BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER MOVIE REVIEW The Black Panther has died and thanks to Killmonger in the first film, there is no more of the sacred plant that connects a chosen Wakandan with their ancestors to take up the mantle and gain the powers. The world, thinking Wakanda is without a protector, has begun making […]

SHE-HULK: ATTORNEY AT LAW SERIES REVIEW After a freak accident, attorney Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) is contaminated by her cousin’s blood which contains lethal levels of gamma radiation. Ordinarily, that would mean death, but when your genetic cousin is Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), the Incredible Hulk himself, that means you get Hulk powers, too. Unfortunately […]

I AM GROOT SERIES REVIEW I AM GROOT: I AM GROOT! I AM GROOT? I AM GROOT… I AM GROOT… I AM GROOT. I AM GROOT. I AM GROOT… I AM GROOT, I AM GROOT. I AM GROOT… I AM GROOT! I AM GROOT, I AM GROOT, I AM GROOT, AND I AM GROOT. *TRANSLATION* […]

MS.MARVEL SERIES REVIEW This seventh Disney Plus MCU series is based on one of Marvel’s newer comic hero success stories, the teenager Kamala Khan. A huge fan of the Avengers and more specifically, Captain Marvel, Kamala dreams of what seems to be the impossible, becoming a hero herself. But, as it turns out she’s got […]

THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER MOVIE REVIEW You’re Thor? I’m so thor from laughing I can barely breathe. That was pretty much Chris, Danni, and Wright’s reaction to Taika Waititi’s follow-up to his wonderful (sorry haters) Thor: Ragnarok. Now with Asgard on Earth being run by Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) as a tourist attraction and Thor taking […]

MOON KNIGHT SERIES REVIEW In the latest Disney Plus/Marvel Cinematic Universe show, the action moves to first London and then Egypt. New York’s just got too damn many superheroes in it. Oscar Isaac plays Steven Grant, a man with sleep issues, lots of knowledge of Egyptian lore, but not much self-confidence. He works in the […]

DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS MOVIE REVIEW Benedict Cumberbatch returns as the Master of the Mystical Arts (but not the Sorcerer Supreme…that’s Wong now) and boy does he have his horribly injured hands full. While attending the wedding of his ex, Christine Palmer (Rachel McAdams) a giant monster starts tearing up the town, […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 300 – THE BIG THREE OH-OH FACE Chris and Aaron don’t have anything special planned for the big 300 episode I’m sad to say. Unless you count a show with pretty much all stuff we dug to one extent or another. From a DC hero filtered through Lupin III to one of […]

MORBIUS MOVIE REVIEW Sony’s grip on Marvel characters extends largely to Spider-Man adjacent villains and anti-heroes and they continue down this ‘MCU is not directly involved’ film path with Morbius. Jared Leto plays Michael Morbius, a brilliant scientist who is dying from a rare blood disease who is determined to crack it, to help both […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 297: THIS SHOW’S CALLED DIGITAL NOISE Chris and John do their home-release-review thing with a cool stack but wait! What’s this? They don’t see eye-to-eye on everything this week and there’s some amount of discussion on Edgar Wright’s latest in 4k, a big swing and arguably a miss from the MCU, and […]

HAWKEYE SERIES REVIEW It’s Christmas time in NYC and all poor Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) wants to do is get home and be with his wife and kids. But here comes this teenager, Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld), to mess up his holiday plans. She’s a very young woman who during the process of trying to stop […]

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME MOVIE REVIEW In retrospect, it seems like it would have made more sense to record this entirely as a spoiler review. Because those anxious to avoid spoilers aren’t looking at ANYTHING that even potentially could spoil something about “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and the rest of you already saw it. Some […]

ETERNALS MOVIE REVIEW Director/co-writer Chloé Zhao (“Nomadland”) unexpectedly joins the MCU to take on one of the most sprawling, esoteric, world-building tales in Marvel’s canon, the story of the group of immortals called Eternals, originally created by the legendary Jack Kirby. The ensemble of superpowered beings guides and watches over humanity, but only intervenes with [&#82...

