March 06, 2019 16:30 - 51 minutes - 23.9 MBAfter a brief hiatus, the Speedy Arrowcast is back. This week, things are jam-packed, but we’ve got questions. What’s the deal with the Diggle lineage? How do authorized vigilantes work, exactly? How come people feel the need to explain the feelings we just saw them have? Plus, we know we didn’t start the fire, but who did? And, in a brief Superhero Sweep, Guy discusses his personal superhero, and we talk Spider-Verse and Captain Marvel anticipation. To subscribe to all our Arrow-related ...
539: Star Trek: Discovery S2E7 Review: "Light and Shadows"
March 01, 2019 03:20 - 49 minutes - 23.2 MBVulcan Hello returns, but one of our favorite recurring segments ends when we finally find who we’ve been looking for! Plus, get ready for some frickin’ time rifts, Sarek’s sweet shuttlecraft pad, Michelle Yeoh’s kicks, and a shocking final revelation.

February 22, 2019 03:27 - 49 minutes - 23.1 MBThe hovering murder cylinder is on the other foot now, Ba’ul! In this episode we explore Saru’s new perspective on the Prime Directive, Pike’s measured responses to creepy voice-only hails, and the transformation of the Red Murderball into something that’s posthumously useful! Also, we get a closer look at the Red Angel (Jason’s feeling confident), and we have to debate whether the trailer for next week’s episode fits our Spotting Spock criteria.
536: Daredevil S3E7 Review: "Aftermath"
February 19, 2019 03:00 - 56 minutes - 39 MBHere is the episode of experimentation you have been waiting for. Golden Tony steps in to Hell’s Kitchen cold as ice. Tony agreed not watch any episodes of season 3, mostly because he is behind on some of his Marvel TV and the guy is just busy. The experiment was not without flaws, but the results should be on the record for your listening satisfaction. Moze was worried that “Aftermath” could be a furniture moving episode and become a flatline of interest for Tony. Was the hypothesis corr...
535: Star Trek: Discovery S2E5 Review: "Saints of Imperfection"
February 19, 2019 00:15 - 37 minutes - 17.5 MBThis week Section 31 collides with the Discovery, and the Discovery collides with the mycelial network. A lost soul is found! Jason does a victory lap at the mention of tachyons! And still no Spock.

The Speedy Arrowcast assembles its crack team of newly deputized vigilantes to track down important topics like who the hell uses a darkroom anymore, unexplained murderer monikers, Schrödinger’s children, multiple unexpected bombshells including a high-profile departure, and how to earn a good surprise reveal. (Basically, it’s jam-packed and you don’t want to miss it!) Plus, in Superhero Sweep we discuss a quartet of new animated shows coming from ...
533: Arrow S7E12 Review: "Emerald Archer"
February 08, 2019 17:00 - 1 hour - 29.1 MBThis week on the Speedy Arrowcast, we’re filming a documentary! It’s getting into all the dark corners and pulling out important topics like why you should always go for the cost-effective vigilante costume, why it’s always nice to see old friends, and of course, foreign affairs from the early 1900s. Plus an abbreviated Superhero Sweep where we talk Avengers: Endgame conspiracy theories and Batwoman casting. To subscribe to all our Arrow-related content, check out this feed: http://feeds.t...
532: Star Trek: Discovery S2E4 Review: "An Obol for Charon"

The stakes are now rising as Matt continues his mission to shine a light on the Kingpin’s plans. Fisk, as always, is a few steps ahead of the game and introduces a new fly in the ointment—a Dexdevil.
529: Star Trek Discovery S2E3: "Point of Light"
February 01, 2019 03:04 - 44 minutes - 20.5 MBA very different kind of episode this week, as “Star Trek: Discovery” beams in three different plots. Do we really need more Klingons? What’s happening in the search for Spock? And is Tilly’s friend a friendly ghost or a dangerous alien spore blob? It’s also time to bring back the conspiracy corner segment, because Jason has some theories about the Red Angel.
528: Arrow S7E11 Review: "Past Sins"
January 30, 2019 16:30 - 1 hour - 30.1 MBThis week on the Speedy Arrowcast, we assemble a squa—initiative of the most dangerous podcasters to cover important topics like charming Earth 2 fashion choices, why you should always mug for the camera, and how electricity works.

