Marvel Podcast From TV Podcast Industries

Derek and Chris return to chat about this weeks drop of VisionQuest Episodes 3 and 4 Reboot and Malware. Make sure you have seen both episodes before you listen along to our spoiler filled chat about them.

VisionQuest Episode 3 Reboot and Episode 4 Malware Synopsis

Vision Character Created by Roy Thomas and artist John Buscema

Creator and Showrunner: Terry Matalas

Episode 3 and 4 Directed by: Gandja Monteiro

Episode 3 Written by: Cindy Appel

Episode 4 Written by: Michael Taylor

Episode 3 - "Reboot"

Vision and Tommy go on the run after their escape from the Paladin's attack. The Adamantium bullets used on Vision begin to shut down his body until he uses battery acid to halt his permanent death.

Inside his neural network, the team of FRIDAY, U, DUM-E and EDITH realise they need to do a full Reboot to fully fix Vision. 

Meanwhile Ultron discovers that a serial killer called Butcherbird is leaving etched wings at the crime scene of their victims. When Paladin accidentally tracks the killer down he reveals it's an android on a murder mission. After he escapes, Paladin's client cancels their contract with him. 

While hiding out in a hotel, Vision convinces Tommy to overcome his fear of water and use his speed powers to restart Vision's broken body. But the reboot attracts the robots attention and the "Butcherbird" begins attacking VISION's mind space.

In Episode 4 - "Malware"

The Butcherbird Killer possesses Vision and threatens to harm Tommy if he interferes in her plan, but E.D.I.T.H. manages to expel the invading programme from his mainframe. 

Vision, Tommy, and the AIs investigate the killer and discover that her victims were all board members of Markridge Biotech, whose founders developed the first stable synthetic consciousness, the precursor to their Artificial Intelligence. The Butcherbird Killer has collected biomarkers from her victims including blood, fingerprints and an eyeball. The only surviving founder of the company is Katerina Wells. 

With Lisa's help, Vision and Tommy infiltrate a gala hosted by Katerina Wells, where Vision tells Tommy about the ancient prototype J.I.M., an unstable synthetic man whose emotions caused him to combust. 

Tommy realises Vision has kept Ultron's existence secret and storms away from the party. The Butcherbird Killer attacks the gala and reveals herself as Jocasta, a synthezoid based on Markridge co-founder Dr. Josephine "Jo" Carrington.

Unable to defeat her, Vision allows Ultron to take control. But Ultron manipulates Jocasta into killing Katerina Wells, preventing the synthezoid from obtaining the final biomarker. Ultron then betrays Vision and locks him and the other AIs out of their systems, and leaves the gala with Tommy in tow.

VisionQuest Episode 1 No Strings and Episode 2 Theseus Synopsis

Vision Character Created by Roy Thomas and artist John Buscema

Creator and Showrunner: Terry Matalas

Episode 1 and 2 Written by: Terry Matalas

Episode 1 and 2 Directed by: Christopher J. Byrne

Episode 1 - No Strings

Years after the events in Westview, the original but rebooted Vision has returned to Edinburgh in Scotland.

He works in a local pub, attempting to learn how to interact with humans the way his former self did. In his down time, he lives in a virtual space where he is aided by a new family, all of Stark Industries former A.I. helpers, JARVIS, FRIDAY, U, DUM-E and EDITH. But in the attic of their virtual home he keeps his megalomaniacal father Ultron.

Ultron learns that someone has put a hit on Vision and, bored with his mediocre existence, Ultron leaks the location to the bounty hunter Paladin. 

But, unable to kill Vision on his first attempt, Paladin and his handler access the SWORD files relating to the Westview incident. They learn about a boy called Thomas Sheppard who claims to be the son of Wanda Maximoff and Vision.

Paladin kidnaps the impossible boy and threatens to kill him if Vision doesn't turn himself in.

In episode 2 - Theseus

A year ago, Thomas Sheppard was arrested after an incident to police in London. He has memories that can't exist of a time when he was the son of a witch and a robot. But, unable or unwilling to help him they send him to a St. Mabyn's Sanatorium.

On the transfer bus to the heavily guarded facility, Tommy meets kleptomaniac Lisa, The two quickly hit it off and, working together, they escape the bus and their fate.

In the present day, Paladin lays a trap for Vision by placing the kidnapped Tommy in the same prison hospital and inviting him to save his son.

Spurred on by Ultron and over confidence in his vibranium body, Vision walks into the trap taking out Paladin's mercenaries and saving Tommy.

Despite Paladin being prepared with Adamantium bullets, Vision just about escapes with his life. But the damage caused by the bullets almost leads to his death until JARVIS offers up his life to save the other A.I.s. 

With questions still needing to be answered, Tommy returns with a car to escape with Vision and his passenger Ultron.

Two billion dollars in the bank already and Spider-Man Brand New Day is already one of the biggest hits of 2026 and rightly so. Our full team are finally back to discuss all of this best moments from this years Marvel and Sony collaboration. Make sure you've watched the movie before you jump into our fully spoiler filled chat.

Synopsis for our Spider-Man Brand New Day Movie Review

Directed by Destin Daniel Cretin.

Written by: Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers.

