episode 168 I'm your host Steve Megatron Phillips
and joining me this week is dear John Mike hello
Hello as you find people are hearing this I'm
probably on a plane at this moment because I'm
going out to California for Christmas with Jen
and her family and all that stuff and First time
I've traveled since 2012 so First time I've ever
traveled. I think beyond the the Mississippi
River So there's that too because I've never
been out west to my knowledge. I Thought you're
not you could be floating down a river like a
log so I Yeah, I went over Niagara Falls in a
barrel once And you live to tell about it, I'm
still here aren't I you're wearing the Adam suit
no No, no, no, no, no So so yeah, it's it's holiday
time. It's Christmas time and You know, we got
all this stuff going on. I've got a ton of podcast
production I've been doing the last two months
or anything else so you guys could have content
while I'm out in California having fun and taking
almost a full month break from podcasting even
though I've been doing all this stuff and working
towards getting all this content ready for while
I'm gone, but it's like Jen and I, we might record
stuff while I'm out there, for like, Tooncast
or something like that, but, and Doug and I will
probably record stuff for his show, but other
than that, I'm pretty much going to be podcasting
free for about 30 days, which is going to be
kind of crazy. Hey, that's cool. Yeah. You, on
the other hand, new job. Yep. Still going strong.
Yep. School's kicking your ass. School can go
burn in fire. Yeah, not literally, but I'm just
done So done You graduate next year, right? I
graduate in May. Yeah. Well, that's nice. I am
done Do not want to be there anymore Captain
Professor useless is still showing up to class
but does nothing and then the other guy has been
doing stuff and then I'm I've managed to cut
a 30 minute Interview clip thing down to I knocked
it down to 12 minutes the other day. Mm -hmm
I've managed to knock it from there down to four
minutes and 53 seconds or for somewhere around
that vicinity It has to be between three and
six minutes. Mm -hmm And I was like, I really
don't want to mess with this anymore. And I managed
to do exactly what I set out to do. So I got
it below the six -minute mark. It may get shorter.
It just depends on how I feel. Because the longer
it is, the more B -roll I have to put in. And
we have to go over it with the teacher on Wednesday,
the same day as our exam. Yeah, I'm On the one
hand looking forward to Getting closer to being
done, but I don't really want to have to do the
project anymore I'm kind of done with the semester
and I Want some kind of a because like I feel
overloaded right yeah between Actually getting
involved with like a hundred percent with my
work now But uh I just I don't want I Don't know
I guess I just don't want to be like overwhelmed
anymore Yeah, and that's part of it is I'm dealing
with school at the same time So yeah, let me
you know the more I think about it the more you
talk about it I mean, this is the same thing
as what you know what would happen when we were
kids I mean, when I was a kid, my mom was running
around with a chicken, like a chicken with her
head cut off, you know, doing, you know, house
cleaning jobs and various things and whatever
else. My dad worked like, even though they were
divorced when I was two, my dad worked like three
jobs every single day. That was just that generation,
you know, that was just that era. And that's
the same thing now. You know, you talk about
high stress areas, you've got a wife and two
kids. You got a new job that the website helped
you get. And you know, you got school, and school
is finishing up, you got what? You got about
six months left or so. Somewhere in that vicinity.
Well, December to May, I figure, six, eight months,
whatever. It's 10 o 'clock at night, people.
I'm not going to do math at almost 10, 11 o 'clock
at night. So there's just a lot of things that
are... Turning and turning and it's that time
of year that we all not just you, but we all
just want to just kind of relax I mean so I understand
about getting you know overloaded and burnt out
and whatever else. I'll tell you for me After
all the stuff. I've recorded and edited in the
last two months. I almost at the end of this
year I almost never want to see a podcast again
So yeah So this episode yes this episode of we
were gonna be talking The legends of the brave
of the bold. Yes. I called the yeah Yeah, I came
and have you sign this before City Council went
into mutiny, but that can totally wait count
me in For what I thought you were tired. Yeah,
but it's it's aliens Oh, that is so cute. You
guys are just gonna get together and go fight
some aliens. Have you lost your mind? They're
aliens, and there's only four of you. Not if
we get Stein and, you know, all the others. They're
calling themselves the legends. Egotistical,
but catchy. Do you know who they are? I know
where they were. For those that don't know what
that is, it's our CW TV recap. Yeah, segment,
which will kind of be its own thing later on.
