Occasional Randomness #55 - The Punisher: One Last Kill

On this "special presentation" of Occasioanl Randomess, Eric and Jason discuss the Disney+ Special Presentation of The Punisher: One Last Kill.  Or, as Jason put it, "How the Punisher Got His Groove Back."  What do you do when your vengeance, when your reason for going on, is over? That's what this John Bernthal written special addresses.  What does Frank Castle do now that everyone invovled in his familys' brutal murder is dead? Before he can answer that question though, he finds out that's not quite the case.  And then we have 15 minutes of the Punisher doing what he does best.  And then we try to figure out where this fits in the timeline and how it prepares us for Frank's appearance in the upcoming Spider-Man movie. Next time on the podcast, we finally get back to Farscape and start wrapping the whole series up with the first part of The Peacekeeper Wars mini-series.   Listen to our other episodes on our website -- https://occasionalrandomness.podbean.com/ [https://occasionalrandomness.podbean.com/] Subscribe to our YouTube Channel -- https://www.youtube.com/@occasionalrandomness [https://www.youtube.com/@occasionalrandomness] Follow us on X (Twitter) -- https://x.com/OccasionalRND [https://x.com/OccasionalRND] Follow us on Bluesky -- https://bsky.app/profile/occasionalrnd.bsky.social [https://bsky.app/profile/occasionalrnd.bsky.social] Follow us on Facebook -- https://www.facebook.com/occasionalrandomnesspodcast/ [https://www.facebook.com/occasionalrandomnesspodcast/]

Occasional Randomness #54 - Daredevil: Born Again S2E7-8

We wrap up season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again (episodes 7 and 8). Matt and Fisk have their final (?) confrontations, both as lawyer Matt who has shown up to defend Karen at her vigilante trial, and later as Daredevil. A main character these last 2 seasons has their shocking exit from the series. Heather's decent into becoming the next Muse continues. Bullseye gets to fulfill his desire to balance the scales and gets a new boss and a new job. And a few more cameos from the old Netflix Marvel shows pop up at the end, much to our delight. Paving the way for a Defenders reunion, hopefully, in season 3!   Next time on the podcast we'll discuss The Punisher: One Last Kill special presentation on Disney Plus.   Listen to our other episodes on our website -- https://occasionalrandomness.podbean.com/ [https://occasionalrandomness.podbean.com/] Subscribe to our YouTube Channel -- https://www.youtube.com/@occasionalrandomness [https://www.youtube.com/@occasionalrandomness] Follow us on X (Twitter) -- https://x.com/OccasionalRND [https://x.com/OccasionalRND] Follow us on Bluesky -- https://bsky.app/profile/occasionalrnd.bsky.social [https://bsky.app/profile/occasionalrnd.bsky.social] Follow us on Facebook -- https://www.facebook.com/occasionalrandomnesspodcast/ [https://www.facebook.com/occasionalrandomnesspodcast/]

Occasional Randomness #53 - Daredevil: Born Again S2E4-6

Things are heating up in New York as we move into the middle third of the second season of Daredevil: Born Again (episodes 4 - 6).  We finally find out what Bullseye's endgame is, and it comes with a steep price to pay for several of our main characters.  Matt and Karen are at odds over how to handle Fisk once and for all.  We have reappearnces of some of the characters from the old Netflix series, especially the long awaited appearance by a certain super-strong private investigator.  Yes, Jessica Jones finally shows up to work with Daredevil -- and we have lots of questions (and some answers) as to what it seems she's been up to since we last saw her. And if that wasn't enough, Daredevil and Fisk finally square off with each other!

Occasional Randomness #52 - Daredevil: Born Again S2E1-3

We're back in Hell's Kitchen, well more accurately New York City, as we start our discussion of Daredevil: Born Again season 2, episodes 1 - 3.  Spoiler Alert: We are loving it so far.  Which really isn't a spoiler if you've listened to us before.  We absolutely love both the Netflix and Disney Daredevil seasons.  Season 2 jumps right back into the thick of things, with the resistance to Mayor Kingpin, and keeps you glued to each scene. And we finally have a comics accurate MCU TV costume for ol' horn-head. It's a game of cat-and-mouse as DD and team try to expose Fisk's operations while trying to stay out of the clutches of the AVTF.

Occasional Randomness #51 - We Hate Cliffhangers (Farscape S4E22: Bad Timing)

To quote another famous science fiction ending - "This is the end, but the moment has been prepared for." Eric and Jason discuss the series finale of Farscape - Season 4: Bad Timing. Having seen this when it originally aired, Eric has been waiting five years - since the start of this podcast - to see how Jason would react to that ending... and yeah, it was worth the wait. While we eventually got the closure we deserved 18 months later with The Peacekeeper Wars, the original 2003 cliffhanger left fans reeling for a long time. We wrap up this episode by discussing our Best and Worst episodes of Season 4. NOTE: We are taking a brief break from the Uncharted Territories! Next time, we're heading to New York City for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2. Stay tuned - we'll be back for the Peacekeeper Wars soon!
