Milestone comics always get special variants so for our 25th episode, Jay and Bobby recorded live and broadcast on Facebook (findable on Youtube as well - link below.) We start with our recap of Captain America: Civil War and think Paul Rudd, Chadwick Boseman & Tom Holland are excellent additions to the expanded universe. We also question whether Baron Zemo (Daniel Brühl) is the best bad guy of all time. Despite Agents Of Shield not tying tightly into Civil War, it still crushes and mostly that is the work of Brett Dalton, Chloe Bennet and Henry Simmons. Gotham is really hitting it's stride and James Frain is blowing up as Azrael. We finally see the pieces coming together for Bruce (David Mazouz) and Jay is a full-on fan now! The Teddy Sears/Tony Todd combo continues to dominate on Flash, but we really loved seeing Cavanaugh, Shipp and Martin all on screen together, plus, Iris and Barry have a moment and we see the Kid Flash and Jesse Quick origin! On Arrow, we give major props to baby Sara for living through all the shit Diggle (David Ramsey) puts her through, plus Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) is on some stage-5 clinger shit! We get our best Legends Of Tomorrow of the season with terrific flashbacks, Caity Lotz takes over and everyone is fighting over Kendra (Ciara Renee.) We've got it all, live on the Laugh Factory Podcast Network, it's the Trusty Sidekicks!

Once again recording in the same room, it's a hilarious episode

Season finales, extra-long expositions and Bobby loses it

The Doctor Strange trailer is out and we gush over how strong Marvel's movie arm is right now with the casting wins in this movie (Benedict Cumberbatch, Rachel McAdams, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Tilda Swinton and Mads Mikkelsen.) Agents Of Shield continues to push us towards Civil War, and we discuss Gideon's turn from powerful to powerless as family secrets come back to haunt him and his daughter (Bethany Joy Lenz.) We fill you in on some powerful casting news for Spiderman (Homecoming?! *gags*,) Thor and Iron Fist, as well as some cool inside info on Captain America. On the DC side, Gotham is on fire right now as performances from Cory Michael Smith (Edward Nygma,) Robin Lord Taylor (Penguin) and Ben Mackenzie (Jim Gordon) have been incredible along with a storyline that has finally lured Jay in. We're struggling with the current Supergirl plot, even though we think Melissa Benoist has been better every week and the work of Calista Flockhart, Chyler Leigh and David Harewood make us keep coming back to the show. We question the involvement of Superman (yet again,) but Bobby declares Laura Vandervoort has his favorite new blue person. Legends Of Tomorrow continues to grow on us, and we discuss how an episode entitled "Magnificent Eight" is pretty emblematic for this cast. We've decided that Caity Lotz is a bonafide star. The combo of her and Ciara Renee really backs the show, and we discuss our feelings about the fight coordination of Jeffrey Robinson. Topped off with a little Arrow and Wonder Woman news, it's the Trusty Sidekicks on the Laugh Factory Podcast Network!

Supervillains take over the show on a celebrity filled Episode 21! Jay gets a chance to hang with both Stephen Rider (Blake Tower - Daredevil) and the heir to the demon herself, Katrina Law (Nyssa al-Ghul!) Future podcast guest? You'll have to keep listening! DC has a new Suicide Squad trailer and we get more Jay Hernandez (El Diablo) as well as some well-placed humor, lots of Batman and way more Margot Robbie. We cover Arrow and the death of a cast original, again adoring the work of James Bamford. Darhk (Neal McDonough) is still at the core of this season and Merlyn (John Barrowman) is willing to take on both Black Canary (Katie Cassidy) and his own daughter (Willa Holland) to do Darhk's bidding in an episode that leaves us both in tears. On Legends Of Tomorrow, kids abound as we maintain a love for the storytelling, if not for the set pieces. We're cool with the budget going into the CGI though, as we'd rather watch Franz Drameh's Firestorm and Ciara Renee's Hawkgirl fly around and set stuff on fire way more than knobs that look futuristic on a time traveling ship. Over on the Marvel side there's new Captain America: Civil War footage, we have info on how involved Spiderman (Tom Holland) is and of course, the lead-in to the film, Agents Of Shield. Ward/Hive (Brent Dalton) is growing in power, there's a new Inhuman that the show centers around, and Daisy's (Chloe Bennet) involvement sets up one of the better training scenario sequences you'll see on TV. Plus news on when the new Doctor Strange trailer hits, and a Marvel favorite duo is coming to cable television soon! It's the Trusty Sidekicks, on the Laugh Factory Podcast Network

Thanks to no new Supergirl or Gotham this week, we had a little more time to get you this very silly episode 20! We cover the rest of Daredevil and can't get over the performances of Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, and the grounded relatability of the show. Agents Of Shield is making a hard charge towards setting up Civil War and we see lines beginning to be drawn. We recognize the work being put into developing the villains on Gotham and what it takes to make Jim Gordon okay with taking help from a giant bat in the future. The Arrowverse has us loving the Supergirl/Flash team up, being blown away by the Tom Cavanaugh and Grant Gustin act-off in Flash, still super-sad and wondering about the longevity of Felicity on Arrow, while being excited about the emergence of Chicago's Echo Kellum as Curtis (Mr Terrific,) and hyped up over the return of Mick Rory (Dominc Purcell) and concerned for Ray and Kendra on Legends Of Tomorrow. Plus cool news from Marvel and DC. Just in time and always free, it's your Trusty Sidekicks, on the Laugh Factory Podcast Network!

