The Weekly Planet - The Flash (1990) - Caravan Of Garbage
Episode Date: March 2, 2023In the lead up to The Flash 2023 a movie that is probably coming out we're taking a look back at three propeties that tie directly (or indirectly) to the characters of The Flash, Supergirl and Batman.... To kick things off we'll be looking at the very much ahead of its time Flash series from 1990. Starring John Wesley Shipp who would later return to the character in the 2014 series, it's huge budget and cinematic nature put it a cut above what we'd seen on television before. But then they cancelled it.

Welcome back, everybody, to Caravan of Garbage,
where this week and for the following weeks,
we're well aware that the Flash movie is probably coming out,
and we want to honour that by doing some things
that are sort of linked to that potentially.
And we're going to kick off with the best superhero TV series of 1990,
Superforce.
Ooh!
You remember Superforce, James?
No.
Do you remember leaving a like on this video?
He's an astronaut, but then he becomes a cop.
He uses a highly advanced powered exoskeleton and a motorcycle
to fight crime in the city of Metroplex during the then future year of 2020.
The Transformer Metroplex?
Unrelated. He fights a Japanese
themed crime boss played by a white
guy with a moustache. And your question might be
is that guy G. Gordon Liddy?
Yes, it's actually G. Gordon Liddy, the
Watergate guy. He became
an actor. I don't know. Just for this
or other things? As far as I know
just for this. Came out of jail and they're like what what do you want to do, G Gordon Liddy?
And he's like, I want to be a Japanese crime boss.
Were you willing to do it on TV?
Yes, I am.
Absolutely.
Well, I consider a lot of politics just very performative in acting anyway, Mason.
I don't think there's a genuine one among them.
Oh my God.
I'll say anything.
You've changed the topic in a flash, James.
Wow.
Thank you for saying that.
And thank you for leaving a like, Mason.
You just brushed over when I said leave a like,
but I'm assuming that you did along with everybody else.
Clickety-click.
So, yeah, there was a show, another superhero show in the 90s.
Did it go for at least two seasons, James?
No, it didn't.
Superforce went until 1992, I'm pretty sure.
Yeah, but Superforce had the budget of one of these episodes.
That's true, it did.
The entire thing.
He just wears motocross gear, this guy.
Yeah.
Google it.
Yeah.
Well, they're going to see it, aren't they, in the video?
Yeah.
That wasn't just all blank.
Ben and Lawrence would have put Superforce in.
Yes.
Yeah.
So each episode of-
If they can find any existing footage of it.
Maybe just the VHS cover, I don't know.
It's definitely all on youtube yeah so each episode of the flash 1990 was budgeted at 1.5 million dollars which was the
largest budget ever for a series i remember reading a magazine because we had magazines back
then that had a big feature on the flash and i remember thinking my god over a million dollars
an episode yeah these days that's chump change you wouldn't even bother that's right that's about 2.2 million dollars i think in today's money that's enough for kevin
costner to just walk through the set of yellowstone it's not saying anything he just
opens the door walks through and he's out he's out the other side the accounts are sweating away
oh my god he's getting up for coffee now oh how we can afford this but yeah this was this was a
staggering amount of money at the time and straight away you know that there's a bunch of money in it
because they shot it in a real city, seemingly,
or they made it look like a real city.
It's lit well.
The music's incredible, which I want to talk about.
There's motorbikes.
They blow up a bus.
Motorbikes just like Super Force.
Just like Super Force.
I mean, they had one motorbike.
This has many motorbikes.
This has many motorbikes, but obviously inspired by Super Force.
You know what?
This show was obviously also inspired by Batman 89.
100%.
The suit is...
I mean, well, here's the thing, though.
I think it starts out quite Batman 89 inspired,
and then the pilot, and then just sort of drops off quite rapidly.
But I feel like the initial kind of setup
and a lot of the initial lighting and architecture,
and especially that suit. The musculature. Oh, my God. You know what? It's still and architecture, and especially that suit.
The musculature.
Oh, my God.
You know what?
It's still the best live-action Flash suit, I think.
Well, look, there's been 19 seasons of recent Flash.
That's true.
I'm sure there's a really good suit in there somewhere.
I've seen them all and not as good as this one.
Okay, fair enough.
Not even the one that's sort of nanotech and just goes...
Enough of the nanotech, though.
Please, everybody.
Please, if you could.
We want just a big crash helmet like Superforce. It's a big crash helmet. Enough of the nanotech, though. Please, everybody. Please, if you could.
