Coffee and Deathsticks

Marvel's first family comes home as The Fantastic Four make their Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. This is the fifth iteration of a Fantastic Four movie and the 37th film released by Marvel Studios. That number is not a reference to Clerks, though Dante would probably feel the same disgust towards Marvel as he did his girlfriend when he learned about her and the number 37. There have actually been 37 films released as part of the MCU in just 17 years, which feels like the right moment for the comic OGs to check-in for the first time. Because of this staggering number, Danny and Kevin do everything they can to avoid talking about the film. There was no Mike Francesa talk this week, but the duo do question whether or not Shrek is more culturally relevant than The Avengers, why the MCU is losing its imprint on the industry, and if Franklin Richards was conceived immaculately.

Danny and Kevin continue their summer sojourn at the cinema with Superman '25. The film is the first entry in the new DC Universe franchise, the fifth superhero film directed by James Gunn and (depending how you count) like the tenth or twentieth theatrically released Superman film. Does the world still need Superman? Does the world want Superman? And what exactly makes Superman such a super man? These questions, as well as others such as "How did Chris Christie's audition to take over for WFAN's Mike Francesa go?", are answered in the latest chapter of John Byrne's seminal Coffee and Deathsticks run.

The hotly anticipated Jurassic World: Rebirth has finally hit theaters after the excruciatingly long, three-year wait to see what happened after Jurassic World: Dominion. Dominion was beloved by critics and fans alike for its brave choice in making a dinosaur movie without dinosaurs. Rebirth bucks this trend by including dinosaurs, real and mutated alike! Get ready for the seventh iteration of people going to an island with dinosaurs for money. It's full of surprises!

This title may look like a typo, but those of you who follow Michael Caine on Twitter X know it's quite deliberate. Danny and Kevin celebrate 20 years (to the day) of Batman Begins by providing a commentary track for this beloved Christopher Nolan film. The duo discuss the impact of this picture and The Dark Knight trilogy on both the superhero genre as well as general blockbuster popcorn films while occasionally referencing how awesome the scene playing at the time of their rambling is. They also ask important questions, like is Katie Holmes really that bad of an actor? Or, what's so special about condensed milk?

Danny and Kevin accept the final (?) mission and discuss the epic (?) finale to the saga (?) of beloved character (?) Ethan Hunt and his team of devoted friends and OTs in their battle against SPs and Xenu. It's been eight films and thirty years but it has never, ever been boring or even predictable. Listen as the fellas discuss this and much else, including the possibility that Jeremy Renner is stupid and annoying #jeremyrennerofficialapp

Revenge of the Sith turns 20, forcing Danny and Kevin to conclude their out of sequence prequel trilogy recaps. This is the beloved entry in the ever polarizing prequel trilogy, but do Danny and Kevin feel the same way? Listen to your favorite podcasters as they draw lines in the sand, admit to guilty pleasures, and wax poetic yet again about John Williams.

That's right, out of respect to Tony Gilroy and Co. for sticking the landing, the subtitle of this episode discussing the finale of Andor is the main character's actual name. Was Cassian ever the most compelling character on his own show? No, not even once. But he proved a perfect AXIS around which this tale of revolution could revolve. Danny and Kevin discuss the final arc of Andor and how it adds nothing but flavor and taste to the gigantic pot of stew that is Star Wars. It is, in fact, more fun to talk about movies and shows that one enjoys and finds entertaining and engrossing. May the Force be with us until the next streaming hustle comes along to remind us to grow up.

"Look how they massacred my boy" but in a good way. Danny and Kevin discuss the latest (and greatest?) arc of the Andor show. What does fate have in store for Space Javert, Calrissian Andorian, Fascist Girlboss, Mon Mothma's Back!, Basil Oregano: Princess Leia's Non-Biological Father, and Stellan Skarsgård? Turns out that it's another round of some incredibly sturdy and entertaining storytelling from a man who has both never seen most of Star Wars and yet understands it better than most. Vive Ghorman and down with the Empire folks.

Danny and Kevin recap the next arc of Andor Season 2. They discuss the good (Varian Skye!), the bad (recasting Basil Oregano!), and the ugly (Forest Whitaker talking!) of these middle episodes while speculating what may come next. Will General Madine make his Disney+ debut? Stay tuned!

Danny and Kevin return to a galaxy far, far away to discuss the first three episodes of Andor Season 2. All our favorites are back: Cassian, Bix, Brasso, Goober, Skulltutis, Therngo, Mon Mothma, Zorpaz, Dedra, Qyburn, Luthen, Copbot, Forest Whitaker, and of course, Syril Karn. Can a Star War ever truly be for grown-ups? Who knows and, if it's entertaining, who cares? May the 4th be with you.
