Craig, James & Alan hop aboard the Doom Bus and drive straight into The Fog for a stripped-back, chuckle-filled appraisal of episodes 4 and 5 of Doom Patrol's deliriously delightful third season. Alongside the zombie/were-butt infused hilarity and shameless stanning of the show's cast, there's heaps of geektacular theorising about the season's possible endgame, analysis of some of the zanier symbolism and textual references, and a deep dive into some of the historical specifics of Dada, as projected by the always impeccable Doom Patrol writers' room through the prism of Grant Morrison to blaze brilliantly in our collective subconscious. Let's get flagellated!
