[TV Review] “The Flash” Episode 115, ‘Out Of Time’
By Brady Steele / twitter: @mrbradysteele. With ten episodes to go before the season finale, things are starting to escalate quickly, which is saying something on a show like this. This show’s producers are really good at keeping lots of plotlines spinning at the same time and this week is no exception. In this week’s episode, ‘Out of Time’, old scores are brought back to be settled between Detective Joe West (Jesse L. Martin) and the revenge-seeking new Weather Wizard / Mark Mardon (Liam McIntyre). Mardon’s weather control is much deadlier than his dearly departed scumbag brother from the first episode. This is just one more quality casting of a Flash Rogue which I’ve no doubt will play out spectacularly down the line somewhere.
Tearing through everyone in the way, Flash, the police and the S.T.A.R. Labs team try to keep Joe at a distance before anyone else can get hurt. With all this going on, the suspicions behind Dr. Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh) motivations finally come to light with disastrously tragic results for everyone involved. The twists keep coming as love stories, time travel and disasters all strike Central City literally at the same time. I can only imagine it being a bit confusing to a non-comic book fan but ratings suggest otherwise which is great to see.
As a fan of the lore of The Flash, I`m aware of things that will likely happen. I know when certain names pop up, that means this person will be either being a bit player or a major character in the story. As I`ve said before, these showrunners are ambitious and my previous theory of building a TV Justice League-type show was already confirmed a few weeks ago with the CW announcing another spinoff show featuring characters from both Arrow and The Flash. Having said all that, I really don`t know what`s going to happen next which makes this a great show to watch week in and week out. Like every good genre show, the last minute really keeps viewers pumped for next week. The hooks keep coming and I want more!
SCORE: 8.5 / 10 BOLTS

‘Curse of the Where Wolf’ Bites Into August Release With Trio of Werewolf Theatrical Screenings [Exclusive Preview]
Larry Chaney‘s hairy misadventures are continuing in the sequel graphic novel Curse of the Where Wolf from creative team Rob Saucedo, Debora Lancianese, and Jack Morelli, and its author is celebrating with a trio of horror’s greatest werewolf films.
The Curse of the Where Wolf hits shelves on August 7 from Encyclopocalypse Publications.
That coincides with the launch of a theatrical screening event in Houston, Texas, featuring a trio of seminal werewolf flicks turning 45 this year: The Howling on August 7, Wolfen on August 14, and An American Werewolf in London on August 21.
Each screening features a “werewolf in film” presentation as well as a book signing from Where Wolf author and River Oaks Theatre artistic director Rob Saucedo.
In the new graphic novel, “Being a werewolf sucks. Reporter Larry Chaney wanted to be a hero. Instead, he became a werewolf. Now, caught between incredible new powers and a desire to eat everything (and everyone) in sight, Larry must find a cure for his curse. Or die trying.”
“With Where Wolf, I wanted to tell a whodunit set in a furry convention, so the story was pretty contained within a very specific setting and genre. With Curse of the Where Wolf, I wanted to celebrate everything I love about the possibility of comic books. Curse of the Where Wolf is a funny book, in every sense of the phrase, but it’s also an earnest look at a person’s struggle to become a better version of themselves, especially when the alternative is to become a literal monster,” Saucedo says of Curse.
The original graphic novel was previously serialized as the first webcomic hosted on Fangoria before being collected by Encyclopocalypse Publications in 2023 and has already been optioned for film, podcast, and television development ahead of launch by producers James Fino (“The Freak Brothers” for Tubi, “Rick and Morty” for Adult Swim) and Charles Horak (First Date for Magnolia Pictures).
Expect Larry to find himself in even weirder situations in the 362-page full color sequel; Saucedo has provided Bloody Disgusting with exclusive art pages from the upcoming graphic novel that showcase lupine humor.
