Ep. 209 - Static Shock - Flashback

A week after American's celebrate the Mothers in their lives, the Good Brothers are here for a very special episode of Static Shock titled "Flashback" - an episode that finds Static headed to the past and attempt to stop his own mother from tragically dying. Cal and Liam walk a tightrope of an emotional story that suffers from a lot happening in a very little bit of time, and selling important story beats short. The hosts compare this story to the similar "Flashpoint" storyline from the comics and the live action Flash show, and discuss how the visuals also suffer due to a packed episode. As always, the hosts have strong opposing feelings on the Season 3 music choices from composer Richard Wolf, while both agreeing on some strong vocal performances from two voice-acting legends during the more emotional scenes. Wrapping it all up the hosts preview next week's episode and discuss much more on this week's DCAU Review!
