The MCU finally gets its first "real action movie" (according to Doug) with "Captain America: The Winter Soldier". This movie's got everything: Algerian terrorists, fake deaths, vending machine mischief, and a disgusted Robert Redford. But most importantly: S.H.I.E.L.D. gets what's coming to it!! Charlie can only hope this is the end for that clandestine organization, but that still begs the question: who

is this Bucky Barnes fellow?

It's folly to believe that any event like Shenaniganza could be contained wholly in one episode. That's why we're back with a bit-heavy sequel for your listening enjoyment! Restaurant policies are discussed, as well as unique ways to utilize our national parks (it's public, why can't it also be a toilet?). Adam, Tony and Paul scare a realtor, probably. Plus, the inauguration of Shenanifailedza.

Installment 42 of our Merry Marvel Movie March has us reviewing the shoulder shrug of a movie "Thor: The Dark World". But is it REALLY that bad, or does it just pale in comparison to other MCU movies? In any case, we all agree that Kat Dennings has the standout performance and that Christopher Eccleston was right to bemoan his experience in the makeup chair. Be warned: we visit AZNudes at least once during this episode!

Charlie's plans get canceled, but that doesn't mean we all can't recount past events, specifically this year's version of Shenaniganza. Many bits were born, but many died as well! And a trip to the Grand Canyon proves to be almost as impressive as the IMAX.

We close out Merry Marvel Movie March Madness with "The Little Sequel that Couldn't", "Kick-Ass 2"! All your favorite characters are back, except for your ACTUAL favorite character played by Nic Cage. It's like the original, except with even more cringey violence (unless you ask Doug who didn't even seem to notice). Is the director and Edgelord or an SJW? Or could he be both? It's a question we never thought we'd have to ask!

Merry Marvel Movie March Madness keeps rolling along with 2013's "The Wolverine". Hugh Jackman is really Hugh Jackedman this time, and he may or may not understand Japanese. Paul lets us know all the landmarks he spots, and Charlie forgets he's a physicist for a couple hours. Can this film knock XMOW of it's pedestal as our favorite solo Wolverine movie so far? Listen, and find out that the answer is definitely "Yes".

We kick off Merry Marvel Movie March Madness with installment 40: 2013's "Iron Man 3"! Tony Stark has got some serious PTSD baggage in this one, but does that feel like a plot device? And is there too much "buddy cop" vibe, or not enough? What does the city of Chatanooga feel about this film? AND SIR BEN KINGSLEY, AMIRITE?

How did we get this far into the year without discussing Christmas presents?? Well, at least this gave us the opportunity to review Doug's birthday as well. Meanwhile, he eats cake and ice cream ALL BY HIMSELF. Also: is Mountain Dew Zero everything it's cracked up to be? Tony, Paul and Doug put it to the test!

Installment 38 of our Merry Marvel Movie March brings us an all too familiar story with 2012's "The Amazing Spider-Man". Somehow Tony has never seen another Spider-Man film. Paul spoils something that he thought was unspoilable. Does the effort expended by the new cast make up for the story retread? And how much overtime ARE those crane operators getting?

The boys have all finally watched "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" and don't necessarily feel better for it. In this spoiler-filled episode, we talk about all the deaths, undeaths, character "arcs", and how muddled everything is because J.J tries to undo the last film. Did I mention we didn't like this very much? Especially Alex, who suggests there's only ONE story that would have made this movie palatable.
