Navigating the Multiverse

SPOILERS. Just a head's up, this podcast is full of them. In the film that turns Peter from a Spider-Boy and into a Spider-Man, we finally have No Way Home! We talk for nearly 2 hours on the film alone before a (thankfully much briefer) discussion on episodes 4 and 5 of Hawkeye. Join Nick and Jason for a mildly technical issue-wrought episode that you hopefully don't notice too much as they finally deep dive into the film they've been waiting for.

Is No Way Home the only movie out there right now? Is Black Widow (the movie) too little too late or has it been unfairly maligned? Is Hawkeye actually good (or at least better than Falcon and the Winter Soldier)? Nick and Jason look into those questions this week (and the short answers are no, it isn't even the only multiversal Spider-Man movie in the news, which we discuss; yes and no; yes (and very yes)). 

With the Disney+ Day announcements and the No Way Home trailer, Nick and Jason have a lot to talk about. Seriously. Trailer talk takes over the episode and doesn't finish for the first 55 minutes of the show. Then there's a brief round of Contenders, where the guys randomly choose 3 sets of Marvel character battles to see who might win (join the Rabbit Hole Podcast Facebook group to participate in voting! Participants and results from the last Contenders is also shared!). Finally, they wrap up talking about the mildly underwhelming Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Apologies for rough audio on Nick's part.

Trigger Warning: If anything about abortions triggers you, please do not listen to this episode.

Jason and Nick dive into the latest MCU experience, Eternals, and have quite a bit to say about it. The majority of this runtime is Eternals talk, and there are spoilers ahoy, so beware. There is also a brief talk on the Morbius trailer and how it, too, ties to No Way Home, much like every other bit of entertainment that has ever seemingly existed or will exist. And the show wraps after talking episodes 3 and 4 of Falcon and the Winter Soldier. 

Nick and Jason take a break from the MCU (maybe? You never know) and check out the wonderfully awful 1990 environmental act propaganda film, Captain America (which strangely has little to do with the environment) before going into the first two episodes of the Disney+ show, Falcon and the Winter Soldier. One of these things, you definitely need to see.

In this episode, Nick and Jason discuss Venom: Let There Be Carnage and the final two episodes of Marvel's What If...?. They also ask plenty of questions, like "Is everything canon now?," "Did the MCU just back itself into a corner?," "What ISN'T going to be in Spider-Man: No Way Home?," "What if... women's dresses had pockets?," and "How was that NOT Mark Wahlberg?"

We're back with our second episode where we cover the new Hawkeye trailer, introduce a new segment we call Contenders (where we pit Marvel characters against each other and talk about who would win), and discuss the latest What If episodes on Killmonger and Party Thor.

In the premiere episode of Navigating the Multiverse, Nick Jobe and Jason Soto talk introduce themselves and their Marvel knowledge. The guys then introduce the format by talking new trailers for The Eternals and Spider-Man: No Way Home, discussing Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and wrapping it up with getting into the first five episodes of the latest Disney+ series, What If...?. As will tend to be the case with each episode, spoilers abound! As this is the first episode, and we had a lot to get through, it is a bit on the longer side--future episodes will be shorter.

Warning: Sadly, this first episode was attacked by some call connection and audio quality issues on Nick's side during the recording. This will hopefully not be the case in the future.
