The Superhero Show Show #424: Young, Dumb, and Full of Justice

The Superhero Show Show #424
Young, Dumb, and Full of Justice

Young Justice: Phantoms takes center stage, plus X-Men: The Animated Series, Moon Knight, and more!

On an all-new, all-different Superhero Show Show, the Taste Buds put Young Justice: Phantoms in the Main Event for the first time? Was this a normal episode of the show? That depends. Do normal episodes of the show start with a very serious depiction of what it’s like to be divorced while raising a kid on the spectrum? Do normal episodes focus on a bunch of bugs, who are called bugs by humans, but they call each other Forager? If this all seems normal to you, then the Taste Buds watched an incredibly normal episode of Young Justice: Phantoms. Did it all work for them? Tune in to find out!

Next, the Cassie and the Boyz discuss all of the other shows from this week, including Moon Knight, Riverdale, The Walking Dead, and The Flash. 

Then, it’s off to X-Tazmania, as the Days of Future Past continues to play out in part one of One’s Man Worth. Master Mold has sent a team of assassins back in time to kill young(ish) Charles Xavier, and it’s up to a group of X-Men from an Xavier-less future to jump in the timeline and try to save them. Make sense? Not if you watch the episode!

And then finally, Ryan sits down with Margot Carlson and Jordan Crucchiola to talk about the new season of The Whole Movie Podcast, which is all about robot movies. In part 1 of the interview, Margot and Jordan describe their show, and what robots mean to them. Next week, they’ll dive into a Rushmore of the greatest TV robots of all time. Check out The Whole Movie Podcast wherever you get your podcasts, and follow Margot on Twitter @official_margot and Jordan is @jorcru