Based on characters by - Steve Ditko and Stan Lee

Four years after Dr. Strange erased Peter Parker from everyone’s memory, Peter has completely committed himself to being Spider-Man. He visits Aunt May’s grave, secretly checks in on Ned Leeds and MJ at MIT, and spends every other waking hour fighting crime across New York. When a tank goes on a rampage, Spider-Man first has to stop vigilante Frank Castle before stopping the tank. Inside, Peter finds a confused woman and something much stranger: an unseen entity that jumps from body to body inside the Department of Damage Control, eventually freeing Mac Gargan, aka The Scorpion. Yelena Bolova tells Peter this isn’t ordinary mind control. It's small potatoes but the attacks are connected to something called “V-Max.”

Stranger things get even more complicated when Ned returns to New York. Peter secretly follows him to a house-warming party, where he also sees MJ — now with another boyfriend. The sight of her sends Peter spiralling, and soon his own spider DNA begins to mutate. With help from Dr. Bruce Banner, Peter manages to create a device to suppress the changes. But when Spider-Man finally tracks the entity to The Scorpion, it possesses MJ and threatens to kill her. Peter discovers the truth: the entity is actually the mutant Jean Grey, who is searching Damage Control for V-Max. Jean takes control of the Hulk, leading to a massive fight with Spider-Man and Frank Castle. They eventually separate Jean from Hulk, but something goes horribly wrong — No Banner, No girl, only Hulk!

Peter manages to calm Hulk and capture Jean, but she mentions the name "Sarah" before passing out. With help from MJ and Yelena, Peter discovers that Sarah is Jean’s missing sister, who was experimented on by Damage Control and Director Metzger. And the mysterious V-Max? It was nothing more than words written on an air-conditioning unit in the room where Sarah died. When Jean learns the truth, her grief explodes into rage, and she takes control of a kilometre of New York and its citizens. Peter fights his way through mind-controlled Hand ninjas to reach her, then allows Jean inside his mind. There, through memories of Aunt May, Peter convinces Jean that she is loved and promises to help her.

But before he can save her, Frank Castle takes a sniper shot at Jean. Peter uses his new abilities to get Jean out of the way — and takes the bullet himself. Jean keeps him alive long enough for the doctors at Metro-General Hospital to save him. When Peter wakes up, Frank helps him escape as New York celebrates Spider-Man as a hero. Peter returns to his anonymous life, until he runs into Ned at a local bodega. This time, Peter introduces himself. He uses their old handshake, and Ned immediately knows how to complete it. For just a moment, it seems like his oldest friend might remember him after all.

Episode Synopsis:

After learning that Ben Reilly has an antidote for the superpowers, Cat Hardy arranges a meeting with his secretary Janet. 

Cat asks Janet to get the antidote to her so she can cure Flint Marko and Dirk Leyden. But they were watching and they follow Janet to Robbie Robertson's place and they capture the recovering Ben Reilly

Silvermane forces Ben to contact the Spider, with Robbie posing as him, and orders the antidote brought to the Alcove bar. 

After Dirk Leyden recognizes Ben from the war, Silvermane realizes Ben is the Spider and threatens Cat to make him confess. 

To protect Ben, Cat reveals she is the one who betrayed Silvermane. Before Silvermane can kill her, Robbie arrives dressed as the Spider. 

Thinking he's The Spider, Megawatt injects Robbie with the cure and electrocutes him, then tries to persuade Flint Marko to help overthrow Silvermane. 

Ben regains use of his webbing and fights the two powerful fighters, while Cat tracks down and kills Silvermane. 

Sandman turns on Leyden after he attacks Cat. The Spider gets the better of Megawatt and kills him by throwing him into an incoming train. 

Ben gives the last antidote dose to Flint Marko, sacrificing his only chance to become human again so Cat and Flint can be together.

In an early house in the city Ben drowns his sorrows over Cat's betrayal and beats up a group of dock workers who criticised the aging Spider. 

After some encouragement from Robbie to help the other meta humans, Ben prepares doses of the antidote to cure all of them and plans to use it on himself afterwards. 

As the Spider struggles against Lincoln and the corrupt police officers due to previously overusing his webbing at the bar fight, Robbie manages to inject the cure in Lincoln through his eye and the two help him evade the police officers. 

While Ben recovers from the fight, Lincoln thanks the two for helping him, encourages Robbie to find another way to report outside of the Daily Bugle, and leaves the city with his mother. 

Both Silvermane and Morris find out that Tombstone has been cured. They each give orders to bring Ben to them so they can contact The Spider.

After discovering German experiments on POWs he was liberating, he was bitten by a mutated half-spider prisoner. From that day on Ben had arachnid DNA.

Armed with an unmissable exclusive story about The Spider’s battle with the electric powered Dirk Leyden, Robbie Robertson reclaims his job at the Daily Bugle. 

He and Janet discover every metahuman had been treated by the same physician Dr. Alethea Faber before developing powers. 

While Robbie interrogates Dr. Faber and her secretary Ogden, The Spider steals medical files proving Faber tried to cure the metahumans but instead aggravated their conditions, and now they will all die if they keep using their powers. 

Meanwhile Flint Marko, now Silvermane's right-hand man, recruits Lonnie Lincoln and together they free Dirk Leyden from prison to join them. 

Now armed with his super powered muscle men, Silvermane warns Ben to keep the Spider out of his conflict with Mayor Morris. 

Worried for their lives, Ben asks Cat to leave the city with him and she agrees, but her former partner Flint Marko confronts her over hiring the fire powered Addison to kill Silvermane without telling him.
