Summary

The Flash is giving DC Comics its own multiverse, but its star is giving... controversy. Ezra Miller was once considered The Next Big Thing in Hollywood, but after a string of arrests and destructive behavior... where does that leave us?

Sam is joined by Vox senior correspondent Alex Abad-Santos to get into all of it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
