Matthew is back baby! The full band is back together to discuss the whole of the Hawkeye series with forays into the Marvel marketing machine, finding an entry point to the MCU for newcomers now and how on earth the US school grading system works. Here is a comparison between the UK and US schools levels, if you're equally bamboozled. *PLEASE NOTE WE DISCUSS SPOILERS FROM THE START AS WE ASSUM...

Matthew's still on sick leave so we're holding off on going into detail on plot, character, etc until all three of us are back for a detailed wrap up of the full Hawkeye series in January. For this pod, Abbi and Laura jumped on Zoom to chat through our instant reactions, which may or not have resulted in 45 minutes of ramble about Yelena's hair and makeup...Happy Holidays and a Marvell...

Real life got in the way of recording so we've had to combine the first 3 episodes of Hawkeye into one discussion. Sadly we are temporarily down a host but here we are here!

You may be able to tell that we're rather excited to be recording together again after a month's hiatus, as we start with mayhem and then descend into chaos.
