On A Hero

Vic and Mel are On A Hero to chop up Lanterns episode 5 and other things such as:Who did it better? Corenswet Superman or Ezra Flash?Current X-Men run vs the 90sDoes the general audience know who Tim Drake is?

Vic and Mel record in person for the first time ever so apologies if the sound gets wonky, Mel is a moron and doesn't know how to speak into a mic. On this episode, the boys chop up Lanterns, Tom King, little bit of manga, little bit of Avengers, little bit of Chun-Li, and safe ways to run around the house with scissors!

Okay that title has nothing to do with the episode. Well it does a little. It's a quote from.. well if you listen then you'll get it! Mel, Chris, and T chop up Lanterns episode 4 and other stuff like Harry Potter, Spider-man, Nantucket, Severance, and Dom Toretto's super strength.
