Host Introductions and Podcast Flow
00:00:57
Speaker
One, two, three, it's time for animation deliberation. A conversation and a celebration of our favorite action animated series. Yeah. All right, folks. Welcome back to the animation deliberation podcast. I'm your host, Jay Scottie St. Clair. And joining me as always for Young Justice, it's my co-host, Zuhair Ali. How's it going, Zuhair? Doing great. How about yourself?
Calderon, Aquaman, and Black Manta Tensions
00:01:25
Speaker
Doing good. You could say I'm feeling crash. Feeling the crash? That's right. That's right. Not feeling the mode. I'm feeling the crash.
00:01:35
Speaker
As stated at the top of the episode, we're here to tackle the next set of episodes that were curated by yourself as you've kind of been doing as we've been tackling
Artemis, Kit Flash, and Red Arrow Story Arcs
00:01:46
Speaker
Young Justice. So as per usual, I'll give you the opportunity to kind of describe why you thought these episodes stood out as a little individual arc, as well as which characters you want to kind of dive into first here.
00:02:01
Speaker
Yeah man, so the last episode that we wrapped up with kind of showed a really big storyline with Calderon being a bad guy now after the death of Tula and a lot of issues between Aquaman and the team and also finding out that he's Black Manta's son.
00:02:17
Speaker
So having to fight their team is kind of a big thing. We got a lot of what was going on with our old characters and new characters, but we didn't quite hit everybody.
Impressive Character and Show Development
00:02:27
Speaker
So these episodes give us the opportunity to deal with Artemis, Kit Flash, Red Arrow, and what their stories are after the events of season one. Definitely dwells into that. We get a lot more background for new characters and then we end it off on
00:02:45
Speaker
Pretty big episode that had me freaking out at the beginning of it. So I figured that was a good place to wrap everything up, talk about some new characters, talk about some old ones. What were your thoughts? As I've kind of said with each continuing iteration of this coverage, all I can say is I continue to be impressed. It seems like as the show continues and these characters grow and develop and get stronger and more confident, the show itself does the same thing. I kind of said it.
00:03:13
Speaker
in our offline discussion, I wonder what kind of budget increase did they see from season one to
Standout Voice Acting in Young Justice
00:03:20
Speaker
season two? Because the ante is just upped in every regard, from the action to the facial animations to even some of the voice actors they were able to bring in. I felt like there was definitely at least one standout voice that I recognized instantaneously and really struck a chord with me.
00:03:40
Speaker
But, yeah, as you said, it's the show continues to do an excellent job of taking these characters that we've learned to to love and appreciate and really get to know on a more intimate level over the course of season one and in the season two, as well as, you know, learning more and spending more time with some of these newer characters. It's been a real real treat as a as a fan of the source material.
00:04:06
Speaker
Yeah, I just really appreciate the way the show balances both spending time with old characters as well as getting introduced to these really new and endearing characters pretty quickly.
Jason Marsden's Role as Impulse
00:04:17
Speaker
So it means the behind the scenes guy who's the voice that stuck out too. Okay, so it's a it's a fella named Jason Marston who he's acted in a few live action things. I know he popped up on episode arc of Boy Meets World where he played his name's Jason, but he played a character named Jason.
00:04:36
Speaker
But outside of that, he actually voiced Max Goof for a very, very long run, including the Goofy movie. Who did he voice in? Oh, sorry. I forgot to mention who he voiced in Young Just. He does the voice of Impulse, which is one of the new characters we introduced to, but right off the bat, one of my favorites.
Artemis and Wally's Relationship Evolution
00:04:57
Speaker
Nice.
00:05:01
Speaker
Yeah, so you were curious about what was going on with Kid Flash and Artemis, so what did you think of their storylines coming back into the season?
00:05:10
Speaker
Yeah, it was super nice to get to see them again. The season has done a good job of kind of making us wait with bated breath as far as what they were doing. There's just been no context whatsoever up until this point. And then we find, yeah, they're kind of out of the game and they've embraced this relationship, which we got to see the beginning parts of in season one. And it's really interesting to see how full circle they've both come. They were both pretty,
00:05:40
Speaker
butting heads to put it nicely, but now they're clearly in love and he's mature. Wally, Kid Flash, it's kind of funny that he continues to be referred to as Kid Flash because he really has matured so much and he was played for so much comic relief in season one and there's still certainly that element that's just a through line of his character, but he's definitely handled with a lot more, he's given a lot more
00:06:09
Speaker
emotion, I would say. He's the positions that he's put into and the way they utilize him in the story.
Roy Harper's Clone and Larger Narratives
00:06:14
Speaker
He's kind of questioning his friend's chiefly nightwing Dick Grayson. So they were definitely good buddies, had a lot of laughs the first time around. But yeah, he's certainly matured. And I'd be interested to get your thoughts. We can kind of get into Artemis after that. But definitely nice to see their relationship blossom, as I mentioned.
00:06:40
Speaker
It's really interesting to see with this show how much they like casually bring things up. Not to divert from Kid Flash too much, but we had the scene where everybody was engaging
00:06:55
Speaker
the clone Roy Harper because he was just a mess trying to find out where the real Roy Harper was. And that's when Nightwing, Kid Flash, Oliver Queen, Dinah Lance and X Guardian all showed up just to find out that there was another clone. I know you were asking like at the last season too, like, what is his story? What's his origin? I was like, just wait.
00:07:23
Speaker
Yeah, there was just another clone entirely and when he said like oh yeah, he's my nephew. It's like no he's you So they just they casually bring these things up and like you see kid flash over there It's like yo kid you weren't in the last three episodes like how are you like? showing up and just I guess sivi clothes
00:07:44
Speaker
And he points out like, you retired. And that's when, you know, you see that they have a home, they have a puppy, they live together, they're in school, they're, you know, they're trying to, they're trying to live the civilian lives and just be like, normal people for as normal as those kind of people can be.
Kid Flash's Emotional Growth
00:08:01
Speaker
And it was, it was just wild to see. It's just like, man, like how much happened over the last five years or just you mate, just to make you an Artemis go like, man, we can't do this anymore.
