GAR! 177: The Flash and the Colors of Evil

Download the MP3 here!

This week’s episode of The GAR! Podcast includes discussion of the following: the Agatha Knife game; the Nintendo Switch; Mario, Bowser and the hat game; white racist gloves; Carmine Infantino, the Flash, and the Colors of Evil; The Return of Barry Allen; generational superheroes; best and worst candy; Sugar Daddies and nougat; Trump trick or treat; Ray goes off on the opioids crisis; “Green Acres” in 2017; evil Alex Trebek; and the morality of Granny Clampett.

(Ray here. Boy, did I go off on the opioid crisis in America. I really hope we do more to treat this in America. According to Glenn, I went off for about 20 minutes here. If you don’t want to listen to me talking about the history of opioids in America, I totally understand. I’m not an expert, just an informed amateur. But if you’d like to learn more, I highly recommend this recent article in Esquire about Purdue Pharma and Oxycontin. In my opinion, the opioid epidemic is a uniquely American issue that requires a more sophisticated take than the old “just say no” slogan, and my heart goes out to everyone affected. And next week, I’ll try to be nerdier.)
