Kriss & Dpalm are back to continue their rewatch of Agents of SHIELD with the first 11 episodes of Season 2. It's an understatement to say that business definitely picks up. Looking back at these 11 episodes, we can see the pace that AoS sets that is really just unmatched by any other show. This show also does a great job of establishing that character progression has happened in between the seasons and expects that the audience is capable of keeping up. We see Coulson trying to be director while also trying to hide his urge to carve weird alien writing in the wall, a complete change in Skye (even before her inhuman transformation) into a deadly and very capable SHIELD agent, the split between Fitz and Simmons, a softer side of May AND we get new team members like Hunter, Bobbi and Mack who fit right in.  And then there's Ward and the fact that you're led to believe that maybe, just maybe there's some hope to redeem him and then he just doubles down on being psychopath and it's glorious. Not many shows are capable of packing this much action, character development and story development into 11 episodes without at least one of those three things suffering. AoS does it and it does it by following the simple concept of "It's all connected" Listen as we talk about these first 11 episodes of Season 2 and we'll be back later this month to wrap up the season.    Like what you hear?

We're back to finish up Season 1 of of our Agents of SHIELD rewatch. The first 13 episodes were really good and the pace was great. The back half of the season is even better. It's fun to go back and see all the threads and seeds that are painted in this first season. You know the season is great when you know the big reveal that's coming and it still hits you like a ton of bricks. Brett Dalton does such a great job turning heel and you feel the betrayal just like the team does. It's also a good reminder that this show never hesitated to kill people in horrible ways. Can't wait to move onto Season 2.     Like what you hear?

A few months ago we announced that we would be reducing the number of individual shows here at MTR Network and that at the end of this year Super Tuesday Recap would come to an end. Seeing how The Flash was the last of our long recurring shows we covered on Super Tuesday Recap, it made the most sense to bring the podcast to a close. However, before we do that, we wanted to end where we began by going allllll the way back to our beginning and cover the show that started it all: Agents of SHIELD. It's been almost a decade since the show debuted and we have to say....it's still damn good. Lots of folks will tell you that the first season wasn't good until the big reveal after Winter Soldier but after rewatching the first 13 episodes of season 1, those folks don't know what they're talking about. Agents of SHIELD is a prime, rare example of a show that was run by creators who knew what story they wanted to tell, stuck to that script and then had the top cover to be able to take as long as they needed to. The first 13 episodes of season 1 really lay the groundwork for not only the rest of season 1 but the rest of the series. Looking back it's really masterful storytelling. The pace is actually pretty quick as well which is something to note because in later season the pace picks up even more. This is going to be a fun and exciting rewatch. Listen as Kriss and Dpalm sing the praises of this great show.   Like what you hear?

It's the end of an era as The Flash on CW comes to an end. It's been a wild ride with some really high highs and some really low lows. And that really sums up this final season as well. The final four episodes though did at least close the loop on themes from the entire show run so that's definitely some credit there. Are there things we wish that were done better? Absolutely? Did it feel like this season was filled with unnecessary tie-ins for other CW shows (And not the one we wanted *cough* Legends of Tomorrow *cough*)? Yup. But the show at least ends on the themes of family and Barry's growth with Iris which makes this at least a successful ending. It also makes us wonder what would have happened if not for all the interference from outside. Unfortunately we will never know. Instead we're left with hoping that the Flash movie turns out good and that the director realizes that Grant Gustin will always be the superior Barry Allen over Ezra Miller. While this is the end for The Flash and our Arrowverse coverage, it's not the end yet for Super Tuesday Recap. Before we shut this show down we're going back to the beginning and are going to do a rewatch/review of Agents of SHIELD from the beginning. We'll be taking June off then will return in July to cover the first half of Season 1. So stay tuned.  Kriss and Dpalm record the Mailbag at the end of every month.

We're coming up on the end of the Flash series and while this wasn't a bad episode, we can't help but look back at the wasted time the other episodes in this shorter season had. With only 3 episodes left, it's a bit weird to only have Barry in the episode at the very end but we get it. Narratively it works, but as a whole we can see how this final season really suffered from the show not knowing this was going to be not only the final season but a shorter one at that. Hopefully the next 2 episodes do this show the justice it deserves and lands the plane.  Kriss and Dpalm record the Mailbag at the end of every month.