00:08:12
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, it is super critical. And I'm glad you mentioned that that is actually the first time we get to see him, his his care for this version of Roy Harper, the guy that he went on the team so badly is kind of what gets him to even be there in the first place. Otherwise, he looked very happy with his his happy home life with
00:08:32
Speaker
with Artemis, but a couple of things that stood out to me in that scene where we got to see them doing, you know, the whole, uh, happy couple at home. Oh, did he mention that this, the test that he still had in the morning was for a Vietnamese classes? Is that something of that sort? Yeah. Being in the middle of a class or something of that sort. So that made me wonder, was he learning Vietnamese to have like a closer relationship with Artemis's family? Because if I'm not mistaken, his, her mother, uh, Leanne, like,
00:08:59
Speaker
she could be vietnamese or maybe i'm just maybe i'm assuming too much there but i kind of i kind of took that away and i kind of speaks to if it's the case it does kind of speak to um... kind of his character change there but then the other thing is uh... as thoughtful as he's become he did mention that he's forgotten valentine's valentine's day four years running running uh... uh...
Wally and Artemis's Normal Life
00:09:24
Speaker
yeah i'm glad you appreciated
00:09:28
Speaker
I like that she was like, I got you your favorite thing, all the food. Oh, they're so cute together. We know he has a hell of a metabolism. Yeah, needs it. So with Artemis, she doesn't join or she doesn't return to the fight until a little bit later. And part of that is kind of inspired
00:09:56
Speaker
by the fact that Wally West suited up when the aforementioned impulse showed up on the scene, we got kind of a nice, I won't call it a full on bottle episode because none of these episodes are bottle episodes. They all plant seeds for the larger machine that's at work there. But the fact that he suited up is a big inspiration for her to return to the fight.
Artemis's Return to Action
00:10:24
Speaker
And it was,
00:10:26
Speaker
She's one of my favorite characters and I have to think that the creators of the show and the animators of the show have a real soft spot for the Archer characters because between her and Red Arrow, Roy Harper, and even the speedy version that we get to return to in one of these episodes, they just always get some of the most high adrenaline and well-animated action sequences for my money.
00:10:53
Speaker
Yeah, I think they're trying to show that the the archers aren't messed aren't meant to be messed with. It's like, hey, we we add a value to the team. And they did that with Batgirl a little bit, too, when they were like, it's kind of weird that you're the only one that doesn't fly here. But she was like really helpful and really productive to the success of like what their missions were. So it's like, hey, don't count us out just because we're humans. Like we're we're here to work.
00:11:18
Speaker
Yeah, there were a couple of great moments like that where they had little jokes where they called people out for their names, which is a recurring theme from last season. They had the whole joke about why isn't Speedy the name of Flash's sidekick.
00:11:33
Speaker
But I love the Martian Manhunter surname call out that we got from Godfrey as well as the whole thing. Yeah, it is ironic that Batgirl is the one that can't fly, even though Bumblebee was there. She is Batgirl.
00:11:52
Speaker
So as far as their relationship goes and it being such a centerpiece to this, these set of episodes, it is the fact that Artemis returns to the fight and Wally has this hesitation that we get one of the most jaw-dropping dramatic moments in the series again.
Superboy and McGann's Breakup
00:12:13
Speaker
Her quote unquote death was so well pulled off. I was, I was,
00:12:20
Speaker
I wanted to text you immediately, but like I said, I knew we were going to be recording here before too long, so I wanted to save my raw reactions. But it was so well executed because not only did it make me really believe that we'd lost this character that I've grown to love,
00:12:37
Speaker
As much as Calderon had already broken my heart, I started to hate him. That quickly I was able to turn on him. Oh man, I'd love to hear what you thought. I know you're on what, your sixth watch of this series overall, but I have to imagine that's a really poignant moment that continues to strike a chord with you.
00:12:58
Speaker
That's definitely one of my favorite episodes in TV period. I was very vocal the first time I watched that because, like I said, I'm not a big comic book person or anything like that. So I don't have any reference to these characters. It's just I enjoy watching good television. And when that scene started off, I was like, first off, am I on the right episode? What did I miss? And then I was like,
00:13:24
Speaker
What is happening? We've barely even seen Artemis and now I'm just watching her get stabbed? What is going on? This show has no chill with trying to kill people off.
00:13:35
Speaker
Man, that was really difficult to watch. So we had the opening, so you knew that she was going to die at some point. And that made the conversation between her and Dick really interesting because Kid Flash says to Artemis, I'm not okay with you doing this. I don't know why Dick asked you to do this. He knew that we were trying to get out of this life.
00:13:55
Speaker
But the conversation wasn't even so much that what is something happens to one of us. It's just a matter of like getting obsessed with the lifestyle. Like there's something that's a part of this that they have difficulty moving away from. And in a past episode, we get to see that the result of what Wally is afraid of
Comparing Life Choices: Wally, Artemis, and Cheshire
00:14:17
Speaker
is happening to Artemis, a sister in Cheshire, still living the villain life and trying to take care of a child.
00:14:24
Speaker
Yeah, so it's like what what Wally is trying to prevent Artemis from doing is what Cheshire is actually living out That's a that's an interesting
00:14:35
Speaker
comparison there that i hadn't really connected to connected myself yet anything about it like that just now so it's just kind of like i don't have a second but yet and that the episode was really well done everything with art and this is broke my heart like actually counting off the cpr and superman or superboy saying that he can't hear the polls like and then having to keep the secret to that detail like she must have been at least like a little sick or something afterwards but like
00:15:03
Speaker
It was really intense. It was really well done. It's scary thinking that it was on Cartoon Network as a kids show. Right, right. Yeah, it's pretty intense. I imagine there were quite a few tears shed and I was on the verge of it. That's why I was super, super glad that they didn't hold off on too long. They didn't hold off too long on making, you know,
00:15:27
Speaker
letting us know what was really happening there, both for Artemis as well as for Aqualad. Because like I said, I was kind of seething there. Yeah, they even have the whole scene where like the whole league that's on earth is mourning her and really driving it home, making you think, man, this this this really happened. Jeez. The way he said it, she was like, welcome back. And then she just drops and went, whoa.
00:15:51
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Definitely. Yeah, seeing everybody crying and heartbroken and whatnot is just... And we get a glimpse of the fact that it's not the first time they've had to deal with this too, because we see the shrine of the fallen heroes.
The Deception of Artemis's Death Revealed
00:16:05
Speaker
See Kord, we see Tula, a character that we haven't seen before, Jason Todd.
00:16:11
Speaker
Yes. So I made note of that. That's confirmation that he, I said, it's confirmation that he's believed to be dead because you know, if you know anything about the character of Jason Todd, um, it is young justice and he's one of the young characters. I, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if he, if he shows up down the road. That's why I'm maintaining believe to be dead.
