Zach & Tavie take a trip to other realms within their larger journey through the MCU, specifically focusing on Asgard, though plenty of time is also spent on Midgard (even if it is barely ever referred to as such in the film).  That’s right, it’s time for Thor!  The film AND the character!

Also, Odin, Loki, Frigga, Sif, The Warriors Three (which is easier to remember than they’re individual names, which also only get mentioned so often), and earthly figures like Jane Foster, Dr. Erik Selvig, and the primary relief figure of Darcy.

We get fun nicknames, including one borrowed from another movie-based podcast, a Dave Foley connection (beyond Tavie, herself), an early example of daddy issues in the MCU, another female lead who gets an onscreen upgrade from her comic book counterpart, a satellite(?), Adventures In Babysitting talk, another new soon-to-be-Avenger in a small role, a potential new segment for Zach, SHIELD getting into some questionable territory and a bunch of other fun stuff in this analysis of these characters who may or may not be gods.

Plus, delve into some questions with us like “How should TV shows be handled in the future of the show?”, “What makes an acceptable fat suit?”, “How tall should one be to be considered a true Frost GIANT (or is it “Ice Gargoyle”?)?", “How does one ‘serve Maleficent’?”, “Is ‘coronated’ a word?”, “Just how old ARE Thor and Loki?”,  “How do the physics of that dirt mound work?”, “Couldn’t we ALL use a little Odinsleep every once in a while?”, and plenty of others.

All of this and SPOT THE STAN, MARVEL TRIVIA, PENNY’S CORNER and SO MUCH MORE!  So tune in and see if Zach and Tavie found this to be a worthy entry in the MCU, even despite what one might think of Chris Hemsworth’s charisma level.
