• The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Complete Series Review

  'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier' has concluded so we've compiled all of our previous reviews of every episode from the series. On the March 22nd pod, we kicked things off by recapping the series premiere, 'New World Order', which catches us up with Sam Wilson after he forfeits the mantle of Captain America given to him by Steve Rogers (2:14). In 'The Star-Spangled Man', we're properly introduced to John Walker as the new Captain America, and learn about Isaiah Bradley, a veteran super soldier who fought the Winter Soldier in the Korean War (44:51). Then, we discuss the return of characters like Baron Zemo and Sharon Carter as the team travels to the criminal sanctuary city, Madripoor, in 'Power Broker' (1:25:24). 'The Whole World Is Watching' puts Sam, Bucky, and others on a dangerous collision course with the Flash Smashers and members of Wakanda's Dora Milaje, causing us to analyze every character's personal motivation (1:52:10). The penultimate episode, 'Truth', unpacks Isaiah Bradley's dark history as a super soldier, leading us to a discussion about the treatment and erasure of Black soldiers in America, and Sam's journey toward taking up the mantle (2:37:02). After the events of episode 5, we break down the chaotic finale, 'One World, One People', and the momentous moment of Sam Wilson officially becoming Captain America (3:38:00). Finally, we look back and share our thoughts on the series as a whole, and what the future may hold for its characters (4:26:10).

• Loki Episode 4 | Episode 55

  "The Nexus Event" is the title for episode 4 of Loki and the energy of the episode definitely matches the title. The TVA, B-15, and Mobius are still searching for Loki and Sylvie and tension is getting high. There's a ton to unpack and so much to discuss this episode. It's getting weird and we love it.

• Loki Episode 3 | Episode 53

  Unfortunately we were unable to have a regular episode this week, but we're back again with another discussion of the latest episode of Marvel's 'Loki'. This weeks episode is titled "Lamentis". "Loki finds out The Variant's plan, but he has his own that will forever alter both their destinies." We get a ton of dialogue between Loki and the Variant in this change of scenery as well as some decent action sequences. Tune in to figure out what we thought about the episode.

• Loki Episode 2 | Episode 52

  We're back and we're here to review episode 2 of Loki. The episode is titled "The Variant" and it begins to pick up some steam from where we left off the in the first episode. "Mobius puts Loki to work investigating the Variant, but not everyone at the TVA is thrilled to be working alongside the God of Mischief." A lot of easter eggs and a lot of deeper themes in this episode to discuss. Check it out.