00:16:35
Speaker
Yeah, it's just wild that like within the five year span, Dick Grayson started doing his own thing. Jason Todd came in. So what, maybe two, three years he was robbing before he was killed by the Joker. And then Tim Drake came in. So within a five year span, like Batman's gone through three Robins. Yeah, I mean, Green Arrow kind of had that moment where he basically said his mentees were the poster children for Stay Away From
Mentorship Dynamics: Green Arrow and Batman
00:17:05
Speaker
the Stay Away From Green Arrow Club, but Batman's got a little bit of that baggage as well. I mean, did you have any more to say regarding Artemis in that mind-blowing episode? No, no, not too much. I mean, obviously, no, not for the mind-blowing episode. Obviously, we do see the return of her character later on, but we can tackle that when we get to it.
00:17:35
Speaker
Uh, because the other big conversation that happened in that episode was between Superboy and McGon in regards to how they broke up and everything. Yes. Yes. That gave, that provided quite a bit of context. Um, in the first couple of episodes, we had that, uh, episode on Ran and Rengar, I believe it was, uh, where Superboy opened up to Alana a little bit, but we.
00:18:01
Speaker
we learn the real nature of why he broke up with McGann and it's just, it's pretty heartbreaking in itself. I mean, Superboy is not the most emotional character. He certainly got some pathos and some angst and he's had his emotional growth along the way, but to hear him describe what McGann did to him and the way he was familiar with her touch inside his mind and the fact that he describes it as a perversion, oh my goodness, like,
00:18:31
Speaker
And it's, McGann's one of my favorite characters too. And it was a little tough to like see her kind of rebuff him a little bit. And she did apologize, but she didn't, she didn't seem as, as sorry about the, you know, abuse of her psychic powers as I would hope she would be. I mean, what'd you, what'd you think about the development of the relationship and, and.
00:18:58
Speaker
the context that we were provided there. It really has added to the level of maturity that we see in Superboy's development because he was just kind of like this angry kid that had to deal with this. I think this kind of pushed him to the point where he was like a little too heartbroken to care.
Superboy's Leadership Evolution
00:19:18
Speaker
And we have seen other episodes like when he teamed up with Blue Beetle and kind of went on a mission on his own, like
00:19:25
Speaker
He's focused, he's composed, but he's focusing on the missions to kind of vent a little bit, but he's thoughtful on his missions. It's not like he's, he's out of control and acting on impulse. So you see this level of just kind of like, it's, it's like, I'm just going to dive into work and I'm going to do a good job at it.
00:19:49
Speaker
Yeah, I could see that he still has feelings of resentment, so anytime you see McGann and Ligon together, it obviously bothers him, but like you said, he finds something to distract himself.
00:20:04
Speaker
It is nice to see him get to interact with a more rookie member of the team and actually step up as a bit of a teacher because he had so many great moments with Black Canary specifically last season. And he gets to have some of those moments with Blue Beetle where it's like, hey, didn't you do the homework? Freshmen never do the homework. You can't use sonic powers on this thing.
00:20:25
Speaker
And he kind of made the point that Dick Grayson's really not around that much. And with McGon being so busy with Legan, he has to kind of take that role a little bit, even if he doesn't want to.
00:20:38
Speaker
Yeah, no, we even get that moment where it's kind of played a little differently than you might expect when he finally gets the opportunity to don Superman's outfit. It's a little bit of a deflating moment for him. And then the one time he says he hates monkeys.
00:20:56
Speaker
This set of episodes is that he hates monkey suits. I love that so much. I was like, I'm going to wait for J. Scott to bring that one up. Yeah. Yeah. And Nolan North continues to do a really good job of, as I mentioned, when Superboy has a moment where he is or has those moments, I should say, where he's able to broadcast a little bit more of an emotional spectrum. Nolan North does a great job bringing it to life.
00:21:24
Speaker
So speaking of Magan and Lagan, first off, they have no chill with PDA.
La'gaan's Nature and Rivalry with Superboy
00:21:30
Speaker
It's like, calm it down, guys. We get you both live there, but it's like, you're in public space. But secondly, does Magan have a type of characters that just lose their shit really quick and get mad and get their asses handed to him? That seems to be what Lagan was portraying.
00:21:52
Speaker
his roles maybe it's a uh a white martian thing maybe they like him feisty like exactly that's all i can i love his line of of like oh you're stereotyping me for being the water person i was like well you're doing a shit job at it because three black manta ships just came in he took you long enough to notice yes they continue to uh
00:22:19
Speaker
make Ligon unlikeable. I noticed his use of Chum towards Superboy. It's kind of like that, I won't say backhanded compliment, but what's the description I'm looking for? Kind of just like a disingenuous term for friend. Chum is shark bait. He first refers to Superboy as Chum when they kind of have that brush in front of Megan and then later on,
00:22:48
Speaker
he calls Aqualad chum as well and we know how he has very vehement feelings towards Aqualad.
00:23:03
Speaker
F is for friends who do stuff together. U is for you and me. It is for no survival. I know I switched it up there on you. Down in the deep blue sea. Yeah. It is appropriate, you know, given his aquatic nature, but he definitely is a bit of a blowhard and that's appropriate as well, given his puffer fish
00:23:31
Speaker
nature, his ability to grow and strength and whatnot. But more like buffer fish. There we go. There we go. Hashtag buffer fish. No, but he refuses the... Who is it? Is it Superboy that tells him to stand down or is it Nightwing?
00:23:59
Speaker
Oh, it's Nightwing, because I remember he uses the terminology belay that, because I remember making note of that. Belay, in my experience, is a very nautical term. So Nightwing says it to Ligon right there, which Ligon obviously doesn't listen to. Some of his resentment towards Superboy makes him kind of rush into the scene unprepared. And he gets overwhelmed and gets captured.
00:24:28
Speaker
But the other instance was actually Aqualad.
Aqualad's Leadership and Tactical Skills
00:24:31
Speaker
He said, uh, belay that when he was speaking to his soldiers and that's when he actually, uh, they took off their helmets or he took off his helmet and went to the surface and had that showdown. Oh, the music when their head started coming out of the water. So it was scary. So well thought I was like, Oh, it's about to go down. Super ominous. Yeah. And the look on his face, those, uh, piercing, piercing white eyes, man.
00:24:57
Speaker
So well done, I love this show so much. Yes, yes, indeed. Mermaid McGon was pretty cool. Yes, yeah, super cool to see her gill up and I wondered like, what can't she do? Yeah, right? She's like the jack of all trades, like the, she really is the, I would argue the most invaluable member of the team between the psychic comms and shapeshifting and you know, yeah.
