Franchise Fatigue

This week we have an epic-lengthed discussion on the 3rd Captain America film.

A layered film, packed to the brim character development and themes alongside some of the best action in the MCU.

An all around fantastic chapter.

This week we are joined by our friend Byron Lafayette to discuss Peyton Reed's delightful heist comedy, Antman.

After the enormity of Age of Ultron, Antman's low stakes and breezy tone was a breath of fresh air for the MCU. Despite a very difficult production, Marvel managed to squeeze out yet another win.

This week we dive deep into Joss Whedon's ambitious and flawed magnum opus. A film that reveals new layers and depth with every rewatch despite its loudly discussed imperfections.

This week we rave about James Gunn's surprise smash-hit, Guardians of the Galaxy. Taking unknown characters and applying his unique style and charm, Gunn created one of the MCU's most popular and entertaining properties.

This week we explore the Russo Bros. homage to the classic conspiracy thrillers of the 70s with the absolutely fantastic Captain America: The Winter Soldier. This installment abandons the nostalgia of the First Avenger and gives us a tense, gritty tale that challenges everything Cap believes.

This week we take a look at the series of delightful One-Shot shorts that Marvel used to put out with every film.

We also discuss the tsunami of MCU news that came out of this year's San Diego Comic Con.

This week we dive into the much-maligned 2nd chapter in the Thor series.

This week we tackle Shane Blacks controversial entry into the MCU.

A 90s conspiracy thriller to the core, Iron Man 3 pulses with Black's fun, darkly comic energy and deep understanding of the title character.

This week we complete Phase 1 of the MCU with Joss Whedon's game-changing smash hit, The Avengers.

A perfect blockbuster that combined incredible spectacle with wonderful human characters and drama.

This week we travel back to the 1940s with our introduction to the MCU's first and greatest hero!

Joe Johnston made a fun and extremely charming film that perfectly captures the noble spirit of its title character.
