Episode 187: THE FLASH (2023)

The Wages of Cinema

::WHOOSH THERE ARE SPOILERS 38 MINUTES IN (and a bit of Kevin Smith telling a Superman story) SO GOTTA GO NOW!! WHOOSH! Heard me go WHOOSH, that's my speeding-past sound! WHOOSH AGAIN!:: Jack, Andrew and Matt saw The Flash. Did we see it so you don't have to? Or, in this timeline, did we have fun? Are there now two Jacks, one who praises the film and one who criticizes it with a morose boredom? Or are there now two Andrews, one who is Andrew, and one who is still.... Andrew! Ahh! And then there's Matt... Matt already contains multitudes (and even Mattitudes), so we don't have to bifurcate or trifurcate or any-cate him here, he's the Guest Star and has many insights per usual! (Did you wonder about Reverse Flash, for example... yeah, we had to be educated on him a bit). Point is, the new FLASH is out, with Ezra Miller (do they bring, uh, 'it' or are they obnoxious - or sincere! or both! We're in a Schrodinger's Bat-Cave looking at this stuff, you know), and Michael Keaton returning after over thirty years (and a Birdman) to put on the cape and cowl. Did we mention also the FAN SERVICE! It's there, if you know where to look for it... ::Chortle:: Ok, enough jokes, time for us to get into the proper timeline for our review!