Look at that, two great episodes in a row. It's taken way longer than it should but we are finally getting the final episodes we deserved for The Flash. Taking us all the way back to the beginning and how it all began (while also showing us what might be coming) was perfect. This is what we were looking for. As Iris receives word of a career milestone, Barry is suddenly nowhere to be found; Barry runs across many familiar faces; Khione continues to figure out her powers; Chester works on a suit for Allegra.

After a bit of a hiatus we're back with The Flash and it was worth the wait. We finally get an episodes fit for the final season. They gave us Wally, Diggle and most importantly, Stephen Amell back in the suit as Oliver Queen. We didn't realize how much we missed seeing Amell kick ass as Oliver Queen until we saw this episode again. After some very questionable (let's be honest, they were bad) episodes, episode 9 felt like an episode that fit in line with what the final season of the Flash should be with Flash fan service. We also get the open acknowledgement of the existence of the new multiverse (not just new timelines) and a proper goodbye between Diggle and Oliver. Hell they even made us feel better about Diggle giving up the power ring to be with his family. This was a good episode and it gave us hope for what's coming next. We also talk about the Flash movie trailer and the new Transformers trailer. Kriss and Dpalm record the Mailbag at the end of every month.

We finally get to see Barry using his speed after only being told he was running fast the last two episodes. While not perfect, far from it actually, it does feel like we're a bit back on track. We're still very concerned with how they plan on landing this in the remaining episodes. But at least this episode removed the characters (or at least didn't focus on them) we don't care about and moved other characters forward from where they've been. We also talk about the Blue Beetle trailer. Is DC finally getting its act together? Kriss and Dpalm record the Mailbag at the end of every month.

Kriss and Dpalm review the latest episode from the last season of The Flash, Wildest Dreams. We've officially reached the point where we have no idea what they're doing. The pace and storyline seem to have no urgency for the last season. And we're not 2 episodes in a row where Barry not only doesn't put the suit on but doesn't even use his speed (on screen). And no offense to Supergirl fans but we don't care about Dreamer showing up on this show. We really hope they land the plan in the few remaining episodes. Iris and Nia fall into a fever dream and explore different possibilities for their lives; Barry, Chester, Allegra and Cecile desperately try to help them; Khione feels that Mark is trying to make her something she is not.

Kriss & Dpalm talk about episode 6 of season 9 of the Flash. Let's just say we weren't a big fan of this episode before the break. Barry and Iris prepare for their new life; Cecile takes on a case involving a string of unfortunate and highly unexpected events; Chester and the team work with Khione to figure out her abilities.

Kriss & Dpalm are back to talk about the second episode of the final season of The Flash, Hear No Evil. It's clear that the show isn't going to waste a bunch of time and stretch themes and storylines out over this shortened final season and we think that's the right move. In previous seasons giving Snow autonomy over whether to bring Frost or Caitlyn back (at the expense of her own being) would have taken a few episodes. But in this condense season, not only do we get that all in one episode, we also show the growth of the other characters on the show when they talk about what side of the decision they come down on. Plus it was good to see Barry & Iris make the mature, seasoned call at the end without having to bring Joe & Cecile into it. Add to that the fact that it seems that we might finally get a proper, organized and coordinated Rogues Gallery, we're liking what we're seeing. Speaking of liking what we're seeing, we also discuss the trailer for the Flash movie. When the fact that Ezra Miller makes a terrible Barry Allen doesn't ruin the trailer and still gives us a glimmer of hope, that should say something. The fact that the James Gunn era is here and we have hope says a lot. Kriss and Dpalm record the Mailbag at the end of every month.

The Flash is back for it's final season and it's hard to think it's been 9 seasons. There have been some ups and downs but it still pretty remarkable to think this show has lasted so long. It's easy to dismiss it now in the days of Disney+, HBOMax and Prime Video series that have taken off. But for a network TV show about a superhero on a network like the CW that went beyond just being a superhero show in name only, it's done pretty well for itself. We talk about this first episode and what we expect from this 13-episode final season.  We also talk about the announcements for the new DC Universe that James Gunn made. It's easy to be skeptical of DC and these types of announcements that seem to happen around the same time every few years. But this time feels a bit different and we're daring to have a bit of hope. Not too much. Just a little bit.  Kriss and Dpalm record the Mailbag at the end of every month.

