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?
55. Thor: Ragnarok
We know him! He’s a friend from work!
In this episode, Joshua and Lani talk about post-colonialism, the humor of indigenous people, and feminine rage. Oh, and Lani decides she loves Thor. It’s a Ragnarok miracle!
54. Spider-Man: Homecoming
We do whatever a spider can!
For Homecoming, Lani and Joshua talk about the angry origins of Spider-Man, their appreciation for superheroes that don’t murder, and why the Vulture is one of the MCU’s great villains.
