A salute to International Women’s Day -2021. The women of DC Daily you are missed…
Thanks ladies for all that you do -keeping us in check and striving to make not only a difference, but the world a better place….
Keeping that spirit of hope and determination was just a hop over to DC Universe. There was a time … a time when we could click an app and be transported to a unique universe. It is this special edition that we salute a dedicated group of amazing individuals that were brought together a few years ago to provide us with everything DC. Literally Daily as in DC.
It was part of the DC Universe streaming service…
this edition is a salute to the women of DC Daily.
Originally aired 2019…
The March 8th episode which can be streamed at any time was an all “girls” show. sending the men packing for a night of poker , beer and chips… and comic books of course. While the ladies of DC Daily got down to some serious discussions regarding Female Furies issue 2.
Taking place on planet. Where the likes of Granny Goodness collides with Barda and rest of the furies all the being mistreated and manhandled. in what is right inline with what is happening here in real life addressing the me-to movement. Some are being told to suck it up…or it’s your fault for what happened .
Well let’s say right now-it is never anyone’s fault! Especially when they have been abused either mentally or physically or both. or even being humiliated sexually. Forced or pressured to either get ahead- say a promotion or position or even keep the position you have. You base it on merit- skills and not the size or shape of person or sex. Do they have nice curves…etc.
Now this episode also includes a special performance of I Saw a Ghost by The Tenth- featuring Harley Quinn Smith and Taylor Blackwell — this band rocks and generally plays punk-pop bubblegum music — they just released an digital album — Dunes-which is available on I-Tunes.
My hats off ladies- you are heroes for discussing this series and issue . Your urging for all to read Female Furies. male and female. And done in a very candid way. I have a great respect for all of you on DC Daily and the women that made up this particular show-they are as follows-
Clarke Wolfe( host for the nights discussion-author/actress/film critic).
Along with
Whitney Moore
(actor,producer,voice actor Star Girl-Young Justice-Outsiders season 3 DC Universe 2019)
Markeia McCarty
(Nerdiest/Improviser/Journalist)
Host-Windows
and
Amy Dallen(Future Girl/Shield of Tomorrow,Geek n Sundry).
Each and everyone of these ladies has had an amazing career and they are only just getting started. If you think about their youth and personalities plus add in the vibrance they exude. Wow! They give the show a charm and are a welcomed part of each and every episode.
Above-most of the cast as they dressed up for Halloween episode- including top left — Clarke Wolfe(Batgirl), John Barrowman(Wonder Woman-75),John Kourounis(as John?), Sam Humphries(Harley Quinn — “Where’s my puddin?”)-Middle- Markeia McCarty(Wonder Woman-Movie version), Whitney Moore(Swamp Thing),Front Row- Tiffany Smith(Death?), Skull ( as Skull), Samm Levine( The Batman).

What just is DC Daily you ask. What on earth do these talented people do. Well I will just say the each and every week day or is it that’s -Monday thru Friday for those who can’t get enough DC Comics news. Believe me you there is a slew happening each and every day from weekly comic book releases to star casting for new TV/Film projects especially right here on DC Universe . Where else can you find live action versions of the Teen Titans, Doom Patrol and the long awaited 3rd season of Young Justice. And if that is not enough well each and every Friday there is something new being added for your reading and viewing pleasure.
*** coming soon **** now on HBOMAX-Swamp Thing series, Star Girl(which means the golden age JSA), Esai Morales just cast as Deathstroke for the 2nd season of Titans.
Now March is bringing some incredible programming and comics the DC Universe — keeping in step International Women’s Month we have -
Doom Patrol — overwhelmed by the entire cast in this series and one that will literally blow your mind when it comes to comic books and TV done right- it concerns a group of individuals who by all rights should have perished, or been abandoned by society not unlike what these people may have been doing or neglecting their friends, family, co-workers or fans- even maybe the world. So caught up in their own misguided lives. The each of them had some tragic accident that brought them to the “Chief” ( Timothy Dalton). He gave each of them a place to stay and with the hope that they each would attain a sense of purpose. A second chance to learn responsibility for their actions and become a family. All sounds quite normal unless one is robot with a human brain, a “negative” man, a very elastic individual able to stretch their body/parts and another has 64 personalities along with 64 super powers. Oh and throw in a cyborg superhero who is just coming into his own…well you get picture. Not your normal everyday next door family…all this and a narrator who turns out to be one nuty out of this world villain? Their standard mode of transportation- a school bus. Ouch!! This is a live action format with some of the craziest scenarios — special effects with plenty of action. Laden with a quirky sense of humor.. my vote is for the donkey.I think this years’ best supporting for an Emmy. You’ll just have to go with me on that or tune in… which I highly recommend.
Remember DC Universe has a comic reader as part of its service/app there is lost of Doom Patrol and many other titles.
Cast — Diane Guerrero-Crazy Jane, April Bowlby-Elastic Girl, Brendan Fraser-voice Robot Man, Matt Boomer-voice of Negative man, Jovian Wade-Cyborg and Alan Tudyk-Mr Nobody(not pictured) & Timothy Dalton-Chief
Premiered February 15th and new episodes are available to stream every Friday thru run of first season.
