Ep 87: Static Shock

We're continuing our February super hero theme month with Static Shock.  Dave was down and out with the "sickness" (probably a Zombie or the Disturbed song), so Jamal Newman and Melanie Harker join Sean.  Sean had no idea that Static was based on a comic book character, Jamal laments that he was a baby in the 90's, and Melanie asserts that she's a renown expert on time travel.  Surprisingly, we picked a very emotional episode of this series where the writers did an amazing job showing our heroes vulnerable side through the flashback of Static losing his mother.  Things take a twist when that flashback become reality and Static gets his wish to see his mom again when he meets a "Bang Baby" with the power to control time.  Does Static change the past?  By interacting with the past, does it change the future outcome?  Is time travel in a cartoon really confusing?  (Yup, it's super confusing)  All of this and more on this weeks SMC featuring Static Shock!
