This July, Ryan and David are diving into the premiere of Ironheart—critics gave it a 77%, audiences gave it a 47%, but what did we think?

Then we go cosmic with a deep dive into Fantastic Four: First Steps! We explore the film’s comic book roots, the all-star cast (hello Pedro Pascal, Julia Garner, and Galactus!), and how this new take sets the stage for the MCU’s future.

We also break down Kevin Feige’s flurry of interviews pre-SDCC no-show, including big shake-ups for Disney+, news on Spider-Man: Brand New Day, updates on Blade, X-Men, and Black Panther 3, and some major behind-the-scenes shifts—like Marvel stepping away from Kang before Quantumania even hit theaters.

Finally, we preview the upcoming animated series Iron Man and His Awesome Friends (yes, that theme song is by Mark Hoppus).

New shows, new teams, and maybe a little chaos—just another month in the MCU.

Puny Podians Assemble! Ryan and David are back with another star-spangled episode from our Super Secret Spoiler Show archives—this time, we're suiting up for Captain America: The First Avenger.

Before there was an Avengers Initiative, before Cap wielded Mjolnir, there was skinny Steve Rogers—a kid from Brooklyn with a big heart and bigger dreams. We’re diving into the MCU’s first true period piece, a World War II-set origin story that gave us Hydra, the Tesseract, and one heck of a heroic glow-up.

From serum science to shield-slinging action, we’re breaking down the film’s old-school charm, its pulp-inspired style, and how it set the tone for one of the MCU’s most iconic heroes.

Want more Marvel deep dives, early episodes, and spoiler-packed discussions? Subscribe to the EarzUp Patreon for the latest drops and exclusive content.

Whether you think The First Avenger is an underrated gem or just a stepping stone to bigger battles, this episode is bursting with patriotic passion and MCU insights. Press play and join the fight!
