The finale of Superman & Lois brings an end to the decade long CW Arrowverse. We take the opportinity to pay our respects to Arrow — the show that started Biff — and the whole CW catalog of super-hero shows. Stay tuned to hear our picks for which characters should escape the dying of their universe and make cameos elsewhere. Host Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

How do you do a series finale without the star? With lots of tears, lots of guest stars, and lots of flashbacks, naturally. The former Speedy Arrowcast team reconvenes to do its final duty, covering the last episode of the show that started it all. We discuss character moments trumping plot, the template for future superhero show finales, and, of course, where exactly John Diggle’s fate might take him. Plus, we answer your letters about the Arrow finale. Lian Yu will live forever in our hearts, so why not get a commemorative t-shirt?

‘Tis the season for backdoor pilots, so we take a jaunt to Star City 2040 to visit with Green Arrow and the Canaries. We discuss post-Crisis implications, the importance of the “two moms” anchor dynamic, and how glad we are to finally see a truck heist. Over on our Letters Page, we prognosticate the next time Oliver Queen might grace our screens. And, of course, we encourage you to support this year’s member special where we create superhero cocktails. Just one more week before our Lian Yu t-shirt becomes obsolete. Presumably?

And so it ends back where it begins. On this week’s episode of Arrow we’re going back to an island, but not for five years. We discuss Ollie channeling his whiny younger self, why you should always keep DNA samples of your cast, and what the heck is up with these ghosts? Then in our Superhero Sweep segment we try to figure out what the fallout from Crisis on Infinite Earths might be and discuss the newly released Black Widow trailer. Finally, our Letters Page addresses some lingering Arrow questions. This Lian Yu shirt sells itself this week.

This week’s episode of Arrow throws us for a loop—a time loop. We talk about the lessons Ollie needs to learn before Crisis, the return of another much-missed face, and a fitting goodbye for both the characters and for us. Then, in our Superhero Sweep segment, we discuss the “problem” with Superman and talk very generally about the trailer for Birds of Prey and Watchmen. Finally, our Letters Page takes us into the realm of sports, and somehow nobody ever mentions Sportsmaster. What’s up with that? How do you dress in a time loop? In a suit? In a suit suit? Or in a spiffy t-shirt? To get your question discussed on the show, email us at biff@theincomparable.com or find us on Twitter. Host Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

What would the final season of Arrow be without a trip to Russia, that magical land where Oliver Queen did some Very Bad Things. And this time, bring the kids! We discuss a fitting cap for our favorite ex-gangster, possible motivations for Lyla’s mission for the Monitor, and why branding matters with your weapons. Then, in our Superhero Sweep segment, we talk briefly about Batwoman before we continue gearing up for Crisis on Infinite Earths, and in the Letters Page we’ve got lightning round, superhero shows for Apple TV+, and supervillain identities—oh my! Need that special something to wear when you’re in a underground cage match in Russia? Have we got the shirt for you!

We’re going BACK…to the present this week, as Arrow smushes together some disparate plotlines and this season finally starts to get in gear. We discuss standout scenes, conspiracy theories about the Monitor, and how you get cell phone reception in the past. Plus, have none of these people ever seen a time travel movie? Then, in our Superhero Sweep segment, it’s hurray for some sequels and speculation about the future of the MCU. Finally, in our Letters Page, we field an offspring-related query. What does one wear to blend in when thrown 20 years into the past? A t-shirt, naturally. To get your question discussed on the show, email us at biff@theincomparable.com or find us on Twitter. Host Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Our team of assassins turned heroes returns this week with episode 3 of Arrow’s swan song season. We talk about when an Indiana Jones homage doesn’t quite land, the characters that we wish were around this week, confusing motives from an inscrutable being, and a…surprisingly promising ending? Then, in our Superhero Sweep segment, we speculate about the announcement of a Superman & Lois show in development and whether the Arrowverse can support yet another super-show, plus rumors of a Green Lantern show over on HBO Max Awesome Supreme. Finally, in the Letters Page, we speculate about one thing that could improve a show. And Guy and John take new jobs in a surprising location. Want to blend in when you join all the other first-year assassins? Consider a spiffy shirt. To get your question discussed on the show, email us at biff@theincomparable.com or find us on Twitter. Host Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

The Greatest Hits of Arrow continue as we return to the scene of Season 3: Hong Kong. We discuss the callbacks that we appreciated, emotional conversations with some weight, and letting a spinoff stand on its own two feet. Plus, the twist that we sort of saw coming? Then, in our Superhero Sweep segment, we continue our discussion of Batwoman, and mull over Jeph Loeb’s departure as Marvel TV czar. Finally, in our Letters Page, we choose the superpowers that we’ve always wanted. Have you been stuck on an island for as much as a decade? Time for a new shirt.

It’s only appropriate that the former Speedy Arrowcast crew returns to a funhouse-mirror Star City for the premiere of Arrow’s final season. We discuss familiar faces with a twist, the zingers that we stood up and applauded, and threading the needle of a final season and a massive crossover. In our Superhero Sweep segment, we discuss the season premiere of The Flash and the much improved second episode of Batwoman, then take a jaunt over to our Letters Page for some feedback about the Arrow premiere and where our thinking is on Joker.

Better late than never! Everything comes to a head this week as our team seeks to stop the end of an entire world. Oh, and in Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD too. Important discussions include the size of Henry Simmons’s arms, why you should always suspect the person who takes an impromptu nap, and that friendly baker we’ll all miss. Plus, we discuss the late breaking news about SHIELD’s upcoming final season. Then in the this week’s Superhero Sweep we gird ourselves for the upcoming final season of Arrow, details of which are beginning to leak out, and discuss Spider-Man: Far From Home and its implications for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And a special matrimonial Letters Page. We’re still offering fabulous shirts, should your old ones be getting a little threadbare.

At last, the penultimate season of Arrow draws to a close. The city is saved…but what of the multiverse? We discuss why this season finale feels more like a series finale, housing prices in neighborhoods full of ex-spies, original Team Arrow moments, and the importance of having sentient bullets if you want to solve the gun violence problem. Also, there’s a very intense creepy guy hanging out in John’s office. And then, some sad show news as we announce this is the last episode of the Speedy Arrowcast…but we also detail our brand new show, coming next week!

Another week, another fan favorite character returns, and we here on the Speedy Arrowcast are psyched for this penultimate entry in the penultimate season. We discuss the importance of tripping balls at least once a season or so, how parkour can save lives, why sometimes it takes a ghost to convince you not to kill people, and why we avoided turning the show into a drinking game. Then, in our Superhero Sweep segment, we discuss the Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer and what it means for the future of the MCU.
