May 21, 2019Episode 50: Hulk Through the Years
With so many different writers and directors taking on Bruce Banner and the Hulk, how to we reconcile all of this into a single long term character arc? Chris and Anthony are joined by returning guest, monster enthusiast, and Strange Magic fan Sam Riordan (@JustSamPlease) in this deep dive into The Incredible Hulk, Joss Whedon's Avengers films, Thor: Ragnarok, and the Russos'/Markus & McFeely's bizarre character choices in Infinity War and Endgame.
Content Warning: brief discussion of suicide when speaking about Bruce Banner in The Avengers

May 09, 2019Episode 49: Everyone Should Watch Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is making its grand return on ABC this week, so Chris wanted to spend time glowing about it. In a sort of interview format, Izzy presses Chris on why they think this MCU television show, with all of its initial bumps on the road, is truly an exceptional piece of television. Anyway, go watch Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., y'all.

May 03, 2019Episode 48: The Endgame Postgame
This podcast episode was inevitable—Chris, Anthony, and Thomas get into some of the nitty gritty of Avengers: Endgame. First, the trio recounts their experiences watching the movie in Pittsburgh, which basically included a giant group of college students invading a movie theater. The crew talks about their likes and dislikes, and get into some of the controversial aspects of the movie, including Thor's character change and the "exclusively gay moment" (Chris ain't happy about this one). Did Avengers: Endgame hit the right sweet spot when it came to fan service and shock value?

The MCU may be host to “the most ambitious crossover event of all time,” but what do crossovers even mean in the MCU anymore? Is this just one big mega-franchise, or rather a franchise of franchises? Chris and Anthony have their own crossover with David Frank and Hannah Frank from @TalkingTropes to discuss.
