The Flash is back this week and Barry is stuck cleaning up everyone's mess. Barry is so much better than us because he's not petty and doesn't bring up the fact that Caitlyn and the rest of the team are the reason Death Storm is here. We get it. It's family. But Iris is also going through some wild shit and Barry would have been well within his right to tell them all "You created this mess, you clean it up while I go take care of my wife". But like we said. Barry is much better than us. We...

It continues to be amazing how much stuff gets packed into each episode of Moon Knight without it feeling too crammed. It's hard to believe there's only 2 episodes left. This episode starts off as a Mummy-like expedition with Steven and Layla trying to make it to Amunet's tomb before Arthur and his cult. And they're trying to do it without Marc or Khonshu. And it goes about as well as you would expect.  And then there's the end. Pulled straight from Jeff Lemire's 2016 run. Giving us just...

This is one of those episodes where we missed having Cisco. Because we go this entire episodes with Caitlyn talking about resurrecting Ronnie and no one made a Pet Sematary reference about how this was not a good idea. Barry had the right idea that this probably shouldn't be happening and Cecile's powers are never wrong. But no one wanted to listen so now we have Death Storm. What could possibly go wrong? Kriss and Dpalm record the Mailbag at the end of every month. If you want to send in...

The first episode of Halo opened up strong and while we appreciate them trying to build out the world and a larger story, we really want them to get back to what got us in the door. We're in a golden age of streaming TV shows right now and what we've learned is that you can tell a really great story without needing 22 episodes. Halo has a 9 episode first season and each episode is almost an hour. Yet it doesn't feel as if the show is using that time efficiently to tell its story. We haven't...

Episode 3 of Moon Knight picks up the action as Marc, Layla and Khonshu head to Cairo to stop Arthur and it doesn't go well. First off, we get more confirmation of the 3rd personality (Jake) as things get a bit more violent and neither Marc or Steven know who was in control. Also we see why Khonshu is kinda on the outs with the rest of the Gods. Even when he's right and they should be listening, he comes off as completely unhinged. Both Marc and Khonshu look completely out of control compared...

Marvel has gotten pretty good at getting a lot of story into a short amount of time with their Disney+ series and Moon Knight is no exception. We get our first appearance of "Mr. Knight" with Steven summoning his version of the suit. This series has been surprisingly funny and part of that has to do with how out of his depth Steven is. This series is continuing the theme of the hero needing to find peace with themselves and in this case, Steven/Marc (and possibly Jake) are literally having to...

It's hard to tell what was more reckless this episode. Frost and her mother using her as bait to lure the Black Flame or Iris knowing she has this unknown sickness going around and still trying to track down Tinya's mother. We know which one caused the bigger issue. Iris out her blinking people out of existence. It does make us think that the end of this season really will be Iris being taken to the future.  Also the WB/Discovery deal is done and so now the questions are: What now? There's a...

This episode of the Flash gives us more information on the mysterious Meta that is killing people. It's feeding on grief and we think it might be a version of Cobalt Blue. This would make sense with the changes that we saw happen in the Bart/Nora episode as well as the fact that well...everything leads back to Thawne. It would really make sense if this was Eddie Thawne as well.  One thing that is a valid criticism of this episode is that it didn't lean on the fact that the previous episode...

We're back to cover another Marvel Disney+ show. But this is a first. All the previous Marvel shows, while introducing new characters, have largely revolved around diving into existing characters. Moon Knight however, is the first series based on an entirely new character. And what's even more interesting is that it's not an origin story. What really works with this first episode is that we the audience are in the same position as Oscar Isaac's Steven Grant. We have no idea what's going on...

This episode of the Flash was a villain origin story. When Taylor destroys Allegra's life, just know, it was deserved. We appreciate that the show didn't smooth things over and make it seem like everything was okay. Nope. Allegra pulled a really terrible move (and Iris reenforced it) and so when Taylor burns down the Citizen, well...they had it coming.  For the main story, it was nice to see how Barry was dealing with the emotions of his father's birthday. This episode didn't paint him as...

The year is 2401, Our Heroes are scatted across the known universe. Picard is back on Vineyard, Seven is with the Ferries Rangers, Raffi, Chris, Elnor are in Starfleet, and Angus, Soji are Ambassadors on behalf of the Synths. But things quickly change when a time portal opens in space and the people on the other side are asking for Picard. Ep1: Star Gazer Ep2: Penance, and Ep3: Assimilation.   Like what you hear?

This episode of the Flash was pretty straight forward. The show has figured out how to deal with a more mature Barry with a very elevated power level without completely breaking the show. We also have some thoughts on how this season/series might end with the mystery around what's happening with Iris. We also talk about some of the upcoming comic events coming for DC & Marvel and the director of Moon Knight calling out the Director of Black Adam for not making the movie more...

