Arrow Squad

Is happiness overrated? You be the judge! Our very own Podcast Overlord (Kevin Bachelder), Angela Pritchett, Kevin Eldridge, Ryan Guthrie, and Nathan Laws lead us through the mire of discussing the character development and arcs of our beloved show in order to anticipate what has yet to come. This is a fan panel, the likes of which can only be found at DragonCon! Read more...

Happy Superhero Friday, Arrow Squad! It is our pleasure to bring you the second, and final, installment of Live from DragonCon! In this episode of Arrow Squad, we managed to pry Podcast Overlord from his mob of adoring fans, sneak him to an undisclosed location, and sit him behind the microphone for just long enough to talk Arrow. Other featured voices in this podcast episode are Jess (Harley Quinn) and Martin (The Flash), whose voices you will recognize, undoubtedly, from Part 1.

Many, many wonderful things went down at DragonCon! Kevin, the Podcast Overlord, wins the prize for most panels attended amongst the rest of us. But it yielded fruitful results! Kevin provided us with the audio to the Arrow fan panel he was a panelist for on Monday of the Con. With him on the panel are Angela Pritchett, Kevin Eldridge, Ryan Guthrie, and Nathan Laws.

Do we have a treat for you, Arrow Squad! Well, the tastiness of the treat will be up to your own determination, and just how easily your funny bone can be tickled. Truth be told, this episode of Arrow Squad, live and unscripted from DragonCon, is a bunch of friends sitting down after a long day, flipping on the mic, and talking about our experience. By the time we finally turned on the mic we'd attended the "Stephen Amell Live" panel (where--not to brag--we were the first to see the season 4 trailer) and a Flash panel. Everyone but me (Miss Ice) attended that evening's Arrow panel, too. We had a lot to react to!

For those of you who have never been to DragonCon, or to any con, I believe we spend more time in the next episode talking about the con experience. This episode is a lot about breaking down the Arrow season 4 trailer, sharing some laughs, and me freaking out at the end because I'm late to meet a friend to get back to our hotel! Or maybe Brian cut that out, since, you know, he's always slicing out my tangents. Heh heh. What I wish he would have done was cut out all of his horrible Felicity theories! Read more...

Presenting.... The Central City Arrow Under Squad Ground! Or something. It's the first Superhero Roundtable! The first of many, hopefully, because we had a fantastic time chatting with Tony (The Director) and Joe (Joey Shakespeare) about the conjoined DC Comics universe! Tony has a great background in DC Comics, having grown up reading them, and Joe's knowledge of The Flash comics lend extremely well to this discussion. Particularly interesting were their theories on a potential multiverse on season two of The Flash and how that might come into play in the broader television universe.

We don't just stick to the television universe, either. Though The Flash and Arrow are the center points for our conversation, we jump from comics to the cinematic universe to comic con as well. We touch on the actors chosen for popular DC roles in the cinematic universe, talk about the differences between Marvel and DC's approach to developing a broader universe, and speculate on what's to come from both. Hopefully we cover enough ground to satiate the deepening void that our favorite shows have left in our hearts. Read more...

News about Arrow seems to be flowing like a faucet this summer as we get closer and closer to season 4. The excitement, and hope, of what is still to come in the next season is exactly the fuel we need to propel us into DragonCon over Labor Day weekend and tide us over until the early October premiere of our beloved show. In preparation for the iconic Con down in Atlanta, we had the amazing opportunity of sitting down with Kelley Harkins, the track director for American Scifi and Fantasy Media at DragonCon.

As you will learn by listening to the podcast, this track encompasses a lot of topics. Most importantly, it encompasses Arrow and The Flash and as an avid fan of both, Kelley dishes on her insider knowledge of the panels going on at DragonCon 2015. From fan discussion panels to guest panels, we get a much better idea of what is to come not only for Arrow and The Flash, but for the wider sci-fi and fantasy fan. Read more...

Welcome back, Arrow Squad! It is our pleasure to be back this week with the first round of listener guest hosts, Martin (aka The Flash) and Justina (aka The Green Butterfly). San Diego Comic Con happened last week (July 9-12, 2015) and we decided it was time to have another conversation. If you're looking to steer clear of season 4 spoilers before the premiere of Arrow in October, this might not be the podcast episode to listen to. We discuss a blend of general season 3 highlights and lowlights with our guests and then move into discussion about some of the factoids we got from Comic Con! Read more...

Happy Summer Arrow Squad! Podcast Overlord, The Shadow and myself, Miss Ice, hop behind the mic for the first installment of Arrow Squad's summer programming. Because we haven't met certain milestones on Patreon, we cannot commit to a weekly summer podcast, but we are excited to bring you episodes here and there when we find some fun content to talk about. Our first objective is reflection! The finale aired five weeks ago, and now, with the summer sun beating down on our backs, we look back and offer some reflection and summer news. Read more...

Welcome back Arrow Squad! Two whole weeks have passed since Oliver and Felicity drove off into the sunset together, but the Arrow Squad never sleeps. In this special, hiatus edition of Arrow Squad, Podcast Overlord sits down for a chat with Danielle Taylor, "The Arrowess" herself. While Miss Ice is holed up with the sickness and The Shadow does mysterious work at a mysterious conference with mysterious allies, Podcast Overlord dives into the story of the Facebook phenom Arrow dress Danielle made for her prom.

Raise your hand if you ever imagined an episode of Arrow ending with Oliver and Felicity driving off into the sunset.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

You'll get no complaints from your hosts at the Arrow Squad! Yes, we are back to discuss the season 3 finale of Arrow entitled "My Name is Oliver Queen", which aired on May 13, 2015. The introspection and the character studies led down a twisty and circuitous path, not unlike our method of discussing the show itself, but ultimately reached a resolution in this emotionally gripping finale. We have some complaints, some nitpicks, but we can help but gush over the story! While we want to see Felicity happy, preferably with Oliver, we are also very satisfied to see the show choose a new and different path for Oliver leading into season 4. Read more...

The Arrow Squad trio is one shy this week. Podcast Overlord is traveling to celebrate his daughter's graduation from college. The Shadow and I, Miss Ice, discuss the exciting events of Arrow Season 3 Episode 22 "This Is Your Sword" which originally aired on May 6, 2015.

As the most recent in a long string of emotional episodes, it's hard to imagine how things could get any worse OR how they might resolve themselves with only one episode remaining in season 3! From the revelation of Oliver's ruse to the deeply touching final moments of Maseo's life to Roy's farewell, this episode was jam packed with moments that tug at the heartstrings. Read more...
