Recorded live at The Hatch in Downtown Oakland, Hard NOC Life is back! Joining Keith are Robyn from TARBIS and YOMYOMF's Dominic.

Since the show has been on hiatus, the panel takes time to remember Stan Lee and share their favorite cameos from the last two decades of comic book movies (2:30), with a brief detour into an epiphany Robyn had about Joss Whedon (6:00). They also break down the pros and cons of Marvel Studios developing a Shang-Chi movie (12:30) and reflect on the death of Marvel on Netflix (17:30). Then, NOC contributor Julie Kang joins in for a discussion about the Marvel hill they would die on (21:00) before announcing the winner to our Aquaman premiere giveaway (33:30)!

What's Nerd Poppin' this week (40:30): the latest season of Doctor Who, The Wicked & the Divine from Image, the new Earl Sweatshirt album, DC TV's "Elseworlds" crossover on The CW.
