Welcome to Nail Plosges the Clap coming to you from the original Clap Cave. You and I haven't done just you and me at the apartment for quite a while. No, we have not. And we are doing it at such a point in the day that in theory there will be no garbage fraud.

Yeah, no, I don't think the garbage fraud will chill out. Well, because we would do it like that. I think the limit is like Saturday morning. Sorry, yes, I'm going to get a letter from you.

Sorry, yes, I'm going to get a letter from you. Because Gedex would show Digimon, or Dragon Ball Z in the Digimon. Okay, that's probably more like 10th walk. I'll get here whenever I could.

Well, like I said, no, I don't think I'll have a garbage wrong this week. But yes, like I said, we're back at the original Clap Cave. Yes? Which is completely trash right now, but it's fine.

Well, that's why they don't raise your wint. Oh. Well, nobody's more than that, it doesn't smell and I just need a vacuum and do laundry. Nah, she's fine.

Well, yeah, but I mean, you know, like I have cats. So if it smelled like piss or shit, I'd be in trouble. But... I would assume it wouldn't be you.

Are you sure? No. No, I am not. But it is Deb and Doug kicking a gold tool?

Yeah, this is a real Bill House episode. Is that what we call them? So we should be talking about rape? That was a joke.

Oh my God, I wish you people could see a series of awkward faces. I have a segue to rape or... Yeah, to rape. I don't.

Do I? No, I don't. Let's go to the board. Do you want to sing a rape?

There you go. I recently re-watched the original Swedish version of the Girl of Dragon's Hat, which is pretty good. They still think the guy that they cast is Michael... The American one.

Which I think is a much better fit because in the book he's described as a very attractive lipario type of dude. And in a Swedish movie he just seems kind of overly sad. Like most people in Swedish movies ever. However, I actually really did.

Or chefs. I do really enjoy that trilogy. There's a reason why I re-watched it. I have not read the newest book in the series, the one that was written after he died.

But was it son or wife or something? He was never married. And his family completely fucked over his partner of like 15 years. Right.

But there's so many unanswered questions. I'm almost scared to read that book because I don't want to know if completely fucks everything up. But the lead character has a twin sister. Why learn the tattoo is I'm a dragon.

You're going to see her quietly to realize what you did. That was really funny. So call back to an earlier episode. What was the worst plan you ever made about me in my apartment?

Oh the... The girl with the dragon cat too? Yeah, because your cats... What are your cats?

The dragon. Well, the dragon man. The girl. Yeah.

But uh... That was our first episode of those when the first time I ever read. Yeah, first or second. That was our first episode.

Because I was talking about things that translate. Right. I got rich confused over to Tina's pizza. As a...

Well, I was very specific about the brand of pizza she bought. So am I supposed to associate this with something? And then I got confused because I thought it was the teen that was but it wasn't. It was a Swedish 13-0.

Well, I don't know if that's Swedish 13-0's though. I assume it's Swedish 13-0's. But still. But I think...

And the only Swedish girl I know has been in Sweden for like 15 years. So she can tell me. Yeah, so she can't. There's no young.

I mean she can give me parameters. Yeah, she has been in Sweden for 15 years. So... Hmm?

Okay. Things we're going to talk about this week. I didn't do shit. I think I should go through three-watched three seasons of Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

The ass holds up. I would imagine it was. I actually dropped off after I think the... Second?

Yeah, probably the second season. I actually didn't realize they just already started airing the third season. I mean, it popped up on my Hulu when I was like... When they moved it's night from Friday to Tuesday, it kind of really threw me off.

Just because I wasn't looking for it anymore. However, it still is solid season, season three. And it still is actually pretty funny original. Because they were going through the last time I watched it.

They were going through a rotating cast of captains. Oh no, they've changed that. So at the end of season two, both the captain and the re-detective... Prote.

Jake, there we go. Jake rolled up. They had to go to witness protection. And so the opening of the third season is them being Mr.

and Florida, which by the way is fucking hilarious, especially since Jake has frosted tips. Yeah, no. That's horsediness. Like I said, I can see your face.

I'll have the binge on the last episode and watch. Like I said, they had to go into witness protection in Florida. And what they're trying to do is oddly enough throughout this mafia, I was going to say, boss called Figgus. Yes, that's his name, Figgus.

