Clayton and Mike talk The Flash, The X-Files, vasectomies, Superman and Star Trek: Discovery.
Clayton and Mike saw the new “Ghostbusters” and talk about all the news from San Diego Comic Con, plus “The Night Of” from HBO.
For real, I did the math, if you count all the non-After Dark episodes, this is our 300th episode. Bully for us! Nothing has changed. The big cons are still tough to get into. Marvel is still killing characters but possibly not. One of the original indie comics that ended in 2004 is back. All this, what we read last week, what we’re looking forward to this week, Leonard messes something up in Cinemax’s Outcast again and AMC’s Preacher has more Saint of Killers than ever before.

So, Captain America said two words last week and nothing happened, right? No, of course people over-reacted and we talk about past stories that remained in tact since the 15-20 years since they were told. Also, Marvel has some weird marketing strategies and we try to figure them out to no avail (spoilers). And after an extended convention weekend review (there’s tons of them) we talk about what we read last week, what we’re looking forward to this week, talk about the season two finale of the Flash and a brief discussion about X-Men: Apocalypse.
