Show notes

WHAT IF...? poses its most grammatically confusing hypothetical yet in the fifth episode of Marvel Studios' animated Disney+ series, "What If... Zombies!?" Join Peach3z, Chris, and Danny as they talk about the disturbing comics inspiration for this episode, whether or not the balance of horror and dark comedy worked for them, and Bruce Banner's fingerless gloves.

It's substitute teacher day and there are no rules!

Join Peach3z, Kody, and Patrick as they discuss their confusion on an apparently strong love interest, one really out of place joke by The Ancient One, the possible implications of this series going forward, and much more!

What If…? - Episode 2, “What If… T’challa Became a Star-Lord?” Aug 23, 2021

Show notes

Another day, another universe, as Assembly Required gathers to ponder “What If… T’challa Became a Star-Lord?” This second episode of the Marvel Studios animated Disney+ series WHAT IF…? takes us to a universe where the Ravagers accidentally abducted young Prince T’challa of Wakanda instead of Peter Quill of Missouri, and to say things turn out differently is an understatement. Join Peach3z, Chris, Robbie, and Patron Daniel as they discuss a kinder, gentler Thanos, Nebula’s hair, surprising voice actors, and what it means to have one final performance from the late, great Chadwick Boseman as T’challa. Also: a special announcement about Eduardo!

The usual crew of Orang3z, Auditory Dame Angela, and Danny is joined for the first time by special guest Patron Bob to discuss the premiere episode, "What If...

Show notes

Pack your sunscreen and souvenir t-shirts, because Assembly Required is hitting the theme parks! Join Eduardo, Chris, Robbie, and special guest Angela as they indulge another one of their nerdy passions and talk about the classic theme park attraction THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF SPIDER-MAN! Hear the history of this groundbreaking ride (located at Universal's Islands of Adventure at the Universal Orlando Resort, as well as Universal Studios Japan in Osaka), the particulars of the extremely complicated Universal/Marvel/Disney theme park relationship, how we almost ended up getting a Batman vs. Penguin dueling coaster instead, and where this attraction ranks among the best of all time!
