Blue Beetle was one of the last of the DCEU releases. Originally intended as a straight to Max streaming movie, Warner Bros-Discovery was apparently impressed by what they saw and decided to release the movie to theaters. Sporting a modest $75K budget, the movie managed to look better than many, more expensive blockbusters. It also boasted a mostly latino cast, bringing representation to a community not often associated with superhero films. In this episode we discuss Blue Beetle. We talk about it’s plot, cast, and characters. We also get into the themes of the movie, use of real history to tell a story, representation in media, and the comic history of the Blue Beetle.

Due to time constraints, this episode doesn’t have a five-minute controversy.

This week Nate, Tom, and Daviorr join the cast.

Road trips are an essential component of modern life. What is a road trip? It is a long journey, especially one that is recreational or spontaneous, taken in an automobile. They often involve multiple stops and are made for simple pleasure. This episode of the podcast delves into all kinds of road trips. Snacks are important on a trip and we talk about some of our favourites.

We usually start each episode by talking about what we are drinking. This time, no drinks involved. However, Leah did enjoy a beverage earlier in the day. Her boss bought Starbucks. The drink of choice for today for the oat apple-crisp espresso. It was delicious.

House moving is over. Today, Shawn cleared out his storage unit. Although he has a few remaining items at his brother’s house, mostly everything is now in the home. Organization is the final task.

After the preamble, we dredge up memories of childhood road trips. Leah remembers her mother waking them up at 4am. She and her sister instructed to get dressed and get in the car. No pajamas permitted. The 7 hour road trip to grandma’s house would then take place.

Shawn took a road trip with his grandparents in 1989. Mostly they did whatever his grandfather wanted. They saw airplane museums and ship harbours. A lot of driving took place and a whole load of motels experienced.

The rest of the episode details this past weekend’s road trip to Grand Rapids, Michigan. We went to the GoodWill bins, the Lush store in the mall as well as the Lego store and Hallmark. We ate at Bob Evans and the Cheesecake Factory. A major highlight was the Wally’s family of antique stores.

Flopcast episode 651! It’s the terrifying conclusion of our Halloween FlopFight! Leaping into the tournament this week are characters from Nightmare Before Christmas, Hocus Pocus, Bewitched, Happy Days (what?), and more. Each matchup is drawn randomly, and the exact competitions are randomized too. (So for example, it could be Count Chocula against Jack Skellington, but in a pie-eating contest. Stuff like that.) So anything goes, and special guest Blasted Bill is back to keep things nice and silly. We’re also wishing a Happy Birthday to 90s singer-songwriter Sophie B. Hawkins, who has something in common with one of our FlopFighters: a mysterious middle initial. Because a certain Tom Hanks SNL character is also competing. Any questions?

The Karate Kid was a popular movie in the early 80’s that spawned several sequels and in 2018 a spinoff series called Cobra Kai. In this episode the cast discusses the latter series. They talk about origins of the legacy characters and how the new series views them through a different point of view. They debate the merits of the various younger characters and their storylines. They also get into the themes of the series, larger than life storytelling, and how important being the All Valley Champion really is. They also reveal what they want to see in the final season of the series.

Due to time constraints, this episode doesn’t have a five-minute controversy.

This week Stephen, Eric, and Jeff join the cast.