We want just a big crash helmet like Superforce.
A big crash helmet with a big drop-down crosshairs on it.
Is his name Superforce?
What do you mean?
In the show, Superforce is the lead actor.
The lead actor's name is Superforce.
The character's name is Superforce.
But the character's name is Superforce.
Apparently, yes. But he's not a force.
No, he's just a guy.
I mean, he's a force for good, I guess.
Yep.
Yeah.
And I guess he could force his way through a door with that crash helmet.
You better believe he could.
He ran into it hard enough.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah.
But no, this is 100%-
His brother's a robot, James.
What?
And Patrick McNee from the Avengers is in a computer.
Wait, are they different characters?
Yes, they're different.
Was his brother always a robot?
No.
So his brother was turned into a robot.
Maybe.
Anyways. Yeah. Anyways.
Yeah, the Flash, though.
It has a theme by Danny Elfman.
Yes.
Which, you know, again, I mean, later in the series also,
they just put the Joker in it.
I mean, they call it the Trickster, and it's Mark Hamill, obviously.
It is, yeah.
But there's so much of this, which is they saw Batman 89,
and they went, I think we can do this on the small screen and i
think for the most part this is pretty this is pretty solid i think it's pretty solid yeah it's
very solid and it's very tanned everybody's so tanned one thing i couldn't get past yes in that
opening sequence is it how smooth everybody is especially john wesley ship yeah that if i saw
that and you didn't tell me, I just assumed
you de-aged him
to look like that.
He is so smooth.
There is not a blemish
on that man.
Okay, but is this a case of
one, like TV,
you know,
standard definition technology
was a little fuzzy back then.
Yeah.
And the fact that
when we watched a version
that was sort of remastered
maybe using AI.
That's true.
And into like a 4K
kind of restoration.
Yeah.
It's on YouTube if you want to watch it, by the way.
Yeah, you're absolutely right.
It might just be that.
But John Wesley Shipp, great Barry Allen.
First of all, Barry Allen should be a jock, I think.
Well, he is.
No, he is in this.
That's what I'm saying.
But all the subsequent ones, I very much enjoy.
I like Grant Gustin in The Rock.
Me too, I like him a lot.
But I feel like the essential element from the comic books
that's never been translated over except for John Wesley Shipp,
he's supposed to be like kind of a jock of a guy.
He works, you know, he's a chemist,
but he can also throw a football, man.
And a punch.
And throw a football and a punch.
Yeah.
Well, it's interesting because his dad hates him
because he's such a nerd.
Yeah.
Which is crazy because his dad's like,
well, first of all, his dad's not in jail.
But he should be in jail because he's so mean.
And he's like, when I was a police officer,
I got shot, then I went back to work the next day
and I didn't even take overtime.
And it's like, hey, man, you're a fucking idiot.
Did you ever consider that you're a total fucking idiot?
That's M. Emmett Walsh.
That's a delight.
No complaints there, obviously.
He's in Knives Out.
Remember?
He's the security guard in Knives Out.
He is, he is.
What a delight.
I love that guy.
Yeah, big fan.
But ooh, just the way he talks down to Barry Allen.
Like Barry Allen couldn't just throw him over a fence
and you'd never see him again.
You know?
Ridiculous.
He's got a best friend who's the guy from Becca.
Yeah, yeah.
Alex Desert, I think his name is.
Yeah, big fan of that guy.
Love him.
And his brother, who's an interesting fellow,
who also could have played his dad.
I know it's a hair situation, obviously,
but it's interesting that he gifts his brother a medal
at one point.
He's like, I want you to have this.
And his brother's like, hey, this is mine.
And he's like, yeah, I stole this from you,
but you can have it back now, 20 years later.
What are you doing, Barry, you sneaky little nerd?
Yeah.
Also, pretty solid special effects on the whole.
There is one moment where he first does,
he's like, he's fast running,
and they do it like Batman 1966 style.
They do.
A combination between Batman 1960 and Sir Digby Chicken Seas.
Just a little... If I didn't know and and sir digby chicken season just a
little if i didn't know better i'd say they just mounted the camera on his head yeah and pointed
it backwards yeah absolutely that's that not a great start to the super speeding i think no but
i think on the whole other than that not only does it look pretty good they do interesting things with
it there's a moment where he does like a card trick there trick. There's fun little moments like where he cleans up his
apartment, but then afterwards
he's just made more of a mess because he's still kind of getting
a handle on his powers. I think there's a whole lot of
little things like that which
I mean, they could have just made him zip and he does his apartment
in a second or whatever, but they don't just
do that. You know, there's
little bits of character that they put into it
and there's a learning curve. Let's talk
about the suit though. Okay. And there's a, there's a learning curve. Let's talk about the suit though.