And I do make jokes inside my head all the time. For Marcher. Thank you. So they end up throwing him out and they have a whole encounter inside basically the shitty Florida version of the Chuck E.

Cheese. I love it. Yeah, but like I said, so what happens is they call in the spot, everybody comes, everything's fine. Their captain at the time is Ken Marino.

Yes, who is after the guy who plays mayhem on all of the All State commercials. Oh yeah. His nickname on the show is the Vulture. I can't think of the Afters name.

Well, and he was in Oz and all that. No, he's a great actor. He was a great actor. He played Liz's ex-boyfriend.

Yeah, what I've done. He told me. I can't think of that afters name. Yeah, it was the Irish white supremacist on...

So yes, after Captain and Peralta get put into witness protection in Florida, Ken Marino becomes the captain. He's completely incompetent at it. And when they finally draw him out, they call all the squad to help him in Florida. And Ken Marino's punishment to them when they come back is putting them all in the night shift.

Oh my god, I totally want to see that. No, it's a great... Like I said, no, it's fantastic. What's happened recently is the most recent episode was the Thanksgiving episode where Jake have to meet his girlfriend's father played by Jimmy Smith.

Is he still dating? What's your name? Yes. The straight-laced one guy.

They're still together, which I actually really like. I like that they have a long way to do. But they're not. Yeah, they're not.

Also, Rosa is still dating. Yeah. They're the captain, Matthew, or whatever. No, she broke up with Nick Cannon a while ago.

Oh. What the fuck she did? She was dating Nick Cannon the last time I saw her. Oh god, you have so much to catch up on it, it's so awesome!

Okay, then I'm not gonna spoil it for you. But I do like that they actually have long relationships on the show. And it doesn't fuck up the dynamic of the characters. I also still love Rosa and Terry Cruz.

I love Rosa. As in, that's the way you should've sold her. I'm sorry, Chelsea Paredy and fucking Chilid Turno are still so fucking cool. Is there a stunt sibling's now?

Yes. Like I said, the parents got married and I loved it. Chelsea Paredy's small with Sandra Bernhardt. Oh yeah, it makes sense.

And his dad is like someone else. His dad is super death cargo. No, his dad is super monkey death cargo. Exactly, super monkey death cargo from News Radio.

Do you not remember that? I didn't watch a whole lot of News Radio. Oh, he was, you should. Like I said, he was the boss on News Radio and at some point he wrote...

Oh, he was melting in office space. Yeah, but like I said, in News Radio at some point he writes a memoir. And the translation of it in like Chinese and super monkey death cargo. That's fantastic.

That's why you should watch News Radio. I mean, like I said, no, you need to watch the third season. It totally holds up. I really think that moving it from the comedy block on Sunday or this series a lot.

I'm moving it more to a sitcom. But like I said, Chelsea Paredy, before I knew I could get up here on my high horse. Clough. Clough.

And he's freaking Terry Crews. They all are really playing fictional versions of themselves. I mean, you still have Hitchcock and... Or...

Yes, or what go forth. That's his name. I'm just saying, you have the two quoke dumb fat detectives that somehow make it through the 70s high on Coke. Another high on pizza.

Definitely much. But like I said... It's off-cases. What's an entire episode about that?

I mean, totally saw cases. And the funny thing is... By falling upwards, but yeah. Like I said, the thing is that they actually do still manage to get a bunch of Fereal's police work in.

But it's such a good ensemble piece, especially since they have these super straightforward captain, who's crazy gay. He gay, who roll guard. Oh, Andre Brunner. Yeah, like I said, he plays it so straight-faced and so funny.

Well, that is... And then you have the episodes with his husband Kevin. Who is played by a character actor, um... I get the name Mark Evan Johnson or something like that.

But like I said, it's just... It's just perfect. It's perfect. But it's just such a smartly written ensemble piece.

Yeah. And I remember, I had his elegy pretty hard. I didn't like Sandberg. I don't like him.

I can take him in small doses. Which luckily for... I was like, we don't know 9-11. Brooklyn 9-9.

Brooklyn 9-9. He's part of the ensemble cast that it doesn't matter who you're watching. It's phenomenal. Okay, Joseph Hardy was part of the dance group called Florgasm.

