The Good Place

Holy Mother Forking Shirt Balls! Welcome to The Spoiler Place, where Mike and Jim take a spoiler-filled, character-driven journey through one of their favorite television shows of all time: The Good Place.
This Peabody and Hugo award-winning comedy series, created by Michael Schur and starring Kristen Bell, Ted Danson, D'Arcy Carden, William Jackson Harper, Jameela Jamil, and Manny Jacinto, inspires a lot of philosophical tangents during this episode about what it means to be a good person, why you should be a good person and, if you're not, how you can become a better person.

Crisis on Infinite Earths

Mike and Jim discuss Crisis on Infinite Earths, the 2019-2020 CW/DC Arrowverse television series crossover event spanning episodes of Supergirl, Batwoman, The Flash, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow, during which Mike constantly mispronounces Stephen Amell's name and overreacts as Jim constantly spoils all things Arrowverse.
Jim also spoils the comic book series of the same name that the crossover story is, in part, based on, but since those comics were published 35 years ago, he doesn't feel guilty about it.
