The Superhero Show Show #430: Youth is Wasted on the Young (Justice)

The Superhero Show Show #430
Youth is Wasted on the Young (Justice)

Young Justice: Phantoms is on the spotlight this week, along with Morbius, X-Men: The Animated Series, and so much more on an all-new Superhero Show Show!

On an all-new episode of The Superhero Show Show, the boys lock the girls out of the studio and have a testosterone-fueled festival of high-fives! Just kidding! You should still listen. On the docket tonight is a check-in with Young Justice: Phantoms. What do Mike and Ryan think of the weirdest cartoon this side of XTAS? Will this be the episode where the Titans finally get through to Conner? Will this be the episode where Rocket figures out how to make things work while sharing custody of her son? Will this be the Forager where Forager learns how to Forager? Tune in to find out.

Also, we the boys head to Punishment Corner, where Mike slipped up, and is forced to watch Morbius! Do people like movies better when they’re forced to watch them? And how will Ryan handle an entire segment about a movie he has never seen and will never seen!

Finally, the Taste Buds head to X-TASmania to discuss episode #403, Courage! As if it wasn’t bad enough they have to talk about Morbius, they also have to deal with superhero TV’s second most annoying character, Morph! Will this be the episode where Morph proves to be a cool guy? Doubtful!

All of that, plus reviews and discussions on every other comic-based TV show this week, including Fear the Walking Dead, Riverdale, The Flash, and a special report on the Stargirl issue of the Earth Prime comic book! That’s way way WAY too much show!