00:25:26
Speaker
phasing abilities, but she actually was kind of given an opportunity, not too dissimilar to Superboy, where she was able to showcase some of her experience and some of the skills that she's picked up as a tactical leader in that episode where we see her lead the team of the girl members of the team to Bialia, which resulted in a really, really awkward and funny joke with Batgirl.
00:25:56
Speaker
See, look at me messing up calling Nightwing Robin. That just shows my affiliation from season one. Well, man, it's been five years.
00:26:05
Speaker
That's right, gotta keep that in mind. But yeah, she says Queen Bee's not the only one that, what was it?
Humor in Gender Dynamics
00:26:15
Speaker
Can drive men crazy or can mess with the mind of men. Yeah, I like that so much, it was just like, why did you feel the need to clarify that it was an all-womens team? Would you have done that if it's all a male team? And he's just like, there's no right answer for this. I was like, good on you, man, for just being like, nope, I messed up, I'm done.
00:26:35
Speaker
And he doesn't even wait for response. He's just like, yeah, I'm gonna I really like that team I feel like there's a lot of times where Like the female team thing is just kind of like pushed but this was one of those instances where it's just like Hey, here's a few badass characters who just all happen to be female who you're just gonna keep loving from here, which I do and
00:27:01
Speaker
was a really awesome episode and them like portraying their skill sets and just being awesome was like yes I need to see more of them yeah they were all characters that we were well Megan was the only recurring character exactly yeah we'd spend a little bit of time with
00:27:22
Speaker
Barbara Batgirl, but that was always in context of the Bat family. So yeah, we got the little moments from the first set of episodes with Wonder Girl, but Bumblebee was very much a background character and she still continues to be a little bit. We did get the moments with her and Mal. Mal is definitely a character. I got to imagine at some point down the road, he's going to get his own episode and we can get some of his origins. But outside of that, she got her moments. We got the first
00:27:49
Speaker
Correct me if I'm wrong, we actually got the first time in this series that we've seen Ray Palmer. Right? I think he showed up once in season one. Did he show up? Okay, okay. I remember he was mentioned, but I couldn't remember that he actually showed up. But this is the first time he's had any kind of speaking role, as brief as it was, though. Well, Ray Palmer is the atom, right?
00:28:11
Speaker
Yes, he is. Okay, so the Adam's initiation was in season one. Yes, okay. But yeah, I don't think he had much of a speaking role. It was just that silly shot of him being tiny and trying to hold up his ID.
Ray Palmer's Brief Appearance
00:28:25
Speaker
He's not like Ant-Man where he retains his strength when he's tiny. Oh, I see. Gotcha, yeah. Yeah, I've got most of my exposure to that character was actually through Legends of Tomorrow and the character was originally introduced and I think as early as like
00:28:41
Speaker
Arrow Season 3, I wanna say? That sounds right.
00:28:46
Speaker
Yeah. Anyway, yeah, definitely cool to see, you know, the larger DC universe kind of get built out. But going back to these, these particular sets of characters, Bumblebee had that really funny moment with Batgirl. It was kind of, Batgirl got some of the most, the best comedy moments. Yeah. When she's in the vent shaft and Bumblebee just comes up to her face and it's just giant set of eyes.
00:29:14
Speaker
He's like, I'm so ready to be here. Yeah. And I love the fact that it was Bumblebee's plan. Like there was that moment where Wonder Girl and McGann met at the rendezvous point, but they were still waiting on Batgirl and Bumblebee. And when she shows up, they're like, oh, you're alive. And she's like, was that ever in question? Let's go. I got a plan. And it's, yeah, it's her plan that ends up saving the day. So.
00:29:40
Speaker
We don't get to spend the most amount of time with her, but the moments that we do, uh, they count. So there's a level of developed confidence that I've been appreciating and Megan in this episode, because she's very clearly in, she's very clearly the leader. You see, you see the confidence like in her voice and in her action, she comes up with plans. She's very, she's very good at morale too. Like when one girl is kind of freaking out, she's kind of like, Hey, you're doing a good job. Keep it up.
00:30:10
Speaker
And you see Wonder Girl's performance kind of step up from there too, aside from being caught. There is a very high level of confidence in these characters' abilities to work as a team and work together and come up with these solutions and their dependency on each other.
00:30:29
Speaker
Which is really cool to see that like kind of the the issues that the original five had to deal with Like it's not like we're watching these new characters have to do it again Like they've actually been very good mentors to this new team and developing their progress in their their teamwork ability Yeah, yeah, that's an excellent point because the the set of characters that they go up against her certainly know
00:30:56
Speaker
light hitters they're definitely like heavy hitters we get the return of like and just speaking into like the continuity that we get this series it's not to throw shade at any of my favorite series or anything like that but in a lot of these modern adaptations you only get the opportunity to get like
00:31:11
Speaker
one outing with some of the the big villains or whatnot but that's what's been really rewarding about this the show is we get to not only do we get to spend more time with the heroes but it's really cool to see the return of these villains over time so we get Simon who is kind of McGann's nemesis nemesis yeah at this point in the show as in terms of being like a psychic enemy I love the way she said
Alien Invasion and Meta-Gene Research
00:31:35
Speaker
ready for a rematch yeah yeah that was great that was great
00:31:40
Speaker
And yeah, as far as like her badass moments go to and speaking again to the teamwork when she's locked in that psychic battle with Simon, Icicle Jr. is getting ready to land that final blow and he brings up the fact that she kind of
00:31:53
Speaker
That's funny to say this, but she catfished him in a bell reef. It's the teamwork from Bumblebee zapping Simon, and she knocks him out. And then McGann gets a really badass moment where Icicle Jr. is like, uh-oh. Uh-oh's right. He just goes flying into the wall.
00:32:12
Speaker
Yeah, and these these villains also make it very clear that they have experience fighting the Justice League So it's not like they're going on these tiny recon missions anymore. It's like hey, you're fighting the heavy hitters You're just not gonna be on TV about it
00:32:26
Speaker
Yeah, who is it? I believe the woman's name is Devastation, the one that continually goes up against Wonder Girl and the one that drags her down in the first place. She's like, what kind of chance do you think you stand? I've gone up against the real Wonder Woman. And then Wonder Girl gets that awesome moment where she's like, yeah, but you haven't trained with her. And then she gets to lasso her and slingshot her right back into Mammoth. I was like, hell yeah.
