Episode 58: Spider-Man: Far From Home Hot Take Jul 11, 2019

Show notes

The so-called "palate cleanser" for Avenger: Endgame is here, and who knew that it would divide the AP Marvel crew as it did? Izzy, Thomas, and Chris dissect Spider-Man: Far From Home and its teen comedy, the specter of Tony Stark, and whether you take off your shirt or pants off first when undressing. All this and more in this contemptuous Patreon Early Access episode!

Episode 57: The Captain America 4th of July Special Jul 04, 2019

Show notes

Happy 4th of July to everyone except America itself! We may not be here to celebrate the country, but we're here to celebrate Cap. Sabrina, Anthony, and Leila go over the entire character arc of Steve Rogers, riffing off a rant from the absent Chris. Where did Steve's morals take him through his entire MCU journey? The APM crew talks this and more.

Episode 56: Thor, Endgame, and Mental Health Jun 29, 2019

Show notes

Thor went through some... changes in Avengers: Endgame. Chris, Anthony, and special guest Kayla Jouet (@oakayla) of recap podcast The Snap (@TheSnapMCU) discuss their problems. And on the other hand, the trio discuss the potential positives that Thor's transformation has on the fandom—can fans reclaim this new Thor with art and cosplay?

Episode 55: E3 2019, Marvel Games, and Square Enix's Avengers Jun 20, 2019

Show notes

After a full week away for the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in sunny Los Angeles, Chris gets grilled by Anthony on the hottest games there. They talk about Marvel games of the past, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, and that weird Avengers game that Square Enix has been working on for some time. If you reach the end of the episode, prepare for an unpleasant surprise.

Episode 53: Marvel-Fox Films—Gone But Not Forgotten Jun 07, 2019

Show notes

With an unceremonious end to Fox's line of X-Men and Fantastic Four films, Izzy, Chris, and Sabrina debate the merits on the studio's work in the past two decades. What else did we like, besides Logan and Deadpool? Which Fantastic Four version is worse? And how did Sabrina get so attached to the Elektra movie? Also, Bryan Singer and Brett Ratner are terrible people.

Episode 51: Does Hawkeye *Still* Need Fixing? May 24, 2019

Show notes

Time to revisit a previous topic! Izzy brings in Hawkeye fan Leila Jordan (@galaxyleila) and fellow contributor/StuCo teacher Erin Beasley to check back on Clint Barton, post-Avengers: Endgame. What could we expect from his reported Disney+ show with Kate Bishop? Why the hell did Endgame only show Clint killing people of color? What is up with that mohawk? This episode may very well have answers to all of the above.
