Hey there, Flashers! Oh, wait, I mean, friends! In this episode, Ross and I tackle a very important issue of The Flash. Not only is it a cool crossover between Earth 1 and Earth 2 characters, but it gives us the revival of the JSA as well! They'd been on a hiatus for quite sometime, but it takes a villain like Vandal Savage to bring them back together (thanks to Barry and Jay, of course). And if that's not enough, we had our own cheering section in the background for this recording (OK, they wer...
