·1 hr 15 min·5 clips
Future Beau warns his past self about blue roses and a timeline out of sync in the Flash finale.
The episode begins with a meta-sketch where a future version of host Beau warns his past self about the series finale, hinting at blue roses and timeline issues. Beau and Bell then introduce the final review, thanking listeners for nine years of support. Bell summarizes the plot: Eddie Thawne as Cobalt Blue uses the negative speed force to resurrect Eobard Thawne, Zoom, Savitar, and Godspeed, leading to a battle where Team Flash fights them with help from Nora, Cecile as Virtue, and others. Barry convinces Eddie to destroy the crystal, and later, Barry selects new speedsters like Avery Ho and Max Mercury. The hosts analyze the episode as a mixed bag, praising the concept of all speedster villains teaming up but criticizing execution, such as Nora vs. Savitar lacking emotional depth. They note how side characters like Cecile and Keon seem more powerful than Barry, shifting focus away from the Flash. Speculation arises about behind-the-scenes issues affecting the show's quality and cast chemistry. The hosts share nostalgic memories from podcasting, including Christmas specials, interviews with cast members like John Wesley Shipp, and fan interactions. They humorously derail into discussions about Cher and turtles, referencing past podcast segments. The episode concludes with reflections on the show's decline and farewells to the series.
