This week, Luna and Allan discuss episode 13 of Agents of SHIELD. The team is on the hunt for Ian Quinn, who has been revealed to be working for the Clairvoyent. Their search leads them to a recent purchase made by Quinn being delivered via train in the Italian countryside (gorgeous scenery btw! It must be said). Of course, what is a mission without a touch of drama? Skye is reeling about her past and where she may have come from, and the interesting but weird and problematic love triangle between Coulson, May, and Ward starts to bubble over.

This week, Luna and Allan tackle episode 12 of Agents of SHIELD. After a dangerous incident involving one of Fitz-Simmons' old projects, the team heads out to the Academy of Sciences to investigate and teach the students a valuable lesson on the dangers of potential. Meanwhile, Coulson and May seek out someone from Skye's past, and Coulson's faith in the system has fallen apart (yes, Coulson, fight the power!).

This week, Luna and Allan discuss episode 11 of Agents of SHIELD. Coulson's been kidnapped by Reyna, who wants to know how he was brought back from the dead. The team races to find Coulson before any personal information can be revealed, with the help of SHIELD. Or rather, the lack thereof.

Last week, Allan was sick so we apologize for being MIA, but this week, we're discussing epiosde 10 of Agents of SHIELD. So many things are happening. Mike Peterson returns to help the team track down Centipede. But guess who also returns: Raina, the Girl in the Flower Dress. Oh, and remember that eye technology that was controlling Agent Amador? Yup, that's back too. And oh yeah, a Hayward shows up (is it Hayward's son? Nephew? Cousin? Not sure). Everything is coming together for the overarching plot, and I think we can guess who the big bad is.

This week, Luna and Allan discuss Thor: The Dark World with the help of their guest, La Harrison aka Black Girl Marvel, who has a much more favorable opinion of the film than Luna and Allan do. Although, we have to say, we do have more appreciation for it knowing where the main characters end up...

This week, Luna and Allan discuss the latest MCU installment, Ant Man & the Wasp: Quantumania. Wow, what a mess of a film, but just entertaining enough to look past the flaws...a little bit. The wonderful Jonathan Majors returns as Kang the Conqueror (damn, those acting chops!), Kathryn Newton as Cassie Lang is entertaining, and we love Michelle Pfieffer as Janet van Dyne. Seriously, how is it this rare for Hollywood to cast older women in major roles like this? So much story, could've been better, could've been worse, definitely the better Ant Man film. Let's discuss!
