Our long national nightmare is over. Derek is settled in to his new place and we are back on the mic talking about the latest nerd stuff, just as you like. This week we speedrun through five episodes of VisionQuest, just trying to catch up before next week's finale. Before that we have a bunch of news, including the potential accidental reveal of the villains in The Batman Part II, a new Constantine movie, the glut of Doomsday fast food tie-ins and so much more.

You thought we'd be back talking VisionQuest. We thought we'd be back talking VisionQuest. But Derek's movers and internet company had other plans, and so what you end up with is another solo episode featuring a call-in from Derek in his new - and very empty - apartment. Before that call-in I talk about Capturing Bigfoot, a new documentary on Amazon Prime that debuted at SXSW and is kind of the final nail in the coffin of the Patterson-Gimlin film, one of the most famous and enduring evidences of Sasquatch. I'm not sold on everything this doc has to show us, but I think the final thesis is undeniable - the film is a hoax. Which is sad, because we need more magic in the world. The back half of the episode is Derek on the phone and bad news: I screwed it up technically. The sound quality is poor, which is why I stuck this bit at the end. We talk about his move, his new home, You Can See Everything, some news that we would have otherwise covered on the show, and a teeny bit about Clayface, which will still be our next episode of Watch Men! It's just a little late because of all this moving mishigoss. Hopefully next week we're back and catching up on VisionQuest recaps and reviews. In the meantime: thanks for your patience!

Everybody's favorite synthezoid, The Vision, gets his own TV show that wraps up the trilogy begun with Wandavision. With a head full of AIs (the good kind, by which I mean fictional), Vision finds his quiet life disturbed by bounty hunter Paladin and the discovery that he just might have a son out there, which he finds baffling. Somebody dies in these first two episodes!Before that: Mister Miracle and Big Barda are cast for the DCU! Narnia: The Magician's Nephew looks trippy and sends us to Google to look stuff up! And we get a letter that so perfectly analyzes a scene from the penultimate episode of Lanterns that you'll never watch it the same way again. Don't care about any of that?

It has all been leading to this... but did the rearranging of episode air dates end up hurting the season finale of Lanterns? We find out who killed Hal, but in the process get a few other questions and it's not clear if they're meant to be mysteries or if the show just dropped unclear exposition to move things along. A new piece of the DCU has snapped into place - let's hope there's a season two so that some of the less satisfactory elements of this finale can be expanded upon. Before that: Digger digs its own grave! James Gunn seems safe at WB. There's another George A Romero zombie movie coming? And the creepypasta adaptation train keeps rolling along, this time with two competing studios adapting the same wiki. Seriously. We're taking next week off but we will be back and Visionquest is on its way!Want your questions answered on the show?

The penultimate episode gives us Hal Jordan's origin, but not as Green Lantern. We learn about Hal's youth and about the fate of his father - which may surprise even comic fans who think they know the story inside and out. Oh, and John finally gets to another planet, courtesy of an Acme brand portal. Plus we dig into our latest theories about who killed Hal Jordan - is it Kerry? Noah? Hal? Jason Ritter? We will find out next week. Before that: Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story! The Avengers Endgame Encore extra scenes! Another Marvel movie is returning to theaters! Will we see Nathan Fielder's dong? Plus we weigh in on the New York Times' 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st century. Don't care about any of that? Skip right to 1:26:22.Want your questions answered on the show?

Rest in peace, Hal Jordan. As the show returns to 2026 the investigation into Hal's murder kicks off in earnest, and there's a visit from a Green Lantern who is actually wearing a costume, Mr. Guy Gardner. Everybody in Rushville hates John and Hal, but what if the killer isn't someone with a grudge after all? Before that: a spooky story from the Philipines. The end of Warner Bros. Daredevil is donezo. And the eternal question of whether Rick Dalton really did get fat. Don't care about any of that? Skip right to 49:47.Want your questions answered on the show?

Things come to a head in 2016 as Rushville, Antaan's boys and Hal and John clash. Plenty gets destroyed and our leads have a knock down drag out fight. Who will own the ring in the end? And does it even matter anymore, after all that goes down this episode?Before that: People vs Grodd set photos! Emmy winners! We choose our weapon for a fight! And do The Batman Part II set photos reveal the villain of the movie? If you don't care about any of that skip right to 58:15.Want your questions answered on the show?

The show returns to 2016 and the mystery heats up... and gets solved? Will Macon whips it out, Hal Jordan begins warming to John and Hector Hammond kind of sort of shows up. It's not satisfying. However the episode is great!Before that: Spider-Noir is canceled, Brand New Day is insanely profitable, the Newsboy Legion could be coming, and we discuss which DC heroes go downtown, if you know what I mean.

It's a special origin episode for John Stewart, in which we learn all about why his dad was shooting apples off his head way back in Pilot. And the answer isn't what we expected! Sure, this one halts the momentum the series had built up with the main mystery plot but this flashback is exceptionally good, nuanced and full of incredible character work and acting. So we'll look past the interruption this time but TV shows need to quit doing this. Also: we go into a ton of Green Lantern lore, proving that most of the complaints folks online have about this one are because they've never read a comic book in their life (derogatory). Before that: the one thing that could get us interested in a Robocop TV show. Chris Hansen is running scared. James Gunn may have re-upped his DC contract. We give moviegoing advice. And so much more!
