Fan X Fan Show: 'The Flash' 216 - "Trajectory"

Did you miss us? A tiny bit? OF COURSE you did!  After a two week break, thanks to wine (dark liquor) , women and song, Travis and I are back to talk comics, TV, and of course, 'The Flash'!  We get to hear about his awesome time at the Black Podcasters Meetup, and some of the great conversation he got to be part of.  I'll tell you about the 6 day vice binge that was the South by Southwest music and arts festival and how I'm too old for this (redacted), word to Danny Glover.  I saw season 2 of Marvel's 'Daredevil', and I gush over how great Jon Berthnal's Punisher is.  No spoilers though, as some of us move at different paces.  We talk early Batman v. Superman reviews, and how your love, or hate, of the 'Watchmen' film may have an effect on your star rating.  This week's episode of 'The Flash' introduces a new speedster, and tackles the question "why shouldn't we all just do drugs?"  one vial at a time.  All the science brains come together to solve the Zoom Conundrum, Iris plays a game of "waste his time 2016", and Travis refuses to see what all the girls see in Wally West.  Jessie Wells makes a life changing decision, we find out BeyoncĂ© runs more than one world, and Kanye is Kanye, no matter the universe.  All this, and more, on this week's Fan x Fan Show! (wanted to work in “speed kills” somewhere, but eh…)


Fan X Fan Show: Spring Break #2

Brownface.  Blockbusters.  Bad rappers.  This week's Fan X Fan show went every which way, the majority of the time spent covering the first 7 episodes of the DCTVU's "Legends of Tomorrow".  Last week's episode went into the motivations of each character, but this week, we go blow for blow with our time traveling supers.  We talk similarities to "Star Trek", "Star Wars", "Sliders" and "Quantum Leap", as well as where we think the show may be headed for it's 2nd half (thanks Wikipedia!)  Travis, woke than a mug this week, explains to be why new rapper Desiigner may very well be the "Dab-churian Candidate" (copyrighted) and goes over all the wrong steps taken that lead to Zoe Saldana being the titular character in the Nina Simone Biopic.  I complain about all the fun I'm going to have next week for the SXSW music festival in my very best Kane/Drake tone.  We have ANOTHER 5 star Itunes review (so damn cool), and tell you about our awesome friend that's designed a FANTASTIC t-shirt for us for Wrestlemania weekend.  And remember... If Young Metro don't trust you...


Fan X Fan Show: Spring Break #1

We're doing the very best we can to fight off speedster withdrawal!  It's something of a spring break, as we'll have a three week gap before the next new episode of 'The Flash'.  Luckily, Travis finally decided he actually does things between podcasts, so you get to hear all about our exciting weeks!  Trav finally saw 'Deadpool', so we get to talk broken ankles, CGI done right, and all the inside jokes he didn't realize were happening!  I ask him once and for all if that's an appropriate film for the Cam Jr.'s and Trav Jr.'s of the world (the answer is no) and I try to sell him on the McAvoy/Fassbender X-Films.  He talks all about the awesomeness that is Philly's Amalgam Comics, 'The Ultimates', and 29 Days of BlackCosplay!  I threw a WILD pizza party for a bunch of 9 year olds.  No joke behind that, that's really what happened.  I'll tell you about their love of cheese pizza and spitballs.  Also, the LONG AWAITED second 'South Kongress' Podcast episode drops this weekend, and I'll preview a heart to heart conversation built on vodka, tears and trap music.  After we all of that, we start our two part conversation about the surprise hit show, 'Legends of Tomorrow' by detailing the different characters and their motivations.  Flash may be on break, but one (physics shattering) monkey don't stop no show!!!