Next year, yes Yes, and in this episode the reason
why we're doing this now is because it's timely
and we haven't really had a chance to talk about
the DC TV shows like we used to because scheduling
changes and things like that were when we normally
record on Monday or Wednesday now and the DC
shows usually even when we recorded on Thursdays
we could never get all four shows in one episode
because we would never be able to see Legends
right away you know because we you know don't
actually watch it live but yeah so last week
Legends was available uh... uh... eric dcv arrowverse
had the invasion crossover all four shows supergirl
flash arrow and legends and crossed over and
is technically it was three out of the four because
the supergirl episode they had plans thirty seconds
well and i understand that i'd get that they
were trying to show you hey something's happening
during the episode and supergirl still had to
deal with what was going on in her own universe
there um so yeah it was the last 30 seconds but
um She already knew it was Barry and Cisco because
they had tried to open up the port because they
tried to open up the portals beforehand and as
soon as I saw the thing I knew what it was even
though I knew that the shows were crossing over
I just wasn't sure how they were gonna do it
if Barry was gonna put on the tacky on thing
and run again or if they were gonna use Cisco
which Cisco is such a nice McGuffin now Cisco
is an asshole in like two -thirds of this crossover
pretty much until he does exactly what he yelled
at Barry for. Exactly. And then he's like, I'm
a dick too. I changed the timeline. And Stein's
like, I changed the timeline. And Barry's like,
I changed the timeline. But yeah, that's the
only important part. Everybody changed the damn
timeline and then Sarah's like I have to fight
every day not to change the time line That was
a nice little So we started on Supergirl part
of Supergirl Supergirl story is apparently her
father on Krypton created the Medusa virus and
it's to kill any non Kryptonian people and whatever
else and uh... cadmus wants to get a hold of
that and we find out that uh... at first i thought
lena was going to be with her mom but you know
we find out that he has a sneaky sister and she
wasn't yeah but i still didn't fully unknown
that yeah and other areas again luthers yeah
luthers are uh... are are luthers And then, you
know, so we had all that. We had the whole thing
with Mon -El and Kara kissing, because he was
also injured in this thing. We had Thanksgiving.
So the original Supergirl, Helen Slater, returns
as Kara's mom, Eliza. So we had that and, man,
I'd love to have Supergirl on my Thanksgiving
dinner. It takes less than 10 seconds to heat
vision a turkey. That works for me. I thought
that was so hilarious. Yep. And then at the end,
we have the cliffhanger of, you know, hey, remember
last year when you said, you know, what are we
up against? And it leads into flash. I thought
the Supergirl episode was very good as including
it as far as saying it's part of the crossover,
I understand why people all around the world
and the internet and half of our friends and
I don't know if you'll say this or not, it's
really not part of the crossover but I think
of it more as a lead -in. It's not even really
a lead -in because actually Flash is the lead
-in. She's like the intermediary part before
they... Actually get full throttle into the thing.
Yeah, she's kind of like the prologue to a book
But yeah, so speaking of flash before we get
too far into invasion part two here with flash.
I was right I Knew I was gonna be right with
that. So last time we talked about flash. It
was they had revealed Savitar the speed God they
had kind of but not really revealed Dr. Alchemy
and as soon as I saw the episode before this
episode like the next day I think I messaged
you on Twitter I was like so did you watch flash
last night cuz I was right friggin Julian is
Dr. Alchemy are you kidding me I knew he was
from the first time I saw both of them oh did
you okay see I wasn't exactly sure it was so
like almost obvious and you knew he wasn't pulling
the strings anyway so it didn't really you know
i didn't know if he was the one pulling the strings
until i saw uh the the rival get like slaughtered
right in his his cage with nobody noticing right
so uh Yeah, I kind of figured that he wasn't
the lone dog anymore and he was following orders
so Yeah, I just I Knew that Julian was gonna
be a part of it. Yeah, I figured he would be
Because he was so and the reason why I knew he
was gonna be is because He was so anti -meta
human like I hate them all you know and come
to find out dude you're the villain or you're
the you're the darth vader to his uh his emperor
there so what is this place it's this old hall
hanger thing that star lab zones or i guess i
own it wait you should do something with it all
right so let me get this right our um time traveling
buddies in a flying time ship are supposed to
just pop up right here right yeah this is the
time place i gave them so if they got my message
they should be here You know I've never done
drugs. Because I was always afraid I'd see weird
stuff. Take everybody inside, all right? Tell
Oliver I'll be right back. Where are you going?