Kriss and Dpalm wrap up this last season of The Flash. Overall we liked what they did here but there are definitely some moments that felt rushed towards the end. It's also very clear that they were taking some big themes from the Williamson run.  We also talk about the latest in the Ezra Miller saga and just how much of a bind WB is in with the Flash movie.

We're back after a little bit of a break to talk about the last two episodes of the Flash. We get the guy that always makes Flash episodes better, Thawne. And this time what's better than one Thawne? Two Thawnes. I don't care if Thawne has lost his memory and found love, he's never to be trusted. Never. On sight. ON SIGHT. There are two more episodes left and we know that Thawne is going to be part of that. So that's going to be fun. It's a little sad that they seemed to close the door on Diggle becoming a Green Lantern but with CW being sold, we get it.  Oh and we have to talk about the "other" Flash, Ezra Miller. What a dumpster fire that is. WB is in a tough spot to have a star that at the center of your multiverse plan being what seems like, a groomer. Can't be good.  Kriss and Dpalm record the Mailbag at the end of every month. If you want to send in your own questions and thoughts, email us: Mailbag@MTRNetwork.Net   Like what you hear?

Halo Season 1 was not good. Let's just get that out of the way right now. This isn't coming from the perspective of a Halo stan/fan. Objectively, this show was a mess. It had no idea what story it wanted to tell and whenever it got a decent idea of a good story, it would then shuffle off to something no one cared about. Episodes 8 & 9 weren't bad, but coming off of that terrible episode 7 there was really no where to go but up anyway. The the real problem with episodes 8 & 9 are that they should have been episodes 4 & 5 and been the focus of the story the whole time. Instead because they weren't, so much gets crammed into them that they are illogical and the key points don't hit how they should. This show has some good action scenes and there are some good ones in 8 & 9 but it seems like overall the show is allergic to the thing it does best. Considering there's no follow up on Kwan and what they were trying to do in episode 7, one has to wonder why that was even a storyline to waste time on in season 1. But the entire first season of this show is full of that kind of confusing nonsense.  We also need to talk about how this show does a terrible job with female characters. It seems to fall into that old trope of "Oh look, this female character has emotion so let's show her being irrational and compromised." It was bad enough when they did it with Kai-125 but then they turn around and did it with Makee in the last 2 episodes. Makee goes from unflinching coldness when killing a whole ship of people to being a frail, scared woman holding a gun cause she fell in love with John and got some dick after 1 day? Come on. It's insulting.  Halo is getting a second season but it doesn't deserve it. The writing and execution of season 1 was a huge disappointment. Rewarding this show with a second season is just going to reenforce all the things it did wrong.    Like what you hear?

Kriss and Dpalm discuss the last two episodes of the Flash. This season has felt disjointed. The way that things are unfolding don't make a lot of sense. The show goes from caring about Iris disappearing in episode 15 to opening with a fun D&D game. Then there's the fact that nobody checked on Caitlyn until the very end of episode 16. And when Barry does, he basically turns her into a villain. It's all just really weird. We also discuss some random news and trailers that have come out over the last 2 week.s  Kriss and Dpalm record the Mailbag at the end of every month.

Okay time to wrap this up. Picard Season Two was a bit of a mess operating mostly off of vibes and good will. We get into why we like what we like from this season and a lot of what we did not like from this season. Overall, this was a C+ for us, but we will keep watching Picard for Season 3 to see what the TNG Crew will do.   Like what you hear?

Kriss & Dpalm review the last two episodes of The Flash Season 8: Death Falls and Funeral for a Friend. Death Falls sees Frost sacrifice herself to stop Death Storm and well...it's a choice. Didn't seem like it was entirely necessary to do that but maybe they're working on something else with this storyline considering what we see Caitlyn do at the end of 14. Episode 14 though is just...not good. It didn't seem well thought out. We get what they were trying to do but the execution just wasn't there.

Halo Season 1 is such an incredibly frustrating and disappointing show. That in itself is an amazing feat since before the first episode, we really had no expectations for this show. But the first two episodes (particularly the opening of the first episode) really showed a lot of great potential. What followed though was a disjointed and inconsistent show that is suffering from an identity crisis that would put Marc Spector to shame. This season constantly sets up rules which it doesn't follow. In the first episodes, Master Chief and Silver Team are heavily monitored. But since then, Kai has been completely off her meds and doing weird shit and no one seems to notice but Master Chief. Nothing makes sense.  And then there's episode 7. Hands down the worst episode of the season. This show has done everything to make Kwan not likable and then they make the character the center of an episode that structurally just doesn't make sense. All the sudden Soren is back home (with no real explanation), doing another job but then comes back to save Kwan? What? Why? This is so dumb.  Can Halo stick the landing in the last 2 episodes of this season? Probably not. At this point the hope is that they hit the drawing board when it comes to Season 2 and start fixing things.   Like what you hear?

