#482: The End of the Arrowverse

The Superhero Show Show #482

The End of the Arrowverse

It’s the end of an era, as the Taste Buds say goodbye to The Flash and Arrowverse, and say hello to American Born Chinese!

On an all-new, all-different episode of The Superhero Show Show, Cassie and the Boys are discussing the final episode of The Flash EVER! In the fourth part of the show-ending A New World storyline, Flash has his final battle with Eddie Thawne, aka the Negative Force. He’s brought a lot of former speedster supervillains with him, and there’s gonna be a brawl!

The Taste Buds discuss the final episode, final storyline, and final season, while also saying goodbye to the giant enterprise that their podcast was practically based on, the Arrowverse. And obviously, they have to rank all of the shows. This is a podcast, and that’s what podcasts do.

Finally, they head to the pull list, where they discuss all of the other shows from this week, including Gotham Knights, Superman and Lois, Fear the Walking Dead, plus episodes six and seven of Sweet Tooth, and the premiere of American Born Chinese!

All of that, and so much more, on an all-new episode of The Superhero Show Show!

Also, don’t forget to:

While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S.

The Supreme Court overturned Roe versus Wade on June 24th.

Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what’s best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions.

Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn’t be determined by location, and it shouldn’t be the privilege of a small few.

You can help by donating to local abortion funds. To find out where to donate for each state, visit donations4abortion.com.