Well, since we're fighting aliens, I figured
we should get one of our own, right? You found
the right Earth? Taki on device tracked you on
Earth 38 when you met her, so you should find
her there. All right. Just so you know, I'm only
doing this because we're on a mission. I'm not
gonna let my issues with you get in the way of
that. This might take a few tries. This better
be in the right place. Because if this isn't
the right place, someone's about to be real confused.
Barry! Hey! I knew it! I knew that was you! Took
a couple tries to get here. This is my friend,
Cisco. Well, friend is a loose term. We work
together. Hi, Cisco. I have to say it. This is
a nice universe you got here. Thank you. Do you
remember last year when I helped you out and
you promised to do the same for me? What are
we up against? So Flash Invasion episode, I really
dug this. This had so much coolness into it.
It almost felt like it was a two hour episode
of Flash. They packed so much into this and they
did it so well. Yeah, it was like a three hour
episode of Flash. I love how they started out,
Barry. This is all your fault really that's what
you're going with yeah This is all you because
I didn't know what the heck was going on And
I love when shows start like that where they
start with the sometimes it bugs me They'll start
at a moment, and then they'll go ten hours before
which is what they did here this well CW does
that a lot no because they they do that was supernatural
a lot too mm -hmm I mean, I didn't mind it here
because it worked very well. I thought it was
really awesome, so You know, so I thought that
was great. So we go 10 hours earlier and We you
know find out about these dominators and aliens
and they disrupt various communications with
the team and Got to bring Lila in and all these
other governmental people and everything else
and I just love the whole scene where where felicity's
like you're not gonna do this by yourself are
you no no i didn't you know i'm gonna go get
some people and you know we get the team up we
get oh it's just so good to see everybody team
arrow is here team legends is here is that everyone
i think so nate and amyre back watching the wave
rider the newbies that was cool guys Thanks for
coming very I thought you were bringing an alien
and yeah We did everybody. This is my friend
Cara Danvers or if she's not on her earth Supergirl
what makes us so super well I'm convinced Everybody
on and how they came in how each of them came
in like Barry running through and saving Oliver
and Dig, and him having to go get Supergirl of
the Legends coming in with the Wave Rider. I
loved all that stuff. I thought that was very
well executed. And then the reveal of the Dominators
is just so cool. What did you think at this point
when they had to go get, basically forge the
team here? Well, I really enjoyed it. Could not
wait for them to assemble. I liked That they
finally gave Adam his suit back I liked that
They had all four the teams even though they
were very dysfunctional bunch and then Rory's
like I'm not following everybody. I'm I need
one guy to listen to mm -hmm and then They're
like Oliver and Oliver's like this is your thing
you you do it and then Barry's like well, um
Oliver coaches and Oliver coaches and then Sarah's
like we're just supposed to pretend that we can't
hear him, too That was funny That's so funny,
but yeah the um the way that it played out was
pretty cool and then Oliver's distrust of Supergirl
yeah, yeah, but I like how they played with the
The whole aspect of The the Dominators and why
they're there and it's all Barry's fault yep
again Yep, pretty everything this season is Barry's
fault for everyone. Uh -huh and You know Some
people knew and say well so on on team flash
some people knew and some people didn't know
that Barry had changed the timeline like Felicity's
team arrow, but Felicity knew because he had
told her initially and then I think Caitlin and
everybody else came to learn it and apparently
well because of the whole yeah because of everybody
him saying events of flashpoint things like that
and it just seems to me that this new universe
cisco is just such a hard ass until this episode
because look we get it barry changed the timeline
your brother is dead not alive we understand
that we mourn your loss but you know like come
on now there's nothing we could do about it at
this point um But you know as you said but by
the end of it Cisco kind of learns learns his
lesson and kind of comes back into the fold I
Just love seeing all these guys work together.
