Gearing up for Avengers: Infinity War we return to the MCU to breakdown reviews and Tomato Meter scores for Phase Two. From another Iron Man outing to the far reaches of space, Phase two got a little experimental with varying success. 

Which movies from Phase Two will stand the test of time? Would reviewers think differently on these movies now? How does it compare to Phase One? Tune in and find out! 

Jenna and Chris are here to breakdown the new Solo: A Star Wars Story trailer that dropped earlier tonight. 

What can we piece together from the new footage? What do we think of the tone set by the trailer? And more importantly, do we have a good feeling about this?

A lot of movie news has come about in recent days, and Jenna and Chris are here to talk about it all.

Is the diversity at this year’s box office (so far) an anomaly, and how could it effect the summer box office? What’s up with Fox rescheduling their X-Men movies /again/? And why does Chris really not like Wes Anderson? Listen to find out.

With Avengers: Infinity War around the corner, Jenna and Chris dive into the first phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Follow along as we run down the Tomato Meter for the foundation of the MCU starting  with 2008's Iron Man. Which movies were a misstep? What lessons has the MCU learned since its early days? What was general audience reception to this crop of new superheroes? Assemble and find out!

We're late to the party but we finally saw "Get Out"! Spoilers: we love it, though a few critics say otherwise. Listen as we examine those reviews who had some less than pleasant things to say about Jordan Peele's debut film. Don't forget to leave a review on iTunes and maybe Chris will rap your review on the podcast! Or at the very least have nice to to say about you. 

Reviews: 

The Oscars happened a few days ago, and Jenna and Chris are ready to break it all down.

Which wins surprised us the most, and which were fairly expected? How can the Academy's push for equality move forward from here? And how did we feel about that massive "let's crash a movie theater" bit? Listen to find out.

The Oscars are upon us! Chris and Jenna have a lot of thoughts on the nine films nominated for the coveted Best Picture award. Nominees this year range from unexpected genre fare to the standard period piece. There is a lot of ground to cover. 

Join us as we predict who will win. Who doesn't have a chance? Is the Academy still "so white"? And which returning critic do we have a bone to pick with? Listen to find out!

Jenna and Chris are back, and they're ready to talk about 'Black Panther', the latest MCU movie, and arguably the most significant one yet. In the process, we uncover a major flaw about Rotten Tomatoes' lack of diversity, dissect a lot of white lady nonsense, and unintentionally predict Joss Whedon getting fired from 'Batgirl'. (No, seriously, we finished recording about ten minutes before the news broke.)

In what ways does this movie set a new gold standard for the superhero movies of the future? Is Killmonger really the most interesting MCU antagonist yet? And have some of these negative reviewers even /looked/ at a comic book before? Listen to find out.

In preparation for this week's release of Marvel's Black Panther we take a look at Ryan Coogler's Creed, a sports movie that made both of us uber nerds feel a lot of things.

What do the negative reviews for this film represent? Why does this film remind us so much of the current Star Wars trilogy? And how did we go this whole description without one boxing pun? Listen to find out.