The only live action Flash we're getting in 2022 is back. With news that The Flash movie is delayed...again, that leaves Season 8 (and potentially Season 9) of CW's The Flash the only version we're getting. It seems like the merger between Discovery & WarnerMedia is leaving a lot of things in flux right now. Normally the CW shows are all renewed by now butt so far nothing really is. There is news that Grant Gustin is locked in for a Season 9 but no announcement that the Season is actually...

Legends of Tomorrow hasn't been renewed yet for Season 8 but we hope it does. We really want to see how the introduction of Booster Gold goes on the show because there's so many fun things they could do. But even outside of that, this was a really great season that really did a great job exploring different aspects of the characters and letting them grow. Episode 12 could have served as a series finale in a way, giving the Legends a glimpse of what their lives could be if they moved on from...

So this is what happens when we don't check the release schedule for Legends of Tomorrow. Apparently while we thought we were going to be reviewing the last 2 episodes of the season, turns out those episodes haven't aired yet because the show has been on break for 2 weeks. Oops.  But out mistake is your benefit as we decided to still hop on the mic and chat. This isn't really a Mailbag episode because we don't read any emails but we do talk about some of the latest news items that popped up...

Another solid Legends of Tomorrow episode directed by one of the cast. This is Jes Macallan second time directing a Legends episode and as usual we get a good mix of the silly, over-the-top Legends hijinks with some serious moments. We're also two episodes out from the finale and while Gidget is still around it makes us wonder what's really going to happen. We're still suspicious of Thawne and think he's not really dead and is up to something. Also the announcement that Donald Faison would be...

Legends of Tomorrow continues to be one of the most progressive shows on TV. You gotta love it when they have Thawne show up and yet the thing that we spend most of our time talking about is how they're handling sexuality. This show constantly doesn't care about what others might think and that's a good thing. Not only did they have Spooner come out as asexual but the storyline with Davis is really dealing with the conflict of faith and being gay. There are a lot of shows that deal with LGBT...

The Legends head to a Reality TV show from Hell because of course they do. What's so great about this show though is how they take silly premises and make them really great ways of exploring their characters. That's probably the best contribution that Legends of Tomorrow has right now. The story is the story (and there's nothing wrong with that. It's fun). But it's the larger journey of how this show continues on, unapologetically being who it is. And it's pretty progressive as well. We also...

Legends of tomorrow is back from break and so are we. This episode gives us a look at what's been happening with the evil Android team of Legends. It also carries on the theme of "What makes one human?" as we see that Gidget (evil Gideon) is controlling the evil androids by removing the most human parts of them. This becomes true with what happens to the android version of Sara when she's reprogrammed to just be an assassin and reduce her leadership skills to keep her in line. What makes this...

Kriss, Ro and Dpalm are back to wrap up this season of Hawkeye. While it was one of the shows that might not have been on the top of the list for us before it dropped, it really turned into one of the best Disney+ series. It feels like Marvel got better and better (on top of already being really good) with each series they dropped this year. With Hawkeye, they did a really good job of filling out the characters of Clint, Kate, Yelena and even Natasha while also building up future stories with...

The Flash Armageddon event wrapped up pretty nicely. We get a conclusion to the Thawne/Allen rivalry (for now) with Barry saving Thawne's life by removing his speed. We also get a visit from Mia who seems to be sticking around for a while. Looks like we might end up with a bit of the story they were trying to do with the Green Arrow spin off.  What really works for this episode is that it centers on Barry being a hero and what that means. In this case it means deciding if they should let...

Florence Pugh is lovely. Gotta love how she plays Yelena in a way that's so disarming yet also reminds you that she could kill you at any moment. This episode of Hawkeye does well to set us up for the finale. It also does a great job of showing why it was a good idea to put Black Widow after End Game. It's very clear that the Phase 4 MCU theme is how different people deal with grief. When you look at this show, we have Clint, Yelena, Maya and even Kate all being individuals that had different...

It's a good thing we didn't get to these final two episodes until December because we can say "You sit on a throne of lies". Y'all this finale was not good. The final two episodes of Supergirl do not pay off any of the arcs they've been building on instead choosing to conveniently wrap up Nxyly and the arduous search for the totems in the first ten minutes of the finale episode so they can spend the next thirty on an overly long wedding scene that could have been a montage. And in spite of...

It's all fun and games until a Black Widow assassin shows up. Kate was starting to make a little progress getting Clint to accept her but as soon as Yelena shows up, Clint shuts everything down because it's clearly gotten way too serious.This episode revealed a lot (while still having so many questions). This really is all about a watch. And it might just be a regular watch with nothing fancy in it. Probably a retirement gift that traces back to  Laura. And Laura is clearly not just some...

Thawne proves once again that he's a master manipulator of time. He didn't just change a few things in the timeline this time, but rather decided to completely take over Barry's life and basically become him. To top it all off, he fixed a mistake from the first time he tried to stop the Flash and made sure to kill Barry as a child. Thawne really won this time and if it wasn't for Damien Darhk having a soft spot for his daughter, Barry would have been screwed. Overall this episode was really...