I love seeing Oliver and and Barry Against everybody
that was awesome That was pretty funny actually
um Then they fix them despite the dominators
Might control well how they fix him is amazing
though? Yeah, why I choose a supergirl to do
it Yeah, so they It gets her mad he gets her
he crashes through the transponder well the reason
why she crashes through the transponder is he
gets her so mad that she's flying around, he's
running around, he just stops, and he's just
standing there, and she's gonna fly at him, but
he's vibrating at super speed. So she just passes
right through him, and basically she destroys
the mind control thing. Hopefully this is not
just me, but the image of Sarah when her mind
control thing went away. Is it just me, or did
her forehead get like the size of the Grand Friggin'
Canyon? in that shot. I don't know if it did
or not. You don't have to take a screenshot.
Yeah, it looked really weird. I mean, I don't
want to focus on Sarah's forehead all the time,
but it just, I don't know. That whole thing just
looked really strange. So we get everybody back.
And we go to fight the Dominators and the episode
for Flash kind of ends with the Dominators kidnapping
all the non -metahumans and aliens. Basically
all of the original Team Arrow. Yep, pretty much.
So they got Arrow, Diggle, Thea, Rey, and Sarah.
Yep. And that's kind of how Flash ended. Mean,
I know it normally takes five seasons, but this
was arrows 100th episode Yeah, that was kind
of kind of a cool nod there, and it was I managed
to bring everyone back Yeah, and they kind of
did like a perchance to dream with Batman Yeah,
most like it was saying very tasteful in the
sense that they gave Oliver and everyone else
a opportunity to see how things should go or
should have gone However, you know Obviously
things didn't go that direction and then they
all start kind of quasi remembering and I think
it was hilarious that dig was the green arrow
or the hood And then you know everybody kind
of had to come to grips with the fact that none
of this was real and decide to leave and Thea
didn't want to yeah, and then dig gets hurt and
then the the dream and he has to leave and then
the wave rider comes cruising in and picks them
up. Which was just spectacular. And then they're
like, oh great, time ship. And then of course
drop them all back off on Earth. Well yeah, see
that's the thing. So they escape the dream world.
They're on the ship. They then have to find an
escape pod or something. and they find this this
dropship on the alien ship and they somehow managed
to figure out how to get it to drop and then
like you said the way rider comes in with its
tracker beam and whatever else and just kind
of zoomed off I gotta say I said I said this
on on Facebook I said after I watched this episode
of arrow I said this is by far the best episode
of the entire series to this point I haven't
had this much fun with this Arrow specific storyline
since season one and season two. Everything came
together in this one episode. I love how they
have to mention Walter, but they never actually
show him. So fun. And then Legends. Since we
learned of them, we've been calling them the
Dominators. We can't do this alone. I don't plan
to. Guys, thanks for coming. This is Kara Danvers,
Supergirl. I went back in time and changed the
timeline. It's called Flashpoint, and now things
here are different than before I left. You just
erased a daughter from my life? He took it upon
himself to change the timeline, and because of
it, my brother was killed. There's no amount
of... Feeling bad. I could never make up for
that. I'm having memories of a stranger, but
she's not really a stranger. What if when you
interact with the younger self in 1987 you inadvertently
changed my past? You're back! Oh, it's so good
to see you. I love you, Dad. We call Lila. Tell
her these dominators aren't here peacefully.
Maybe they chose us because we couldn't fight
back. Because none of you are meta -human. What
is their plan? The phrase loosely translates
to we are nearing completion of the weapon I
Can't believe it you guys escaped an alien spaceship
keywords alien spaceship. I have questions. They
can wait legends is It's a nice little ending
to it all They basically bring in Sector 7 they're
just missing John Totoro oops well I'm afraid
this the um there was pulled like almost a They
make character like this an agents of shield
mm -hmm that went back to the Captain America
timeline like he was From that era and then was
really old in the modern day kind of thing mm
-hmm so in that sense I kind of see it like that,
but I do see it kind of like a sector seven in
a sense But they I like that they they were like
we signed the treaty with them to leave us alone,
but they want Barry Allen. Yeah. And then Cisco's
like, I saved the guy that's coming after us.
