We've done the "digital vs physical" discussion a couple times for comic books, but not for gaming. So that's what we're doing this! Also...we made it to 50 episodes? Kinda cool.

Bumblebee wasn't bad, and was a refreshing soft reboot of the Michael Bay Transformers universe. Can Rise of the Beasts keep the momentum going?

Is this the "final" Snyderverse movie? Everything DC is confusing when it comes to their movie universe and plans to keep things connected, and The Flash doesn't really do anything to change all that. Does Michael Keaton reprising his role as Batman save this thing? No. What about introducing Supergirl to the big screen? Not really.

It's not all bad, though, and in this episode we talk about everything we liked (and didn't) about Ezra Miller's Flash.