Okay.
Again, it's, it's, it's, it's a red Burton suit.
I mean, it's also like a softer kind of like a velvety texture almost.
Yeah.
But he's got, again, he's got the jock width to him.
Yeah.
Which I appreciate.
And John Wesley Shipp ripped as hell.
Ripped as hell, mate.
Especially for 1990.
Yeah.
Unusual.
Keaton's not looking like that under the bat suit.
Well, that's what I thought.
Yeah. Yeah. In the Keaton's not looking like that under the bat suit. Well, that's what I thought.
Yeah, in the movies, they don't bother,
but which makes me also think that this is just what he looked like, right?
I think so, yeah. He didn't get fit for this.
And if you see him now, yeah, he looks amazing.
The only letdown on this suit, the legs, the boots.
Okay, sure.
Or lack of boots.
Yeah.
It's just all one color down to the end.
Yeah.
They didn't give him any boot tops.
They didn't give him any little lightning around the...
Well, it's one thing that he squeezes his way into.
I guess it is, yeah.
Yeah, I like it.
It doesn't need fake muscles really either,
but I think it's done well enough where it doesn't feel like ridiculous.
You know, I think when you get to like the shoe market era,
or even the original Batman...
I like how we're in so deep to superhero stuff that we're like,
this doesn't look that ridiculous.
Imagine anybody else in the world looking at any of these suits.
Yeah, you're right.
Objectively, of course he looks ridiculous.
Yeah, well, it's a superhero suit.
Yeah.
But it looks like they made it specifically for him also.
Yes.
It wasn't like they made the suit and then they cast the guy, you know.
I find the weaknesses that he has very interesting.
For one, he's bad at sex.
There's a joke where it's alluded to that he's too fast,
but it's not sex.
It's a different thing.
Horny TV series.
Very horny.
We've talked in the past,
especially when we talk about horny Dracula,
that horniness is left.
That Dracula was too horny.
I don't care what anybody says.
I'm glad they beheaded that guy. Yeah, absolutely. Bad news. But horniness is left that dracula was too horny yeah i don't care what anybody says i'm glad they
beheaded that guy yeah absolutely bad news but like horniness is he had to go mason i am aware
horniness is entirely left the superhero genre you're right there's none of it there is that
idea and i know there's been like think pieces that everybody's so ripped and tanned and shirtless
and whatever but nobody's ever touched anybody else in these movies.
Or if they have, it just feels like, I don't know,
they filmed the kissing scenes on different days
in front of different green screens.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Very sexless.
Because I feel like also they might go the other way
where they'll do like the boys, where it's just gross and grotty.
Right, yeah, you're right.
It's not so much like, it's not so much horny.
It's just like
here's an awful thing to look at here's an orifice here's some fluids what do you think about that
well i would say if you're on set of a superhero movie or tv series and you're thinking about
uh if you're thinking about maybe introducing some some more sexiness and romance yeah
If you're thinking about maybe introducing some more sexiness and romance,
fluids is too far.
Yeah, okay.
Maybe back up a bit. Back up a bit.
Back up a bit from that, yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
He also needs insulin or something.
Yes.
But I think that's interesting because he can't just run forever.
And I know there is that idea in the comics also,
and we've seen it in various know various live action incarnations that
he's got this very fast metabolism obviously so he needs to be constantly eating and refueling but
i think like working that into the character means that he can't just beat up all the biker gang
like immediately yes i mean he does for a lot of it but then he gets the last guy and he's like
bloody hell i'm tired bloody hell i'm glossy i'm so glossy he gets to the last and tired. He gets to the last guy, James, he gets to the last guy
and specifically he says, remember me?
And the guy should be like, yeah, I saw you like 30 seconds ago.
Like literally just around the corner.
I do remember you.
I mean, I know that's a callback from when I killed your brother
and I said, remember me?
But you weren't there for that.
So I don't know how you heard that, Barry.
Oh, yeah, I didn't realise that.
I think it's a coincidence.
Yeah, it's probably a coincidence.
Yeah. Wow, that's wild. Do you think maybe
the Allen brothers just have men?