He's kind of a dick. And then he realizes he
screwed up and he's like, oh, I can't fault Barry
anymore. And so he just, he ends up helping Barry
and everything is kind of back to normal. And
yeah. So I mean, it's, it's, it's really cool
how the whole thing plays out. Yeah, and the
thing with the legends episode is we have more
time travel in not inconsistencies, but paradox
I because Lily Stein's daughter Yeah, the daughter
he would never had before until the week before
they went to 1987 and he basically talked his
younger self into Paying more attention to his
wife now. They don't actually say in the invasion
episode But they make it Sound like, um, Clarissa
is not alive. Like Stein consistently mentions
his wife and, and Lily at one point when they
first meet, when, uh, Caitlin and Stein go to
the house, she, she, Lily says, Oh, you know,
she's not here. So I'm kind of wondering if his
timeline change that he did basically. gave him
a daughter, but his wife is no longer there.
Or maybe they're divorced. Something. We find
out what the Dominators' plans are. They basically
fear metahumans, they basically fear other alien
super -powered people, and that they're going
to eventually destroy... the entire universe
or their planet or whatever else. So they basically
build a metahuman bomb to kill all the metas
on earth. Okay then. So Firestorm has to do the
dirty work. Quite literally, he has to clean
up the dirty bomb. He has to absorb it. I really
dig Firestorm here. I mean, I like Jax and Stein
by themselves, but when they're together as Firestorm,
I really dig it because you have two very different
personalities coming together and having to work
together for the common good, and I really dig
how they work together. Also part of the plan
here is to have Barry and Supergirl, Barry and
Kara run around and fly around the world to get
all the dominators to have these... things that
Stein made up, inhibitors or wherever they're
supposed to be. And I love Felicity. Good work
planting Professor Stein's nano weapons, but
we still got dominators all over the country.
This looks like a job for Supergirl. Thanks Felicity.
I'm not the least bit insulted. Sorry, I meant
Supergirl and Flash. This is totally a job for
the both of you. That's what I meant, Supergirl
and Flash. Thought that was hilarious I know
a lot of people over the years have been kind
of eh on Felicity But I think where I enjoy her
most is when she's in a situation like this With
Barry with with team flash with all these other
people the funny part is when they're all partying
and she's like And Supergirl is in like her Kara
outfit. Yeah Kara out Kara mode Felicity's like
wow doesn't she look like somebody you know You
know basically it's sitting here that at her
and then raised like kind of reminds me of my
cousin Mm -hmm, and then she's like looking at
him like you you you slept with me genius like
you don't Well no no that's no when when Ray
said it looks like she kind of reminds her of
She kind of reminds her of his cousin I don't
know that's what Kara said No, it's a race that
about Kara Oh, okay, cuz it's it's some sort
of Superman reference. Yeah. Well, yeah, it was
kind of that way, but yeah Yeah, the um Ray said
it and then in Felicity looks at Ray like hey
And then I loved what Cisco did for Supergirl
mm -hmm making her the Portable yep breach program
Yep, that was awesome. So she could open up her
own breach and come back. Yep. Whenever needed
or make a call. So that just means that she's
a phone call away from Earth 38. Yeah. Well,
you know, they're on Earth 38 and then there's
like Earth 3 is with Jay Garrick and then Earth
2 is with Harry and then and Jesse and then Earth
1 is this one. Yep. Well, you know, I know what
they're setting up there when Cisco gave her
that. I've heard rumors, and I've heard, I've
seen things online saying that at some point
in Supergirl Season 2 or Flash Season 3, there's
going to be a crossover musical episode where
Benoist and Grant get to sing because they were
both on Glee. Now, Grant has already sung, he
sang in Season 2 with Caitlin, but I have seen
online that that is supposedly supposed to happen
this year. So I wonder if John Jones and Cal
L will be there See that was the other thing
like this is a super huge invasion. I understood
so very not coming I I do I do understand that
John Jones. Yeah Well, he was still dealing with
his white Martian change. Oh, he's healed Okay.
