Homelander is the greatest gift to this oversaturated super powered genre. A Superman who doesn't give a shit about you or your family but fights for himself and his reputation instead. And to top it all off "Superman" leads a selfish, above the law, and corrupt "Justice League" who's job is to protect us from criminals and Super Terrorists from around the world.

Who would have thought such a crude and silly show would get diversity right. Chainsaw wielding Ash is hunting down Deadites yet again but this time with his two young friends, Pablo, an illegal Honduran immigrant with special Brujo powers and Kelly, a Jewish Badass who has vowed revenge on the Evil Dead. We talk how how special this show of comedy and gore is to us while also discussing the shows premature ending. Groovy. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wtu-pod/support

There IS a Latino superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and his name is (Robbie Reyes) The Ghost Rider. He is introduced in the fourth season of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D which has the most diverse cast of any Marvel show out there. Alex and Elmer talk about what a waste of potential it would be if Marvel gives up on actor Gabriel Luna's portrayal of The Ghost Rider and how this version of the character could replace the controversial Punisher as Marvel's new murdering vigilante since guns aren't exactly something Marvel wants to promote anymore. The time is now to push this already proven Latino Superhero. Come on, Marvel! Give us that Ghost Rider movie that's gonna make you bank with Robbie Reyes. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wtu-pod/support
