It's more Marvel TV but less weird this time around. This week we're diving into The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Marvel's new superhero series which combines buddy cop energy, big budget action, and surprisingly poignant questions about how our symbols and icons define us.

Sometimes the internet wins and we all lose about 4 hours each. We spent 12 collective hours watching Zack Snyder's Justice League and, honestly, it wasn't what we expected. Outside of an absurd runtime, the Snyder cut boasts some genuinely interesting changes and additions worth discussing. And also Jared Leto.

In these trying times, there is one tradition that we as a people can rely upon to unite us: getting mad at the Oscar nominations. Join us as we discuss the nomination snubs and surprises and predict the winners based on almost no criteria.

Marvel's first and weirdest show has reached its conclusion but what does it all mean? We discuss the final third of the show, Easter Eggs, red herrings, loose ends, and how the conclusion of Wandavision impacts the future of the Marvel Universe.

JJ Abrams? Ta-Nehisi Coats? Superman?! Are we playing entertainment news mad libs and no one told me? Join us this week as we dive deep into the newest Superman announcement but also cover Blade, Cruella, Mortal Kombat, Last of Us, and *sigh* The Snyder Cut.

It's a double feature this week with the two latest HBOMax releases: Earwig and the Witch and Judas and the Black Messiah. One tells the real life story of the FBI's war with Black Panther leader Fred Hampton and an informant who is caught in the crossfire. The other one is about an orphan with bad hair who never gets better hair. I won't say which is which.

This week we're catching up on all the noteworthy entertainment news including a Black Panther TV series, Godzilla vs Kong trailer, a Wicked movie, and much more!

This week we're taking a look at One Night in Miami, a film adaptation of a stage play based on a real life meeting of Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X, Jim Brown, and Sam Cooke. It's a compelling and thought-provoking discussion on the responsibility of black influence in America and Regina King's directorial debut.

It's the first Marvel content we've been presented in over a year and it's weird, y'all. Join us as we take a look at the first two episodes of the strange mashup of Marvel superheroes and TV Land that is WandaVision.

This week we're tackling Wonder Woman 1984. Is it good? Is it bad? Is rational discourse about its quality even possible at this point? We're going to find out! Join us as we break down the best and the worst of the first superhero blockbuster we've seen in what feels like an eternity.