All right. Yeah, you didn't see Supergirl. Yeah.
No, I saw Supergirl. They healed him with the
same uh... stuff that there is in the way about
the aliens uh... right they get a reverse engineered
it yeah uh... danvers mother comes up with uh...
you know the cure by reverse engineering absolutely
spectacular yes as it is uh... so yeah that's
that's the crossover folks and dang was it good
It was really awesome. I can't wait to see more
stuff like this. In the future, I hope that we
get some more not only awesome stuff in the sense
of More crossovers, but I hope that we can see
some heroes that For instance, I would like to
see a Batman show up And a Nightwing and some
of those other characters because we do have
you know, they have mentioned, you know Gotham
they have mentioned Wayne Industries in both
timelines They have mentioned, well I mean they've
mentioned Gotham and Supergirls and then they've
mentioned Wayne Industries and the Flash timeline
and so like I wonder what universe he's gonna
be in and exist and you know just not. Basically
it would be nice to see him be used even if it
were from another Earth where he doesn't necessarily
have to take part in the major storyline but
it could be like an offshoot storyline. Alright,
absolutely. Well, you could do like Batman of
Xernar and I mean, there's so many different
Batman versions that you could use I know I'm
like hanging on that that one thread there But
I also I expect Green Lantern to show up at some
point. Mm -hmm because they have mentioned the
Ferris air. Yep, which was destroyed Yeah, I
just don't know who they would like if they're
gonna use how or if they're gonna use Kyle if
they're gonna eat like that's the other thing
like which which Sex sector two eight one. I'm
guessing they would go with hell, you know They
might go with hell, but this this would be an
interesting difference here. Mm -hmm And just
go with me on this thought Diggle That's great.
Oh you you mean you do the john steward effect
but have diggle be so you so what you're saying
is that don't have john steward is that they
will become because he's x military just like
john steward answer and it would actually make
a perfect sense for him to be a green lantern
yeah and it's better than having him be spartan
i mean don't get me wrong i i i i like john i
think he's a great character i love the character
I just... He needs to stop trying to be Judge
Dredd. That's really what he needs to stop trying
to be. He's gotta let it build up hatred right
now. Yeah. Welcome to the Wicked Radio Network.

to the show. So overall Invasion was great. We
have the mid -season finales coming up and I
wasn't sure if Invasion wasn't going to be like
I almost think they ought of have left us at
the end of that with everything kind of wrapped
up. But we do have one more episode for each
show for the mid -season finale. uh... for supergirl
we've got supergirl lives which is a play on
kevin smith's uh... superman lives thing and
he's actually going to be directing this episode
uh... cuz he wrote uh... script for the unproduced
film superman lives so that's what's happening
on supergirl on flash we've got the presence
of something's gonna be happening with with flash
in the present and jay garrick and all that stuff
on arrow we have what we leave behind So that's
probably gonna be some sort of reflection more
reflection because that's the one thing about
the arrow part of invasion They did more character
development for Oliver Queen in that one episode
than they've done in five friggin years I Wouldn't
say five years. I just said the last two Maybe
and then legends they're gonna do the Chicago
way Captain cold Captain Gold returns dun dun
dun. I think Supergirl I think that was the season
finale or Not season finale midseason. Oh, okay
Yeah, I don't think because I don't see a teaser
for another episode Yeah, and the date for Supergirl
lives did not actually show up. So Yeah, I guess
Medusa was the midseason. Huh? That's always
weird But anyway, we got one more week of Flash
Arrow and Legends. So yeah, like I said, for
me overall, I know there are a few problems people
might have with the overall crossover of Invasion,
but the whole thing... i can give it a four -and
-a -half i really don't get i thought it was
all well and good and there's so many quotable
lines from each of those episodes well yeah i
mean like you know uh... felicity walks in and
then you know she's like i'm right there i was
gonna have you sign this before the board started
revolting but you know aliens tell me in you're
retired but you have it it's it's aliens but
I can't wait until Nate on Legends steal I can't
wait till he gets a better suit I can't wait
until Cisco upgrades his damn suit because I'm
sorry there's a picture of the team during I
think it's during Legends that I actually grabbed
it I might have to put it in the post but there's
a picture of the team you get Firestorm Supergirl
and Adam in the back you got from left to right
steal uh... spartan flash arrow uh... my uh...
