Alrighty, folks, we’ve come to the last of our alternative Flash shows: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. And we’re joined by the fabulous Nicole Sweeney of Snark Squad and Complexly! Woah, Caitlin and Nicole Prime are dazzled by her internet celebrity! And yes, obviously, Sweeney was informed of the rules for challenging Nicole Prime for Supreme Nicole of the Nerdy Podcasts, but she declined, to Nicole Prime’s great relief. We discuss the weirdness of messing with alien technology that’s giving off radiation. We also discuss the issues with suddenly depressurizing a plane. But most of all, Caitlin tries her best to scare everyone with true science.
Also, Caitlin admits that after watching this show, she actually misses a few things about The Flash?!?!? Barry, did you do a time hop and put us in an alternate dimension again, dang it?
