With the Flash about to make his solo debut on the big screen this week, we thought it was a perfect time to dip into the archives and watch the Scarlet Speedster's FIRST movie: the feature-length pilot episode of the 1990 THE FLASH television series!

Why did the show not go the distance? Has it outraced its era? Give it a listen to find out!
