SequelMen - The Podcast

Gotham City - A place where crime runs rampant, the mob owns the streets, and corruption lies everywhere.  Christopher Nolan brings us a grounded, dark, and gritty take of the caped crusader as he discovers himself and vows to share his fear among the villains of Gotham.  But is it truly as grounded as we remember?  Bruce Wayne by day and Batman by (k)night - Join us as we gas up and face our own fears for our look at Nolan's first film in his Dark Knight Trilogy, Batman Begins.

Alas, we've reached the end of our first "Summer of MCU" series with another Franchise Wrap-Up!  You could say this was one of the most ambitious ones we’ve done yet.  Like a well oiled and properly maintenanced SHIELD Helicarrier, Phase I of the MCU set up a universe like no other film series has before.  Every detail matters - from Iron Man through Marvel's The Avengers.  Join us as we conclude our coverage of Phase I, featuring a special tribute and an all-new "Recap Rap" with a vocal performance by talented actress and singer, Kryssy Becker!  Excelsior!

The crossover event of the decade - and of the year for us!  With this historic cinematic event, Marvel Studios has dashed any other franchise’s hopes of matching the level of success they were destined for.  Arrows fly, Hulks' smash, shields' break the laws of physics, metal suits fly, hammers spin and dangerous Russian redheads take down Earth's (or otherwise) most feared villains - Loki of Asgard!  As the first "Summer of MCU" nears the end, we open up the blue beam in the sky that swept over the world and take a look at the groundbreaking film that helped shape the next 10 years of Marvelous filmmaking -  ASSEMBLE and join us to talk all things Marvel’s The Avengers!

It's a bird!  It's a plane!  It's the Star Spangled Man with a plan, Captain America himself!  But before he became America's Nazi-fighting hero, Steve Rogers was just a kid from Brooklyn - the biggest muscle in his body being his heart.  From scrawny youth to becoming the legendary war hero against the forces of HYDRA, join us as we toast to the little guys and step up to the plate with the penultimate chapter of Phase I and our first "Summer of MCU", Captain America : The First Avenger! 

Lightning strikes as self-proclaimed gods roam the Earth in search of a relic only those who are truly worthy can possess...  Or at least one god -  and he really only roams a small town in the desert of New Mexico.  After being banished by his own father (we’ve all been there), Thor embarks on a path of sacrifice and self-determination to save the woman he loves, all while proving to everyone how worthy he is to wield a cool hammer.  Join us as we lift the legendary Mjolnir and summon the thunder of Asgard because we are talking Marvel Studio's first step into the cosmos, Thor!

Tony Stark is back and he’s living the life his father knew he could... except for the fact his personal Arc Reactor is slowly killing him.  Marvel Studios strikes silver again in this tale of a man who realizes just how short life can be as he struggles physically and mentally to make life count while he's still around.  With a script as tight and robust as this, you’re sure to get some Whiplash and become Hammered with action!  Join us as we discover true value and get into our new element with this marvelous sequel, Iron Man 2!

Podcast Smash!!  In one of our biggest episodes - considering our hulky protagonist - we explore the extreme version of multi personalities and incredible anger issues.  As Bruce Banner struggles to balance his love life with avoiding the monsters within and without, he draws the attention of a certain genius, billionaire, playboy philanthropist....  Green, mean, and pissed,  join us as we get angry (or hungry if you speak Portuguese) because we are bulking up with Marvel Studio's second outing, The Incredible Hulk!

He is Iron Man!  The film that planted the seed to a much larger universe is just the beginning of our new summer franchise series!  After a fateful encounter in the Afghan desert, genius, billionaire playboy Tony Stark forges a new purpose and discovers his inner philanthropist.  Join us as we follow his adventure through self-realization and betrayal to make our OWN Mark in the MCU - Suit up for Marvel Studios' inaugural, groundbreaking film, Iron Man!

The Revolution has come and gone.  In the struggle, we've made powerful enemies - but we’ve also found loyal friends, many of whom have been lost.  With special guest James Stephens joining us as our in-house Hunger Games expert, you won’t want to miss a single second of this franchise wrap-up!  We have everything - from thoughtful discussion on all things Panem, to a very unique and special edition of Spencer's Recap Rap (if you can call it that).  STAY TUNED immediately following the episode for our first ever post credits scene announcing the next phase of our podcast!  Join us as we say goodbye to The Girl on Fire and extinguish The Hunger Games franchise!
