Continuining Superhero July, we are back once again for the latest MCU film, Fantastic Four: First Steps. 'Marvel's First Family' finally joins the MCU after 3 outings in the Fox-Marvel Universe, and comes at a very interesting time in the franchise as they are looking to set up Avengers: Doomsday while also remedy their own brand problems from the past five years since Endgame. While we certainly...

For our listeners who both have and haven't seen this movie, we have both a spoiler-free and spoiler-filled section of our discussi...

We've finally made it to the end of Phase 2, with the Age of Ultron!

Did you miss us? After a bit of a summer break, we are back with a brand new episode to celebrate a (belated) 10-year anniversary of Guardians of the Galaxy! Directed by James Gunn, this movie was truly one of the big swings Marvel took that really cemented its dominance in the cinematic landscape at the time by introducing us to heroes that not even comic book fans were very familiar with. But we...

Pretty wild that we've already been at this for one year! We couldn't skip posting today, and are bringing you a discussion on, arguably one of the best MCU films period, Captain America: The Winter Solider.

Hope you're ready for the sequel to end all sequels, truly one of the movies of all time, Thor: The Dark World, with Chris Hemsworth back as the titular Thor as he takes on Malekith the dark elf. Truly an iconic movie within the MCU filmography and Phase 2 overall. Ok, enough sarcasm, but seriously we do think this one is an interesting discussion where we dive into everything Thor 2, good and bad...

Happy March! In celebration of Robert Downey Jr.'s recent Oscar win for Oppenheimer (congrats to him!), it seems fitting to discuss his last solo outing as Iron Man in one of the unique entries in the Infinity Saga, Iron Man 3. Definitely a movie we haven't seen or thought about in a long time but certainly a worthy three-quel in Tony Stark's character arc. And yes, of course we discuss THAT major...

A super-sized episode to wrap up Phase 1, we finally dive into The Avengers! Directed by Joss Whedon, this movie definitely changed the game for the superhero genre and it was worthy of a giant episode to cover everything in it fully.

As the new MCU movie, The Marvels comes out today, we would like to take a look back in this episode and "marvel" at Chris Evans first outing as Captain America in Captain America: The First Avenger. Definitely a movie we feel gets better with each viewing and is our last phase 1 movie before the whole team comes together in The Avengers. We hope you join us to meet our last core Avenger and join...

Happy Thors-day (Thursday) and Happy Loki S2 Premiere day! Keeping the Thor love going by diving into the next movie in the MCU and looking back at his first outing, the eponymous "Thor", directed by Kenneth Branagh.

And we march along to the third movie released by the MCU, Iron Man 2! Helmed by Jon Faverau again, this one is certainly more of a mixed bag, but not without its fair share of highs as well.

So another major Marvel movie came out this past weekend and yet again, we are overflowing with thoughts and opinions coming out of this absolutely bonkers movie. We decided to take the leap of faith and dive into a brief spoiler discussion of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Surprise! We recently saw the newest entry in the MCU, Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 3, and had a LOT of thoughts coming out of the movie. We figured an extra, short episode was a great way to just process our thoughts and share what we think about this movie.

Kicking off the first episode of a brand-new podcast! Our Marvel movie rewatch starts now! On its 15th anniversary, we are looking at the movie that started it all, Iron Man! It stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwenyth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges, Terrence Howard and is directed by Jon Faverau.
