Amazing show and hosts

I love this podcast so much because I love DC and Young Justice. I love getting comic histories, Easter eggs, opinions, and so much more from Rich, Caleb, Emily, and Neal they really make it so much more enjoyable to rewatch the show and catch the little things. Also love your segments in each recap episode and the secret origins. Would love to listen to more secret origins for all the characters of DC heroes and villains.

Finally hearing someone rant about YJ

I found this through an article on DCU and it’s my new favorite thing! I loved young Justice since it came out but never talked to anyone about (13 year old girls are embarrassed for liking superheroes). Listening to others rant about their love for the show and DC, and analyze the show so in depth, has been amazing. Everyone does an amazing job and you learn so much about Young Justice, DC and so much more! I’ve never played a RPG but have learned so much about them. Thankfully I typically listen to this driving alone so no one has to hear my cackles or exclamations of joy/shock/surprise/sadness/etc. I’ve been bingeing them and can’t wait to catch up!

Definitely feeling the aster, no dis in sight!

I knew this podcast existed for a while, but I hadn’t gotten around to it for various reasons. When part 2 of S4 of YJ started up, I decided to start listening to the episode reviews and I quickly realized how much I needed to hear other ppl nerd out about this show too because I love it to bits but none of my friends watch it. Plus it was very amusing whenever someone on the podcast would say “I’d like to see this happen” or “maybe we’ll get this” back in S1 or S2 of YJ and I’d be grinning like an idiot thinking “just wait till you get to S4!!”

Needless to say, I’m very pleased after finding this podcast and finally being caught up with the review episodes. Can’t wait for the rest to drop, so I’ll probably go listen to some of the interview episodes while I wait for more Scream Something and episode deep dives.