WHAT IF… SERIES REVIEW We grew up reading those wacky “What if…” comics from Marvel that speculated sometimes seriously about alternate worlds where events happened differently in the comics, like ‘What if Captain America had not vanished during WWII?’ and sometimes not so seriously like with ‘What if the Avengers defeated everybody?’. This new anima...

VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE MOVIE REVIEW Tom Hardy returns as Eddie Brock, the investigative journalist who is cursed/blessed with a symbiotic relationship with Venom, an extremely powerful alien creature that both gives him immense power and totally f**ks up his life at every turn. As they unsuccessfully try to establish boundaries in their coexistence, […]

SHANG CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS MOVIE REVIEW A new hero is born in the Marvel Universe, grows up, hangs out doing Karaoke with Awkwafina in San Francisco, gets tracked down by his evil(ish) near-immortal father (Tony Leung) with immense mystical power, brought to China to help him try to track down […]

LOKI SERIES REVIEW The third of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Disney+ tie-in shows is here as Tom Hiddleston returns as Loki. Yes, he died in “Avengers: Infinity War”. But if you were paying attention in “Avengers: Endgame”, that earlier version of Loki who was captured and still a big-bad right at the end of the […]

BLACK WIDOW MOVIE REVIEW The time has finally come, decidedly long overdue, for Scarlett Johansson as the Marvel character Black Widow, to have her own movie. This new adventure, while being released post-mortem, explores what happened to Natasha when she was on the run from the US after the events of “Captain America: Civil War”. […]

MARVEL’S M.O.D.O.K. SERIES REVIEW Hulu, Robot Chicken, and Marvel team-up! Sounds like a one-off Marvel title in the 80s that probably would have had the “Not Brand Echh!” imprint on it. And so, in some ways, is this stop-motion animated show featuring Patton Oswalt as the voice of the giant-headed, hoverchair bound, supervillain (that was […]

THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER SERIES REVIEW The second of the Disney+ Marvel shows is here and although it wasn’t quite the watercooler discussion show the previous miniseries was, many argue it’s the superior of the two. The six-episode series follows, in the wake of Steve Rogers’ extreme age jump at the end of […]

WANDAVISION SERIES REVIEW Continuing where the MCU films left off, this first in a series of Disney+ mini series follows Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) as she lives an idyllic and literally sitcom life with her formerly dead partner Vision (Paul Bettany). It soon becomes clear (like, immediately, if you’ve watched “Endgame”) that something is way […]

HELSTROM TV SERIES REVIEW Remember when Marvel announced their “Adventure into Fear” franchise on Hulu that was going to interconnect Ghost Rider and more horror-themed Marvel properties into new shows? Well, all that’s left of it is this vestigial limb, the adaptation of their Son of Satan comics characters, siblings Daimon and (renamed) Ana Helstrom. […]

AGENTS OF SHIELD – SEASON 7 REVIEW Special Agent Phil Coulson and team are back for one last mission through time and space for the seventh and final season of “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” This show started with a lot of promise but found itself losing a lot of viewers super fast during its first season. […]

MARVEL’S RUNAWAYS (SEASON 3) TV SERIES REVIEW Hulu’s adaptation of Brian K. Vaughn and Adrian Alphona’s comic Runaways comes to an end…kind of. In this season, we primarily follow Nico Minoru (Lyrica Okano) and the team as they lead the fight against the magic powered nemesis Morgan le Fay (Elizabeth Hurley). And at some point, […]

GEEKS AT LARGE EPISODE 38: SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED Yeah, yeah, we know… Avengers: Endgame was released nearly 6 months ago, but you’d be foolish to think Steven, Neil and Taylor aren’t going to talk about THE biggest movie event, not only of the year, but maybe ever! So be sure to grab Mjolnir and your […]
