Nerd Alert Girls

Hawkeye finally picks up the pace with a stronger antagonist, thrilling action sequences, and a deepening and compelling bond between Kate and Clint. Sorceress Supreme Caroline returns to co-host with Bridgette and Jenn as they discuss everything from Maya Lopez and Laura Barton’s backstories, to how Christmas functions as a backdrop for the show, to how Clint can never, ever die. Ever.

After watching the first two episodes of Hawkeye, Bridgette and Genn discuss Hailee Steinfeld’s breakout Marvel debut, how Kate and Clint’s dynamic compares to the comics, some questionable plot pacing, and the difference between good and bad small potato villains. (We need tracksuits with Tracksuit Mafia on the back ASAP. And we need the full version of Rogers: The Musical, also ASAP.) Finally, a fair warning to MCU Clint Barton stans: we are not particularly friendly to him. Listen at your own peril.

Stay for the end for a bonus segment in honor of Native American Heritage Month!

Just when you think you've had enough, Marvel drops another Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer. Listen as Bridgette and Genn cheer and cry over the possibilities, both wanted and unwanted. We don't ask for much - truly we don't! - but is it too much to ask to keep MJ alive... and see a live-action version of Miles Morales... and have Jake Johnson back as another version of Spider-Man... and for Dr. Strange to not be so reckless... and for Tobey Maguire to stop staring...? Nope, we don't ask for much at all...

Ensemble movies can be tricky to handle, and Eternals introduces a larger ensemble than both the first Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy films while also establishing new mythology in the MCU. Genn and Bridgette measure how Eternals rises to the challenge. Listen as we gush over the little things Marvel offers us, like fly-swatter villains, soft relationships, diversity and representation, and a valet named Karun. Also, there's shock and awe to be had by cameos and surprisingly bold storytelling choices.

Bridgette and Genn review a finale that unexpectedly and masterfully ties together an anthology of what-if scenarios of pivotal Marvel characters and draws the Watcher out of the shadows. From the PeggyNat ship that somehow manifested from fan art to reality, to T'Challa's unwavering compassion, to new Party Thor hilarities, to seeing even more of Doctor Strange’s soft side, we have much to discuss. We recap our favorite moments for all the characters and speculate about what is next for What If…?

Here is the first of critter_of_habit's PeggyNat fan art that Bridgette talks about: https://www.instagram.com/p/CSo-IsYhdKV/. Follow critter_of_habit immediately, folks.

You read that right. The monologuing, Disney-esque, James Spader-sounding villain can actually be taken seriously this time, and he is terrifying! Listen to Bridgette’s and Genn’s shivers even within the airwaves as they feel things and dissect what this latest episode means for not only the show, but the multiverse that Ultron managed to breach! What’s next? Who’s to say! At least Bridgette has her soapbox and Genn has Thanos getting sliced in half to sustain them.

Thor as a party boy? Loki the Frost Giant? Frigga being an actual mom? Genn and Bridgette actually shipping Thor and Jane? What is going on in the latest episode of What If?! Find out and delve in with your favorite Nerd Alert Girls as we hold our breath for some things and then release sighs of relief when Marvel doesn’t go the route we fear. We cringe at Mrs. Darcy the Duck, and we stan Captain ‘party pooper’ Marvel. Also, would you like to build a Mjolnir?

Bonus: as promised, here is the Loki & Thor Frozen AU that Bridgette mentioned: https://www.instagram.com/p/CST-Q2EKZpJ/

Another rendition of Tony Stark creating a villain! (Well, enabling one.) Erik Killmonger proves himself a master manipulator with charisma, strategy, and mechanical engineering skills that impress almost everyone in his wake - proving once again his prowess as a villain. Bridgette and Genn discuss Killmonger’s fake bromance with Tony Stark, complex racial dynamics, and proof that women like Pepper and Shuri should be listened to more often.

Genn and Bridgette take a bite out of the next What If episode and delve into every zombie trope known to pop culture. We applaud Peter’s wholesome quirkiness, the unexpected bond between him and Hope that we didn’t realize we needed, and his survival guide that showed Happy at his best. By the way, we too are not single - we are saving ourselves for Thor (or an unzombified Cap, in Bridgette’s case).
