Fan X Fan Show: Spring Break #3 (Wrestlemania Edition)

* Originally posted 4/13/16*

It's still spring break for the Fan X's, as our beloved Flash decided he needed a bit more time in the oven.  Luckily, we get to tell you about our super exciting weekend in Dallas for Wrestlemania!  We take you through our parallel trips to meet up, the journey that was the Dallas road trip, our fantastic meetup at the Kung Fu Saloon, and of course, the epic tailgate leading to the big event.  It wasn't all sweet, and Trav tells you about his often stalled journey home, I fall down in hallways and steal footballs but get away with it because I'm so gosh darn handsome, and I let you know about a very special pair of $300 sunglasses.  We also take a bit of time to talk THE AUDACITY OF A BATMAN V. SUPERMAN EXTENDED CUT, Suicide Squad re-shoots, Desiigner having a single that charted higher than any Future single, and why your feedback helps keep the show going.  All this and more on this week's Fan X Fan Show!

Fan X Fan Show: 'The Flash' 219 - "Back to Normal"

"Hey, I didn't do a whole lot this week, this should be a pretty fast show!"  Yeah... never. "Panda" is the #1 song in the country this week, and I try to explain that because kids are dumb, it's really not Desiigner's fault.  I explain my excitement for the upcoming Drake/Future tour, that has it's first stop here in Austin.  We both commit to listening to "Views from the 6" this weekend, so we can give an honest review next week.  Travis fills us on his continued love affair with "Ant-Man", and his great time at a Polica concert.  I talk about the difficulties of eating five times a day, our upcoming flagship episodes, and the homie's new comic series that just went into print!  On this week's Flash episode, we see Barry adjust back to life as a normal, the young Miss Wells understand the value in killing the bad guys, and a "flash-off" between Our titular hero and his potential running buddy (see what I did there?)!  Our villain of the week seems to grow old with anger, and boy is that Zoom one scarred supervillain!  We THINK we've figured out just who's behind that mask, to varying degrees of excitement.  Caitlyn gets to flex her acting muscles, playing both versions of herself against one another, and Earth-2 Wells keeps on being the cold SOB we know and love.  This, and a preview of our possible "Flashpoint" powers restoration scene, on this week's South Kongress Fan X Fan Show!

Fan X Fan Show: 'The Flash' 218 - "Versus Zoom"

We recorded this hours after learning the world lost Prince, one of it's most important figures of (at the very least) the last century.  Travis and I talk at length about Prince's impact on our culture, our families and ourselves.  After I shed a tear or two, we get into our weeks, and Travis continues to enjoy his new reads.  I'll tell you about the Gilani/Seemion wedding, and my first acting audition in years!  Then... oh boy.  Travis and I take turns yelling at the television as Team Flash comes up with a plan (kinda) to stop Zoom (maybe?) once and for all (we hoped kinda maybe).  Wally decides the rent is too damn high, Cisco decides the dark side is way too close, and Zoom's pops decides the chicken was too damn dry!  Some great juxtaposing, more and more insight as to why the supporting cast matters so much, and a room full of killers who can't bring themselves to kill this time.  Damn.  All this and more on this week's Fan X Fan Show!

South Kongress #3 - Anisah Ali & Relay for Life

Every week, we talk fantastic people with fantastic abilities.  We took a small break to talk about real people with fantastic drive that's used to help those in need.  Anisah Ali heads Texas State University's Relay For Life organization/ event, built to support our cancer survivors and honor those who fought the good fight.  Anisah, along with members past and present, take us through the last few years of the event, the different themes, sponsors, and supporters that have helped to build their branch into what it is today.  We find out what motivates these people to give their time, and exactly what goes into producing this overnight celebration.  We also find a bit of time to talk favorite Disney Princesses/ movies and favorite superheroes, because HOW COULD WE NOT?  This year's event is 4/8/16, and tickets can be purchased at www.relayforlife.org/txst.

South Kongress #2 - (The Marriage Episode)

What happens when you let her stress you for six years running? Wedded bliss, of course! Less than two weeks away from the most important day of their lives, Chris and Mah were nice enough to sit down with us and cover their relationship from start to finish, first date to wedding date, and everything in between. They open up about meeting, when they both knew they wanted to be exclusive, how they deal with each other's cultural differences, and how one really big step led to the one their currently headed toward. Naturally, I say wildly inappropriate things and introduce as much booze as possible into the arena. I get them to share a few of their wedding vows, the things they can't stand about each other, and of course, the reasons they can't seem to stop falling for each other time and time again. Mah drops an astounding amount of gems about making relationships last, and makes me a Rihanna fan, once and for all. Chris makes it REALLY hard for us regular guys with one of the coolest engagement stories you'll ever hear. Almost guaranteed to make you laugh, certainly geared to make you smile, this episode is for the grown and hopeful out there.

 

Fan x Fan Show: 'Supergirl' 118- "World's Finest" (Flash Crossover)

(Note:  the episode was 50% Batman v. Superman tirade, but the powers that be dropped the recording!  DAMN YOU ZACK SNYDER!) In a busy, BUSY week (Wrestlemania is upon us!) Travis was gracious enough to sit down and watch the latest Flash Crossover event, this time with the big budget DC Show 'Supergirl'.  A play on the old Batman/Superman team ups, "World's Finest" takes the Scarlet Speedster to the CBS Universe (in more ways than one) to help the Kryptonian Heroine save the day.  Trav talks about the great chemistry between the characters, some details on the differences between universes, and catches me up on the "Red Kryptonite/ Martian Manhunter" storyline that's been brewing.  You'll catch a VERY small portion of a future Batman v. Superman rant, and hear about our weekly goings on in this special episode of the Fan X Fan show!

Fan X Fan Show: 'The Flash' 217 - "Flash Back"

Time travel makes our heads hurt!  On this week's episode, Barry thinks he's found the way to move on par with Zoom and the Reverse Flash, and of course it involves mucking up time as we know it! We revisit the Season 1 episode "The Sound and the Fury" and things get out of hand way sooner than they should have!  We talk track coaches, sports science, The Michael J. Fox vehicle "The Frighteners", and really, really good looking CGI.  Barry violates the rule of leaving his phone unlocked, Wally finally does something useful, and we tell you all a bit about our upcoming weekend in Dallas on this week's Fan X Fan Show!!!
