Reckless Speculation - The Flash

This week on Reckless Speculation, we speculate recklessly on the future of The Flash. We have our MBS co-host and Pop-Break.com's Flash correspondent, Nando bring on fellow Flash fan's and past guests Kevin Lourenco and Emily Hromada to give some of their crazy Flash theories. Emily wonders about Firestorm's introduction. Kevin thinks a main character is going to die soon. Nando explains his crazy theory that Barry's dad is the Man in the Yellow Suit and he is also Eddie in the future. Comment with your thoughts but go easy on Emily and Kevin. They're noobs. Make fun of Nando. He deserves it.
