63. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (S3.11-22)
We’re running. Very Fast. Away.
Just like real life, it is a cavalcade of difficult topics for Joshua and Lani discuss. Slavery, both fictional and otherwise, the misuse of police powers, and more are mixed into the usual, and enjoyable, spy and relationship shenanigans.
62. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (S3.1-10)
We’ll discuss the consequences of your little science fair later.
As we pick back up with the Agents, Joshua discusses the thematic overlap between Inhumans and the X-Men. Then Lani and Joshua kick around the various couples and how their relationships impact the arc.
61. Spider-Man: Far From Home
We’re leaving because of witches. Welcome to the new Dark Ages.
Joshua discusses the many and deadly foes of Spider-Man while defending secret identities. Then, Lani and Joshua discuss how this could have been two great Spidey movies instead of one good one.
60. Avengers: Endgame
Until this exact moment, we thought you were Build-A-Bear
At last! The ending of one of the greatest cinematic achievements of all time! Lani and Joshua talk about the end to the Thanos Saga as well as the mixed bag of endings some of our original Avengers received. Joshua also goes back to the DC Universe of the mid 1990s to try and explain the time travel in this movie. (Spoiler: it isn’t really time travel.)
59. Captain Marvel
We go higher, further, faster, baby!
LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE as Joshua and Lani have a bit of a disagreement over CAPTAIN MARVEL. Lani hates it, Joshua loves it, but who will win? YOU DECIDE!
58. Ant-Man and the Wasp
Look at the hairdo. We’re all business.
For an adventure this size, Joshua and Lani discuss the Winsome Wasp, the power of charm, and quantum sized Ulta.
57. Avengers: Infinity War
We’re not looking for forgiveness and we’re way past asking permission.
For INFINITY WAR, Lani and Joshua discuss what happens when you think of Thanos as being METAL and then proceed to get real philosophical about this allegedly big dumb superhero story.
75. Listen Up, Hand-Holes: The Muppet Movie
One honey cone for the bear, one dragonfly ripple for the frog. Don’t get ‘em mixed up.
For their first look at a feature length project, Joshua and Lani dig into THE MUPPET MOVIE. How do the Muppets’ particular brand of chaos transfer from skits and gags to the big screen? Pretty well, honestly, but not without some bumps in the road.
56. Black Panther
WAKANDA FOREVER!
For BLACK PANTHER, Joshua and Lani discuss the joy of stories so full of amazing women and people of color, the history of Wakanda, both fictional and metatextual, and even dip their toes into afrofuturism and the Parliament Funkadelic. Are you hip to Easter Island?
