🎒John and DJ had a slow news week but they found plenty to chat about before getting into this weeks comics.  Including the season finally of Arrow.  They also had a slight issue with one of their books in this weeks edition of Check Out, so be sure to check that out.

🎒Thunderstorms, Technical Difficulties or Flight Delays will not keep John and DJ from talking about the Dark Knight.  They were dying to discuss Heath Ledgers performance or if Nolan legitimized the Comic Book Movie genre.  They go off on a few tangents here but as always its fun, at least to them anyway.

🎒Tough night for podcasting but the Bad Boys powered through.  TWICE.  They had two conversations about the CW, The Clone Wars and some Bad Boys movie talk before they were able to get into this weeks books.  Once they got into the books it was smooth sailing and they had a great time and even came up with a new name for their book club.

🎒John and DJ chat about CW's Crisis on Infinite Earths largest crossover event to date and DJ thinks it turned out to be a pretty historic event.  They also break down what happens next in the Arrow Verse and what this all means with each show.  They talked about their liks and dislikes as well.  Was it as good as the comic?

🎒Pretty slow week in comics but John and DJ can always find plenty to talk about.  Marvel and Sony Playing nice in the sandbox? New Mutants in the MCU?  CW Crisis a "historic" event?  All that and plenty of books too...

🎒John and DJ chat about The Netflix show The Witcher and they talk spoiler free for the first 20 min or so.  But even after they locked the door and started talking spoilers they really don't think they spoiled very much.  Most of their conversation revolved around the convoluted time line and trying to figure out if that was the best way they could have made season one.
