Crossing Streams Ep. 7: Has "Legion" lost Biz? "Supergirl" as a highly effective anti-Trump vehicle

Crossing Streams hits lucky number 7! After the Bizzle and Matty G each make a movie recommendation (Jesse adores "Logan," Matt gushes over "Get Out”) the dynamic duo moves on to an interesting thought experiment: Would "Supergirl" have become what it's become (a thoughtful and highly conscious social and political commentary) if Hillary Clinton had won the presidential election? Then it's on to "Legion," which Jesse found so confusing it might have permanently turned him off to the show (sad face), and Matt concedes was at least confusing enough to justify that reaction, even if he's still on board. Both remain completely on board with "The Expanse," which is finally giving Alex and Amos a chance to shine and somehow keeps getting better and better every episode. With lots of F-bombs. Then, with the Bizzle babbling about Westworld’s disturbing social/political/pholsophical implications for a spell, Matt calls out "Humans" for giving Carrie-Ann Moss' character the kind of lazy tragic backstory that "Westworld," for all its flaws, used frequently as something approaching satire. Finally, Matt explains why Prometheus is killing his interest in "Arrow" and is worried that "The Flash," in its desire to dive deep into the rich comic source material, has expanded so much and so quickly that the show is losing cohesion. And since even broader stories are coming in future seasons – Crisis on Infinite Earths! – this problem could only get worse for what was once his favorite superhero show.
