Episode 138. Kyle and Melissa are here to talk about the Marvel smash hit Deadpool & Wolverine! We discuss the surprisingly emotional farewell to the 20th Century Fox era of superhero movies, the difference between anchor beings and nexus beings, going full Boomhauer, and a possible allusion to M&Ms lore.
Episode 137. We're back in the podcast kitchen to discuss the new season of The Bear! We talk about "contemplation" being this season's watchword, the fork on the floor, the foolish wisdom of the Facs, and what it could mean if the restaurant gets two stars when it was only aiming for one.
Episode 136. Melissa and Kyle are on the case of the latest season in the True Detective anthology series. We discuss how this standalone season possibly connects to previous seasons, and if it even matters, the actual detective work, Lost imagery, themes of loneliness, and a thematic use for Kangaroo Jack.
Episode 135. We're discussing the Marvel limited series Echo, including the show's sense of community, cool action scenes, grandpa ingenuity, how Kingpin could behave in Daredevil: Born Again, and a Midwestern road trip.
Ignacio and Kyle team up to talk about the second season of Marvel's What If.... We discuss how the show references other pop culture touchstones, the naming conventions of the episodes, and Kahhori's power set.
Join us for the 8th anniversary retrospective, which we've now declared will be called a Grand Prix! Just try to stop us!! Kyle and Melissa gather for our annual pizza awards banquet for favorite Review Show topics, best performances, biggest surprises, and for the first time ever, a two-time Dream Date winner. We also debut a new structure for the Review Show and Captain's Log starting in 2024! Master of electricity Ignacio joins us for a rousing discussion on southern California theme parks, and we name our goals for the year ahead.
Episode 133. Melissa and Kyle are here to talk about The Marvels! We praise the movie for its fun and breezy pace, and discuss the MCU's attention to beloved non-superhero supporting characters, going harder on musical numbers, and that poor guy just trying to have a solo picnic.
Episode 132. We conclude our journey with Loki, discussing episodes 5 and 6 of season two. We talk about getting to know these characters better and seeing them as a unit, borrowing from the Doctor Strange playbook, and how this is a satisfying ending that also leaves the door open for a return to this world.
Episode 131. We're back to cover the next two episodes of Loki, discussing mechanical pants, tandem bicycles, only seeing slices of pie but not a whole pie, Miss Minutes reminding us of the lovesick robot from Flubber, and the horrors of small box.
Episode 130. Kyle and Melissa are here to talk about the new season of Loki, two episodes at a time! We discuss the mystery of everyone's past and alternate lives on different timelines, themes of dreams, how much we want a limited edition Sylvie's Order at McDonald's, and whether the Automat pies mean something for the plot or are just weird set dressing.