One thing fans need to realize with these Disney+ series is that even if some are only mini-series, they're never meant to be the end of the story when the season/series comes to a close but a beginning. And the finale of Moon Knight clearly shows that. Marvel has listed episode 6 now as a season finale instead of series finale. But will there be another season? Who knows. But what we do know is that what they did with the characters here is clearly meant to carry on. From turning Layla into the Scarlet Scarab to revealing Jake Lockley in the after credit scene, it's very clear that the is more to these characters that Marvel is planning on continuing on with.  This entire series has been nothing but character studies. Even Khonshu vs Ammit is a battle of philosophies and extremes (and both maybe wrong). It's truly amazing what Marvel does in only 6 episodes but it's also worth noting that because they have so many avenues to revisit these characters on screen, it's really a cheat code. They don't have to tell a whole, complete story because they always have the option of spreading it out into additional movies and TV series. Moon Knight is definitely one of their more unique offerings. It helps to have someone like Oscar Isaac who has such great chemistry with himself (lol).   Like what you hear?

The penultimate episode of Moon Knight really shows the strength of Marvel's Disney+ series when it comes to diving into characters and exploring what makes them tick. This episode sees us get the backstory on why the Steven (and Jake) personalities exist. And it's kinda heartbreaking. Instead of being a weakness, Steven was created to be a strength for Marc. Marc having to come to terms with all of his memories and experiences to balance his scales made for a great watch. In the larger picture, it also shows how the MCU can use these shows to give us the character studies and background on characters in these limited series without needing to use that time in the movies.  This is a busy upcoming week. We have the final episode of Moon Knight as well as Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness hitting theaters. The embargo for the film is up at midnight on the 3rd so get your filters ready if you're trying to avoid spoilers..   Like what you hear?

The Flash is back this week and Barry is stuck cleaning up everyone's mess. Barry is so much better than us because he's not petty and doesn't bring up the fact that Caitlyn and the rest of the team are the reason Death Storm is here. We get it. It's family. But Iris is also going through some wild shit and Barry would have been well within his right to tell them all "You created this mess, you clean it up while I go take care of my wife". But like we said. Barry is much better than us. We also talk about more shakeups at DC. Sadly Legends of Tomorrow and Batwoman are officially cancelled. What does that mean for the other CW projects that were announced? Will next season be the last season of The Flash? It's starting to look like the era of superhero shows on CW is coming to an end.

It continues to be amazing how much stuff gets packed into each episode of Moon Knight without it feeling too crammed. It's hard to believe there's only 2 episodes left. This episode starts off as a Mummy-like expedition with Steven and Layla trying to make it to Amunet's tomb before Arthur and his cult. And they're trying to do it without Marc or Khonshu. And it goes about as well as you would expect.  And then there's the end. Pulled straight from Jeff Lemire's 2016 run. Giving us just enough to wonder if this whole thing was made up in Marc's head but then also showing us that no, no this is very real. Also gotta love that Marc and Steven knew to leave Jake in his sarcophagus.    Like what you hear?

This is one of those episodes where we missed having Cisco. Because we go this entire episodes with Caitlyn talking about resurrecting Ronnie and no one made a Pet Sematary reference about how this was not a good idea. Barry had the right idea that this probably shouldn't be happening and Cecile's powers are never wrong. But no one wanted to listen so now we have Death Storm. What could possibly go wrong?

The first episode of Halo opened up strong and while we appreciate them trying to build out the world and a larger story, we really want them to get back to what got us in the door. We're in a golden age of streaming TV shows right now and what we've learned is that you can tell a really great story without needing 22 episodes. Halo has a 9 episode first season and each episode is almost an hour. Yet it doesn't feel as if the show is using that time efficiently to tell its story. We haven't seen Master Chief (or Silver Team) in action since that first drop-in during episode 1 and that's really a shame.  That doesn't mean that the story they're telling is bad. It's not. It just needs to be supplemented with more action. Right now the show isn't playing to Pablo Schreiber's strong suit. It's funny because The Mandalorian had the perfect blueprint for how to do this but Halo is really struggling to figure out exactly what story it's trying to tell and how to tell it. There are still some interesting things it's trying to do and plenty of time for it to right the ship. Let's hope they can.    Like what you hear?

