Latest Episode: May 15, 2019 — Arrow Season 7, Episode 22

568 Arrow S7E22 Review: “You Have Saved This City”

At last, the penultimate season of Arrow draws to a close. The city is saved…but what of the multiverse? We discuss why this season finale feels more like a series finale, housing prices in neighborhoods full of ex-spies, original Team Arrow moments, and the importance of having sentient bullets if you want to solve the gun violence problem. Also, there’s a very intense creepy guy hanging out in John’s office.

And then, some sad show news as we announce this is the last episode of the Speedy Arrowcast…but we also detail our brand new show, coming next week!

We discuss loyalty miscalculations, why you should always move glass display cases full of superhero outfits before you get into a fight, and how sometimes an arrow full of ball bearings is actually a metaphor.

What kind of plan involves getting arrested by the police that you may or may not control? And when you’ve seen a character switch sides three or four times, can the stakes get any lower?

    We also talk about the recent news regarding an Arrowverse producer who’s been suspended pending an investigation of sexual harassment, and why we believe and stand with the women.

    Last season, on the Speedy Arrowcast…an island exploded, leaving most of our beloved characters’ fates hanging in th—never mind, they’re all fine.

    We’re back for the premiere of season 6. Hot topics include how you know when it’s probably time to move your lair, whether plaid and a beard can soften even the toughest villain, and whether 10 year olds are grown-ups. (Spoiler: They are not. Stop listening to Guy.)

    This week, we’re all trapped in a bunker. With our feelings. We go off-formula for a week that helps remediate some of our biggest complaints about this season and last. Hot topics include: finding the secret escalator entrance in to the Arrowcave, why you pipe hot and cold running methane into your lair, and why it’s important to talk things out like adults. Even on a comic book show.

We discuss impractical infiltration garb, the time-space rift that has seemingly transported two of our favorite characters to a different show, and why certain people should probably not cast stones when it comes to the ends justifying the means.

We don our silk kimono to discuss why you don’t bring the villain’s wife to a knife fight, why teaming up with mysterious hackers usually has a downside, and the inevitable attack on Star City by a horde of monkeys.

    122 Arrow S4E8 review: “Legends of Yesterday”

    Crossover week continues as special guests Jason Snell and Tony Sindelar join Guy and John for a discussion of part two of this week’s Flash-Arrow crossover event. How much do we not like Hawkguy? Are the Egyptian flashbacks better or worse than returning to the island? Why is Malcolm Merlin such a jerk? And are we relieved that the “Legends of Tomorrow” furniture moving may finally be at an end?
