The Blerd Wire

Today, I brought two very special guests from MCU's Bleeding Edge to review and discuss the entire series. The series continues the popular Daredevil series from Netflix and returns several characters from that series, including Wilson Bethel's Benjamin Poindexter aka Bullseye, Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle aka Punisher, Vincent D'Onfrio's Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin and of course, Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock aka Daredevil. What did you think of the series? Are you excited for Season 2?

Today we're reviewing the finale Daredevil: Born Again! Lemme know what you think about it, I thought it was done really well and definitely seems like it's setting up another storyline. But beware, there are definite spoilers throughout this episode!

Today I'm reviewing The Electric State, the Netflix film starring Chris Pratt, Millie Bobby Brown, Stanley Tucchi, Giancarlo Esposito, Woody Harrelson, Ke Huay Quan, Anthony Mackie and directed by Anthony and Joe Russo. The film has garnered mixed to negative reviews so far and it has some worried if the Russos have their touch while their massive MCU blockbusters Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars are just around the corner. What do you think? Did you like this movie? Or do you think the Russos are running out of steam?

So today we're reacting to the first four episodes of the new Disney+ show, Daredevil: Born Again, featuring Charlie Cox reprising his role as Matt Murdock and Vincent D'Onfrio reprising his role as Wilson Fisk. Daredevil: Born Again, of course, follows up the storyline from Netflix's hugely successful Daredevil series. Lemme you thoughts down below, what do you think of the series so far?

This is my official reaction and review to Captain America: Brave New World. The film is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe of course and features Anthony Mackie reprising his role as Sam Wilson and Harrison Ford taking over at Thunderbolt Ross. Let me know your about the film and beware, there are detailed spoilers throughout this video!
