017 Ant-Man (2015) 14.02.2019 56:10

It's the insect-related hero you've all been waiting for: Spider-Man! No. Wait. Black Widow! Huh... not quite. Oh, right. Ant-Man! But at least it was directed by Edgar Wright. Oh, well... actually, it wasn't. But I'm sure it was good to go with a strong script. Actually... it needed an insane amount of rewrites. Yet, somehow, Ant-Man is the anti-Age of Ultron. Join Nico and Kevo as they say goodb...

016 Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015): Part 2 12.02.2019 1:02:02

When Joss Whedon began his work on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he set out to create a film so large that it would pull together all the threads of the previous five films. It went on to break records. When Joss Whedon exited the MCU, he left with a lot less fanfare. Join Nico and Kevo for the second half of Avengers: Age of Ultron, where vital characters show up with minutes to go! Nico and Kev...

015 Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015): Part 1 07.02.2019 1:04:49

72 hours can be described in a lot of ways. The Avengers choose to call it an age. Prepare for Avengers: Age of Ultron: 72 hours of life, death, birth, retirement, psychic visions, fake psychic visions, robots with puns, rash decisions based on fear, and so many deleted scenes that would have actually made this movie understandable. The Marvel Cinematic Universe ups its diversity as Nico and Kevo...

014 Guardians of the Galaxy (2014): Part 2 05.02.2019 56:30

Peter Quill is NOT the Lord of the Stars. At the end of the day, Drax is more about making new friendships than Destroying. We don't think Ronan accuses anyone of anything in the movie, like, at all. Except Thanos. Of being a bad boss. Gamora, Rocket, and Groot don't have codenames, so they don't get to play along. Moreover, they're not REALLY Guarding the Galaxy. They're advanced-trying-not-to-di...

013 Guardians of the Galaxy (2014): Part 1 31.01.2019 40:41

The Guardians of the Galaxy -- well, technically, no. They don't guard the galaxy. Come to think of it, they're not really guarding anything. They're a few anti-heroes with a mad-on against Thanos and his empire. It's not really about guarding anything, but rather about revenge for Drax and Gamora. Sure, there's Starlord, Rocket, and Groot. But even then, it isn't about guarding anything; it's abo...

012 Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) 29.01.2019 1:06:52

Captain America. Black Widow. The Falcon. Nick Fury. Maria Hill. I mean, how is this not an Avengers movie? Nico and Kevo examine Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the movie that takes S.H.I.E.L.D. apart (though the show keeps running), exposes traitors within the organization (we've only met one before), and takes the man pulling the strings off the map (Nick Fury shows back up in a few movies...

011 Marvel One-Shots 24.01.2019 32:38

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has become the most successful movie franchise of all time. Since Iron Man hit theaters, planned heroes, movies, and even media formats have come and gone. From Thor through Iron Man 3, the MCU produced One-Shots explaining away continuity hiccups, giving greater insight into lesser-seen characters, and generally meandering as they weren't really part of the films. Jo...

010 Thor: The Dark World (2013) 17.01.2019 55:42

Remarkably average! Unforgettably plain! Not really a big deal either way! But it's pretty, the cast is great, and it's mostly pretty fun. Nico and Kevo continue their charge through mcu.html with Thor: The Dark World. Discover how Thor was almost Wonder Woman -- well, no, not even remotely. But it's still a cool episode, so check it out!

009 Spider-Man(s): Far From Home(s) Trailer(s) Reaction(s) 15.01.2019 23:51

SOUND THE SPIDER-ALARM! SET OFF THE SPIDER-SIGNAL! CALL SPIDEY-1-1! Marvel Studios and Sony finally dropped the Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer, so -- of course -- Nico and Kevo leapt into action to break it down! Find out what made it into which version of the trailer (domestic vs. international), and find out who and what didn't make any version of the trailer. Plus, get a little bit of Nico a...

008 Iron Man 3 (2013) 10.01.2019 1:06:20

Nico and Kevo embark on a new leg of their MCU journey: Phase 2! Shane Black comes to Iron Man... and then they stop making Iron Man movies. Take a listen to the longest Iron Man film (and episode) as the pair investigate how the production team attempted to fit too many villains in one place!

007 The Avengers (2012): Part 2 08.01.2019 53:32

Continuing from the dramatic cliffhanger of last episode, join Kevo and Nico as they continue to question what is being Avenged! Listen along as they navigate the fight sequences! And say goodbye to Phase One of the MCU and mcu.html in this special bonus episode!

006 The Avengers (2012): Part 1 03.01.2019 44:34

It's finally here! A story five films in the making! Six heroes! Like 2.5 villains! An unforgettable epic! Join Nico and Kevo as they examine the first half of The Avengers. Look: they had a lot to say, so it's a two-parter. Just be cool like everyone was with Infinity War.

005 Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) 01.01.2019 57:26

What starts with a lot of Thor, includes a Stark, and has a lot of weirdly conflicting messages about relationships and trust? Captain America: The First Avenger. Join Nico and Kevo as they discuss why Nazis are bad, catchy jingles, and Nico's inability to tell how much weight he's squatting before they drive full force into The Avengers!

004 Thor (2011) 27.12.2018 59:21

Behold ye merry mightily husbands who speak upon... no, seriously, why did Norse Gods speak Olde English? Join husbands Nico and Kevo as they dissect Thor: The Good, The Bad, and The Obviously Studio Mandated.

003 Iron Man 2 (2010) 20.12.2018 1:03:02

It's Iron Man 2, so it's twice the Iron Men! (Well, no, it's 1.5x the Iron Men!) And twice the bad guys! (Technically, the 10 Rings was 10 guys and Stane made 11, and this is just 3... so it's actually a significantly lower number.) And behold... the fourth named woman in the Marvel Universe! It only took three films! Set your shit for Iron Man 2.

002 The Incredible Hulk (2008) 18.12.2018 59:08

It's time for a bonus episode! Join Nico and Kevo as they continue their journey through the Marvel Cinematic Universe and take a brief detour into the only film not produced by the Marvel Studios team: The Incredible Hulk. Listen as they were prepared to give it a chance! Hear as that hope slowly leaves them! Rejoice as they will never have to discuss this film again!

001 Iron Man (2008) 13.12.2018 58:33

Join Nico and Kevo as they rewatch Iron Man: the genesis of the Marvel Universe. Listen to them praise Robert Downey Jr.! And Terrence Howard! And even Gwyneth Paltrow! But also... be hyper critical of Jeff Bridges's performance! And be super attracted to Jon Favreau! Get ready to be a Man of Iron, watch as the the Tech Knight rises, and marvel as Tony Stark channels all the powers of a radioactiv...
