The boys rattle through the 29th movie in the MCU, trying to find ways to be nice. They talk about the film’s comic origins as a major 616 storyline, the viability of early-stage rumours about the Mighty Thor, and flicking people’s clothes off. They also hit on God bombs, sentient weapons and full showman mode.

Sorcerers, witches and slingies. As the boys break down the 28th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Oli and Dave swapping positions on terrible plot dumps, Oli going full grump on pointless backstory, and Dave dives into everything from the Wanda/Scarlet Witch contrast to the Young Avengers to the Illuminati.  Plus, you can enjoy Oli’s…

Besties, closure and three times the fun. We’re up to film number 27 in the MCU and another exceptional instalment of Spider-Man with No Way Home. Dave and Oli discuss what was believed, leaked and known about the triple-threat Spider-Men, the closure this film give to Maguire and Garfield fans, and the sheer number of…

Big casts, bigger celestials, tiny rainforests Oli gets wound up over rainforests, finger guns, opening crawls and (more reasonably) disabled representation, while Dave ploughs his way through the comic canon of the Eternals and what they (and the Celestials) mean to the comic and cinematic universes. No spoilers for what comes next following Areshem’s emergence,…

Awkward history, top chemistry, great fights. Dave and Oli dive into the 25th film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, talking awkward history, ret-conned character adjustments and, naturally, they use their vast martial arts knowledge to rate the fights as they go along.

Look back at the Infinity Saga and ahead to the (still incomplete at the time of recording) Multiverse Saga.

Fake Heroes, real relationships. Dave and Oli discuss the 23rd film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the (official) final film in the Infinity Saga. From call backs to the very start of the MCU to Shakespearean references, ridiculous villains to mentions of the multiverse, the guys dive into it all.

The closest thing to perfect. We’re finally here! Dave and Oli dive into Endgame from its gut-punching opening to its curtain-call ending, nothing is missed. Except possibly your favourite bit, because that’s always how these things go.  Oli talks about the three things (one tiny, one small, one big) that make this not a perfect…

Simming Skrulls and Krafty Kree. We’re back from our extended break and can’t wait to bring you the latest instalment as we look at the 21st film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
