This week, we're discussing critical race theory and the way our education system fails to teach Black history. Juneteenth is a way to bring attention to that history, but is it enough, or will it just become another corporatized holiday? Then, we review 'In The Heights,' our history with musicals, and talk more about being able to return to theaters. Thank you for listening!

We're back! After a month off, we come back to talk about the finale of 'Mare of Easttown' and the incredible mercy extended to all of its characters throughout the story. Truly one of the best shows of the year. Then, we discuss the things we liked and disliked about 'Friends: The Reunion.'

The 'Invincible' finale blew our minds and we're finally ready to talk about it. Is it one of the greatest seasons of superhero world-building ever? There's is so much more yet to come and the show has already been renewed by seasons 2 + 3.

Then, we discuss Marvel's phase 4 announcements which included new titles for the next Black Panther and Captain Marvel movies, among other coming movies, plus a whole slew of release dates.

In this episode, we discuss HBO's newest prestige crime drama 'Mare of Easttown' and how, in just its first 2 episodes, it is succeeding where others have failed. Incredible attention to place and character detail make this show much more than just its core whodunit. Then, with 7 episodes down and only 1 more to go,  we talk over what's to come in the 'Invincible' season finale. If it's anything like the comic source material, this could be an iconic entry into the superhero canon - the hype is real.

This week on Post-Weird, we talk through the heavy-handed end to 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,' and how good emotional beats can't save a messy plot. Plus, the announcement that 'Captain America 4' is forthcoming has us asking what comes next for the new Captain America and how, or if, the movie will build off the themes of the show.

Disney surprised us in episode five of 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier' by directly addressing the politics of a Black Captain America and the heavy burden of representing a country that doesn't represent you. This week, we discuss the context of this comic book reckoning as it applies to the culture at large, and the continued battle for social justice and fundamental changes to policing in this country.