Episode 3 of Moon Knight picks up the action as Marc, Layla and Khonshu head to Cairo to stop Arthur and it doesn't go well. First off, we get more confirmation of the 3rd personality (Jake) as things get a bit more violent and neither Marc or Steven know who was in control. Also we see why Khonshu is kinda on the outs with the rest of the Gods. Even when he's right and they should be listening, he comes off as completely unhinged. Both Marc and Khonshu look completely out of control compared to Arthur. It's one of those things that shows that you can convince people you aren't a threat by keeping a cool head and acting completely unthreatening.  Halfway through the season Moon Knight has done a great job of keeping the spirit of the characters while making much needed changes. Layla is clearly supposed to be more like Marlene but with much more agency and a much better character overall. We're also clearly on a journey to see all of Marc's personalities come to terms with each other (along with Khonshu). This is the first time we've seen Khonshu actually be nice to Steven and not talk down to him. Making each personality have their own skillset has really paid off.

Marvel has gotten pretty good at getting a lot of story into a short amount of time with their Disney+ series and Moon Knight is no exception. We get our first appearance of "Mr. Knight" with Steven summoning his version of the suit. This series has been surprisingly funny and part of that has to do with how out of his depth Steven is. This series is continuing the theme of the hero needing to find peace with themselves and in this case, Steven/Marc (and possibly Jake) are literally having to do the same thing inside of one person. Add in the very petty, violent and annoyed Khonshu and this is one of those times when maybe you do need to listen to the voices in your head.  But that also is what makes Arthur such a good villain. As the former avatar for Khonshu he knows exactly what Steven/Marc are hearing from him and how much of a blunt instrument Khonshu treats his avatars. But this is why Arthur is so dangerous. Because he's smoothly talking people into killing kids. Among other things.  Listen as Kriss, Ro and Dpalm talk about the latest episode of Moon Knight.    Like what you hear?

It's hard to tell what was more reckless this episode. Frost and her mother using her as bait to lure the Black Flame or Iris knowing she has this unknown sickness going around and still trying to track down Tinya's mother. We know which one caused the bigger issue. Iris out her blinking people out of existence. It does make us think that the end of this season really will be Iris being taken to the future.  Also the WB/Discovery deal is done and so now the questions are: What now? There's a Flash movie coming out with a troubled star (Replacing Miller with Gustin just isn't going to happen). And there are all the delayed movies. It's all just one big mess that a new team is going to have to sort out.  Kriss and Dpalm record the Mailbag at the end of every month.

This episode of the Flash gives us more information on the mysterious Meta that is killing people. It's feeding on grief and we think it might be a version of Cobalt Blue. This would make sense with the changes that we saw happen in the Bart/Nora episode as well as the fact that well...everything leads back to Thawne. It would really make sense if this was Eddie Thawne as well.  One thing that is a valid criticism of this episode is that it didn't lean on the fact that the previous episode had Barry being motivated by his own grief and loss of his father. This should have been an easy link to what Chester was going through and it was a missed opportunity. Work smarter not harder. We also handle some listener emails while also talking about the horrible decisions Sony is making with their Spider-Man-less Spiderverse movies.

We're back to cover another Marvel Disney+ show. But this is a first. All the previous Marvel shows, while introducing new characters, have largely revolved around diving into existing characters. Moon Knight however, is the first series based on an entirely new character. And what's even more interesting is that it's not an origin story. What really works with this first episode is that we the audience are in the same position as Oscar Isaac's Steven Grant. We have no idea what's going on just like Steven and we get plopped down into situations just like he does. It's a great way to introduce a character and get the audience to invest. Marvel also continues its trend of bringing the heat when it comes to acting talent. Oscar Isaac always brings it 100% with his characters. It's what makes Fox's Age of Apocalypse such a travesty. How do you have Oscar Isaac playing Apocalypse and don't utilize that to his full potential? In Moon Knight, we get Isaac playing two completely different characters at the same time and it's a Master Class. It also helps that he's playing off of Ethan Hawke also does a great job. Add in F. Murray Abraham as the voice of the irritated and annoyed Khonshu and what's not to love? Listen as Kriss, Ro and Dpalm talk about the first episode.

