He's the best there is at what he does and what he does isn't very nice. Our massive Character Corner on the X-Man named Wolverine. Despite becoming overused in the Marvel universe, there are actually a lot of good Wolverine stories out there. A lot of the old stuff also holds up pretty well. Some of our favorite writers have also done short runs with Wolverine since there is a massive amount of content out there. We cover so much in this we made a decision that we will come back to do a second part that covers the enemies Logan has racked up over the years.

The NBA Trade deadline has come and gone and left me underwhelmed. We brought back Mike to break down the sleepy trade deadline, Ole Miss going full Ole Miss and more. Plus, we update our over/under predictions from episode 6, and celebrate cool collective nouns.

Legends of Tomorrow is back this week with a fun episode that explains what happened to the JSA and why they disappeared after a mission. There's a lot to like in this episode but its marred by Ray being stupid. We're going to need to start seeing some maturing and growth of Ray (and Professor Stein).

On Arrow its very simple: Thea Queen is right. Kriss stans for Thea and isn't shy about it. The rest of the episode is also pretty solid as well. Oh and Dpalm has some thoughts about the news of a Nightwing live action film.

Leave a 5 Star Review for us on the Super Tuesday feed and we'll read it on the next show!

Phenom, Kriss & Petty review Jordan Peele's directorial debut, Get Out. This is a film we've been waiting to see since it was announced. Peele tackles the African-American experience by using the micro-aggressions,  stereotypes and the attack on our bodies that we suffer from "well-meaning" white people. Yes, it's that good.

Look, this is the best comic book show on TV and it's not even close. And it really shines when it's going into a break. Not too many shows pack as much into 42 minutes of television like Agents of Shield and this episode, Self Control, has so much.

Kriss & Dpalm discuss Jed Whedon's debut as a director and how some of the shots in this episode were perfectly picked, the shocking twists and turns and then we end with everyone's favorite: Our predictions on who isn't going to make it. We then take listener emails (of which we got a lot) and then talk briefly about some Marvel TV news (Inhumans, Namor?, X-Men).

Gorilla City. They not only did Gorilla City on TV but added in a gladiator style fight in an arena between Barry and Solovar. Sure, this episode has some issue but...Gorilla City. At the very least we have to be happy with that. 

Kriss and Dpalm recap the episode and geek out about Gorilla City and we also talk about some of the problems and weaknesses of this episode, of which there are plenty.

Sometimes when interviewing an actual member of the sports media, it can feel like you've known them over 10 years. This time, it feels that way because it IS that way. My old Columbia classmate Lauren Brill is a sports reporter for WEWS (ABC) in Cleveland, Ohio, and took time out of her busy schedule to talk some sports. We cover what it's like to come to Cleveland in the craziest calendar sports year on record, the future of the Browns, and the joys of covering LeBron James. We also discuss her start in the industry, Chris Long skipping the White House, UConn's women breaking 100 straight wins, and Jim Dolan's flip flop on Oakley.
