On this podcast episode we're going over the first episode of Marvel's ' Luke Cage' TV show that originally aired on Netflix back in September 2016 (but now on Disney+). This a series of me reviewing the first episodes of the previously Netflix Marvel TV shows and seeing if the episodes hook me into the respective show or not. This is all in preparation for watching Marvel's 'Moon Knight' which premieres on Wednesday, March 30th on the Disney+ streaming network.

Marvel's Luke Cage

This gritty, action-packed drama follows the evolution of Luke Cage (Mike Colter), a man with super strength and unbreakable skin caused by a sabotaged experiment. After a failed relationship with fellow superhero Jessica Jones, Cage tries to rebuild a quiet life in Harlem, New York --until he is pulled out of the shadows and forced into a battle for his city. Along the way, Cage cannot avoid confronting his past, which he has worked hard to bury. "Marvel's Luke Cage" is the third show in the Netflix-original Defenders series.

On this podcast episode we're going over Marvel's ' Jessica Jones' TV show that originally aired on Netflix back in November 2015. If you're like me then I had no prior knowledge of the 'Jessica Jones' character before watching this series. I honestly thought this was not going to be a superhero show in the beginning but thankfully I was proven wrong! Then after listening to this podcast episode let me know - is it "big jumping" or "guided falling" for 'Jessica Jones.'

Marvel's Jessica Jones

A chronicle of the life of one of the darker Marvel characters, the mysterious Jessica Jones. When a tragedy puts an end to her short-lived career as a superhero, Jessica settles in New York City and opens her own detective agency, called Alias Investigations, which seems to be called into cases involving people who have special abilities. Suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome, Jessica wants to do good, but her primary interest isn't in saving the world, it's saving her apartment and getting through each day. Based on a graphic novel intended for adults, this is not a superhero story for the kids.

On this podcast episode we're going over Marvel's 'Daredevil' TV show that originally aired on Netflix back in April 2015. Even after all this time Daredevil holds up strong to even today's MCU shows and dare I say even outshines some current MCU shows... Don't worry if you haven't seen or even heard of the 'Daredevil' series as I just literally go over the first few minutes of the first episode of the show! That's all it took me to get hooked and watch this series throughout back then and again now. I hope you feel the passion I try to convey in this podcast episode and feel inclined to watch the series yourself!

Marvel's Daredevil

The first in a planned series of shows detailing the Marvel universe, "Daredevil" follows Matt Murdock, attorney by day and vigilante by night. Blinded in an accident as a child, Murdock uses his heightened senses as Daredevil to fight crime on the streets of New York after the sun goes down. While Murdock's day job requires him to believe in the criminal justice system, his alter ego does not follow suit, leading him to take the law into his own hands to protect his Hell's Kitchen neighborhood and the surrounding communities.

On this episode we're going over the Amazon Prime Video show 'The Boys' and why you should watch it - watch it NOW - if you haven't already. Season 3 of 'The Boys' airs on June 3rd so be sure to catch up before then! While we wait for the new season to start we have the animated series of 'The Boys Presents: Diabolical' which contains 8 short stories all within 'The Boys' universe.

The Boys

Superheroes are often as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and sometimes even as revered as gods. But that's when they're using their powers for good. What happens when the heroes go rogue and start abusing their powers? When it's the powerless against the super powerful, the Boys head out on a heroic quest to expose the truth about the Seven and Vought, the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages the superheroes and covers up their dirty secrets. Based on the comic book series of the same name.

Welcome to the Work Time Fun Podcast!

I'm your co-worker, EL, nice to meet you!

This is water cooler talk going over tv and movie reviews mostly in the superhero genre (but not only).

We'll go on the tangent and talk about things that you would expect out of any co-worker but nothing toxic of course.

This podcast is meant for an adult audience but I don't intend to be explicit, on the contrary, I feel like I go over things pretty smoothly and I hope you feel like it too!

On this episode we're going over upcoming Marvel shows on Disney Plus. As you may have noticed I started this episode differently by including the audio from the newly released trailer for the Ms. Marvel series. I further connect the Marvel Netflix shows that are transitioning over to Disney Plus (starting March 16th at 12:01am PT) which includes Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, the Defenders and not really mentioned but probably will include Iron Fist and Punisher as well. And as always I add my own opinions to all these shows and the Marvel Cinematic Universe in general.

On this episode we're going over some DC shows on HBO Max that I think you may enjoy. For the most part this won't spoil the whole story of the shows but just a glimpse into each one if you haven't seen them already (or haven't committed to watching yet).

On this episode we're going over three of the most recent movies I've watched: The Batman, Turning Red and The Adam Project.

The Batman (PG-13)

Batman ventures into Gotham City's underworld when a sadistic killer leaves behind a trail of cryptic clues. As the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator's plans become clear, he must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued the metropolis.

Release date: March 4, 2022 (USA)

Director: Matt Reeves

Starring: Robert Pattinson; Zoë Kravitz; Paul Dano; Jeffrey Wright; John Turturro; Peter Sarsgaard; Andy Serkis; Colin Farrell

Music by: Michael Giacchino

Turning Red (PG)

Young actress Rosalie Chiang lends her voice to Mei Lee, a 13-year-old who suddenly “poofs” into a giant red panda when she gets too excited (which is practically ALWAYS). Sandra Oh voices Mei Lee’s protective, if not slightly overbearing mother, Ming, who is never far from her daughter—an unfortunate reality for the teenager. Directed by Shi and produced by Lindsey Collins, Disney and Pixar’s “Turning Red” is now streaming exclusively on Disney+.

Directed By: Domee Shi

Produced By: Lindsey Collins

Cast: Rosalie Chiang, Sandra Oh

The Adam Project (PG-13)

After accidentally crash-landing in 2022, time-traveling fighter pilot Adam Reed teams up with his 12-year-old self for a mission to save the future.

Release date: March 9, 2022 (USA)

Director: Shawn Levy

Starring: Ryan Reynolds; Mark Ruffalo; Jennifer Garner; Walker Scobell; Catherine Keener; Zoe Saldaña

Note: I mistakenly stated John Turturro was in the movie ‘Men In Black’ but what I was actually thinking of was one of the ‘Transformers’ movies.
