The last part to our 3 part season premiere has arrived! In this episode we discuss the premiere episode of the newest television show in the Marvel Cinematic Universe 'MS MARVEL'. Ms Marvel is about the first Pakistani teenager in Marvel comics named Kamala Khan. Kamala is a superhero fan with an imagination, particularly when it comes to Captain Marvel; Kamala feels like she doesn't fit in at school and sometimes even at home, that is until she gets superpowers like the heroes she's looked up to. As usual we give our spoiler free thoughts and then break down the episode. But before we do so we take some time in the world of DC to discuss the brand new 'BLACK ADAM' trailer starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Also, we talk about the announcement from director Todd Philips of 'JOKER: FOLIE Á DEUX, the sequel to the 2019 film.

The latest film from the Wizarding World hit theaters this past weekend with 'FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE SECRETS OF DUMBLEDORE' (1:24). Can the spin-off Harry Project overcome the curse of controversy or is it time to hang it up? The WarnerMedia and Discovery (42:28) merger is complete and now the new CEO David Zaslav wants to make some changes to the DC properties. We finally got our first look at 'THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER' (1:10:24) with a new teaser and of course we had to give our thoughts and discuss the potential for the upcoming film.

Another video game movie has hit theaters with 'SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2' (1:34), does it follow the video game curse of being bad or retain the charm of the first film? Michael Bay is back! Not that he hasn't been making movies but his movies have seemed absent from being good for a while. 'AMBULANCE' (16:23) may be his return to his original self. In TV land, Apple TV+ may have a hit on their hands with the new show 'SEVERANCE' (34:32). Season 4 of 'THE MARVELOUS MRS MAISEL' (43:47) has concluded recently, 'GROWN-ISH' Season 4 (50:21) has marked an important milestone in the show, and we also talk about Episode 3 and 4 of Season 3 of 'ATLANTA' (55:27).
