Super Tuesday Recap - Comic Book & TV Show Reviews

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. W...

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 t...

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 nothi...

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&#8217...

Kriss, Ro and Dpalm are back to discuss episode 3 of Hawkeye. We talking about the introduction of Echo (Maya) as well as the potential to bring back Fisk into the MCU. This was before the news from Feige that if Daredevil comes back to the MCU, they would not recast and would use Charlie Cox. So it’s not too far fetched to think that Vincent D’onofrio’s Fisk could make a return...

No Legends of Tomorrow this week (apparently the last episode was the mid-season finale) so it’s only The Flash this week. We get confirmation that of course it’s Thawne behind all of Barry’s problems. Thawne couldn’t match Barry face-to-face so now we see that he’s gone to his go to: Messing with Time. Outside of the Thawne reveal that we knew was coming there are ot...

We’re back with another Marvel Disney+ show. This time Hawkeye takes center stage. The first two episodes dropped on the day before Thanksgiving. So far there are several things we like about this series. First, its good to get some in-depth focus on Clint. While Black Widow only recently got a solo movie, that character got a lot of screen time in other movies. Hawkeye has always been a bit of a...

Kriss and Dpalm are back to review the latest episodes of Legends of Tomorrow and The Flash. On Legends, we see the trend continuing of the Legends being stuck in history and trying to keep a low profile but not pulling it off. The Legends are doing the thing that’s always talked about in time travel. If you go back in time and see injustices happening, do you just sit back and not do anythi...

The Flash is back for Season 8 and it’s kicking off with a 5 part event, Armageddon that will span the Arrowverse and bring some familiar faces. Like Ray, the Atom. Who it was good to see again. Honestly we’re already liking the direction the show is going. Barry being confident in his powers and really settling into that mentor role. Also Iris is running her own media company which fe...

We’re back to review the last two episodes of Legends of Tomorrow. But first, a bit of a change in how we’re handling Super Tuesday Recap episodes going forward. First, we’ll be adding the Mailbag to our weekly reviews. This makes it easier for us to stay up on big news drops (Like the Disney+ Day news that dropped Friday). We’ll also read any emails that come in that week....

Rest in peace William Dey!  And Andrea needs her behind beat.  The back and forth for the totems continues, Lex is in love, and Alex is leaning into her parenthood.  Esme becomes the center of the penultimate battle as the love totem begins to manifest itself in her body, and Kara continues to work on discovering the things about herself that the totems and the battle against Nxyly are revealing t...

Legends of Tomorrow’s 100th episode was a welcomed surprise of some of the OG Legends. It was great to see Snart, Hunter, Jax, the Professor and yes, even Carter again on the Waverider. As silly as it is, Legends of Tomorrow is such a smartly written show. Much like how Agents of SHIELD did everything with a purpose, Legends does the same thing. By centering Spooner, Astra and Gideon, we get...

This week Shanna and The Doctor are catching up on two new episodes of  Supergirl  “Hope for Tomorrow” and “Nightmare in National City”.  In “Hope for Tomorrow” Nyxly is still trying to find the totems and realizes that trying to inspire hope is for the birds ( ed. note: #relatable ) so she’ll just let Kara get the totem and force her to hand it over. Nyxl...

So…apparently we’re doing robots this season of Legends of Tomorrow. Maybe. Possibly. Who knows? Honestly, it doesn’t even matter. This show has a winning overall format and it’s sticking to it. As silly as everything is, this show knows when to throw in the serious as well as the social commentary. They don’t play around or sit on the fence about J Edgar Hoover and c...

We’re back with a new season oof Legends of Tomorrow. If it feels like season 6 just ended, it’s because it literally ended last month. And the show picks up like we never left. The Legends are stuck in the 1920’s with no Waverider or Time Bureau technology. So what do the Legends do? First they start pretending like they’re part of the circus to explain the alien invasion....

This week on  Supergirl , Nyxly is after the totem of humanity and this gauntlet is like no other because while the totem draws the humanity out of the humans around Nyxly, it also channels all that humanity  into  her. Losing their humanity turns National City into a city full of Karens and Chads with everyone displaying their absolute worst selves. Even the dream couple that Kelly places one of...

A little delayed but we’re back with a new Mailbag episode. We’re at a weird point. By now the Fall shows have usually started and we’re already reviewing them. But COVID messed all that up. Now Legends is going to be back already but Flash doesn’t start until November. It feels both too early and too late at the same time. But either way we’re here with the mailbag....

This week, we begin the search for the totems, and the first one up is the totem of courage. When Kara and Nxyly get to the totem at the same time, they end up breaking it in half and the only way to possess the full totem is to face their fears. Surprisingly, Nxyly manages to complete the gauntlet before Kara when she has the courage to be vulnerable. Seeing her father and brother in the gauntlet...

We absolutely loved this week’s episode of Supergirl but … y’all gone get these jokes. Co-written by our own Kelly Olsen ( Azie Tesfai ), “Blind Spots” is Supergirl’s  “racial reckoning” episode focused on Kelly’s fight to be seen and heard by her teammates whose focus is on giant cats and fifth dimension sized problems that create blindspots (...

We asked and Supergirl  immediately answered. On this week’s episode “Mxy in the Middle” we check back in with Lena and the search for her mother’s origins. Lena travels to Newfoundland, Canada (which is actually home to a large Irish immigrant enclave) and finds that her mom wasn’t the sweet, innocent she’d come to think she was but Lena’s mother also isn...

This week, Nia’s opened a can of worms, and luckily, her mom lets her know it’s not okay. After Nyxly (obviously) screws her over, Nia is reunited with her mom and finally faces the person who’s been holding her back … herself. Back in National City, Kara and the Super Friends are fighting gentrification. Even though he’s out of jail, Orlando can’t get Joey out...

We Are Back. This is a small away mission of The Disco Crew with HiroJa and Joseph as they review the best so far run Star Trek Series Lower Decks. We cover the first four episodes of Season Two and dive into the news that is the burgeoning Star Trek Universe..   Like what you hear?

Season 6 of Legends of Tomorrow was great. Particularly the final run of episodes. Its weird to say this about an episode where Mick becomes the father of alien-human squid babies, a giant alien mushroom protecting the earth from alien invasion, John dying and becoming a mushroom (and more ridiculousness) but this was probably the least ridiculous Legends finale we’ve seen. Part of that is b...

We’re back for another Supergirl review! This week, The Doctor and Shanna talk about Kelly Olsen’s attempt to offer wrap-around services for the Super Friends. When Kelly visits a group home occupied by some young aliens, she uncovers a larger scandal that relates back to a story Kara covered for CatCo. While Kara is interested in pursuing the story, Andrea is still pressuring her and...

It’s time for another Mailbag. This month we didn’t get any new listener emails but that’s okay since there was a ton of news to talk about. This is the time we usually see San Diego Comic-Con, D23 and other convention news. We had a bunch of much anticipated trailers from Marvel drop (Eternals and Spider-Man No Way Home). We also talk about a trailer we didn’t talk about l...
