This is dedicated to Texas, Louisiana swamps and Mother Russia! It's been four long weeks since the collapse of Clark's fortress. Here's what's happening: Clark has been slanging black market seafood in a Russian work camp. Oliver, AC and Dinah fight to reunite with their Boy Scout. Chloe has new powers and is loving it. Lois is now ten times hotter. LuthorCorp's new CEO arrives and has red hair...coincidence? Not likely. Cassidy Freeman (The Righteous Gemstones, Longmire) makes her Smallville debut as new series regular Tess Mercer. Justin Hartley, Alan Ritchson and Alaina Huffman all make their return as DC Comics original characters Green Arrow (Oliver Queen), Aquaman (Arthur Curry) and Black Canary (Dinah Lance), respectively.
Bat Therapy: Psychology of Batman and other Comic Superheroes
Archery is an excellent way to practice meditation and mindfulness. We imagine ourselves as Green Arrow / Oliver Queen, bouncing tennis balls and shooting them with arrows.
Stephen Amell was the Green Arrow/Oliver Queen on the CW superhero series, “Arrow,” and now he's Jack Spade on the new Starz scripted pro-wrestling drama, “Heels.” Stephen talks about the story, the role, and what it was like working with writer/director Michael Waldron. Stephen also recounts his real-life wrestling experience at WWE, ROH, and AEW! He talks about his friendship with Cody Rhodes, how Christopher Daniels helped him in the ring at ROH, the invite he got from the Young Bucks to participate in All In, and the feedback he received from Triple H after a specific WWE house show. Stephen also shares the story about meeting Vince McMahon, and the move he tried to steal from Jericho to use in episode 1 of “Heels!”

We're kicking off 2020 by covering the Emerald Archer himself, Oliver Queen. With Arrow on CW coming to a close soon, we thought it would be a great time to talk about Oliver Queen. Green Arrow is another character from DC Comics that has his origins all the way back to the Golden Age. First appearing in More Fun Comics #73 in November 1941 along side his sidekick Speedy (Roy Harper).If you remember back to our history of comics episode, it was comics like Action Comics or Detective comics or in the case of Green Arrow, More Fun Comics, that hosted the first appearances and origins of some of the characters we know. More Fun Comics also had the notable first appearances and origins of: Doctor Fate Green Arrow & Speedy Superboy Aquaman Golden Age Green Arrow was nothing more than an archer version of Batman. Interesting enough though the character survived relatively in tact with the transition to the Silver Age. Whereas Golden Age Green Lantern (Alan Scott) and Golden Age Flash (Jay Garrick) were replaced with new Silver Age characters (Hal Jordan and Barry Allen respectively), Oliver Queen transitioned from Golden to Silver much like Superman and Batman. The Silver Age is where we get the more modern idea of Green Arrow/Oliver Queen thanks to Neal Adam's art and Denny O'Neil's writing. The liberal leanings of Oliver Queen not only become central to the character but it's also where the real separation between Bruce Wayne/ Batman and Oliver Queen/Green Arrow become clearly defined. We wrap up this first part of our deep dive with Mike Grell's excellent run followed by the last 20 issues of Oliver's second solo series leading up to his death in Green Arrow 101. We have a lot to discuss so give the episode a listen and stay tune for Part 2 where we pick up with Kevin Smith's run all the way through Benjamin Percy's Rebirth run.

This episode, we discuss Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. [CAUTION: SPOILERS IN THIS EPISODE] If you haven't seen The Last Jedi yet and you don't particularly want to hear any spoilers, it's best you avoid this episode of the podcast. Otherwise, ENJOY! We hope you enjoy your festive breaks and have a safe and happy new year. Quick edit: We mention Justin Hartley playing Green Lantern/Oliver Queen on Smallville but we were obviously referring to him playing Green Arrow/Oliver Queen. Kushal's age is clearly catching up with him.