January 27, 2019 00:41 - 42 minutes - 19.7 MBThe Bad Place has a new trick, which is to torment Team Cockroach by choosing residents designed to make them crazy. A gossip columnist for Tahani, an ex for Chidi and… an erased Chidi for Eleanor! The season three finale is the saddest timeline.
525: Star Trek: Discovery S2E2 Review: "New Eden"
January 25, 2019 02:37 - 34 minutes - 16 MBThis week the Discovery takes a spore jump to a mysterious human colony deep in the Beta Quadrant, Pike and Burnham joust about science and religion, Tilly drinks too much espresso and tries to replace Stamets with a space rock, and Saru gets a chance to practice his “Glare ‘n’ Care” management philosophy. And on our podcast, Scott introduces a new segment that somehow we didn’t call “The Search for Spock,” even though we probably should have.
524: Arrow S7E10 Review: "My Name Is Emiko Queen"
January 23, 2019 16:15 - 1 hour - 29.8 MBThe hiatus is over, and that means it’s time for the Speedy Arrowcast to reassemble and discuss the latest episode of our Star City superhero soap. This week, we cover important topics like maintaining good OPSEC, the controversial inverse Konmari process, legally distinct squads of the suicidal nature, and chain of evidence? What chain of evidence? Plus, in our Superhero Sweep segment, we cover two film iterations of Spider-Man, as well as running down why Aquaman was more Aquameh. To su...

522: The Masked Singer S1E1-2: Breaking News From the Unicorn
January 21, 2019 23:58 - 56 minutes - 31.4 MBHello and welcome to the recap/kneecap podcast for Fox show The Masked Singer! Blame Kelly Guimont, who mentioned one of her guesses to Moises Chiullan which started them talking and then Kathy Campbell weighed in and it was really just a question of time before someone hit record. Come for the performances, stay for Ken Jeong’s jabs at other hosts!
521: The Good Place S3E11 Review: "Chidi Sees the Time-Knife"
January 19, 2019 18:19 - 44 minutes - 20.3 MBIs it possible for anyone to be good enough to get in to the Good Place? The gang is about to find out. They create a new neighborhood in the Medium Place and try with four new cockroaches… but Sean and Vicky threaten to ruin it all.
520: Star Trek: Discovery S2E1 Review: "Brother"
January 18, 2019 03:31 - 43 minutes - 20.4 MB“Star Trek: Discovery” is back and so are Scott and Jason. We discuss Captain Pike and his uniform, Tilly’s chatter, Burnham’s family issues, the decor of Spock’s quarters, and much more!

January 18, 2019 01:43 - 33 minutes - 15.7 MBMichael and the gang are four Oreos away from heaven, but they haven’t escaped their troubles. The Committee, unintended consequences, crying while British…It’s so upsetting, I’m gonna try to shake my fist at you!
518: Voltron: Legendary Defender S8 review
January 14, 2019 04:50 - 1 hourThe stakes couldn’t have been bigger inside the story—or outside in the fandom, for that matter! For the last-ever Voltron: Legendary Defender panel on TeeVee, we wade into the controversies over Season 8 with fans and critics of how the series ended. Plus, at least one regular panelist takes a victory lap regarding vehicle mecha…
517: Daredevil S3E5 Review: "The Perfect Game"
January 08, 2019 01:41 - 47 minutes - 21.8 MBWhat do you do when your main character is at the bottom of the East River? Easy, you let all other characters grow and to increase the richness of the narrative. At least that’s what should happen. Jason Snell is on the mound to see if Moze can get a hit. This episode shows just how powerful Wilson Fisk is and what it means if he gets into your head—like he’s done to Dex.
516: Star Trek: Discovery Short Treks #4 Review: "The Escape Artist"
January 04, 2019 22:18 - 19 minutes - 9.41 MBThere are only two weeks until season 2 of “Star Trek: Discovery” commences, but in the meantime we’ve got our favorite of the four “Short Trek” films to discuss. Rainn Wilson returns as Harry Mudd(s)! We learn why rich people wear caps, that the path to a Tellarite’s heart is through its tusks, and that you should always remember where you parked.