As women,
our life stages come with unique
risk factors, like high
blood pressure developed during pregnancy,
which can put us two times more at
risk of heart disease or stroke.

That's sunrisechallenge.ca.
Memory problems.
Maybe. Maybe they've got some kind of hive mind.
Because the villain in this is the former partner of Barry Allen's brother.
Not a romantic partner.
No.
No horniness for them.
But they were both pals in the motorcycle division of the police force.
And the bad guy had gone bad.
He'd gone bad already.
He's also got, like, joke scars and whatever.
He sure does.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So that's another Batman thing.
And then he got put away in the big house
or he died in an explosion or something,
but he didn't really die.
So now he's back for revenge.
Yeah.
I think it's kind of a letdown, this guy.
I liked his, I think, yeah.
I know what you mean because,
and later in the series we get like,
Mark Hamill is the trickster,
but it's pretty low key the first episode
to be like 12 guys on motorcycles,
you know?
And I think,
you know,
there's that ominous threat of them driving down the street and causing
chaos and all of that.
And the police are like,
these guys suck.
And then reporters are like,
well,
maybe you should do your job.
Maybe you know what they do.
They blow up a cop car in like the opening minute with cops in it.
And there's no,
like these days there'd be a little additional dialogue. The, the the the car had exploded into atoms and then there'd be a voice
of her going you're right yeah i'm fine i'm fine we're both fine i dived out some fine i dived out
of the car down to this storm drain i mean i'm wet but i'm all right i won the lottery i found
a scratch card i'm rich too this worked out great for me, actually. No, they're dead.
Yeah, they're all dead.
Yeah.
But no, I totally see where you're going from.
But, you know, he has his little punch up at the end and whatever.
And he's got a love interest who I quite like as well,
who's a recurring character.
They lean away from the iris west of it all in this,
which I don't mind because I think he does have.
Well, he's got a love triangle of sorts in this. That's true. I can't
remember enough of the series
from when I
watched it in the 90s to know
but he's got both Iris West and
Tina McGee. Tina McGee. And spoiler
alert, James, in the CW
universe, John Wesley Shipp
makes a bunch of recurring appearances
as Jay Garrick, the Golden
Age Flash. Yep.
He's also Henry Allen.
He's also Barry Allen's dad, yeah.
And he also comes back in The Crisis on Infinite Earths as this Flash.
Yes, that's right.
And it's revealed that he and Tina got married.
And that's nice.
It's nice, isn't it?
Well, he's also the manifestation of the Speed Force or something.
He's also that.
Yeah, anybody who's ever been in either the Flash or Arrowverse,
and this is all obviously connected,
it's cool that they can bring people back from the 90s to the modern stuff.
I think that's great. But if you're an actor...
Using a process of time travel called waiting
30 years.
I think... And hoping they're not
dead. And in
shape. Oh yeah, that's true.
If you are an actor in
any of those series... If you are a actor,
James. If you are a actor, Mason.
That's how we say it in Australia.
You should know that.
I'm just confirming.
Yeah.
Just be prepared to put on different wigs and outfits for different universe dimensional versions of you.
Which I don't mind at all.
Anyways, though, I guess people might be wondering, you put all this money in it.
You cast it really well.
You know, you put some terrific special effects.
You've got a Danny Elfman score.
It cost $1.5 million an episode.
Did any of this pay off?
No.
No, no.
It was cancelled after one season.
So it first aired on Thursdays at 8, but it ran up against both.
9 Central.
But it ran up against The Cosby Show and The Simpsons.
And the show was cancelled because of high production costs
and a fluctuating time slot,
which also, obviously, people get confused when it's on.
You know, you can't just catch it later on streaming.
And I know a lot of people might be like,
yeah, we know that or whatever.
There's people who don't know that.
Sometimes things were just on the TV,
and if you didn't see it, you just never would.
That's right.
But now someone put it on YouTube.
Sometimes the entire series wasn't available on DVD.
Sometimes it was like the pilot episode of one more episode on VHS.
Yep.
It was down at the video shop.
And you go, do you have it?
And they're like, nah, it's out.
And guess what?
We weren't happy about it.
We didn't like it.
It's better now.
It is better now.
So yeah, they cancelled it.
But let's do some green trivia and also the guy who shouts Rodney, if you don't mind.
I would love that.
Now, according to executive producers Danny Bilson and Paul DiMeo.
Can I ask you this question?
Do you think Danny Bilson is related to Rachel Bilson?
