleads for his life, explaining that he was only working with Sofia Falcone to get access to her drug business. But Nadia doesn’t believe him and reveals to Sofia that Oz is the murderer of her brother Alberto. As Victor arrives and saves Oz, Sofia calls Dr Julian Rush to help her.

Sofia recalls the events that led to her time in Arkham State Hospital. Ten years ago after being approached by Summer Gleeson from the Gotham Gazette, Sofia realised her father, Carmine Falcone, could be behind her mothers death and six other women connected to his business. But Sofia tells the reporter she’s investigating the wrong man and leaves the meeting.

When Oz Cobb, her driver at the time, reports the meeting to Carmine, Sofia is brought before the family leader. She tries to have a conversation with her father so he can clear her mind of suspicion but Carmine sends her home with Oz.

But on the way home, the GCPD arrest Sofia for the murder of the Gotham Gazette reporter and all the other women. Due to written letters from her father and most of her leading family members, Sofia is committed to Arkham State Hospital for a six month evaluation ahead of her trial. 

Under the watchful eye of Dr Ventris and his assistant Dr. Julian Rush a brutal incarceration follows with Sofia being subjected to a violent beating by another inmate and results in her receiving daily electroshock therapy. 

After the six months her brother Alberto tells Sofia that Dr. Ventris has deemed her unfit for trial and she is to remain in Arkham State Hospital. In the present day, now free, Sofia discusses her predicament with Dr Rush, who convinces her she needs a break.

She returns to the Falcone family home and surrounded by all the heads of the family she calls them out for their part in her incarceration. She announces her plans to start a new life as she doesn’t fit into the family anymore.

Late that night, Sofia enacts her plan, using gas to suffocate all the members of her family apart from her most hated rival Johnny Viti. She holds him at gunpoint while they discuss Sofia’s next steps.

The Penguin Episode 3 Review

Join us fellow Gothamites for our podcast all about The Penguin Episode 3 “Bliss”. More focused this time on Victor but still some brilliant moments between Oz and Sofia and we chat about it all in spoiler filled detail.

The Penguin Episode 3 “Bliss” Synopsis

Episode Written by: Noelle Valdivia

Episode Directed By: Craig Zobel

Before the Riddler’s explosions, Victor was hanging out with his friends and girlfriend, Graciela, on a rooftop in Crown Point, dreaming about their future. Unbeknownst to them, everything was about to change as the election night fireworks turned to explosions flooding Crown Point, killing their families and destroying their homes. Now, Victor and Gracelia discuss getting out of Gotham and starting a new life together, but only if Oz Cobb will let Victor leave. 

Meanwhile, Sofia Falcone’s business opportunity comes through, and she takes Oz to the production warehouse for the new drug “Bliss”, a sap from a mushroom prescribed to Sofia when she was locked up in Arkham. Oz sets up a meeting with the Triads to help distribute the sample batch of the new drug, but they have to blackmail the cheating underboss of the Falcone Family, Johnny Vitti, to support their new business. Vitti tries to undermine Oz, telling Sofia he’s the one that sold her out and landed her in Arkham. But Oz pressures him further and they get their way.

With a nightclub trial arranged to showcase Bliss to the Triad leader Feng Zhao, Sofia has to reveal her traumatic past to him to seal the deal. She begins to get concerned that Oz believes he is an equal partner in her business and as he apologises for his part in Sofia’s 10 year incarceration in Arkham, Nadia Maroni and her men arrive, angry at Oz’s betrayal of the Maroni cartel and they hold the two at gunpoint.

Victor makes his decision to return to Oz’s side and arrives just in time to save his boss. As they speed away Oz tells Victor to leave Sofia behind. They are really in it now.

The Penguin Episode 2 Review

Fellow Gothamites, join us for our podcast all about The Penguin Episode 2 “Inside Man”. It’s another great episode as Oz Cobb flips, twists and changes his plans to get closer to his goals, while Sofia Falcone investigates her brothers murder.

