100 Legends of Tomorrow S6E10: "Bad Blood" / Black Widow
It’s episode 100 of our little superhero TV/movie podcast, and we’re celebrating by recapping the latest episode of Legends of Tomorrow, where we discuss the rules of magic, alien consequences, and dramatic misfires. Then, in a supersized Superhero Sweep segment, we spend a bit pontificating on the latest Loki/WandaVision conspiracy theory, followed by a discussion of the recently released Black Widow. And we wrap it all up with a big thank you to you, our readers.

573 Evil Helicarrier
Put on your catsuit and your tactical vest, because we’re about to talk about Marvel’s “Black Widow,” which some of us saw in theaters. (And some of us didn’t.) This is a movie delayed from pre-COVID times, it’s the first Marvel movie in the Disney+ era, and it’s set during 2016’s “Captain America: Civil War”—conveniently before the main character dies. With all that, it’s also a film that puts its title heroine at the center of a “Mission: Impossible” style story that’s also, strangely, about a couple of particularly messed-up families.

There’s a hot tub in the Lighthouse and killer robots with lasers—it doesn’t get more ’80s than that as we recap the latest episode of Agents of SHIELD.

36 Legends of Tomorrow S5E6: "Mr. Parker's Cul-De-Sac"
This week, guess who’s coming to dinner! We rejoin our favorite band of time-traveling idiots to deal with a blast from their past and a dinner party farce that’s beyond compare. Hot topics include how you deal with so many characters so effectively, a weird episode that’s even weirder than most episodes, and the delightful scenery chewing of Neal McDonough. Then, in our Superhero Sweep segment, we get a long-wished-for live action appearance of our favorite villain, plus we discuss what might happen in (and to) the upcoming Black Widow movie. Then we round it all out with the Letters Page.

25 Arrow S8E7: "Purgatory"
And so it ends back where it begins. On this week’s episode of Arrow we’re going back to an island, but not for five years. We discuss Ollie channeling his whiny younger self, why you should always keep DNA samples of your cast, and what the heck is up with these ghosts? Then in our Superhero Sweep segment we try to figure out what the fallout from Crisis on Infinite Earths might be and discuss the newly released Black Widow trailer. Finally, our Letters Page addresses some lingering Arrow questions.
This Lian Yu shirt sells itself this week.