This episode of the Flash was a villain origin story. When Taylor destroys Allegra's life, just know, it was deserved. We appreciate that the show didn't smooth things over and make it seem like everything was okay. Nope. Allegra pulled a really terrible move (and Iris reenforced it) and so when Taylor burns down the Citizen, well...they had it coming.  For the main story, it was nice to see how Barry was dealing with the emotions of his father's birthday. This episode didn't paint him as being completely irrational or compromised by his emotional state. Rather, it made him lean on his instincts and the evidence in the case to bring a different perspective. This storyline would have hit a bit harder if Jaco was a villain the audience had more of a connection to. It could have built the doubt about his innocence a bit better. It will be interesting see what they do with this new Meta and if it ties into a larger story. Also, the Flash is officially coming back for season 9. Flash and Superman & Lois got the green light for their next seasons. We're still waiting to see what happens with Legends of Tomorrow, Naomi and Batwoman. In non-Flash news, the Morbius director decided that the best way to get people to see his movie was to...spoil it? Bold move Cotton... Kriss and Dpalm record the Mailbag at the end of every month.

This episode of the Flash was pretty straight forward. The show has figured out how to deal with a more mature Barry with a very elevated power level without completely breaking the show. We also have some thoughts on how this season/series might end with the mystery around what's happening with Iris. We also talk about some of the upcoming comic events coming for DC & Marvel and the director of Moon Knight calling out the Director of Black Adam for not making the movie more diverse.  Kriss and Dpalm record the Mailbag at the end of every month.

The only live action Flash we're getting in 2022 is back. With news that The Flash movie is delayed...again, that leaves Season 8 (and potentially Season 9) of CW's The Flash the only version we're getting. It seems like the merger between Discovery & WarnerMedia is leaving a lot of things in flux right now. Normally the CW shows are all renewed by now butt so far nothing really is. There is news that Grant Gustin is locked in for a Season 9 but no announcement that the Season is actually renewed. So with that in the backdrop, we have the show returning after it's very long break after only 5 episodes. This episode focuses on the kids, Nora and Bart. We get to to see what this show would be like if it transitioned to new leads and you know what? Not bad. It was fun to see Bart & Nora working to restore the timeline, even though we know there is still something weird going on. The question becomes, whose making the time changes? Nora being the calm steady one while Bart struggles that he's not good enough to one day take on the mantle of the Flash was a great way to have some familiar beats with new characters. With everything in flux this season is apparently being written as a series finale. We'll see how everything pans out. Kriss and Dpalm record the Mailbag at the end of every month.

Legends of Tomorrow hasn't been renewed yet for Season 8 but we hope it does. We really want to see how the introduction of Booster Gold goes on the show because there's so many fun things they could do. But even outside of that, this was a really great season that really did a great job exploring different aspects of the characters and letting them grow. Episode 12 could have served as a series finale in a way, giving the Legends a glimpse of what their lives could be if they moved on from being heroes. But in the end, the Legends show that if their individual happiness comes at the expense of someone else's, particularly a member of their family, they won't hesitate to give it all up to help. For as silly as this show goes, it does a really great job of growing characters and completely embracing inclusion storylines. The moment when Sara doesn't even hesitate to call evil Gideon a fascist was a prime example. This show doesn't try to "both sides" the issues or sit on the fence. It constantly makes genuine stances and does it unapologetically. And for that, we love it. Kriss and Dpalm record the Mailbag at the end of every month.

So this is what happens when we don't check the release schedule for Legends of Tomorrow. Apparently while we thought we were going to be reviewing the last 2 episodes of the season, turns out those episodes haven't aired yet because the show has been on break for 2 weeks. Oops.  But out mistake is your benefit as we decided to still hop on the mic and chat. This isn't really a Mailbag episode because we don't read any emails but we do talk about some of the latest news items that popped up the last couple of weeks. From the super terrible Comixology app update to Evangeline Lilly's decent into bad takes to DAT DOC STRANGE TRAILER. We're here to discuss it all. We'll be back in March to wrap up Legends of Tomorrow and start the Flash so stay tuned for that.  If you want to send in your own questions and thoughts, email us: Mailbag@MTRNetwork.Net   Like what you hear?
