Super Tuesday Recap: The Flash Season 9 Episodes 12 & 13
It's the end of an era as The Flash on CW comes to an end. It's been a wild ride with some really high highs and some really low lows. And that really sums up this final season as well. The final four episodes though did at least close the loop on themes from the entire show run so that's definitely some credit there. Are there things we wish that were done better? Absolutely? Did it feel like this season was filled with unnecessary tie-ins for other CW shows (And not the one we wanted *cough* Legends of Tomorrow *cough*)? Yup. But the show at least ends on the themes of family and Barry's growth with Iris which makes this at least a successful ending. It also makes us wonder what would have happened if not for all the interference from outside. Unfortunately we will never know. Instead we're left with hoping that the Flash movie turns out good and that the director realizes that Grant Gustin will always be the superior Barry Allen over Ezra Miller.
While this is the end for The Flash and our Arrowverse coverage, it's not the end yet for Super Tuesday Recap. Before we shut this show down we're going back to the beginning and are going to do a rewatch/review of Agents of SHIELD from the beginning. We'll be taking June off then will return in July to cover the first half of Season 1. So stay tuned.

Movie Review: Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse
Director: Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, Justin K Thompson
Writers: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, Dave Callaham
Starring: Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Oscar Isaac, Jake Johnson, Issa Rae, Brian Tyree Henry, Daniel Kaluuya
Runtime: 2 hour 20 minutes
Synopsis: Miles Morales catapults across the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People charged with protecting its very existence. When the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles must redefine what it means to be a hero.
* Edit* The directors are Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, Justin K Thompson, Kriss said it was Christopher Miller and Phil Lord but they're just the producers *Edit*
The highly anticipated sequel to the 2018 Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is here and it was well worth the wait. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is an even better film than the original and sets up not just for a third film but even the possibility of bringing Miles to live action. Honestly, they should just polish off the Oscar for this film right now. No need to see what else comes out. Yes, it's that good.

Unanimous Decision: Different Sweeps, Same Broom
If you think you're too old for a music festival, you're probably right. But, since I don't learn anything, I'm already excited for next year's Hangout Music Festival. A messy eulogy, a changing protest and a Boston meltdown all on this week's UDPod flagship episode. Also, I couldn't get Pepas as outro music, so imagine it playing while I cackle through the Heat segment.
Guests: Hangout Music Festival, Brooms

Character Corner: Joshua Williamson's Flash Volumes 7 - 9
We're back with more of Joshua Williamson's Flash run. This time we're talking volumes 7 to 9 (issues 39 to 57). Williamson's run really feels like a great jumping on point for the Flash. Since it's during Rebirth, it gives us a great reintroduction of not only Barry Allen and Eobard Thawne but also Wally West. This part of the run felt like Williamson telling all of us that grew up with Wally as our Flash that his years as the Flash mattered. And while this series is centered on Barry, it felt good to get acknowledgement of Wally's years (decades) as the Flash.
Issues:
* The Flash Volume 7: Perfect Storm
* The Flash Volume 8: Flash War
* The Flash Volume 9: Reckoning of the Forces

Movie Review: Fast X
Director: Louis Leterrier
Writers: Dan Mazeau, Justin Lin
Starring: Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Jason Statham, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Nathalie Emmanuel, Charlize Theron, John Cena, Sung Kang,
Runtime: 2 hour 21 minutes
Synopsis: Dom Toretto and his family are targeted by the vengeful son of drug kingpin Hernan Reyes.
I don't care what anyone says. The Fast & Furious movies used to be good for a bit of a streak there (5, 6 & 7). It's very clear the series took a nose dive after 7, which probably should have been the natural end of the series. The shift is clear. After Paul Walker died, the lead actor and character centered around Vin Diesel and he clearly has his own opinions on how the series should go. Justin Lin, who should be credited for saving these series, got chased off of Fast X a week into production and it shows. Fast X is a convoluted mess that doesn't make sense, has terrible action scenes and it some places forgets what story it's trying to tell because of terrible editing and scene transitions.
Again, people will say it doesn't matter and the films have always been ridiculous. But the last few Fast movies have clearly been a drop off from the height of this series that actually put out some good films.

They talk about what they love
It’s so many podcasts out here that Hate watch show. Not only are the Hosts of MTR Network Knowledgeable but they are fun. They love the material and give insight that got me to watch movies and tv shows I normally wouldn’t . They also got me back into comics. I listen to all the episodes available.
Thank all of you
These episodes were made more enjoyable by the tremendous addition information that you three brought to the production.
Keep it up and thanks again
This is Long Overdue
This network has an excellent mix of podcasts. Movie reviews are thoughtful and fair. Comic book related chats are fun, energetic and engrossing. And the political commentary is sharp. Keep up the greatness!