Come on. Which is a reoccurring joke. I actually think they only make it a couple times. Now she's...

I can't remember the name of her new group. But I want to say it's something about Dorothy Parker, but it has to be a dance. Dorothy Parker? It's not dance.

Parkour! So... What else can I say? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to distract everyone talking about something awesome.

I actually... Yeah, what's the bottom? We have to go through invasion. I actually prefer vinging it as opposed to watching it episode.

Yeah, that's... Because it's kind of like works in record where you need to get locked into the world. At least two or three episodes. Like, take a month off, play catch up.

Just... Jake is a fucking ATB salesman with frosted tips in Florida undercover. So? Yeah, exactly.

Oh, I'll binge the next season. Like I said, Captain being part of the speed walking group with older ladies in Florida. I wish you people could see it. My jaw is to the floor.

Sounds fantastic. That I watch more. Like I said, he also works as a attendant. Like I said, the shitty Florida version of Chippy Cheese.

I think he's high all the time because he's so fucking straight faced. Who, they think the captain is? Yeah. Andre Bonner?

All the employees at the Chippy Cheese. Yeah, I think he's fucked up. What was... Like I said, there was some shirt he was wearing because something threw up on him and now I can't put that.

It was like Captain... No kind of anything. Okay. Let's move on.

Hey, Doc, what have you been doing this week? Hey, hey, girl. Oh, my girl. Not everyone's wrong.

Okay, fair enough. There's a lot. Not a lot. There's some they need to talk about.

I'm going to go through a few quick things and then we'll get deep into invasion. I haven't watched invasion, but I don't have any of it. No. But I mean, you know I don't like spoilers.

Oh, good. Because I'll be a lot of them. I've never minded spoilers. I think that's actually one of the only reasons why the podcast works because I don't go fuck about spoilers.

Well, uh, by the way, I thought about it. I'm still unsatisfied with the conclusion of Justified. We just like goes and raises as well. Yeah, except he doesn't really.

They're not together. He let her go. And the joker sucks. You knew he was one of the other.

Like you knew it was either Boyd, Crowder, or... I'm not upset that Boyd lived. I just think the storyline I did with him and his kid sucks. Raylin, not Boyd.

Well, Boyd doesn't know he has a kid. Can I have him watch it for a long time? Yeah, it's been like a year. Like I said, I thought about it recently.

Still pissed. Fair enough. Let's talk about what we're not pissed over. Bad lip-reading put out a new video.

Oh my God. I didn't want to like it. I liked it so much. Bad fucking song is going to be in my head for days.

Yoda singing about having his... Head poked by seagulls. Head poked by... They're going to poke your coconut.

Um... I wouldn't say well edited. I would say adequately edited. Because then I was like, the one where he's like, MWAH!

And then he comes back and then, MWAH! Okay, first of all, it's called Boomerang. Second of all, I thought it was hilarious. I didn't like it the first time you shot it.

I didn't because I thought bad lip-reading is about... Why did you smack a fish? Put a fish on my backpack. Just so you...

Oh, I forgot I did that. You want me to apologize. Um... The funny thing is that...

If you look back at this... My point is that, hold on. I want to say, my point is that bad lip-reading is based on almost a chronological... Like, this mantel of what they're doing.

And this one had cuts in editing and... A narrative. And I wasn't really thrilled with it. It was so funny.

And I realized, maybe that's the next step for them. Like, let's start, you know, doing stuff with narrative and not just like... Oh, it's damn near original content. What?

Well, damn near. It's a great respect. Oh, I said damn near, not. Like I said, but they made their own storyline with the existing things they had.

I'm just actually pretty cohesive. And really funny. Jump jump jump. Jump jump.

One back back. Yeah. I did that back. I forgot how I did that.

Breathe. Like that. And then the one where we called them a psycho-weener was awesome. It's interesting though, because if you think about the first Star Wars, Luke was such a fucking spoiled brat in that.

I had a little... It's kind of a whack. It's kind of a whack. It's a whack.

It's a whack. It's a whack. It's a whack. It's a whack.

It's a whack. It's a whack. It's a whack. Yeah.

Is that a whack that they've ever seen? Ah. A whack that we've seen? That's a whack.

No. He's done his way. He's on his way. He's on his way.

