The Flash Season 2: 20 WTF Moments From 'Family Of Rogues'
9. The Drugs Don't Work
Whilst family matters in the Snart household are clearly in the toilet, things arent all roses and rainbows for the Wests either. Following on from Joe trying to pay off his recently-turned up ex-Mrs, we find out just why the usually above board Detective West resorted to throwing a large wad of cash at a problem. In a bombshell moment, its revealed that Iris mother used to be a drug addict. Concerned for his daughters welfare, Joe felt that he had no choice but to cover up Francines issues over all of these years. Again, this was a move in which The Flash confronted some pretty serious issues for a show so often depicted as being merely about some really fast guy in a red suit saving the day.
Once described as the Swiss Army Knife of WhatCulture, Andrew can usually be found writing, editing, or presenting on a wide range of topics.
As a lifelong wrestling fan, horror obsessive, and comic book nerd, he's been covering those topics professionally as far back as 2010. In addition to his current WhatCulture role of Senior Content Producer and Presenter, Andrew previously spent nearly a decade as Online Editor and Lead Writer for the world's longest-running genre publication, Starburst Magazine, and his work has also been featured on BBC, TechRadar, Tom's Guide, WhatToWatch, Sportkskeeda, and various other outlets, in addition to being a Rotten Tomatoes-approved film critic.
Between his main day job, his role as lead panel host of Wales Comic Con, and his gig as a pre-match host for Wrexham AFC games, Andrew has also carried out a hugely varied amount of interviews, from the likes of Robert Englund and Eli Roth to Kevin Smith and the Russo Brothers, to Kevin Conroy and Frank Miller, to Bret Hart and Sting, to Mickey Thomas, Joey Jones, Phil Parkinson, and Brian Flynn, to many, many more. Where his beloved Wrexham AFC is concerned, Andrew is a long-standing season ticket holder and an FSA Award-winner for his time co-hosting the Fearless in Devotion podcast.
