This week Asian Jon and Average Joe are visited by everyone's favourite wisecracking superhero who wears red, Deadpool!

We mourn the loss of Iron Fist and Luke Cage on Netflix- what does this mean for future Marvel streaming shows? But who cares about that when there is Deadpool to talk about!

How did he get into comics? When did he develop his charming persona? What has his track record been like outside of comics? We've got some answers (emphasis on some).

It's a very special episode as Asian Jon and Average Joe celebrate 100 episodes of bat-jarring with a couple of special guests, some surprises, and looking back on the series where Fox couldn't take the sky from Joss Whedon.

After a brief look back on our first one hundred episodes and a round of the news game, the crew discuss one of the most requested episode topics to date, the 2002 television series "Firefly". What was it about this series that made it so special? Why did it get cancelled after only one season? What kept Average Joe from watching the series for so many years?

Music and audio from "The New Batman Adventures" is the property of Shirley Walker, Alan Burnett, Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, DC Comics, and Warner Brothers Animation.

Music and audio from "Firefly" is the property of Joss Whedon, Sonny Rhodes, Greg Edmonson, Ben Edlund, Mutant Enemy Productions, and 20th Century Television.

This week Average Joe is joined by his brother King Boo to discuss a piece of 90's pop culture that many would like to forget about.

Tim Allen has claimed that Toy Story 4 will have a bigger emotional impact than Infinity War. What do the guys think about this outlandish claim? Is the man of sound mind? Is that even possible?

You've probably heard of the Power Rangers and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. But did you know that these two franchises crossed over in the 1990's? Two teams of multi-coloured heroes using weapons to fight villains. What could possibly go wrong?

Music and audio from "Power Rangers Ninja Steel" is the property of Noam Kaniel, Sally Campbell, Joel Andryc, SCG Power Rangers, Toei Company and SCG Distribution/Hasbro Studios.
