Jon Reads Comics

In their latest outing, Jon and Lily spend some time talking about the various Vankos in Iron Man 2 for their MCU Rewatch. Then Henry Pym and his young companion take a vacation to Greece, where they have to figure out why a giant Cyclops has been terrorizing the people. I’m not saying it’s aliens…. And finally, Dr. Strange gains a nemesis in his second introductory tale.

Jon and Lily celebrate their quarter-century mark by first doing a lookback at The Incredible Hulk as part of their MCU Rewatch and then journeying to the concentration camp at Heinemund with Sgt. Fury. Also, they completely forget to notice that they’ve hit the big 25, but ah well.

This week launches a new segment as Jon and Lily begin an MCU rewatch in anticipation of Avengers: Age of Ultron. So hear their thoughts on the Phase Three slate and the first Iron Man film. Oh yeah, and then an Iron Man and Thor story as well.

This week, Jon and Lily are heading out of their usual wheelhouse to visit the Fantastic Four as Henry Pym gets called on by Reed Richards to help them enter The Micro-World of Dr. Doom!

A new character debuts in this episode of Avengers Inspirations, and as it happens, they just announced his movie’s release date. So get ready for some black magic from the Sorcerer Supreme as Jon and Lily shake hands with Dr. Strange! But first, Egghead’s back. Hooray!

Welcome back! This time out, Jon and Lily discuss Iron Man’s deadliest villain ever, the Actor (also known as NOT the deadliest villain ever). and Thor goes up against a new member of his rogues’ gallery with the first appearance of Chen Lu, the Radio-Active Man.

In this latest episode, Jon and Lily set out to address the very strange and unhealthy beginnings to the relationship between Henry Pym and his new partner, Janet van Dyne. The choice is to either be completely uncomfortable and weirded out or laugh at everything. You can guess which they choose!

Jon and Lily finally get to meet Samuel L. Jackson, back when he had two eyes and was a roaring army sergeant of World War II. And had a slightly different skin tone. Come give a listen!

Back in regular production of new episodes, this time out Jon and Lily watch writer Robert Bernstein tackle two of our Avengers, as Iron Man faces off with his nemesis Dr. Strange (not that one), and Thor has to make do against Loki’s magics without his hammer!
