EP 117 - *The New Boulders (ft. @gwenstacying & @HeyGuysItSpidey)
"WE OWN YOU NOW." Back in 2022, it was announced that Phase 5 of the MCU would wrap up with an adaptation of Thunderbolts, seeming to be Marvel's answer to Suicide Squad. Very quickly, the team lineup left a lot to be desired, and as production kicked off, not many had faith in it reigniting the MCU. Several months of trailers and an entire movie later, it's safe to say a lot of us ate our words. The most unlikely group of anti-heroes have assembled to pull Marvel from the brink on the big screen, telling a beautifully painful story about loneliness and mental health, and we're here to delve into it all. So, tune in as Alec, Brian, and special guests Darby (@gwenstacying) and Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey) dive into recent news and the biggest surprise hit Marvel's had in ages -- THUNDERBOLTS* (aka THE NEW AVENGERS)!

EP 116 - The Gay Witching Hour (ft. @gwenstacying)
"THE ONLY THING I'VE EVER REALLY WANTED... WAS TO BE UNDERSTOOD." After working on Gravity Falls, writer and artist Dana Terrace looked to produce her own off-the-wall animated series about the supernatural. After many revisions, the show would finally premiere in 2020 -- quite literally changing the game for animated kids' shows and queer/neurodivergent rep (much to the chagrin of Disney). While it didn't get to end the way it wanted to, thanks to certain suits who didn't believe the data that it was successful, it still managed to end with a bang. Two out of three people today watched it along the way. One of them just finished it three weeks ago. Time to yap. Tune in as Alec, Brian, and special guest Darby (@gwenstacying) talk about one of their favorite animated shows of all time -- THE OWL HOUSE!

EP 114 - Born Again
"WE ARE THE CITY WITHOUT FEAR." In 2021, three years after the final season and cancellation of Daredevil, Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio returned as Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk. In 2022, four years after said season and cancellation, a new revival series was announced. In 2023, five years after, the crash and burn of the original production ensued, causing a complete creative overhaul not just for the series itself, but the whole of Marvel Television. And now, nearly seven years on from A New Napkin and over three years on from Hawkeye and No Way Home, a new season of the Man Without Fear is here. So, did it come out of the cutting room unscathed? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian discuss recent news (such as the new Fantastic Four trailer) and dive into a massive spoiler-filled discussion of DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN - Season One!

EP 113 - Let the Devil Out
"YOU DON'T GET TO DESTROY WHO I AM." After the Devil of Hell's Kitchen's second season released, the Netflix corner of the MCU was on a bit of a downturn. While there were fan-favorite highlights such as Luke Cage Season Two and The Punisher Season One, others such as the former's first season, Jessica Jones Season Two, all of Iron Fist, and -- arguably most disappointing of all -- The Defenders, it seemed like this side of the MCU was doomed to fizzle entirely. When the Man Without Fear's third season was set to come out, many worried it would suffer that same fate. Probably why it was all the more surprising that it not only turned out to be the best season of the show, but arguably the best season of live action comic book television overall. So, how does it hold up? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian take a look at the third and (technically not, thank god) final season of Marvel's DAREDEVIL!
