Marvel's 2021 In Review Jan 10, 2022

Show notes

This week we're taking a look back at the year that was, and what Marvel's 2021 was all about. It turns out this was the biggest MCU year of all, with more hours of Marvel available than anybody could have imagined back when Robert Downey Jr first said "I am Iron Man."
With four films and five TV series, the MCU exploded outwards in 2021. New doors were opened, new characters introduced and new directions were explored. What worked? What didn't? And did DC even remotely try to keep up?
All of this and more this week on Marvelvision!

Special Q&A Episode Dec 30, 2021

Show notes

You asked, we answered. This week on Marvelvision your hosts take audience questions and try to give them our best answers. We had folks submitting via text and folks calling in, and that makes this a kind of fun and new type of episode for us.
The questions range from ones about the Marvel Cinematic Universe to ones about comic books to ones about us, as individual people. We got so many questions we couldn't answer them all, but we truly appreciate everyone who sent in a question, and we appreciate everyone who listens!
Happy new year!

HAWKEYE: "So This Is Christmas" Dec 24, 2021

Show notes

The best MCU Disney+ series ends its first season with a big fight, a big tree, and a big man. It's the big finale of Hawkeye and we go big talking about it. Also we go small: this episode I am locked in a closet recording, which leads to some nonsense like the mic being knocked over. Is it shaggy? You know it is.
Merry Christmas to everyone listening. We're going to be coming back next week with a wrap-up episode talking about all things MCU and live action superhero, and we'll be taking questions from subscribers over at the Patreon. If you're not subscribed, now is the time!
And while you're there, consider becoming a member at the $5 or above level so you can get access to Watch Men, our monthly superhero deep dive show. The latest episode sees us go almost four hours on Spider-Man: No Way Home!

HAWKEYE: "Ronin" Dec 17, 2021

Show notes

What's the story with this show? Why is it so good? And why does it have to end next week? We're not ready to say goodbye... especially after the big reveal at the end of Ronin. Plus, this episode is going to do for box mac and cheese what The Avengers did for shawarma.
We have limited news this week, at least partially because we are diligently avoiding spoilers for Spider-Man: No Way Home and trying not to cover too many of the news breaks coming out of that junket out of respect for you guys. We will be doing an episode of Watch Men about this movie that will hit next week, and it will be spoilers out the web-shooters, so make sure you're signed up at the $5 or above levels at www.patreon.com/cinemasangha to get that episode!
See you here again next week for the finale of Hawkeye, and then it's going to be quiet on the MCU TV front for a minute. But don't fret - we will be back in January with Peacemaker. Yes, we're hopping universes! Deal with it!

HAWKEYE: "Partners, Am I Right?" Dec 10, 2021

Show notes

This week on Marvelvision we ask the important questions, like: Is Vera Farmiga actually playing The Kingpin? Is Hawkeye the best Marvel TV show so far? Wait, does Kate have the dog with her at her mom's house? Was a scene or Kate learning to pick locks cut from episode one? What the hell is Letitia Wright thinking? And more!
We have a bit of lengthy intro this week, complete with a sidetrack into the history of Malibu Comics and its Ultraverse (which actually is Marvel related, believe it or not) and plenty of news. If you're not feeling the intro, skip to 39:34 and get ready to go deep on the latest shenanigans of our favorite archer duo.
Coming soon: the Watch Men episode about Spider-Man: No Way Home. It'll be available only to $5 and above subscribers at www.patreon.com/cinemasangha. What are you waiting for?

HAWKEYE: "Echoes" Dec 03, 2021

Show notes

Spoiler alert: this week's Hawkeye is excellent. Really just a great time, and it offers a lot to discuss. Stuff like: wait, is that the Kingpin? Wow, why haven't any of the movies made Hawkeye's arrows this fun? And can you believe this one scene made Derek cry?
In the intro we have some Marvel news, some of it very big! Spider-Man stays in the MCU for three more films, which might be spoilery for No Way Home but honestly we didn't need that weight on our shoulders in 2021. If you don't care about news, skip to 24:00.
We have three more episodes of Hawkeye and we are very excited for them - here's hoping this show sticks the landing.
We also have an episode of Watch Men coming up. That's our monthly superhero movie deep dive show where we go long on a new movie. December's episode will be Spider-Man: No Way Home. That's available only to subscribers at the $5 and above level, so head to www.patreon.com/cinemasangha to get in the loop! Go listen to our almost four hour long Eternals episode!

HAWKEYE: "Never Meet Your Heroes" and "Hide and Seek" Nov 26, 2021

Show notes

It's a new Marvel Cinematic Universe TV show! Hawkeye has debuted on Disney+ and we are here to tell you... it's pretty damn good! Is that a spoiler for our podcast?
This episode we talk about whether Kate Bishop is a Chevy Chase or a Bill Murray or both, we marvel at some of the best writing in the MCU TVverse, we try and figure out when the MCU is, we try and figure out how long it would take a firefighter to go from a fire to posting an Instagram story and we dive into a couple of Easter Eggs both obvious (is that a nod to Tigra?) but also really obscure (we actually had to look one up).
Plus: our shortest news intro ever, because we just did a whole hour long episode all about the news.
Hawkeye continues next week on this podcast; check out www.patreon.com/cinemasangha for our other podcast about superheroes, Watch Men. The last episode was almost four hours on Eternals! The next episode will be about Spider-Man: No Way Home! Get a subscription now and enjoy all the episodes!

Newsbreak: NO WAY HOME, SHE-HULK, MOON KNIGHT, ECHO and more! Nov 21, 2021

Show notes

We interrupt this hiatus to bring you a Marvel Studios news break! We're supposed to be back in a week to talk about Hawkeye, but there was a lot of news in the past few days, much of it coming from Disney+ Day, so we convened for this emergency ep. We needed to get all this news out of the way so that the first Hawkeye episode (which will cover two episodes of that show) isn't four hours long.
So we got on the horn to talk about Disney+ Day's various reveals, to clumsily try and sneak around Echo spoilers, we break down the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer, and we talk about the great Delroy Lindo and do that magic thing where we look shit up on Google as we record the episode.
See you next week for Hawkeye!

THE INCREDIBLE HULK RETURNS Nov 12, 2021

Show notes

We're between MCU shows so this week we deep back into ancient Marvel TV history with this spectacular superhero team-up TV movie that first aired in 1988. A reunion for the beloved The incredible Hulk series, The Incredible Hulk sees David Bruce Banner/The Hulk meet up with Thor and have little to no adventures and eventually become tangentially involved in some kind of heist thing.
This episode we cover a bunch of Marvel news (we've been on hiatus a minute), including the latest Black Panther 2 woes, Everybody Hates Chris (Pratt), Marvel movies at home in... IMAX?... and more. If you don't care about this stuff, skip to 44:45, where the Incredible Hulk Returns discussion starts.
By the way, in case you're wondering about our personal Incredible Hulk histories, here's a picture of Derek dressed as the Hulk for Halloween in the 80s.
If you like listening to us talk about Marvel stuff, consider joining the Patreon at the $5 or above level and get yourself access to Watch Men, our monthly superhero movie deep dive podcast. The latest episode is THREE HOURS AND FORTY FIVE MINUTES about Eternals. You get your money's worth.
Thanks for listening! See you again in a few weeks for Hawkeye.