He's not technically a Jedi until later. Until the turn of the Jedi? I was going to say. Until Harrison Foreg wakes up and says everyone has solutions to Grandeur.

What? You know, remember that line? After they know... I was going to say In Jabba's Palace Hut.

Huh. After they finally free him from the Karbonite when they're out by the pit. He's talking to Chewy, and Chewy says something about Luke being a Jedi Knight. And he does say it's Coron.

And he says, well... I think that actually might be my favorite Star Wars behind the fall time. I'm out of it for a while and everyone gets delicious and grandeur. It's a really good one.

It's very nihilistic. And it's extremely Han Solo. But wait, wait, I did re-watch Force Awakens. Anyone who thinks Han Solo is still alive?

No, no, he's not a real dead. Okay, get stabbed by lightsaber. Drop down a shaft. A thermal craft.

Not a dick drum. Can we talk about Force Awakens for a second? Hold on. And then that fucking kind of blows up.

Like, no, he's dead. He's real dead. He's super dead. Like, I'm sorry, mom.

I don't know what Han Solo is going to do. I wouldn't have thought about it. It's all about Finn and Rey and Poe. You're Poe.

And Poe. So all one syllable characters. And Luke, who's hanging out in Maryland? Cause that last fucking shot still takes me out of it.

I know it's been like a year and a half, two years. But that giant helicopter pan is still like, they're not on Dagobah. No, they're after the night. They're an hour of Dublin.

Like, what? Well, just the stonework and the stairs she's walking out is very, very Irish. But what I was going to say. Oh, I'm going to shut up.

Shut your fucking heart out. J-E-D-A-A. J-E-D-A-H-H-J-T-I. I still don't understand the scene where Kylo Ren takes off his helmet and slams it down and there's a bunch of fucking dust.

Why is there dust? Everything else is completely clinical. But when he slams it. That's not true.

Because Darth Vader's helmet's like a pilot, Dirk. Yeah, but it's also pretty sure it's automatically sealed. No, no, it's open. It's open.

I just re-watched it. Literally. Like I said, when Kylo takes his helmet off and slams it down and they have all the dust. He put the same ashtray that Vader's fucking elmets in.

Because you're telling me it's just the ashtray Vader. I wouldn't say that. You know, maybe he's a cigar fish or not. I don't know.

He seems like that kind of douche. He doesn't seem like the douche that's a cigar. No, I just like how you and I both thought about it. I'm like dusting like that kind of douche that's a cigar.

Yeah. Okay. Um. We have a thing.

Can I tell you how fucking hard I laughed when Poe tried to pull out the tiger? When Poe tried to take the tiger and it was chained to the wall. I laughed way too hard for that one. Because he's like, where?

Why? What? Is that what you're talking about? Yeah, pretty much.

Oh, you tried to steal a bike and there's a chain. And I'm like, motherfucker, your apocalypse. Just kill him or make a fucking machine girl and send her after them. They're some troopers.

They'll swarm all over that. Like, fly the honey. Is Thorntrooper is the mechanical pussy. I seem to say and did.

I really wish people could see you doing your weird hand gestures. Yeah, it's a lot of your hand gestures. Okay, let's move on. Uh, do you want to get into movies or do you want to get into a vision?

Well, can we just, because it's going to be quick with invasion. I don't care. You can do as many spoilers as you want. That's good.

Spoil everything. It's fine. We had the arrow, uh, flash, legends, Supergirl crossover. This week, um, which started the last time we recorded, actually.

Yeah, no, we mentioned it in passing. Um, well, now it's done. And was it good? High pitch voice?

Yeah! It's got pretty positive reviews, particularly the arrow part. We'll get to that. The arrow part, yes.

Flash part, yes. Supergirl, yes. No, I'm sorry. Supergirl, no.

And legends now. Okay, so it was half of it. It was an okay sandwich because you had no, okay, okay, no. It's an okay sandwich.

No, it's a no sandwich. The okay's in the middle. But I had a different sandwich by the brother by the what's inside of it. It actually depends on who you're asking and what kind of sandwich it is.

Right, so let's just call this an okay sandwich and not discuss sandwiches. Okay, we're gonna keep going from here. Just so you know, um, is cereal soup? We're not going into that.

It makes you angry every time I say it. I wouldn't say angry. So let's start with the first part. Supergirl, basically, I want to get into two things on this.

