Just in time for Eternals to come out and with Hawkeye just around the corner, we decided now was the perfect time to talk about the MCU stuff that came out this year that everyone has already watched, talked about, and moved on from. Or have they? I don’t know what’s happening outside my flat anymore.

This bonus swing-tangent is all about Shang-Chi: The Legend of the Ten Rings, the long-awaited Black Widow movie and touch on our general feelings on the MCU at the moment. As for the rest of 2021’s offerings… stay tuned.

You won’t LAST FIVE SECONDS watching this movie

We’re releasing this from behind the veil of our Patreon feed to let y’all regular feed listeners in on one of our X-Men movie retrospectives!

X-Men: The Last Stand is a bad movie, but what’s Dawn French up to these days? Handchimes are cool instruments, right? Please don’t make us talk about X-Men: The Last Stand…

Listen in as Henry and Jack do everything in their power to not talk about X3, and – in solidarity with this garbage movie – fail miserably.

Season 3 Episode 14 and the final episode of this season of Spider-Man: The Animated Series – Turning Point!

Madame Web is back with more unnecessarily vague riddles, Harry is making that face, the Green Goblin is a clumsy drug metaphor and Pete is starting fires out of social anxiety. So just a regular dinner party in New York…

That’s right, tis the end of the season!

It’s all coming to a head in this episode as we find out who The Hobgoblin is!

We also talk pawnshop animatronics, MJ’s egg-based brain damage, secret doors, Felicia’s bad dating track record, and reverse amnesia, before finishing off with some hot sweaty goblin-on-goblin action.

What if a man could portal anywhere? And what if he wore those portals all over his body like some sort of dalmation man?

We mark this landmark occasion with a character that starts weird and gets weirder. Jonathan Ohnn aka The Spot brushes up against all corners of the weird lore… uh… corner, and of course includes our favourite Weird Lore feature: multiple deaths that didn’t take!

Desk throw time! D-D-D-DESK THROWWW. Also the Spot is here!

Not that anyone was clamouring for him, but he’s here and sportin inter-dalmatianal travel. Unfortunately for The Spot, Willie the Pinh has a honeypot and a 2% fat bear hug waiting for anyone who comes close.

So what’s Carnage’s deal?

Normally, we cover comic book origins in our regular episodes – but there was so much insane lore to go through with Cletus Kasady we decided to go ahead and do a whole episode on it. Strap in folks, you’re in for a wild ride from serial killer origins to godhood, with a handful of resurrections along the way.

Check out our blog for the full rundown – with corrections made for all the times Jack’s brain breaks and he lets something slip. Be kind, nerds! Whenever you notice something like that, a wizard did it!

Season 3 Episode 11: Carnage

Recap – 10:00 Review – 46:30 Venom: Let There Be Carnage trailer talk – 52:46

This episode is a non-stop train to crazytown, so after a quick foray into a gameshow of Jack’s invention, we’re talking hipster demon lairs, cosmic sibling rivalries, symbiote peer pressure and psychic exposition.

This episode closes off the Carnage two-parter as Cletus racks up 6 stars in GTA, while Jack make up for their own confusion with plenty of references to The Simpsons, Book of Henry, Zardoz and Wishmaster. Just to make it even. Then we have a quick chat about that new trailer for Venom: Let There Be Carnage… and a moment of silence for Woody Harrelson’s wig.
