PANTHEON EPISODE ALERT! Even though it's been a short run, THIS IS the episode of 'Preacher' you go and show your friends not familiar with the material. In "Sundowner", Jesse's arrogance (and maybe guilt?) reaches new heights, Cassidy struggles w/ the "homies over heauxs" conundrum (a phrase, not an indictment), and Eugene's newfound friendships help him give him some clarity in a world quickly falling apart. Angels fighting vampires fighting martial artists? Check. Piles of bodies filling hotel rooms? Check. People quite literally going to Hell? Check. Skinny guys doing laundry in their underpants? DOUBLE CHECK. The war between Heaven and Hell seems to have some very clear lines, and when those are crossed? Well, we get a TV show!!! I tell you about the audio that'll NEVER see the light of day, Travis tells us about the time he was STABBED FOR WEARING JEANS TO A BASKETBALL GAME, and I tell you how a 3 hours cut of 'Batman V. Superman' was just an excuse for more bathroom breaks on this week's Fan X Fan Show!

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' 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!!!

Fan X Fan Show: 'The Flash' 215 - "King Shark"
First off - I CALLED IT! I told you who Zoom was, suck it America!!! In all seriousness, our heroes recover from the Earth-2 Fallout, dealing with death and loss in their own ways. We finally get some progression in the budding Barry/Wally Rivalry, Caitlyn gets frosty, and Arrow's John Diggle shows up with his wife to give wise Black Man advice. Also, lots and lots of "Jaws" references, and we find out there won't be another FLASH 'Fan X Fan' for a month! We preview a busy week in wrestling for Trav's 'East Coast Cast' and explain to you guys again why your reviews are so valuable. All this and more of this week's Fan X Fan Show!!!

Fan X Fan Show: 'The Flash' 211 - "The Reverse Flash Returns"
Reverse Flash is back! From the future! Again! For another ti... you get the picture. We get to live the genesis of Thawne discovering the present day Flash as Barry deals with his own time issues, most notably Patty's last few days in Central City. She's not the only one on borrowed time, as Francine's McGregor's gets closer to terminal status. Cisco has stunner shades that help him to control his powers, but at what cost? And we get to see what happens when you go visit your grandparents over the summer and have a thing or two to show your schoolyard bully when you get home. Oh, and some guy named Hunter Zolomon appears. We talk "Legends of Tomorrow", Superman's cleaning bill, and why if you include the homies in your lie, TELL THE HOMIES RIGHT AWAY! All this and more on this week's Fan x Fan!

Fan X Fan Show - CW's "The Flash" (Season 2, Episode 10)
BACK LIKE WE NEVER LEFT! In our first new episode of the year, "The Flash" is in for a few changes. Relationships change, dynamics change, and we face maybe the most twisted villain so far! We pretend to know actual science as we debate the credibility of "The Turtle's" power. Turtle Power. T-U-R-T-L-E POWER! Couldn't fight it, sorry. I may have convinced Trav to use his status as the "Prominent Black (Beige) Voice in Pro Wrestling" to take part in a cool event, and hopefully he helps us get a bunch of money for just running our mouths. I'll tell you how time travel is stupid outside of a few instances, and how even if your mother is a crackhead that ruins your family, it's still your father's fault. All this and a few sappy ass quotes on this week's Fan X Fan! And wait - REVERSE FLASH BYKE?!?!?!?

We Got a Batman Beyond Animated Short in 2014??? THANK YOU BASED GOD!
Commemorating Batman's 75th Anniversary, Darwyn Cooke created a stand alone trailer for "Batman - Beyond" with Kevin Conroy reprising his role as the cantankerous OG Batman, with Will Friedle playing the Terry McGinnis, the young thundercat Bat with the high tech suit. Artist skins galore.