514: Supergirl S4E09 Review: "Elseworlds"
December 22, 2018 07:56 - 1 hour - 46.5 MBNo time for a clever synopsis; too much to cover. It’s crossover time!
513: Star Trek: Discovery Short Treks #3 Review: "The Brightest Star"
December 19, 2018 00:57 - 27 minutes - 12.9 MBScott and Jason return to discuss the third “Short Trek” preceding the return of “Star Trek: Discovery,” in which we learn Saru’s origin and why Kelpiens are not commonly seen in Starfleet. Along the way we discuss hovering murder cylinders, food courts and gazebos, and the recently released final trailer for season two.
512: Daredevil S3E4 Review: "Blindside"
December 15, 2018 21:50 - 1 hour - 29 MBHere we go the episode that caused panelists to hate Guy English almost as much as Moze. It’s time for the trademark long-take fight scene that Daredevil set the bar for so long ago. Was it as good as seasons past? Per the usual format, Guy and Moze step away from the episode and discuss events that impact our red friend and postulate when we will see him again. If we do, will it be the cast we have grown to love?
511: Review: "Elseworlds"
December 15, 2018 03:50 - 1 hourWorlds collide and strange things are afoot at the Circle K! The Speedy Arrowcast convenes with a daunting task, taking on the entirety of the CW’s three-part superhero crossover, Elseworlds. We discuss why it’s great to see Ollie lighten up, a long-awaited reveal about the STAR Labs pipeline, and many, many Batman references. Plus, a teaser of next year’s crossover has us wondering what is in store for DC’s multiverse cosmology. And, to round it all out, we cross over to the Marvel universe ...

December 14, 2018 03:00 - 38 minutes - 17.9 MBDon’t worry if you forgot to bring your bananas—this episode is full of them.

509: Supergirl S4E08 Review: "Bunker Hill"
December 10, 2018 03:49 - 39 minutes - 24.3 MBPlot points: Nia Nal’s powers are revealed. Manchester Black’s creepy horror movie home invasion Agent Liberty’s poor choice of secret hideouts on his own property The new President isn’t evil, but is a bit of a populist ass. Discussion points: What does “Cards up” mean? The possibility of weaponized shouting and/or spit in the right Superhands. The incredible durability of Lockwood Steel (nicely surviving a Super drop test) Supergirl winning the battle but losing the PR war.
508: The Good Place S3E9 review: "Janet(s)"
December 10, 2018 03:02 - 29 minutes - 13.5 MBIn Janet’s void, everyone is D’arcy Carden. Think Funny Tatiana Maslany in a blank, white space. It causes Eleanor to have an identity crisis, which is calmed by a momentous smooch. Michael and Janet pull the gang through to Accounting, then send them up a pneumatic tube to the ACTUAL FORKING GOOD PLACE!
507: The Good Place S3E8 Review: "Don't Let The Good Life Pass You By"
December 10, 2018 02:46 - 31 minutes - 14.4 MBMichael and Janet discover the system is rigged by spending time in Canada with miserable, point-confined Doug Forcett (and kicking Shawn/demon butt). Eleanor expresses her love to Chidi just as the gang absconds to Janet’s void. By dying! NBD.
506: Doctor Who S11E10 Review: "The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos"
December 10, 2018 02:44 - 44 minutes - 20.8 MBThe Series 11 finale is here! Annette Wierstra joins Jason to discuss the season as a whole and the final episode in particular. How does Graham’s story arc resolve? Does the plot matter? Is the villain particularly villainous? Can dimensionally transcendent beings be impressed by a TARDIS? It’s the last Doctor Who Flashcast of 2018, but the moment has been prepared for. See you on New Year’s Day!
505: Legends of Tomorrow S4E7 Review: "Hell No, Dolly!"
December 06, 2018 16:15 - 35 minutes - 16.5 MBNot unlike the Legends themselves, the Legendscast takes a somewhat non-linear approach to episodes, returning from their travels to cover the latest episode of the time-traveling misfits, which includes a surprisingly interesting look at resident criminal Mick, a murderous puppet, and a mustache that no one will soon forget.