The Penguin Episode 2 “Inside Man” Synopsis

Episode Written by: Erika L. Johnson

Episode Directed By: Craig Zobel

With Oz’s murder of Alberto Falcone pinned on Sal Maroni, Oz plans to team up with him to take control away from the Falcones. He plans a simple job with Maroni to hijack a shipment of “drops” travelling from Gotham to Robbinstown.
But nothing is as simple as it seems and the job goes partially wrong revealing to Sofia Falcone that there’s an inside man in their organisation, but the Falcone leadership want Sofia to keep out of the family business. Meanwhile, to hide his inside involvement, Oz plans to pin it on Johnny Vitti but Sofia, ignoring Luca Falcone, goes off on her own.
She pays off a drug-addled detective Wise of the GCPD to find the leak and he kidnaps Ervad, one of Maroni’s men injured in the hijacking. He brings him, still unconscious after being shot during the heist, to the Falcone Mansion, where Sofia instructs her right hand man Castillo to put him in the basement and interrogate him as soon as he wakes up.
But Sal Maroni’s wife, Nadia, is angry with the kidnapping of Ervad and forces Oz to make it right. Oz continues to enact his new plan to implicate Vitti and tasks young Victor with planting Alberto’s jewels in his car while Oz coaches Ervad to tell the Falcones of Vitti’s involvement.
When Victor fails in his task, Oz changes up his plan and kills Ervad. He plants the murder weapon on Castillo who is instantly killed by Luca Falcone.
With the blame on her right hand man, Luca again tells Sofia she should stick out of the family business for a while and spend some time away in Italy. But Sofia is not about to let old men tell her what to do. She proposes a team up with Oz to complete Alberto’s plan and take back control of the Falcone family.

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.

EXCLUSIVE Gotham Scarface Interview Andrew Sellon Part 2. Ventriloquist and Mr. Penn from Gotham

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.

Gotham Scarface
We interview actor Andrew Sellon about his return as Ventriloquist
and Scarface on Gotham Season 5

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.

Meanwhile, ignoring Jim’s warning, Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) searches for Alfred Pennyworth (Sean Pertwee) who has been missing for five days. As he searches Gotham he is pulled along a new path as he spots, then follows, a couple that resemble his dead parents. Entering a tunnel Bruce is lead to Wayne Manor, where a very much alive Jeremiah Valeska (Cameron Monaghan) sets in motion his twisted recreation of the murder of Bruce’s parents with the help of Jervis Tetch (Benedict Samuel). As Jeremiah unleashes his final spin he prepares to insert himself into Bruce’s history by murdering Jim and Leslie. At the last minute Selina comes to the rescue.

As Jeremiah flees he uses Ecco (Francesca Root-Dodson) to set off his poisonous chemicals on Gotham but while it is foiled by Jim the toxins pollute the water from the city to the mainland. Pursued by Bruce, Jeremiah enters ACE Chemicals where he battles Bruce, but as they fight he falls into one of the chemical vats, leaving him severely disfigured.

Meanwhile, as the military decide against reunification Oswald Cobblepot (Robin Lord Taylor), Ed Nygma (Cory Michael Smith), and Barbara Kean (Erin Richards) come to a truce and an new arrangement to escape the prison that is Gotham!

Gotham 506 Review “13 Stitches” Synopsis

Directed by: Ben McKenzie

Written by:  Seth Boston

Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) is pursued by Ed Nygma (Cory Michael Smith), but not as we know him, for Ed has a chip in his brain and is controlled by Eduardo Dorrance (Shane West) and his boss Theresa Walker (Jaime Murray). As Ed corners Jim some quick thinking, and a handy defibrillator, allows Jim to stop Nygma in his tracks and destroy the chip in his brain. Back at the G.C.P.D. Lucius Fox (Chris Chalk) removes the chip and extracts evidence of Eduardo and Walker’s criminal attack on Haven.

Meanwhile, to stop “team good guy” Eduardo reveals that he has Leslie Thompkins (Morena Baccarin) in his possession and threatens to kill her if Jim doesn’t trade Ed and his brain chip. As the two former allies face off, Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz), Alfred Pennyworth (Sean Pertwee), Lucius and Barbara Kean (Erin Richards), armed with evidence from Ed’s brain chip work together to broadcast the evidence to the outside world and with a little help from Nygma retake control of the G.C.P.D.

Elsewhere, Oswald Cobblepot (Robin Lord Taylor) is having a bad day and is forced into a team up with Selina Kyle (Camren Bicondova) against a new thief in town, Magpie (Sarah Schenkkan), as Oswald reveals his plan to leave Gotham.

Gordon beats Eduardo in their hand to hand battle leaving him impaled on a rebar. Jim brings Leslie back to the Precinct where Lee is activated as Walker’s plan B assassin, but some quick thinking by Jim and a handy live electrical cord saves Jim and Leslie. While Jim is celebrating saving his ex fiance’s life another former fiancee, Barbara Kean, reveals that she is pregnant with Gordon’s child.

Meanwhile when Alfred returns to his and Bruce’s spare apartment he is kidnapped by Jeremiah as part of a dark and dastardly plan to be executed at Wayne Manor.
