I really think so!<\/p><\/div>This ep, we are joined by JT from Saskatoon and the ever vocal Thomas Revor to discuss the DCAU Apocrypha: the lost books of the DCAU bible (Static Shock, Zeta Project, and Teen Titans). \u00a0These shows are NOT in continuity.  We even have Tara Strong&#8217;s own word for it.  (Thanks, Blanchard.  You get a cookie this week.)<\/p>\n<p>An apocrypha is a collection of stories that has been tossed aside from a main canon for a variety of reasons.  The shows we talk about tonight are jettisoned from the DCAU continuity not just because we may feel that they&#8217;re inferior, but also because they have deviated stylistically and creatively from the main canon.  Zeta started out as a spin-off of a DCAU property but found its strength in being its own thing, whereas Static Shock&#8217;s only claim to DCAU connectivity lies in a few desperate crossover attempts as its popularity waned.  Teen Titans, however, has a restraining order keeping it from going anywhere near the DCAU.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Show Topics:<\/strong><br \/>\nWhat do the Gordanians have to do with the price of tea in China?<br \/>\nShaq, the Backstreet Boys, and the Hoop Squad<br \/>\nOh no!
