FW Presents

You asked for more "Draft" episodes, and we listened! After building our dream Justice Leagues and assembling our favorite Avengers, it's finally time to embrace our inner supervillains! Join The Irredeemable Shag, Brett Young, Chris Franklin, Paul Kien, Sean Ross, and John Steib for an epic DC villain draft as they battle to build the ultimate LEGION OF DOOM! The rules are simple... sort of: 7 villains per team Snake draft format Round 1: Draft one of the founding members of the classic Challenge of the Super Friends Legion of Doom. Choose wisely, because once a villain is selected, every incarnation and legacy of that character is off the board for everyone else. And all of the remaining classic Legion of Doom members who were not chosen are eliminated from the draft! Rounds 2–6: Any other DC villain is fair game! Final Round: Everyone gets a unique incarnation of Lex Luthor to complete their team. Then YOU get to decide which team deserves to rule the DC Universe! After listening, check out the visual rosters, and then vote for your favorite Legion of Doom team in the comments on this post. One lucky commenter will win a FREE T-shirt from the Fire & Water Podcast Network merch store! SPOILER ALERT - After listening, check out the visual representations of each of our teams here:  https://fireandwaterpodcast.com/podcast/fwp-lod-draft-gallery/   This podcast is a proud member of the FIRE AND WATER PODCAST NETWORK: Visit the Fire & Water website: https://fireandwaterpodcast.com Like our Fire & Water Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/FWPodcastNetwork Follow Fire & Water on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/fwpodcasts.bsky.social Follow Fire & Water on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fireandwaterpodcast/ Support The Fire & Water Podcast Network on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fwpodcasts   The Hall of Doom is open for business... and evil has never been so much fun!

Just in time for Halloween, FW Presents reviews the new Netflix horror miniseries MIDNIGHT MASS. When strange and unexplainable things happen to the people of dreary Crocket Island, is this the miraculous work of the newly arrived priest of Saint Patrick's, or is there something far more sinister and deadly at work in the night? Ryan Daly, Angela Drew, and Herman Louw discuss the plot, characters, and the terrifying themes, both supernatural and allegorical, of this acclaimed and creepy new show from creator Mike Flanagan. WARNING: Spoilers ahoy! DOUBLE WARNING: Lots of talk about religion, Catholicism, death, fanaticism, and resurrection from people who aren't experts in any of this. Let us know what you think!

Is it getting hot in here, or is it just The Human Fly?!? If you can take the heat, join your host Max Romero and very special guest Siskoid as they scale the towering inferno that is The Human Fly #5! Will The Fly manage to save a group of children (and Harmony!) from the roof of a burning skyscraper? How can a septuagenarian former aerialist be so buff?  And what are the chances The Human Fly and our elderly villain would ... recognize each other?! All this and Siskoid's smoldering disdain for Quebec are explored in this episode! Let’s get wild!