One, um, Supergirl's plot, uh, advancement on invasion was pretty much, she goes through the episode, a couple breaches happen, and then, betterly, you know, you know, and then Barry ends this one, come out of one. And she goes, oh Barry, that's it. Like, there's your, like, lighting the few is doing invasion is her just going, a couple breaches that didn't affect, like, let's talk about the fact that like, you're over Thanksgiving and we'll get to that moment. You're having Thanksgiving dinner, all your friends and family, and a breach hole in time and space opens up and then just closes and I go, well that was weird.

Can we ask some more cranberry relish? That just makes me think of the kishorama thing where the doctor, I was gonna say we're, I was gonna say we're, I was gonna say where the professor is dropping vendors' terrible food into the wormhole and it just drops back on the table with it. Yeah, like, it doesn't, like, it doesn't do anything, it doesn't advance the plot at all. They, okay.

Supergirl is one of the worst written shows I've ever watched. I, I trade a watch when I came to CW. I'm sorry. It is not good.

And here's why it is not good. Well, I binged the first season. I was unimpressed. This is why it's not, well, okay.

Then I'll add to that, because you said it's not good. I said I was unimpressed. This is why it's not good. So there's a plot line in the season that, uh, making Morse or, or Miss Martian, who's a white Martian, has infected John Jones, Martian manhunter, with her blood and he's turning into a white Martian, which, eh, makes sense, but sure.

Whatever. So he's like, I don't want to be, uh, I'm agreeing Martian. I don't want to be a white Martian. It exists.

But also that. All Martians count, all Martians matter. Huh? Also that hacker is a history of homophobia.

Who? Jim Jones. I can't think of the actor's name. Are you done with the black guy?

Yes. That's why you got fired from the reason I haven't. Holy shit. I didn't know that.

It was a T.R. or something. Sure. Don't need his name, but yeah, like I said, he claims it was a misunderstanding.

But still. He's like, no, no, you mistook me when I said I hate gays. No, he called one of his fellow actors fucking faggot. I would still never hire him for anything.

Okay. I just got done rewatching, uh, so sorry, man. Now I was going to say to America where it's the film actors guild. You know what?

That's one of my faggs. That's one of my big two though. I know. But, okay, so anyway, so my point is that like, Green Martian, Trington, white Martian, he's like, oh, I don't want other, War alike or whatever.

I don't know why I don't watch the show. I don't know why he doesn't want to become a different color Martian. Well, I kind of do because I wrote the comics. But.

He's like, you like the super hot, Eastern European girl from Star Trek Beyond? What? The Martian they need from Star Trek Beyond? Sure.

Whatever. I think the white Martians are pressing remarciants. Don't ask me, but that's not the point. So there's that and then, okay, so the real hand can shot, like the real cyborg Superman unleashes this Medusa virus that will only kill aliens, not humans, uh, and they're going to do that globally, uh, and they have to stop him and in the time it takes to stop him and build an antidote for the Medusa virus which is killing Monell who's a Daxamite, uh, which is like a cousin species of Kryptonian, um, I actually do know that.

Um, they're like, well, we were like reverse engineering this virus to make it cure for, you know, Monell and to save like super girl and all the other aliens. We found a cure for like the white Martian thing and you're okay. Like literally, you're okay moving on. It was so tight red her hands, it was fucking ridiculous.

They found it and they were like, and now you're okay and you're okay and you're okay. Like they made everyone okay in one episode. Um, and then- That's why we're not a big fan of the series because at least with the Flash and Arrow you get some kind of character arc where things don't get salt in one episode. Yeah, absolutely.

And one problem solved does not mean the other problem solved. Yeah, no completely. So, I mean, Speedy solved having some rage issues but now she has the bloodlust. And, okay, we'll get into the later but, um, it's the idea really here, but it's a huge stride in Arrow on the side.

Thank God, it's starting out for the last season, Liz. Um, but yeah, it is literally one of the worst written- not one of the worst written shows. Do you feel like maybe that their writers haven't settled in to being into- I think so. Okay, so, maybe we should give it another 10 episodes and see what happens.

