Genn is watching the series finale of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. with only the pilot episode as her context - while Bridgette cackles in the background. We’re providing realtime reactions to the finale highlights: Agent Mack is bae, FitzSimmons is true love, the villain has an awful rat mustache, and Grant Ward and Daniel Sousa may or may not be the same person. No S.H.I.E.L.D. training required to have some fun with us!

Discover what happens when a longtime fan drags a no-time fan of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. into watching the pilot episode immediately before the series finale premiers. Whether you’ve followed the show or you’ve never seen an episode in your life, you’ll have plenty of fun with us as we review S.H.I.E.L.D.’s debut episode. Bonus: Bridgette shares about that one time she met someone from the show!

We’ve seen many romantic ships sail in the MCU… but should they have all sailed? We bring in special guest Caroline to analyze what makes a superhero’s romantic relationship work from both a storytelling and realistic point of view. We look at love interest tropes, actors’ chemistry (or lack thereof), character development, and, of course, whether the two characters have enough in common for a relationship in the first place. Throw in some sarcastic commentary, and you’ve got our episode on romance in the MCU!

Listen to “deleted scenes” from our Spider-Manathon episode! Extra analysis. Extra humor. Extra derp. Highlights include but not limited to: J. Jonah Jameson, gigantic pencils, soundtracks, and branzino fish.

We’ve movie marathoned the three live-action versions of Peter Parker as Spider-Man, and now we decide: which film has it all? Best plot. Best villain. Best Ben. Best snark. Best romance. Best bromance. And more. One Spider-Man to rule them all!

I hope you're taking care of yourself and your family during this time. Also, I wanted to share this link for anyone who wants to continue their education about what's going on on the world today and how we can all be better humans: www.goodgoodgood.co/anti-racism-resources

Comb through the Marvel Cinematic Hair-niverse with us! Hair plays a big role for the Avengers - whether it be facial hair, head hair, or no hair. How do our iconic heroes change their hair over time, and why? What does their hairstyle symbolize about their personality, character growth, and questions of identity? And, of course, whose hair looks the hottest? Thirsty listeners and hair enthusiasts welcomed!

We thought it would be fun to sort the Marvel characters into their Hogwarts houses… and then we got a little wild with the headcanons. Rocket is the Animagus form of Bradley Cooper; Steve is basically Harry Potter; Groot is the spawn of the Whomping Willow; and many more magical shenanigans!

Wait, the Disney+ trailer dropped? This is what we get for never watching football. We are here to analyze Bucky’s hair, Wanda’s sitcom throwbacks, Loki’s two-second-long-but-still-glorious appearance, and what Gen lovingly calls “the classic man hand grab.”

We’re not dreaming, the Black Widow movie is really happening. Let’s talk about what we know (i.e. Chris & Scarlett have the cutest friendship ever) and what we don’t know. Who is Black Widow’s old “family” before the Avengers? Will we, at last, discover what went down in Budapest? And how will this movie stay relevant in the wake of Natasha’s death? *cries*

In the final installment of our Myers-Briggs series, we analyze the new Avengers’ personality types. Which characters overlap with each other, and which ones are their own special unicorns? We also look back on our series and how our understanding of the characters’ personality types will influence our future podcasts - and our fanfics!
