On this episode of The Flash Podcast, Andy is joined by Andrew and Ben from the Superhero Stuff You Should Know About podcast (which Andy guested on last month about Greg Berlanti's Flash movie script!) to review The Flash movie together as they went live on YouTube last weekend! After nearly a decade of waiting for Barry Allen's solo adventure on the big-screen, was the wait worth it? Together, the trio goes through what is essentially the final installment in the DCEU.

Worlds collide in "The Flash" when Barry uses his superpowers to travel back in time in order to change the events of the past. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to turn to. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian… albeit not the one he's looking for. Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry's only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?