vixen and and and he went well when i first screen
cap this it was before steel turned on his metal
and he just looks like crap in that suit without
his metal out like so he didn't get shiny no
i had to go back and we take the uh... i had
to redo the screen grab his the first one i got
was it's just him With his flabby arms in that
suit. Like, I can't wait until Asisco upgrades
that suit. When you said in that suit, I had
a moment from another animated film. Where's
my super suit? Exactly. We're talking the greater
good. The greater good. I am your wife. There
is no greater good. The greatest good. Oh, man.
Next year, folks. Incredibles is coming to Tooncast
Beyond. But anyway. Incredibles are coming to
town. Yep. So, yeah, that's kind of... I hope
everyone enjoyed this. I know we didn't go over
every single detail of each of these episodes,
but, I mean, just... Each one of them has such
great moments, like in Flash when they show up,
when he and Supergirl show up. You know So everybody
this is my friend Karat Envers or on her that
she's known as Supergirl and Jax has to be the
one so it makes you so super she flies up and
Does the heat vision of the of the Superman so
I thought that was so great. I Thought that was
so great And then legend said so many like legends
was fun because you had Mick Basically saying
yeah, I'm not gonna call you a supergirl. I'm
just gonna call you skirt That was pretty funny
Honestly, he does actually call her supergirl
though cuz he did get in trouble I think the
main thing people had a problem with when it
came to the arrow the the team arrow the recruits
was what's his name? Renee where he's like, oh,
I hate all you metahuman alien people and then
like five seconds later when when he got saved
he's like oh yeah you guys are right in my book
so i i know people kind of complained about that
but there's still so much awesome here to not
really focus on just one bad character moment
oh yeah i it was still it was a great episode
or like series of episodes um i yeah i i I had
a lot of fun watching it and I Can't wait till
because you know, they're gonna package. This
is a special DVD set. Oh, absolutely And I'm
going to have it because it's awesome. I Love
the thing in arrow where where Sarah's like It's
not like I'm an assassin or anything Oh, yeah,
that was great and then her and Ray, you know
Ray's kind of giving you giving her the googly
eyes and Dina's like Laurel's like are you sure
you're just into girls? It was all so funny it
was so awesome and arrow we didn't really talk
about arrow with bringing the villain you got
you got Deathstroke you got Merlin you got Crap
Dark you got all those all those awesome villains
over the seasons. That was really really cool.
Oh Yeah, I mean I I There was so much good stuff
going on and so many cameos on this stuff that
it just they were like Hey, let's have a giant
playground and see what happens. Mm -hmm They're
like this put all they're like everybody in the
pool Right trap Yes, I I know if he says everybody
out of the pool, but yeah But yeah, I mean I
was just like in shock about how good this was
like this whole setup and The the other thing
I loved about it is as each of the episodes progressed
You had various logo changes like for the flash
episode you had the soup flash supergirl legends
and arrow Logos like all superimposed over each
other for the arrow episode you had all five
years of the versions of arrows logo all the
different incarnations of that and Legends one
of the legends do They did all the logos floating
into the same logo. That's that's what it was.
I took a screenshot of it on my phone. Oh, yeah
Oh god, it was so good and then at the end of
each one They're like to be continued on the
flash to be continued on arrow to be continued
on legends Each of those episodes is just so
great. It's by like I've enjoyed all the crossover
stuff and I enjoy almost all of the shows at
least three out of the four of them and um...
yeah everything just melded together so well
you still have all the issues from each show
you still have all the character issues i mean
they kinda resolve the cisco berry issue which
is great uh... and we didn't even really talk
about the whole subplot for flash with wally
and everything else i think that's gonna be interesting
i wonder how long They're going to drag Wally's
story out before he actually gets to suit up.
