LOKI SERIES REVIEW

The third of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Disney+ tie-in shows is here as Tom Hiddleston returns as Loki. Yes, he died in “Avengers: Infinity War”. But if you were paying attention in “Avengers: Endgame”, that earlier version of Loki who was captured and still a big-bad right at the end of the original “Avengers” film took advantage of a situation and blipped out to parts unknown. Well, these parts are now known. Loki found himself at the mercy of a time and space controlling organization called the Time Variance Authority who capture folks who create alternate timelines by playing with time travel and usually send them off to die. But it turns out they’ve got a problem with a ‘variant’ (as they call these folks) who keeps beating them at every turn when they try to capture them and killing their agents. Owen Wilson is Agent Mobius who makes the case that maybe this Loki is exactly the right variant to catch the variant they’re looking for. What you end up with is a crazy, sci-fi, comedic, miniseries full of big surprises and laughs, and decidedly the anchor point to what’s coming in the MCU Phase 4 series of films. So to put it mildly: we loved it. Listen to Chris, Jordan, Ben, and Tessa give their praise.

Christopher Lawrence Cox (Founder, Da Boss)

Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, in 1992 Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas, where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal” turned into a full-time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this paradise you see before you.

Jordan Cobb (Screener Squad)

Born with a comic book in one hand, a camera in the other, and in front of the television as WrestleMania played out, Jordan Worth Cobb was thus birthed into this crazy world. A Digital Filmmaking major from the University of Central Arkansas, Jordan has done it all in film from directing, writing, editing, and producing in addition to skills involved in film and TV criticism, journalism, and years of podcasting experience. On any given day, her ADHD riddled brain bounces focus from film to pro wrestling to TV to superheroes to noir to video games to espionage and yes, even to sports. She played little league you know.
