Fan X Fan Show: 'The Flash' 222 - "Invincible"

To quote an anti-hero that wears black, talking to a hero who wears red, in another fantastic comics to film adaptation: "You're one bad day away from being me." Zoom puts this theory to the test in the penultimate episode “Invincible”, as Team Flash faces the loss of one of their own.  Barry’s visit w/ the Speed Force has him confident in the team’s ability to take down Zoom, but the other members stress the need for him to curb that enthusiasm.  Fitting that motif, a certain deceased Arrow character's doppelganger appears as Zoom's sole surviving lieutenant, leading the hordes of villains at his disposal.  Wally can't sit on the sidelines, Henry finds a new love interest, and our young scientists play a dangerous game of dress-up!  We get closer to Zoom's ultimate goal, make some progress in the Barry/ Iris love saga, and get vanity headphones that work about at well as... our Earth's vanity headphones!  All this, and we're DAYS AWAY FROM OUR NEW SUMMER SHOW AND I'M SO EXCITED!!!  Travis is... well, he's getting there.  We take the time to shout out some of our fellow Flash/ Nerd podcasters, put out a few "what if's" for the finale/next season, and thank you guys for rocking with us through 22 straight Flash Episodes!  All this and more 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: 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 - CW's "Arrow" (Flash Crossover Episode)

SPECIAL CROSSOVER EPISODE!!! Sorry, I was the kid who loved when Robin AND Batgirl showed up on the old shows... Trav and I talk this week's "Arrow", as the team up with our Flash Cast to defend people with wings against a guy who takes credit for all the dope things that happened throughout history.  We try to wrap our heads around this universe's time travel rules, I try to get Trav to understand Kendra already gave up the box to Cisco, and we both try not to blow a basket over the white Egyptian ruling class.  There's a little despot attempted rape, mineral collecting, and we turn our he-man woman hater powers toward a certain baby momma.  AND I get to explain a he-man joke Trav missed (DOUBLE HE MAN!)  All this, getting a warranty for your work gloves, keeping your girlfriend "happy", and Oliver being player/ coach of the year on this week's deluxe Fan x Fan Show!

Fan X Fan Show - CW's "The Flash" (Season 2, Episode 8)

Before we get into the greatness that was "Legends of Today", we tell you what we did yesterda.... uh. that last two weeks, as we didn't have an episode to cover.  Travis (@travlord) is enamored with the alternate WW2 outcome universe show "The Man in the High Castle", and I talk about my love affair with "Fargo".  We talk BRIEFLY on "Marvel's Jessica Jones", as we intend to really go in on i this weekend.  After some fun discussion, we get into the heart of this week's episode.  We try to rationalize a hot, ambiguously ethnic reincarnated priestess residing in Wisconsin, the guy who gave Abraham the match for the burning bush and possibly told King Arthur "let's make the table round, and how shooting folks holding what LOOKS like a gun is even bad for fictional cops.  I'm admittedly WAY behind on "Arrow", so there were welcome surprises from Ollie, Speedy, Felicity and the crew.  Also - BABY MOMMA DRAMA is on deck!  All this, and Carter "Mr. Steal yo Girl" Hall on this week's Fan x Fan show!
