199 The Falcon and The Winter Soldier - Episode 5 spoiler review Apr 18, 2021

Show notes

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier continues to get better and better with an episode that lives up to its title, "Truth." John Walker has stained the shield with blood. It's time for Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes to take it back. Of course, not all marks on the shield can be wiped away as Sam continues to contemplate his own potential future as the new Cap and what that would mean.

198 The Falcon and The Winter Soldier - Episode 4 spoiler review Apr 11, 2021

Show notes

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier delivered its fourth and finest episode (so far). Does the end justify the means? That question is asked and debated several times in this installment, showing us who these characters are and what they really stand for. Sam Wilson once again proves what makes him a hero the world needs while John Walker fails to uphold the legacy of Captain America in shocking ways. We discuss the ethical questions raised by this episode, Zemo singing, the brilliance of Erin Kellyman as Karli Morgenthau, a powerful moment for Bucky, the Dora Milaje, and where the series will go from here!

197 The Falcon and The Winter Soldier - Episode 3 spoiler review Apr 03, 2021

Show notes

His name is Zemo and he finally gets his proper title and mask in the latest episode of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier! The man who tore The Avengers apart is now the only lead Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes have as they try to uncover the truth behind the latest Super Soldier Serum. That's not all, however, as there are two more MCU returns in this episode, one more surprising than the other. Also, who is the Power Broker? We break it all down scene-by-scene, as we always do!

What Sam and Bucky learn leads to the revelation of a huge secret that stretches across the history of the MCU and is sure to have a major impact on this series. All of that, an archvillain name-drop, and more are broken down in this spoiler review!

193 Marvel Studios’ Assembled review, fan theories & final thoughts Mar 13, 2021

Show notes

Now that we know the whole story, it's time to see how the creators brought WandaVision to life. We review Marvel Studios' Assembled: The Making of WandaVision before looking back on the series and sharing some final thoughts (for now). This includes a look at some of the bigger fan theories that didn't pan out, like Evan Peters not being Pietro from Fox's X-Men universe, and the reaction to what the story was versus what some thought it could be. Wanda Maximoff examined her grief and her relationship with escapism. Now, we examine our own relationship with our preferred source of escapism, the MCU, and discuss not falling in love with speculation at the expense of the story being told.

Show notes

This is it: the series finale of WandaVision! All remaining questions are answered, and a few new ones are created, naturally. Wanda Maximoff battles Agatha Harkness. Monica Rambeau takes on Fietro. Vision confronts Vision. The fate of Wanda, her family, Westview, and much more are all at stake in this epic, emotional conclusion to one of the greatest stories the MCU has ever told. We break it all down, and finally meet The Scarlet Witch in this podcast!

191 WandaVision - Episode 8 spoiler review Feb 27, 2021

Show notes

It's been Agatha all along! Our latest WandaVision spoiler takes us through the traumatic and tragic journey of Wanda Maximoff. Agatha Harkness is after the secrets of The Hex that she hopes will be revealed by Wanda's truth. In the process, we get expected and unexpected answers to some of the biggest questions of this series. As always, new questions come up as the stage is set for what should be an epic finale. Let's not get ahead of ourselves, though, and instead take the time to appreciate this episode as a true Marvel Masterpiece.

190 WandaVision - Episode 7 spoiler review Feb 20, 2021

Show notes

WandaVision is breaking the fourth wall (again, technically) as things break down inside of Westview. Wanda and Vision are apart, emotionally and physically, with unexpected obstacles standing in the way of reconciliation. Dr. Darcy Lewis and SWORD operatives are getting acclimated to the circus of their new reality. Agnes is on babysitter duty for Billy and Tommy. Monica Rambeau continues to impress with empathy and heroism that have made her rookie run one of the best in MCU history! We cover it all along the way to some fresh speculation over how it may all end in this spoiler review!

Hosted by Sean Gerber and Paul Hermann.