00:32:48
Speaker
Yeah, it was it was awesome seeing Wonder Girl aggressive and it's funny because I have like your text up on my computer so the gift that you sent me of Wonder Girl like punching her and it's up there as you say that I'm like yeah get it Nice nice it was meant to be Yeah, we have a abduction issue going on Yes, yes, so that's a good opportunity to bring up. You know I
00:33:17
Speaker
season two does have the subtitle of invasion and We knew that the the light had returned by the end of the first set of episodes we'd covered but We get the introduction of this partner And we actually get a silhouetted appearance from him I believe we're led to believe that this is the partner because sports master refers to him as partner but I guess the
00:33:43
Speaker
Let me make sure I say this correctly. The Krolotayans, yes, were abducting and experimenting on humans as guinea pigs because they were researching the metagene. And never metagene I didn't like. That was such a silly lie. Yeah, Beast Boy gets me. Let me introduce you to Gene Gray. I might change your opinion.
00:34:17
Speaker
Oh, man. Yeah, yeah, we don't want any Dark Phoenix up in here. We'll take Paragon Falcons all day, but no Dark Phoenix this place.
00:34:29
Speaker
Yeah, so you obviously, you've seen the season in its entirety and you've seen the subsequent seasons. So you kind of know what's going on with this partner. But as far as me going into this series fresh, they're doing a great job of, as they did in season one, you know, threading, threading the needle and then getting us interested in this partner and having me question, you know, what exactly is his nature? We get, we definitely get a lot of, a lot of hints as to,
00:34:57
Speaker
what the nature of this partner is. I mean, at this point in time, I'm fairly certain it's alien in nature and they have the the keen interest in the meta genes because there were a couple episodes where we got like the framework where we got the perspective of these alien beings observing things from a monitor and they were constantly commenting.
00:35:18
Speaker
on the behavior of these characters and the metagene. In that Flash family episode where we first got introduced to Impulse, we also got the villain of Neutron, who was actually wearing some kind of containment suit that appeared to be created by
00:35:37
Speaker
this partner or partners, what have you. But I feel like I feel like I've been just kind of theorizing quite a bit. So I'll give you the opportunity to, you know, even with the context and the future knowledge you have, you can kind of speak to how you thought some of those storylines were introduced and
00:35:57
Speaker
maybe plant the seed for what's to come. Yeah, I just wanted to, I wanted to get you to speculate for all the listeners who are watching the show along with us right now who hadn't seen it yet. Right, right. Yeah, there's kind of been some hints already. I know I just spoke for a long time, but while you bring that up, I had to mention Lex Luthor, who continues to be one of my favorite characters in the show. Just such an excellent adaptation they're doing this time around.
00:36:24
Speaker
I love how charming he is. He's even more likable than some of the heroes I hate to say. I mean, but that's the point. Looking at you, Lagan. Lagan. That's the point is that he has this charisma and this stature that the people love about him. Even though our heroes that we appreciate and that we know are heroes,
00:36:52
Speaker
are just like, no, we know the shady shit that you're up to, bud. Yes, indeed. The reason I bring him up, though, is because he has that moment where Mercy's there beside him. And he says, who knew that facilitating an alien invasion would require so much paperwork. And it seems at the time, it seems like a throwaway line.
00:37:14
Speaker
But as I've already learned and mentioned in this episode, there aren't any throwaway lines in this show. So immediately when he said that, I was like, okay, he's a member of the light. He's facilitating an alien invasion. This season is subtitled invasion. What's going on? Who's he working with? Exactly. Exactly. I mean, while we're on the topic of Lex Luthor, what did you think of his interactions with the real Roy Harper?
00:37:43
Speaker
Well, I mean, I already kind of spoke to it. He came across just like he did with the
00:37:51
Speaker
clone of Roy Harper and Superboy in season one. He really comes across as a friend and it's interesting that he comes bearing gifts. He's the Santa Claus or whatever gift giving holiday figure you want to embrace. He is that for this universe.
Lex Luthor's Manipulations
00:38:10
Speaker
He gave Superboy his patches that allowed him to embrace his full Kryptonian power in season one. And this time around at the end of this particular set of episodes,
00:38:21
Speaker
He gives Roy Harper who will go on to embrace the moniker of Arsenal. He basically gives him a mechanical, what's the word I'm looking for? Like a cyborg arm that Roy Harper describes as more advanced than the one that Mercy Graves has.
00:38:38
Speaker
I like the fact that it just goes to showcase he's always prepared even when he's put in that situation where he's got an explosive cord wrapped around his arm. He did seem the tiniest bit unnerved, but he's always got a card up his sleeve. He's got stuff to gamble with. He puts out that briefcase.
00:38:57
Speaker
And Roy's like, you know, how do I know this isn't booby trapped? And he's like, well, I guess you really don't. You're just going to have to trust me on this one. And Luther even had the line of, I don't know what you're going to do right now. I'm just kind of praying for the best here. Yeah, exactly. Or he said something. The way he worded it, he was like, I'm dying to find out or something like that. And he just drew the fact that he's got an explosive on it.
00:39:23
Speaker
He's one of the, you know, best villains, um, in the DC universe and any adaptation. Um, while I'm just off the top of my head, while I'm thinking about him, he, I did love the fact that he made mention of Otis. And if you're familiar with like, uh, the Donner Superman from the seventies and eighties, there was the henchmen Otis that was first introduced in those films. So that was definitely a nod to that. Yeah. Yeah.
00:39:48
Speaker
I guess it was kind of interesting that Luther was the first one to even suggest the name of Arsenal, and he was actually very complimentary of Roy the entire time. Yeah, I guess that was kind of unique and interesting about that exchange. But as far as the fight with Mercy goes, Luther was kind of throwing his quips in there for, like I said, some of the best action
00:40:17
Speaker
in the entire show. Just really harrowing in the tight spaces with all the cars. You mentioned you hope Luther has a great insurance policy because we see a lot of cars get blown up in that garage. It's like he's either buying everyone new ones or that insurance premium is going to be pretty hefty.
00:40:38
Speaker
And man, his security is dog shit, too. Like, how long did it take him to like not only notice that the top floor had blown up, but that like all these explosions were happening in the garage like. Oh, but in regards to Roy's action sequence, like the buildup to it was so beautiful to like him being in the hospital bed and everyone telling him what happened. And then he's been out missing for eight years. And just like he wasn't angry at the clone at all. He was just angry at Roy Hart, Oliver Queen.
00:41:08
Speaker
have like, how'd you abandon me? Why'd you grow this goatee? It looks miserable. But it also, it kind of reminds me of Winter Soldier in the sense of he's been iced for eight years, he's missing an arm, but he's so combat proficient right as he wakes up.
