That’s right, it’s an all-new episode of The Flickcast for your listening pleasure. We’re back to being on a roll: two weeks in a row!

On this week’s episode Chris and Joe discuss a bunch of new and recurring topics. Some of these include the newly released teaser for Star Wars: The Force Awakens,  the Flash / Arrow crossover epic extravaganza, new thoughts on the mid-season finale of AMC’s The Walking Dead and a whole lot more, more, more.

Picks this week include Chris’ pick of director Peter Hyams’ film Capricorn One and Joe’s pick of the still-in-beta Google Inbox. (If you need an invite, drop Joe a line. He might be able to hook you up.)

As I was watching the premiere of The CW’s highly anticipated comic series The Flash, it just seemed a little off to me. It started off lighthearted, focused too much on Barry’s obsession with Iris and his relationship with her father, Detective West. It tried to throw in little bits of comedy that just didn’t fit, and weren’t that funny anyway.

But to be fair to me, and the show, I’m coming off of two great seasons of the very dark Arrow series. And while Oliver Queen does make a cameo in this episode, it just didn’t quite grab me. I’m willing to give it some more time, because this is just the origins episode, and because of the track record of CW shows like Arrow.

I didn’t really care for any of the characters to be honest, or the acting of those portraying them. For the first time watching a CW show, I felt like I was watching something on a secondary network. It just seemed . . . well, lame.