504: Arrow S7E7-8 Review: "The Slabside Redemption/Unmasked"
December 05, 2018 15:40 - 1 hour - 39.1 MBThis week, we three Green Arrows have returned with a double whammy and plenty of big developments for our favorite Emerald Archer. Key discussion topics include not-so-secret identities, what to do when your wife shoots someone in your living room, the mystery of the disappearing Dig, and how archery trick shots can make up for so many woes. Then, in our Superhero Sweep, we run (haha) down the teaser for this year’s Elseworlds crossover and get pumped up for the arrival of Captain Marvel. ...
503: Supergirl S4E07 Review: "Rather the Fallen Angel"
December 04, 2018 05:46 - 31 minutes - 25.1 MBThis week, the episode is all about plans! Lena trying to give Subject-0331 powers Agent Liberty trying to kill Supergirl and blow up the “Statue of Liberty for Aliens” Manchester Black’s trading Supergirl’s life for a chance to kill Agent Liberty. Do the plans all make sense? We’ll leave it to you to decide. (But the answer is no.)
502: Doctor Who S11E9 Review: "It Takes You Away"
December 03, 2018 01:01 - 39 minutes - 18.5 MBAs the season nears its end, we discuss an episode featuring a blind girl, a cabin in the woods, a mysterious mirror, and a missing father. There are also, surprisingly, a creepy Farscape-style labyrinth, flesh moths, and a nigh-omnipotent talking frog whose name is disappointingly not Calgon.
501: Supergirl S4E06 Review: "Call to Action"
November 28, 2018 02:19 - 52 minutes - 40.3 MBIn this episode, Lena makes a discovery while failing to cure cancer, Manchester Black takes to torture, Ben Lockwood takes to TV, and Supergirl talks down a dragon. Meanwhile, Brainy is still mostly comic relief but does get to have one great operatic fight.
500: Daredevil S3E3 Review: "No Good Deed"
November 27, 2018 02:42 - 1 hour - 28 MBWelcome to the 500th episode of TeeVee, Woot Woot! For this grand occasion, Moze reached deep into our pocket of talent to give the listeners The King of Scotland, James Thomson. We gathered our thoughts on just who is the best Bullseye and the impact it may have on Marvel canon. We also pose the question, “Will you pay for Disney Streaming?” As per usual Moze has predictions for the season and James neither confirms nor denies his mystical powers of narrative. Capping off James and Moze g...
499: Doctor Who S11E8 Review: "The Witchfinders"
November 26, 2018 23:08 - 46 minutes - 21.6 MB“Doctor Who” ventures to Lancashire’s Pendle Hill this week for a story of King James, witch trials, and alien mud zombies. Jason’s guest is Lancashire’s own Antony Johnston (writer of Atomic Blonde, Wasteland, and The Fuse), who gives this episode a bit of a fact-check. But most of the time we’re just talking about how much we enjoyed Alan Cumming’s performance, the logistics of a three-companion TARDIS, and the merits of Chris Chibnall’s very different vision of the show.
498: Arrow S7E6 Review: "Due Process"
November 21, 2018 16:45 - 1 hour - 29.3 MBThis week, team Speedy Arrowcast is in and out of prison. We discuss why humanity is always on the line, weird decisions in cybersecurity, questionable law practices, and the lightheartedness that only an international mob boss can bring. In our Superhero Sweep segment, it’s a preview of this year’s DC crossover event, as well as some anticipation for the final season of Gotham.

497: Doctor Who S11E7 Review: "Kerblam!"
November 19, 2018 20:14 - 31 minutes - 14.6 MBWe’re going to be honest: We really didn’t like this week’s “Doctor Who” episode, which looked like it was going to be a clever critique of Amazon and turned out to be an episode with a lot of ambition that collapsed into a confused heap. If you liked this episode, you might want to skip our podcast! But if you want to listen to two guys tear this episode apart, you’ve come to the right place.
496: Daredevil S3E2 Review: "Please"
November 18, 2018 20:59 - 52 minutes - 23.9 MBMuch apologies for the delay on episodes, but fear not, we are back on schedule for your listening delight. Sean and Moze look at where this episode digs into the characters and where this season will begin to shape what they will become. We also digress to the overall Netflix universe and what will happen to the Marvel Television Universe.
495: Supergirl S4E05 Review: "Parasite Lost"
November 18, 2018 17:22 - 46 minutes - 29.2 MBBrainy continues to be the butt of jokes! Kara is truly terrible at journalism and it mystifies our panel how the writers get this so wrong so often. There were also things our panel enjoyed.
494: Arrow S7E5 Review: "The Demon"
November 14, 2018 17:00 - 1 hour - 28.5 MBThe whole team’s headed down to Level Two this week, as we continue our search into Diaz’s mysterious connection…the Demon. We discuss the excellence of logical but surprising twists, how to correctly describe technical endeavors, and where our villain of th season might be headed. In our Superhero Sweep segment, we pay homage to the late Stan Lee and educate John about an important Batman villain.

493: Star Trek: Discovery Short Treks #2 Review: "Calypso"
November 13, 2018 01:16 - 28 minutes - 13.4 MBIs it Taco Tuesday yet?

492: The Good Place: S3E6-E7 Review
November 12, 2018 21:06 - 30 minutes - 14 MBThe ladies of Team Cockroach talk Eleanor, Tahani, mothers, sisters, life lessons and technical difficulties.
491: Doctor Who S11E6 Review: "Demons of the Punjab"
November 12, 2018 02:00 - 48 minutes - 22.7 MBThis week “Doctor Who” returns to difficult moments in 20th Century history, this time during the partition of India. There are (unnecessary?) aliens, but of course, the real monsters are the human beings. Jason welcomes Jean MacDonald to break down an emotional episode.
