Bulletproof w/ PHIL MORRIS!

About this episode

Phil Morris joins the hosts to discuss his final episode of season 8 and the themes of humanity and relevance in storytelling.

The benevolent spaceman himself, Phil Morris, joins us again to chat about his final episode of season 8. We get into the Martian's humanity, the missed buddy cop spinoff opportunity, and how an episode that came out 17 years ago remains relevant today. In the episode, powerless John Jones is a detective for Metropolis PD. When he goes down in the line of duty, Clark goes undercover as a cop and finds out the dark truth about the department. Join us as we unpack the season wrap on the wise, compassionate Martian Manhunter, who also played a lawyer in a popular sitcom. ... ❤️ Find support and have someone with you in therapy—sign up and get 10% off at https://betterhelp.com/TALKVILLE 🔵 Buy two months of BlueChew Gold and get the third month free with promo code TALKVILLE at https://bluechew.com. __________________________________________________ 💖 Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/talkville⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🌠 Special 100th Episode poster: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/100-poster⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ☎️ Hotline: (323) 425-4396 👕 New Merch: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://shop.talkvillepodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠…