I don't know, but I think it's kind of lame if
they don't get to it soon. Well, by the end of
the season, I would think. It should be a lot
sooner than that, since they've just had Jesse
do it, and now him. Yeah. Yeah, they're kind
of pushing that envelope a little bit. A little
bit slow. So, we'll see. Yep, we'll see, we'll
see. Next week. I don't know what we're doing
next week because I'll be out in California So
I'll be sitting at the beach podcasting from
from from nice. You know waters in December Nice
waters in December Did you see the since I'm
feeling like getting into something really retarded
at the moment oh no Did you see that clip I posted
it was earlier in the week mm -hmm it was about
seagulls oh no yeah i i just can't i i just i've
seen i know what you're talking about i watched
like a half a second of it it's hilarious i just
it was the uh the the bad lip sync yeah and they
did a song of it uh And I thought it was hilarious.
It's it's Yoda whales about seagulls a new new
bad lip reading video. And it's just it's it's
so mind bogglingly stupid, but it's probably
the best song that they have on their entire
thing. Yeah, it's and they're they're Luke voiceover
guy sounds like spot on Luke at that age. They
have another one that's like bushes of love and
it's got like Obi -Wan and some other people
and then they've got another like I like all
their bad lip reading stuff. They've got one
that's like not the future there's there's a
lot of them but like this is probably their best
music one They've got like the rest of them are
kind of I don't know. I didn't really like them,
but This one had me the first time I saw it flow
through on on my Twitter feed. I just I couldn't
stop laughing Yeah, this is gonna be your new
narwhals Yeah, this is actually better I Could
not help it at all But narwhal so But uh yeah,
so I mean I'll probably have another episode
of alter geek coming out soon probably pertaining
with the The news version of the show and then
I know I said wouldn't do that until after the
new year But I'm gonna experiment with it. So
let's see what happens. So Anything you'd like
to mention before we go? Besides that there's
like a new x -men trailer a new x -men legion
trailer new Star Trek or not Star Trek transformers
trailer And alpha 5 looks like a freaking donut
with a spaceship head EA does Yeah, I was like
WTH and then everybody else was like spaceship
You know I I am in such a mode right now of doing
like I've noticed various things like I think
I think this happened a week ago the guy who
created the Big Mac passed away so McDonald's
Big Mac sandwich that guy who created that originally
passed away, but I really have not like this
giant four episode crossover was kind of like
my swan song for the final week that I'm actually
gonna be at home before I go on vacation and
the rest of this time I am just production machine
at this point in the last and I think I said
this last episode in the last two and a half
months I've edited over 35 different podcasts
and I still have like 10 left to do and getting
all this content done and and everything else
so I paid attention to the news but when it comes
to trailers unless I see it right away as soon
as somebody like I wouldn't have probably seen
the Transformers trailer until the next day,
but I saw that Proto Man had posted it. I'm like,
OK, I'll check it out, and we'll be talking about
that later on in the week. But it's just one
of those things where I've got so much to do
before I fly out of here on Friday. Or actually,
I'll be out of here by the time you guys hear
this. That's why, it's one of the reasons why
I wanted us to wait a week to be able to do this
Legends of Arrowverse review because I wanted
a week where we could just do something simple
and easy and not have to worry about news stories
this week. Yes sir, yes sir, yes sir. So. And
next week is episode 169. Bow chicka wow wow.
No thanks. I am so far behind on all my YouTube
video watching. Yeah, you are you yes because
I'm like two weeks behind man Yeah, I've got
like a hundred videos to watch and no time to
watch them because I'm actually watching and
learning things on the internet Internets that
are a part of my job, right? Which is actually
kind of cool being able to say that I'm watching
something that matters And I have to write about
it So yeah, I mean that's that's definitely awesome
But yeah the The internets are full of fun right
now, so I Guess look for the next ultra geek
episode may or may not come out before or after
this one just kind of depends right and yeah
so until next time get all too geeky with the
alter geeks what do you think you're doing to
them same thing they're gonna do to us unless
we get out of here oh yeah y 'all call protect
support great say bye geeks
No chapter markers for this episode.