Roy Harper's Combat Skills
00:41:28
Speaker
Like he knows where his stash is at and he's had no practice at all, but he has this ability
00:41:35
Speaker
And I kind of like say this is a martial artist that has like a jacked up shoulder too, where it's like, okay, I don't have one arm, I might as well make do with what I have. And he has that combat proficiency and that experience and that ability to just be like, this is what I have, this is what I'm working with. All right, let's go. Let's go get to work. Yeah, no, that's a great point to bring up. The Winter Soldier comparisons are there. And the fact that he's doing it with the missing arm does make it
00:42:05
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, missing arm. Yeah, and the fact that he's able to have that impressive of an action sequence while he's missing one arm. Yeah, yeah, just goes to show. And the other thing I appreciated that we actually experienced with both versions of Roy Harper is how the animators took the time to actually show the physical changes to their body. The first time we saw the clone version of Roy Harper, he was very, very gaunt.
00:42:34
Speaker
and obviously had the dark circles along here, the five o'clock shadow and whatnot, but I noticed how skinny they made him look and how weak he looked and obviously had that moment with Black Canary where she said, you know, you're at your prime, this is me taking it easy on you and I almost, you know, kicked you off the roof here, but same thing with the real Roy Harper when he's in that hospital bed just looking at, you know,
00:42:56
Speaker
the version that's had the opportunity to age five more years than he has. He looks very slender and young. And I like how they did like little subtle things to make a difference between the two. Like I noticed his hairline had a few more little flex and whatnot just to show it even as much as they have the same DNA. They are very different characters at this point in the game. And even X-Guardians like a little more buffed up than the other two.
00:43:26
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, definitely. I forget what his name's supposed to be. Jim, Jim Harper? Sure. Oh, yep, you're right. Okay. So I'm looking at Jim Harper. I was pretty close to Jim Halper if anybody's a fan of yours. I mean, I think Wally has a Jim Halper quip.
00:43:51
Speaker
So to change gears a little bit what were your thoughts on seeing Jay Garrick and the whole Flash family together?
Flash Family Dynamics
00:43:58
Speaker
Absolute pleasure the Flash family some of my favorite characters and Jay Garrick you know they stay true to that that Golden Age comic design he's got the tin the tin hat with the wings the bright red sweater with a
00:44:15
Speaker
a nice lightning bolt going across it, and the man is clearly up there in age, so... Was that 70 years married or something like that? I was trying to do the math on that, like, wait, did you get married when you were 12? 70th anniversary, yeah, that's wild. But Barry is a character that we really haven't got to spend too much time with, so it was really, really nice to
00:44:43
Speaker
you know, get some more of his personality and find out what actually distinguishes him from some of the other speedsters. And he's really got this kind of, it's not in the same vein as Superman in terms of being like a boy scout, yeah, a boy scout, but he is really well-meaning and kind of a goody two shoes. And I love the fact that they embrace the cheesy nature of like, be back in a flash. Everyone grows. Does he say that a lot and everyone just turns at each other?
00:45:13
Speaker
too often. Yeah, I like the way that he was like telling the citizens where to go and just being like super cheerful and then bossing the captain around. And yeah, he does have this energy. I just felt like trust me, everything's gonna be okay. But I kind of mentioned that the the top of the episode in terms of like getting to spend time with these speedsters and actually see
00:45:40
Speaker
their power set visually depicted in such a dynamic way. Super, super impressed with this episode.
00:45:49
Speaker
You know, it kind of retroactively gave some context to this version of Wally West. It seems, well, it doesn't seem like it was pretty obviously spelled out for us that he is significantly slower than both Barry Allen as well as Bart Allen. And Bart Allen gets the opportunity to throw a few digs in there about him not having, you know, Allen blood.
00:46:11
Speaker
Yeah, the island blood as far as the eyesight goes. And then there was that super, super funny moment where Bart and Barry are talking at super speed and the police chief is asking Kid Flash, like, are you getting any of that? And he's like, I got funnel cake. Every fifth word. Yeah, they're talking about the wind tunnels. And he was like, I heard funnel cake. Which really made me want one at that point.
00:46:38
Speaker
Speaking of high metabolisms, yeah, we could use a funnel cake right about now. We're about to feel the mode if we don't crash it soon, am I right? Yeah, right. As much as this was a Flash family episode, it really was a Bart Allen episode. And we learned a lot about his character in a very short amount of time. And I love, you know, I already mentioned Jason Marsden does the voice
00:47:07
Speaker
and the guy sounds like he had just like taken a little bit of helium and he's got like that sped up nature to his voice anyway and he just sounds like super excited about everything but it's even got you know
00:47:18
Speaker
time travel is is nothing new to science fiction or the comic books but it almost had like some terminator vibes where we get to see this dystopian future and uh... he claims to come back to the past as a tourist which uh... i definitely made note of because i don't know how familiar you are with uh... you know the flashes road gallery but reverse flash eubard thon that is famously his origin story he's actually a tourist that wanted he was
Introduction of Impulse
00:47:45
Speaker
such a big
00:47:45
Speaker
super fan of Flash. He became obsessed with Flash and wanted to become Flash and traveled to the past and tried to be Flash. And when he couldn't live up to what the Flash was, it kind of broke something inside of him. So definitely a nice nod there. I'd love to get some of your thoughts on the character of Impulse. I know I've been waxing and waning here, but that just goes to show how much I was endeared to this character very quickly. No pun intended.
00:48:10
Speaker
Oh, one quick thing I want to just a little detail that I really enjoyed was the fact that Flash has his suit inside of his ring. So seeing it like floating around and get in there and I was like, oh, that's such a nice touch. Yes, I love that. But yeah, it's really crazy to see that there's a future where Mountain Justice is like blown up. And despite Bart Allen's attempts, apparently like his his mission was to save the Flash, like the Flash is key to something.
00:48:38
Speaker
And despite saving him, that was still an inevitable result of what happens that Mount Justice sees its doom, that this is their base, this is where the Justice League first started, what happened to bring us to this point.
00:48:55
Speaker
But man, I love his character. He's such a fanboy of everybody. He knows that there's open records of everyone now. You know that Dick and Tim are still keeping their identity pretty secret because Gar was there and he was like, your name's Tim? Your name's Dick?
00:49:13
Speaker
I know we had a little, I guess I wanted to bring this up anyways, but the other like major female moment that we had was when they were at the bridal shower after Artemis's death. And you get to see like everyone in the casual stuff and then like gear up to kick Captain Cold's butt. So Barbara Gordon doesn't really care about her identity, she just kind of keeps it out.
