#428: Naomi Says Goodbye

By Ryan Haley | May 15, 2022 |

The Superhero Show Show #428

Naomi Says Goodbye

It’s the final episodes of Naomi ever, plus Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and so much more, on an all-new episode of The Superhero Show Show!

On an all-new episode of The Superhero Show Show, the Taste Buds are saying goodbye to the CW show Naomi! Naomi got cancelled in the recent CW culling, and this two-part season finale became a two-part series finale! This makes the cliffhanger kind of awkward, but Cassie and the Boyz try to discover if it’s a good send-off anyway. Will Naomi find out more information about her parents and her powers? Will we ever discover what was going on with Superman in town? And will Naomi’s best friend continue to call her “babe?” Join the Taste Buds and find out!

There’s also a new Marvel movie! The PopFilter ban on spoilers has been lifted, and these people are getting in to it. Will there be anybody on the show who doesn’t like Sam Raimi? Or is everyone a smart smart? Be careful though, because they spoil EVERYTHING.

All of that, plus reviews and discussions on every other show this week, including Young Justice: Phantoms, The Flash, Fear the Walking Dead, and Riverdale!
