    Episode 35 - Everything I Ever

    Pro Hero EJ Pennyman and anti-hero Ryan Dalton, digress immediately. Delaying the long expected Dr. Horrible episode. This episode is chock full of references to 2008s Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog with very little by the way of explanatory commas. We do, however, explain all the ways Dr. Horrible subverts our expectations.

    Also, to make this episode more subversive: Act III Captain America: The Civil War spoilers.

    Full Lyrics to Bad Horse: Bad Horse Bad Horse Bad Horse

    He rides across the nation The thoroughbred of sin He got the application That you just sent in

    It needs evaluation So let the games begin A heinous crime, a show of force A murder would be nice of course

    Bad Horse Bad Horse Bad Horse He’s Bad

    The Evil League of Evil Is watching so beware The grade that you receive Will be your last we swear

    So make the Bad Horse gleeful Or he’ll make you his mare...

    You’re saddled up There’s no recourse It’s Hi-Ho Silver Signed, Bad Horse
