It's time for the thrilling conclusion of Officially Medial's MCU Month! And we're going out in style with the first movie that brought all of these characters together, The Avengers.

Welcome to April, friends! Avengers: Endgame will quickly be upon us so Ben and Erik decided to spend this month looking back at a couple of movies that were very formative to what the MCU would ultimately become. They kick it off with Iron Man! Listen to see if it still holds up in the eyes of our hosts! Then they spend some time talking about love songs and pop jams before finishing up recommending a deep diving podcast and a hilarious tv show. Get into it!

Jordan Peele just released a new horror movie called Us so you know that Ben and Erik were going to go check it out. Is it good?

Afterwards, Erik shares a new song from his favorite folk duo and Ben recommends something a little punky for Music Time. Then they talk about a returning tv show and an author to close out the show. You don't want to miss it!

Ben and Erik have been wanting to do a question and answer episode of their podcast for ages so they're finally just going to do it, okay? Listen to them talk about childhood tv crushes, how they met, what they think about streaming platforms, and many many other things - arguably too many things actually. Like this is a much longer episode than normal because they answered so many. This may have been a mistake. Oh well!

The Academy Awards are in ten days and the boys are getting a liiiiittle nervous about who the Academy might be giving Oscars to. Tune in to hear them break down the "big" categories and talk about who is likely to win versus who they want to win. Then, after talking about some new music for Music Time, hear Ben talk about a show he's been catching up on before Erik recommends a sequel of sorts to a previous recommendation. This episode really has it all, huh?

Did you know that HBO is about to release a show based loosely on Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' seminal work, Watchmen? Did you also know that there was already an adaptation made by Zack Snyder back in 2009? You did? Wow, maybe *you* should be hosting this podcast! Well, Ben and Erik decided to revisit the latter in anticipation of the former and, boy, is it...something. Tune in to find out just how much something it was.

Then they talk about scores they've been enjoying for Music Time and finish up by recommending an epic cartoon and a docuseries about funny people.

Oh and there's a very special announcement at the end of the episode so please stick around for that!

Then they talk about subversive pop songs and cozy winter favorites for Music Time before finishing strong with another movie that Erik loved and a video game that is taking Ben back to his roots. Go listen!

Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! This week we have a very special almost-entirely-Christmas themed episode! We talk about our favorite holiday songs and our favorite holiday media. But before that, we dive deep into the amazing documentary, Mind the Gap. Nothing goes together better than evergreen trees, snow, presents, Santa Claus, and SKATEBOARDING.