No. I think I'll start watching on the third season when they- So, what I'm- Come into there like CW lakes. Like I said, I get that he's busy working on the cinematic universe but what you're telling me is maybe Jok-chan needs to combine- Oh, Jok-chan's got nothing to do with this. It's all great, Burlandi.

But Jok-chan's had a lot to do with the first few seasons of Arrow and Flash. Oh, he stepped in once in a while. Well, I said I get that he's now busy with the cinematic universe, which by the way, Duke gets your housing order. He will, but what I think is that Burlandi and company, um, so don't want to just go anyone else on that show.

But I think that they're trying to bridge the CBS and CW, um, sensibilities. You got a pointer. And I think it's conflicting. Like I said, they need to see us.

Yeah, exactly. Because there's so much that they can't see us. There's so many ways that we can take on more mature dialogue and themes and character development. You mean you can actually make her a person instead of a character?

I think we can- Well, the fact that like her- Like her love interest is Jimmy Olsen, who is now, I guess, also the Guardian, which makes no sense, but fuck it. It's eggs from True Blood. It is totally eggs from True Blood. I know, but all I can think of it is just Ben Terra because the Minotaur in your head said so.

Um, because that was the second season, right? Yeah, whatever. Um, but I think once it gets to the next season, if it gets another season. It's the CW to get another season.

I think that's a season I'm going to want to watch. You're right. They do need to get their CW legs. Yep.

Because there's so many things you can deal with on the CBS that they just wouldn't let you deal. It's like I've been to the first season to catch up, but I have to tell you, I just- I'm still- it's such a- fuck- I- I'm sorry, I hate legends. I hate it. I don't want to hate legends, but I do.

I love Sarah. I love, you know, it was a mistake. I love- I love Sarah. I love her.

We'll get into that later. But it's just one of those things where I- it's so hackney and the first season was handled so poorly. And Vandal Savage is a great villain for every once in a while, but they have his lead villain for the whole season. And it was terrible.

And it had all the hot girl, hot man stuff, and- Gah. Ugh. Like I said, I'm sorry, I hate legends. I hate it so much.

I love Katie Loss. I love white Canary. I fucking hate it so hard. What to do?

I can't believe they got another season considering how shitty the first season was. And I want Captain Cole back. Oh, you'll get him back. Well, you know what I mean though.

It's the part of the legend of doing this season. But it's just one of those things where they totally hobbled Captain Cole in the first season of the show. Well, the cool guy doesn't work like it used to. Well, that's your time, but please.

But you remember when they first had Heat Wave and Captain Cole? And those guns were fucking badass. Well, then it became closer to your hero. Like I said, this gun got shittier.

Sorry. So what's the life lesson there? Don't do your hero. It'll give you impotence.

We're going to put that on t-shirts? Yeah. I love actually. We're not even done this.

That was just the first part of the invasion. I'm sorry. I just wanted to rant about how much I hated legends. So Supergirl sucks.

Sorry. Also, they re-showed the scene of The Breaches and Berry Finding Cara at the very beginning of the episode of Flash that was invasion. So you could have skipped all of Supergirl, which I wish I would have. Just keep living your life.

Just keep living your life. The Flash episode of Invasion pretty much was a danger room session where they went. We're fighting aliens. And by the way, the Dominators are never- Since we don't want to talk about that name, did they?

Well, it was a crossover from the 80s. So, I mean, if you re-read or read Crisis on Infinite Earth from 1987, the word crisis comes up like every third sentence. Like, so naming stuff doesn't really hold up on this one. And I believe invasion was super late 80s, very early 90s at best.

Okay. They were aliens- Or at the same time as the Houston Texans. Oh no, the Houston Texans were way after that. Don't give me that.

Don't give me the sideline. The Dominators, effectively in the comics, are aliens that have had a professorial- I mean, professor. That means that they're prophetic. Yeah, prophetic.

Thank you. That's where we're looking for. A prophetic kind of science. No, like, I mean, every report science meets psychic vision.

Like, medians destroying them. Okay. So they seek the universe looking for anything with a metagen, or they find Earth with its rise of superpowers, both, like, Legion of Doom and Justice League, and they go, we're gonna fucking kill you. So you don't kill us, right?

Okay. It's a meme before you. Yeah. But any world they come across that doesn't have a metagen, they kind of annex and go- you're in our war to help.