00:49:38
Speaker
I made note of that moment because it was really funny that they juxtaposed, it was, I think it was the action sequence between, yeah, it was, oh yeah, yeah, it was when Speedy was fighting Mercy Graves. They cut between that and Captain Cole just basically like comically, like knowing that he doesn't even stand a chance. He's like, I'm doomed, all right. I love that little scene too much. Like I couldn't just not bring it up.
00:50:07
Speaker
oh yeah um so yeah it was funny that you know something happens where all these people's identity just kind of go out into the open too and impulse is just such a huge fan of everybody he's ruining like the future for everyone he was like hi mom hi aunt whatever uncle just like iris is like i'm having twins by the way i'm pregnant spoilers spoilers um yeah i just i love the high energy nature of his character like i'd probably want to smack him if i could if i was like in that room with him which a few people apparently wanted to do but
00:50:36
Speaker
It's just a very nice addition to the team at this point He's got he provides that energy that could flash always kind of had to everybody's a little more Because I mean kind of a biased opinion because nobody likes to look on anyways Nobody kind of has that attitude like dick is kind of like the goofball here and there just to kind of lighten up the energy but Overall, I think it's nice having this kind of consistent thing to provide that. Oh Yeah, definitely and I love how
00:51:07
Speaker
Everybody's trying to like understand the lingo like just like we are yeah, and I feel like by the end of the episode I finally got like a good understanding. That's you know Crashing the mode is a good thing, but feeling the mode is a bad thing. I Love that. Yeah, I love the guards like asking questions and he's like do I get my own reality TV shows like oh?
00:51:28
Speaker
What kind of things are you prioritizing right now? Yeah, his mom was an actor and everything too, so he's like ready to be on the camera. Yep, yep, yeah. Beast Boy was one of those ones we didn't get to spend a ton of time with, but we got such a poignant moment with him in the last episode arc. It just speaks to what the show does a good job
Blue Beetle's Struggles
00:51:52
Speaker
of. It kind of paces everything out. We get to focus on certain characters while the ones take a back seat and then
00:51:58
Speaker
you know, flush some other ones out. But the only other one that I kind of had on the table that we didn't get the opportunity to spend too much time on was the Jaime Reyes version of Blue Beetle. And definitely got some good
00:52:14
Speaker
Background provided for him in terms of him being a legacy character. It was really nice to get that name drop for Ted Kord Yeah, and as far as this universe his adaptation goes I'm this is what I'm gonna be paying close attention to because obviously he has this scarab on his back that he communicates with and he describes it as a Jiminy cricket with an attitude but in this universe apparently it's an AI that was created by Ted Kord and
00:52:41
Speaker
And I know in the comics, it's actually an alien origin, but I'll be curious to see what else is revealed down the line, because there were a couple of instances that made me wonder, is there more to be revealed there? Because the scare would say things like not compatible. And that was often in context to alien technology.
00:53:07
Speaker
But he's definitely a character that's kind of been played to comic relief, especially, you know, being one of the younger members of the team. But I really like how we got the...
00:53:22
Speaker
Did he get to spend any time with with impulse did their relationship start to they were talking in the in the sanctuary which I kind of wanted to bring up this point so this is the perfect transition is when they were talking in the sanctuary they were talking about how
00:53:42
Speaker
because Ted Kord passed away and he just kind of got the scare, like he doesn't have the mentor like everybody else does. Which was a really, it was a very, very nice conversation that I think I'm going to poke at Matthew Fox at Superhero Ethics about that standard of mentorship because he's heartbroken the fact, he's like, dude, you've only been here for a couple of days and you have two, three flashes to work with.
00:54:08
Speaker
Like Tim Drake has the whole bat family you have the flashes Superboy has Superman like everyone's got somebody I have to learn all this stuff on my own Like he's not even telling people that he's like talking to the scare like he finally broke it to Superboy but that thing is actually like attached on his spine and like taking over at times to like you see his His friend's dad like trying to abuse him a couple of times and he's just like don't kill him. Don't kill him. Don't kill him so like
00:54:37
Speaker
It's it's a real struggle and they kind of go back to that where it's like a lot of you I mentioned before like at the early stages of the team. They didn't they were kind of like neglecting to listen to their mentors and then the teamwork just wasn't a factor.
00:54:53
Speaker
A lot of the team has grown from this, the newer members have learned from this, but he's facing this thing where it's like, dude, I don't understand my powers quite yet. Like, I know I can be lethal, I know I can be helpful, but sometimes I just kind of lose control of this thing and I don't know what to do about it. Yeah, no, that's certainly true of the character. He's figuring this out as much as, you know, the rest of us are.
00:55:23
Speaker
Another cool thing that stuck out on your point of alien origin was the fact that he speaks to apocalyptic and Apolexian species. Yes. And the Krolotian species as well. Like it's interesting how much he has this ability to translate on an intergalactic scale.
00:55:48
Speaker
Yeah, I did appreciate that. The fact that as often as this show has done an excellent job of having these bombastic action sequences, it was a really nice moment that he chose to communicate. And it's even through the scarab, the scarab is kind of always like diverting to the most effective or like hostile, quickest way to get exactly the quickest way to get things done. And he's like, you know,
00:56:13
Speaker
Can I shoot him now? Communication is, yeah, he said like something along the lines like communicating would be like a sign of weakness or something. And he's like, wait, it's actually possible to communicate with him. And yeah, the fact that this creature, this golem doesn't even really want to exist. It was happier as like these separate pieces. And then it shows the, again, the mysterious partner that I don't have that much context about. He goes out of his way to destroy the creature with a similar
00:56:43
Speaker
sonic blast that kind of looked like it matched what Blue Beetle was doing so I definitely made note of that it'll be interesting to see who this partner is given the fact that he's got access to similar technology and he made the point to Sportsmaster that it was better that that thing be destroyed than to
00:57:04
Speaker
you know, fall into what they call enemy hands. But the other thing that stood out to me about the Appalachians is kind of going back to the sanctuary as well. It's the fact that the Justice League keeps these trophies of their enemies they defeated, which is kind of weird given the fact that, yeah, they don't want to have these statues of their fallen ones.
Justice League's Trophy Practices
00:57:26
Speaker
And I think it's Blue Beetle that mentions it was Captain Adams specifically.
