Special Episode – Substitute Squad
When the Time Trapper attempts to encroach on the recording of an episode, Matt knocks him out and reboots the timeline. In the new timeline, the guys never started a Legion podcast. Their love of John Ostrander’s Suicide Squad led them to start up a show about The Wall and her little band of super-villains.
Happy April Fool’s Day, all!
