They talk about origins of the legacy characters and how the new series views them through a different point of view. They debate the merits of the various younger characters and their storylines. They also get into the themes of the series, larger than life storytelling, and how important being the All Valley Champion really is. They also reveal what they want to see in the final season of the series.

Superman and Lois Season 3Superman and Lois season 4 has already premiered, so we have some catching up to do with our review of season 3! In this action-packed episode we discuss the introduction of Bruno Manheim and Intergang into the narrative. We also talk about the very real plotline around cancer and how Superman faces an enemy that he can’t defeat. We also debate the merits of a tougher, less intellectual Lex Luthor. Along the way we discuss teenagers with powers, family dynamics, dealing with physical illness and it’s effect on mental health, how scary a Superman at the end of his tether can be, and giving people their space.

She HulkShe-Hulk: Attorney at Law is the first attempt to do a comedy series within the MCU. In this episode we take a deep dive on the She Hulk series. We discuss how the show fits within the greater context of the MCU as well as how well it lives up to the various comic series that it’s adapting. We talk about the characters and how the story of Jennifer Walters may resonate with fans. We also address the many guest characters used by the series and how well we think that they were showcased in the series. We also get into the plotlines and what we think will matter later on. We end by discussing whether we’d like to see a season two of the series.

The 42cast Episode 209: Kicking the Habit

October 7, 2024 by Dastari Leave a Comment

The Flash Season 9It’s the end of an era as we come to the very last season of the very last Arrowverse series as we discuss the final season of The Flash. It’s ten years to the day that the series premiered, so it feels especially fitting that we do this topic. In this episode we talk about how this is the culmination of the entire Arrowverse. We discuss the many, many misses of Arrowverse story elements that should have been wrapped up. We review the various guest stars that appeared in the season and debate which worked and which didn’t. We confer on how the story elements worked, and we opine on whether this felt like a fitting culmination for Nine years of the Flash. We end by considering whether we’d want James Gunn to allow an Elseworlds anthology series or direct-to-streaming movie, so that the various plot threads can be tied up.

Give it a listen and let us know what you think!

October 2, 2024 by Dastari Leave a Comment

Umbrella AcademyIn this episode we review the first three seasons of the popular Netflix series, The Umbrella Academy. We give our opinions on all aspects of this series. We discuss the characters and their unusual relationships and personality quirks for a superhero series. We talk about the plots and how they cleverly set up conflicts and resolutions that one may not expect. We also get a little into the comics and how they can provide some context for things that they do or don’t do in the TV series. It all ends with a conversation about how we’d want the show to end.