00:57:32
Speaker
that said that, you know, they didn't want to do that. It was his call not to have these statues and they didn't want to show that they're vulnerable. Exactly, exactly. But it did give me pause and made me kind of make note. I'm going to be interested to see where Captain Adams
00:57:51
Speaker
I don't know, his motivations lie. We haven't spent terribly, terribly too much time with him, but he seems like he's, the few instances we have got to spend with him, he seems like he's very direct and to the point and mission focused a little bit more so than even somebody like Batman, like Batman has at least, you know, taken the opportunity to explain the reasons for some of his actions and whatnot, where I get the fact that Captain Adams a little more
Captain Atom's Leadership Style
00:58:20
Speaker
militaristic in his leadership. He seems to be basing off a hunch a lot more where Batman likes to come and pull the information. It's like, hey, this is a situation offhand. Let's just work with what we got. Yeah, yeah. So it'll be interesting to see what the Leaguers that have been off planet for so long when they finally do return or when we learn more about what they've been doing. I'll be interested to see
00:58:48
Speaker
if they're satisfied with maybe the way the league has conducted itself because, yeah, we really just, I mean, the show is called Young Justice, but we've really just been spending so much more time with the team forthright than with the Justice League at all, and yeah. Whatever little bits of the league that we get are very well placed. Oh, of course, of course, yeah.
00:59:11
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, we know that, yeah, Rocket and Zatanna are members of the league, so always nice to see them return. I did have to, you mentioned the bridal shower that we got. I couldn't help but make notice, or make mention of the fact that, obviously, Aquilad, the love of his life was too low, but he did have that kiss with Rocket on New Year's Eve, so I was like, okay. That was just a kiss. And then, oh yes, yes, on the subject of romance,
00:59:42
Speaker
You'll appreciate this. So we did get to see Zatanna again. And when we got that reveal about who all was in on the ruse regarding Aquilad being, you know, a very deep undercover member of a black man of squad trying to gain leadership to the light. They give Artemis this enchanted necklace that changes her appearance to everyone except for them.
01:00:06
Speaker
And Artivus wants to know how, or see there I go again, call him Nightwing Robin. She wants to know how he was able to get something so specific from Zatanna without telling her who it was for. And he's like, oh, we share a history. And then Kid Flash is like, oh. I love that so much. They're definitely my favorite couple. I knew you would. I need to see more of them together. It's such a nice relationship.
01:00:35
Speaker
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm Yeah, and you know Dick Grayson is a Character that has like we got to see you know his humble man Yes, he is a humble man. Yeah, that's what well I won't say that's what differentiates him from from Bruce Wayne, but we learned how different a leader he is from Bruce Wayne and
01:01:00
Speaker
He's not above compartmentalizing information. It was like in that episode where Artemis had her big moment. Who was it that even questioned while he was coming back into the field in the first place? Was it Superboy? It was either LaGone or Tim Drake. I think it was LaGone. Yeah, now that you say it was LaGone. Yeah. And he's just like, yeah, after running the team for the better part of a year, I just kind of was itching to get back and then find, oh, you sly dog. Yeah.
01:01:31
Speaker
But yeah, no, I mean, we definitely got some nice closure to the character, well, partial closure to the character of Roy Harper.
01:01:44
Speaker
And then, yeah, certainly I've made mention of the fact that Aquaman's pending induction into the light and the reveal of this partner and the exact nature of what they want to do with these meta genes as well as these observers of the future.
01:02:04
Speaker
I mean, I think those are the things to look at going forward. Is there anything I'm leaving off the table or any other takeaways that you felt were important as far as what to look forward to? Nothing, I should say.
01:02:21
Speaker
But one of the things that I told you offline was that it was bugging me, but due to the fact that I've seen Justice League doom, Carol Farris of Farris Airways was like a companion of how Jordan Green Lantern. It's cool how they dropped these little characters.
01:02:41
Speaker
And if you guys have some that we haven't mentioned yet, whether you've seen the show or not, where it's like, hey, this person came up or this person's a comic book person, like, feel free to like shoot us an email or a message and say, like, do you think these are because it's cool how they're like casually dropping these in here without it taking away too much from the story.
01:03:00
Speaker
Yeah, I'm glad you bring that up. We're definitely looking for, you know, communication with the fan base. So I set up a Gmail account. It's Animation Deliberation Podcast, all exactly how it sounds, at gmail.com. And then I set up a Twitter as well. If you want to follow us on Twitter, it's AnimationDelib1. Unfortunately, Twitter would not let me type out the whole Animation Deliberation, but you get the idea. AnimationDelib1.
01:03:28
Speaker
yeah follow us on there uh... as well as you know follows stranded panda go to stranded panda dot com to join the stranded uh... army give all the podcast a listen there as uh... well as uh... consider joining us on uh... twitch on wednesday nights we do uh... trivia there and uh... we do some fun games afterwards and then uh... you know the flagship show the mcu podcast they do live watches on uh...
01:03:54
Speaker
for Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which is going on right now. They do that on Fridays, and then they have their feedback episodes on Mondays. And then just to give a plug to another one of the shows, I know the guys on Binger's Assemble have been covering all the Godzilla films in preparation for Godzilla versus King Kong, which isn't animated, but there's enough computer-generated imagery in there. I think we could, you know...
01:04:20
Speaker
We could kind of have an opinion. Say we're excited for that without betraying our animation fans. Well, that's all I got. If you want to follow me, you can find me at Jscot for real on Twitter. That's J S C O T T number four R E E L. And then on Instagram, it's the same thing, but it's Jscotty instead. So I'll probably see if I can just get everything updated in uniform to Jscotty to make it easy on you guys.
01:04:50
Speaker
That's all I've got for this week. Uh, you know, look forward to our continued coverage of young justice. Zoo hair. Anything else? Yeah. If you guys want to follow me just from my personal nonsense, you can follow me at zoo seven, eight, six at Z followed by five years, seven, eight, six. Cool. Stay well.

There's a highway that stretches across the 93 days of summer, where worship isn't offered to the sun, but to the smoking tire, the S-curve, and the spin turn. And if you ride it, make sure you do it in a Dodge Charger, Challenger, or Durango. Because on this highway, the lines being blurred are the ones between drivers and demons. Welcome to Highway 93.

I had just moved to a new city and barely even knew where the grocery store was yet. When my car wouldn't start one morning, I didn't know who to ask about local shops. But I remembered a name from back home, O'Reilly Auto Parts. I called and they pointed me to a great mechanic just down the street. Now, I feel a little more at home.
01:06:36
Speaker
Auto Parts!
