The Captioned Life Show

On this episode of the Captioned Life Podcast, we sit down to review the new film, Black Window. It’s been nearly 2 years since we’ve gotten to see an MCU film in the theatres, and we were able to see this one in the IMAX. We also let junior intern Madden join us for the conversation, as we got to record in the same room for the first time.

In this episode of the Captioned Life podcast, we discuss our separate (but together) summer vacation trips to Universal Studios in Orlando, FL. Ride the movies with us as we cover our favorite and least favorite aspects of resorts, parks, rides, and more, and hear which ride other fans think needs to be replaced. If you’re a theme enthusiast or just curious as to how Universal makes use of its massive library of intellectual property, give it a listen.

In the latest episode of The Captioned Life, Sean and Kevin celebrate Fathers’ Day by discussing the worst dads in comics. After taking some suggestions from social media, they each list their bottom three dads and talk about the criteria that make each such a deadbeat. It’s a fun yet heartfelt episode that you can listen to with your own kids or dad, as long as none of you are maniacal overlords hell-bent on galactic domination. Also, we made it to the Top Comic Podcasts list! Check us out!

In this episode of the Captioned Life, we discuss our favorite comic book superhero secret hideouts and what makes them interesting and unique. We also break down how those secret hideouts are used to convey themes of isolation and loneliness in comics, and how society has come face to face with those very issues in the wake of Covid 19 restrictions during the last year. It’s a fun conversation, but also one that dives a little deeper into how we connect with our favorite characters and each other.