Yes, they're the same.
They've got the same barber.
Okay.
Because I was going to say, because, wait, I'm thinking of the OC.
Yes.
Thinking of the OC. Mason, you've been too busy. Because he was Dawson's dad. John Wait, I'm thinking of the OC. Yes. Thinking of the OC.
Mason, you've been too busy.
Because he was Dawson's dad.
John Wesley Shipp was Dawson's dad in Dawson.
And I'm like, is that a connection?
It's not a connection.
They're different shows.
If you don't mind me saying so, Mason,
you've been spending too long driving in the sun,
looking out for number one, et cetera.
That theme song, Mason.
You better believe it.
Yeah, from one of those shows.
That's the theme song.
So in the DVD commentary, they said this.
Ha!
He's Rachel Bilson's dad.
Yeah, I know.
Okay.
I was about to tell you that.
That was my bit of trivia.
Oh, was it really?
Yep.
Here's a second bit of trivia, though.
Oh, just off the top of your head.
Yeah, this is unrelated.
Okay, all right.
So they also said, these two, if the show was picked up for a second season, the premiere
would have featured the trickster
Captain Cold and Mirror Master
teaming up to take on the Flash, maybe
open with something like that.
But also, I understand why you wouldn't
go super theatrical
comic book-y. Absolutely, yeah, yeah.
Like, I understand. He's just getting his powers, he's not
quite used to them, you know. Yeah.
A normal gang of guys can be
a threat to him, I get it. I get it.
There's that scene at the end where there's a scene towards the start
where a couple of the gang members want to get out of the life.
And one guy's like, I've been saving up all this money.
300 bucks.
300 bucks.
It's going to get us all the way to Pizza Hut.
All the way to Pizza Hut.
That's right.
And it's the 90s, so they're still in the hut-shaped buildings.
You know, because we're both in the 90s.
We can get the all-you-can-eat, which they still have in Pizza Hut.
And we'll have for forever, as far as I know.
It's called The Works.
Oh, hell yeah.
But you know that because you're in the 90s too.
Oh, no, the boss is here.
Ah, I'm being executed on a bike.
So, yeah.
That'd be embarrassing, that execution scene,
if they put him on the bike and they send him down the tunnel.
He just goes afoot and it sort of falls over.
Yeah, but he's a biker, so he wouldn't have.
Yeah, that's true.
He would have kept it beautifully balanced.
But no, I would have definitely tilted off to the side
and exploded into a wall and killed everybody in that room,
because why not?
But imagine if it was those three supervillains
showing up in garish Batman 60s villain outfits.
People would have been like, that's a bit much maybe.
So I get it.
I get it.
The second season would have also featured appearances
from classic Flash villains Vandal Savage and Weather Wizard.
And we mentioned this, but it is revealed in Crisis on Infinite Earths,
the crossover, that this shows Barry Allen and Tina McGee,
they eventually get married, giving the series' romantic tension a conclusion finally, I say.
I mean, they showed the full intercourse.
They did.
Yeah.
I think they're too far, I think.
I'm okay with it.
I mean, they didn't show any fluid, so that's fine.
So yeah, it's interesting because John Wesley Shipp was obviously already in the new Flash series
and then reprised his role as 1990s Barry Allen,
who's from Earth-90.
So that's a fun nod to the era that it's from.
Oh, yes, please.
Yeah, absolutely.
But he died also.
You remember this.
We were talking about it the other day.
The character, not John Wesley Shipp.
No, he's fine.
But what is it?
The cosmic treadmill.
Yeah, so it was supposed to be, you told me this,
but we thought it was going to be you told me this but it was supposed we thought it was going to be regular barry allen the entire plot the entire plot thrust of the last eight years of
the cw's the flash was that there was a newspaper from the future that said the flash was going to
sacrifice his life to save humanity and the whole deal was like grant gustin the flash is gonna die
how's he what's gonna happen he's gonna die here or whatever and then like right at the last minute
uh john wesley ship flash is just like fuck it i'll do it i'll do it yeah i'll do it drunk yeah i'll do it
what are we doing i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm having problems at home i'll do it yeah
she'll be right mate i'll do it don't worry about it just stop someone help me up here
she'll be apples mate and then he. And then he exploded into dust.
I did it.
He's not the only character and actor to return
because Amanda Pace returns as Tina McGee.
Mark Hamill also played multiple versions of the trickster as well.
There's one from Earth 1 and Earth 3.
So that's fun.
