It’s the two-part season finale of The Flash on an all-new The Superhero Show Show!

The Taste Buds are putting the spotlight on The Flash 2 part season finale, and it’s a big one! It’s the end of the Godspeed war, so Barry will finally show down with the white-costumed speedster known as Godspeed. Will these episodes stick the landing, or will it continue the bumpy ride of this overall bumpy season. Will the introduction of Bart and the re-introduction of Nora be enough to pull The Flash, and Barry, out of their doldrums? The answers to all of those questions and more, only on this episode!

Plus, the Taste Buds finally get around to reviewing Black Widow. Cassie, and both of the Boyz, all made it out to the theater to check it out, and now we get to hear what they think! Do they also think that Florence Pugh, and the family dynamics, stole the movie like the rest of America did? Tune in to find out!

And if that wasn’t enough, the Taste Buds also continue their celebration of the second season of X-Men: The Animated Series by handing out their season awards! Who will be the MVP of the season? What about the LVP? And which of the dozens of villains from this season will win Best Villain and Worst Villain?

All of that, plus reviews of Legends of Tomorrow and Superman and Lois! It’s just way, way, way, way too much soon!