Batman V Superman has arrived and we have our thoughts on that and more in this week's epsiode 19! As promised, we give our complete, non-biased (at least Bobby is) review of Dawn Of Justice, with praise for Ben Affleck, some heavy criticism of Zack Snyder, and a plot device that we both found to be totally absurd. In Gotham, Bobby has almost pulled Jay on board and Paul Reubens is a big help. We find proof of how old Penguin will be when Batman finally hits the scene (too old) and we get our first of a couple of shows about mushrooms and drugs in general, thanks to Poison Ivy. We're both confident of Supergirl getting a second season and think Melissa Benoist, and the rest of the team deserve it. We love David Harewood as Martian Manhunter and we see it improving. Flash gets another speedster in the mix as Allison Paige shows up as Trajectory and Bobby questions whether anyone who has ever written a show has actually done drugs in the second drug-related show of the week. Side stories involving our buddy Tone Bell (whom we interviewed in episode 6) and a possible spark between (future) Kid Flash (Keiynan Lonsdale) and (future) Jesse Quick (Violett Beane might be happening. On Arrow, Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) brings Jay to tears - oh as well as Ollie (Stephen Amell,) as Cupid (Amy Gumenick) is back and terrorizing socialite couples. We close it out on the Marvel side with a very sentimental episode of Agents Of Shield, as Bobbi and Lance (Adrianne Palicki and Nick Blood) finally take their leave from the show - before they show up in their own vehicle, Marvel's Most Wanted. It's one of our most hilarious yet, it's the Trusty Sidekicks, on the Laugh Factory Podcast Network!

With both of us stuck at airports like Tom Hanks in Terminal, we're getting this out a little late, but episode 18 is a doozy! There's a new Age Of Apocalypse trailer and we wish we were more excited for this movie...alas, Batman v Superman is getting some good early reviews and Jay might be coming around on it! On the Marvel side of the street, season 2 of Daredevil is out! We break down the first four episodes even though we've seen the whole thing and talk about how incredible everyone from Jon Bernthal to Deborah Ann Woll to stunt coordinator Philip J Silvera. Agents of Shield continues it's killer storyline and we are digging the "Grant Ward (Brett Dalton) as Hive" storyline. Back over on the DC side, Supergirl gets turnt on that red kryptonite and becomes Hancock and we continue our hype of David Harewood as Martian Manhunter. Jay is all in on Gotham now, Paul Reubens is coming and has there been an Azrael sighting? We've finally arrived at our destinations, it's the Trusty Sidekicks on the Laugh Factory Podcast Network!

Bobby barely survives and Jay comes around on Gotham in an outstanding Episode 17! We open with a breakdown of the new Captain America and our first glimpse at Tom Holland's Spiderman, as well as how his involvement with Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr) will carry over into his solo film. Agents Of Shield's return is an appropriate follow up and we enjoy how Skye (Chloe Bennet) is building up her team and how Brett Dalton (Grant/Hive) is still crushing everything on screen. On the DC side, Jay may have finally turned the corner on getting into Gotham thanks to a killer Mr Freeze storyline and agrees that BD Wong and Robin Lord Taylor are super strong on the show. Despite our issues with Legends Of Tomorrow, we still find the show crazy entertaining. We break down the teams trip to 1958 and all the racial, gender, and sexual orientation problems that come with it. Caity Lotz is still our favorite ninja and we enjoy trying to recreate Franz Drameh's (slightly) overdone, east coast accent. We close it out with some movie news for Batman V Superman, Justice League and the Flash/Aquaman movies on the DC side and info on Luke Cage, more Spidey news and a Spidey-related title, going into production for Sony. Bring your underoos, it's The Trusty Sidekick podcast, on the Laugh Factory podcast network!

Jay and Bobby are back with another hilarious episode! This week, Gotham returns, we learn how to pronounce "Fries," applaud the work of Robin Lord Taylor and also that Jay might finally be enjoying this show! Family and forgiveness is a huge part of our Supergirl breakdown and we cover the introduction of Brainiac 8 (aka Indigo,) while Bobby suggests an interesting storyline for the writers. Both that and Legends are getting better with every episode and we again have praise for Caity Lotz as White Canary, the improvement of Arthur Darvill as Rip Hunter and the overall fun of the show. Jay has finally got on board with Agent Carter, just in time for the season finale. We both decide we hope it's not the series finale as we think the work of Fazekas & Butters as storytellers is outstanding and everyone from Hayley Atwell to Matt Braunger make the show so fun. Closing it out, we knock out some big news for Batman V Superman regarding Jena Malone, Katie Aselton joining a new Marvel show and more. Fresh from the Laugh Factory Podcast Network, it's the Trusty Sidekicks!
