This week, both the MCU and the podcast welcome at least one surprise member, for Captain America: Civil War! Mum's first son (but importantly, the second son on the podcast), joins us to talk about arguably the best film in the MCU so far, but will Mum feel the same way? We talk character motivations and development, while also getting further into the ongoing discussion about action and its place as a storytelling device. Joe also shows more of his geeky side than ever before, and may even attempt to begin a chant at one point...

Hooka-chaka, hooka-hooka-hooka- chaka, hooka-hooka- I cant stop this podcaaast! This week we watch the fantastic 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and get a little bit carried away talking about a film we both so thoroughly enjoy. Like the film itself, we focus largely on the characters and what is so interesting about them, while also gushing about how the music, colour and comedy all work together so brilliantly. Mum gets some much-needed exposition about what's actually going on in the MCU, and the eternal struggle over the ending catchphrase continues...

Hope you're ready for more Iron Man, because this sure is another Iron Man film. Iron Man 3 is the third Iron Man film, sequel to the first two Iron Man films - Iron Man and Iron Man 2, respectively. Iron Man. In this episode you can hear both hosts struggle to remember what happened at various points in the film, and we talk about the very controversial villains in this installment. We also completely forget to continue the much beloved "best lines" segment that we introduced last episode. This is podcasting at its finest.

Bwaaah! Duh duh di duuuuuh! Duuuh duuhh duuh! Defying all expectations, we've finished watching phase 1 of the MCU. In this climactic episode, we talk about the different Avengers and how great it is seeing them interact with each other, as well as give some extra time to the new kids on the block - Hulk and, to a lesser extent, Hawkeye. Mum introduces what will surely become a staple segment - Best Lines - and we take a fond look back on Phase 1, as well as the experience of recording the podcast on the whole so far. Geeky twenty-somethings and their mums - assemble!

It's finally time. The man with the iron will and steadfast moral compass, he who is stronger, faster and more virtuous than any who have come before or since, is once again joined by his mum to watch a superhero film about some guy. In this episode, Joe further solidifies his street cred by talking about Lord of the Rings a bit and Mum claims the title of 'Most Prepared Podcast Host' for her own. We also talk about the slow but noticeable progress Marvel is making in their portrayal of female characters and excitedly look forward to the culmination of Phase 1 next week.
