Welcome back once again, Squadmates!

I bring to you our amazing... Episode 24 : The Two Year Anniversary – The Nightshade Odyssey

Then Ryan joins me here, as we talk about the Nightshade Odyssey that ran through Suicide Squad 14-16.

After I uploaded the episode, one thing I thought of I forgot to cover was the music.

In short, I love the music of the trailer.  For the rest of my thoughts, listen in....

Finally I wrap things up with Suicide Notes.
