Blue Beetle is now in theaters, but what did we think of the DCEU movie that is - but isn't quite - a DCU movie? Adapted from the comic book of the same name, Jaime Reyes gets taken over for a mysterious, powerful Scarab named Khaji-Da. But thanks to the help of his family, the legacy of Ted Kord, and the Scarab itself, he might just figure out how to be the hero Palmera City needs.

On the podcast, we break down our spoiler-filled thoughts on the movie, where Blue Beetle might go after that end credits scene, and what the box office reception means for James Gunn's new DCU.
