Black Panther, Part 2 Mar 10, 2020

Show notes

If you thought the wait for our first BLACK PANTHER episode was a long one, then the wait for the second must have really caught you by surprise! With apologies from the Sound Lord (the raw audio was very rough), you can finally hear how Eduardo, Peach3z, Chris, Robbie, and Bailey felt about the rest of BLACK PANTHER, including a not-so-surprising near-unanimous MVP selection.

Black Panther, Part 1 Feb 13, 2020

Show notes

It's finally here: the long-teased BLACK PANTHER episode. And as it turns out, it'll be BLACK PANTHER episodeS, because everyone had so much to say! Bailey once again joins Eduardo, Peach3z, Chris, and Robbie to discuss one of the biggest movies of 2018, one that felt like a true cultural "moment."

SOUND LORD'S NOTE: We had a lot of technical issues recording these episodes, so our apologies for the audio quality.

Thor: Ragnarok Jan 24, 2020

Show notes

Hey, man.

Angela joins Eduardo, Peach3z, Chris, and Robbie to talk about Taika Waititi's THOR: RAGNAROK, one of the best examples of a movie sequel going in a completely different direction from its predecessor. Does the New Zealander's unique brand of comedy work to revitalize Thor, both the character and the franchise? How about the fact that it's also a Hulk movie? And a "Jeff Goldblum as himself" movie? And does this episode get derailed with a ridiculous argument earlier than ever? You know the answer to that one already. One thing everyone can agree on is that this episode has real BDE*!

Spider-Man: Homecoming Jan 10, 2020

Show notes

We're back after a break for the holidays with the first Marvel Studios/Sony Pictures co-production, SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING! Rebooting a franchise for the second time in five years is no easy task. How does Ol' Webhead's first big MCU adventure fare compared to previous outings? What's scarier: a supervillain, or meeting your prom date's dad? And just what should we expect out of our MJs? Join Eduardo, Chris, and Robbie for answers to all of these questions and more!

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (Vol. 2) Dec 13, 2019

Show notes

How could an episode be made into two parts with the split occurring at the very end of the movie's synopsis? Lots of disagreement about Yondu, apparently. Join Eduardo, Peach3z, Chris, and Robbie as they conclude their discussion of GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2. Where will it end up in everyone's rankings? The answer may surprise you!

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (Vol. 1) Dec 06, 2019

Show notes

It's our most contentious episode yet as the guys get together to talk about GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2! Battle lines will be drawn as Eduardo and Peach3z find Drax too ridiculous to take seriously, while Chris and Robbie want to focus on the heart beneath the humor (but also the humor). There was so much to talk about, we actually had to split this into two episodes! So come a little bit closer and enjoy part one of this wham bam shang-a-lang of a podcast!

Doctor Strange Nov 25, 2019

Show notes

It's time to step into the mystical side of the MCU with BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH PRESENTS: DOCTOR STRANGE. (Hang on, I'm being told that's not the title... oh well.) Eduardo, Peach3z, Chris, and Robbie are joined by Chris's brother Danny to discuss the story of a rich, arrogant genius who overcomes a tragic medical emergency and learns how to become a selfless superhero. (No, not that one. The other one.) The guys discuss the controversy surrounding the casting of Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One, debate the merits of the film's famously trippy visuals, and discover the surprising thing Danny has in common with the good doctor himself.