Like, we literally will dominate you to help us against the war of the metagen. So that's the background of in the comics, the Dominators. In the show, they're aliens- They just called it the Dominators. Not the Dominators.

Well, but they do not. Okay. In the show, they're basically aliens who came down in the 50s and then killed some people and left. So they're coming around the back.

Because of the rise of superhumans, but that doesn't really come into play until part four. So they thought the eradative metagen, but they didn't. Another bad to take care of it. Oh, no, that's even better rating.

Like, they were just hearing the 50s. Like, they were just like, they were just like, yeah, they came down and then left for no reason. Now they're back for no reason. We think until part four.

Okay, you know that plot line in less than a minute. Yeah, it took them 45 seconds in the reddit's room. And this happened and this happened. Yeah, you really don't get to the heart of the Dominators until part four.

Of the four part one. You can put the Dominators in the speak as we angry. Give me that. Sorry, if you guys can hear that, don't stop playing with the white more race marker.

So in the flash part, basically they go, we're fighting aliens. What do we do? Flash says, well, I got our- we have our own alien. Cara Zorrell, super girl, who, Greeno doesn't trust, which we'll play out later on in the conversation.

And they basically like train to fight her, which makes no sense, because like- Well, if she's an alien, they're training to fight the aliens, and she's the only one they know. And there's a whole lot of like, they finally reveal- Did you hear the outro song from the Karate Kid? No, actually, you're the team- I hear the team America, like, gonna need a montage. Um, same difference.

But- You're a man. I'm a fake and a man and a man. So, basically they train against Cara Zorrell and they finally release what was, what Firestorm heard on the wave writer of like, future very going, I can't be trusted. Flash ones fucked everything up.

And they go, we vote very later, and Barry's like, oh shit, you have a message saying don't trust me, so Greeno becomes our leader. Yay! As it should be, like, I don't know why you wouldn't, but- Not only, all day every day. Do this- Do this- Do this- Do this- Oh, just do this- I really did like when Katie Lottz, who's now white can already did the Santa ladder for the first time.

And killed it. Nobody's just one of those things where I really like that they had, you know, the female equivalent. Someone that's just as physically powerful, but still super feminine. Damn.

There's videos of her online training for that. Good board. There's a lot of work that goes into doing a Santa ladder. You kidding me, it's all core, which we also have to have to have just a strong arms and it's like a balance and- I've got to be a lot of close together.

Yeah, it's all in your core, it's all in your butt and your thighs, because you have to do the swing to get the momentum going and plunge up anyway, sorry. Continue on. So, this episode ends with pretty much half the team brainwashed by the Dominators, which leads into the- Oh, that's why we train against an alien. Seems lazy.

Yeah, it was. So, bottom line that- This wasn't a musical, like they were threatened. They were threatened to do the Supergirl Flash crossover as musicals and spoken them worked on Glee. Is that where she's from?

Yeah. Oh, I know it. Yeah, I was going to say she was in the last season since she was a Glee, you know, granddad. And he was never a character.

I was going to say a series regular, but he was a guest at great deal. And the Flash part ends, so we're halfway through the invasion at this point. With him basically daring Supergirl to race him, which I thought was a nice nod to like the whole like Flash Superman or Supergirl like- From the- From the- From the Silver Age. It's like, let's fight out who's fastest.

No, I used to do that a lot, actually. He ended up driving her into the mind control machine gem thing and releasing them and then they all apologize and everything's okay. Type radar ends. And that ends with all of the humans from this team being abducted.

Hi, Victor. Hi, Victor. So, the Arrow episode. We're going to actually get a little deep into this one.

The Arrow episode is the best review of the launch. Yeah, it's a hundredth episode. So basically all of the humans that got abducted from the Flash part of invasion, you've got speedy- All the- All the- All the- I said the array. Yes, speedy.

Full- It wasn't there. There was another one there. Mr. Terrific is in the Arrow cave.

Sorry, that was- Yeah. We'll talk about Miles Teller later. But basically they put him in like- They put him in like- Well, I call it like the man who wants everything machine. Which if you don't remember the Silver Age comic that Alan Moore wrote for- It wasn't- For the man who has everything.

Okay. Where they put the- The Black Marching. Oh no, the Black March- Oh my god, that's such a terrible- Yeah. Such a terrible episode in the cartoon.
