Sal from ComicPop is BACK! He joins Hassan Khadair to talk James Gunn’s DCU, why Lanterns is winning us over, and why the marketing around Clayface and Superman: Man of Tomorrow has us worried. We’re excited about this universe—but will it get the time and support it needs?
We also get into Rick and Morty’s changing identity, American Dad’s surprisingly ambitious storytelling, revisiting The X-Files, and Hassan’s lifelong campaign to bring back Young Justice.
Plus: Sal’s animated series pitch, a cease-and-desist over an unmade X-Men movie, and how Hassan ended up in a Terminator comic. Hassan shares stories about meeting the real-life inspiration for Community’s Abed and hanging out with Alex Hirsch without realizing who he was.

Lanterns gets vicious, and the Suits debate gets personal. Hassan Khadair and Skootish break down Lanterns Episode 5, from Hal Jordan and John Stewart’s brutal confrontation to the Manhunter reveals and theories about James Gunn’s DCU.
Then we argue about whether Suits is actually great, what went wrong with Suits LA, and how Arrow and The Flash handled their comic book characters. Plus, why you should watch Widow’s Bay, highlights from the Emmys, the ridiculous waits between TV seasons, and responses to your comments.

Then we're making the case for bringing back Young Justice, arguing about Seasons 3 and 4, and talking My Adventures with Superman and the future of DC animation. Plus: Jeff Sneider's posts about Inde Navarrette, La La Land dating stories, weekly TV versus binge releases, and your responses to our Coyote vs. Acme reviews.

Follow Absolutely so you don't miss an episode. Did Lanterns change your mind, and does Young Justice deserve another season?
Skootish loved Coyote vs. Acme. Hassan really wanted to. This week on the Absolutely Podcast, Hassan Khadair and Skootish review the Looney Tunes movie, argue over Lanterns Episodes 1–3, and get into Magneto’s future in the MCU.
Is Coyote vs. Acme worth the hype? We talk Wile E. Coyote, Will Forte, John Cena, and why wanting a movie to succeed doesn’t mean you have to love it. Hassan ends up calling his fiancée to help explain his review. Skootish remains unconvinced.
Then it’s Green Lantern time. We discuss John Stewart’s origin, Kyle Chandler’s Hal Jordan, and whether Lanterns’ slow-burn mystery is working. Skootish has a theory about Sinestro and Parallax. Hassan would like to talk about those shoulder pads.
We also revisit Hassan’s viral Magneto tweet and the debate over adapting the character’s Holocaust backstory for the MCU’s X-Men while preserving Jewish representation. That includes a hypothetical Palestinian version of Magneto—not a confirmed Marvel announcement.
Plus: Buddy, Star Wars prequel arguments, and your comments from the previous episode.
Spoilers for Coyote vs. Acme and Lanterns Episodes 1–3.
