Super-fan Sayer and neophyte Kaylee discuss each film as they watch through the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
I mean... it's kind of fitting that our 69th episode is about the heroes who would actually make that joke...
Strap in and strap on as we get back to the space playlists, with some deep dives into raccoon trauma, this time with a GUEST HOST! Ian Ronningan fills in for Kaylee this week, and we couldn't be more grateful for his insights and love of the Guardians.
Let's get tiny, again. No but this time REALLY tiny. Like, Horton Hears a Who tiny. The whole Ant-Fam is coming on this journey, and we'll get to know another side of Jonathan Majors' compendium of charters, plus maybe we'll learn a little too much about Janet and Hank's "needs"...
Darling it's better down where it's wetter, take it from Namor. Wakanda isn't the only kid in town with fancy vibranium toys, and Toby from The West Wing is teaming up with VP Selina Meyer from Veep to suss it out! Well, that's our take at least. Grab a passing whale and come along for the ride, with some moving tributes to the loss of Chadwick/T'Challa.
Do you want some space romps? Do you want anthropomorphized weapons? Do you want screaming goats? Then you may just need to tag along as we watch Thor's latest gallivant through space with his rag-tag group of companions as they try and stop Christian Bale's bad teeth.

WE'RE BACK BABY! And let's get right into the mayhem of Stephen's weird worlds. This one was a wild ride, full of Raimi-isms and Danny Elfman flair, unexpected cameos, huge ramifications for what comes next, and lots of actors hand waving for their lives.
We're also excited to announce we've joined The Ordinary Podcasting Network, and we'll have many more episodes coming out this year! Check ...
There was an idea... to bring together a group of remarkable Podcasts, to see if we could become something more...
It finally happened! After an unexpected hiatus, Kaylee and Sayer are back and diving right in to this MAMMOTH of nostalgia. All of Kaylee's Spider-training has led to this; she's seen the other films, she's (amazingly) avoided almost every spoiler out there, and is now ready to be hit right in the feels. Soundtrack breakdowns, emotional moments, which Spidey is best, we've got it all and are SO happy to be back...
While we wait to catch Tom's latest swing through NYC, Kaylee meets a few more Spideys out there in the infinitely rewatchable Spider-Verse. In this new medium of storytelling, she makes some discoveries about who Spider-Man really is, and how live-action sometimes hasn't captured that essence quite like this flawless animated film.
Can you believe it's been ONE YEAR since we started?! A lot has happened, in the MCU, in our own world, and we're so grateful to all of you who have joined and supported us through this journey. So much more to come, so keep listening and letting us know what you think <3
Let's wrap this up with a bow and put it under the tree! Well, it's Clint himself who ends up literally under the tree, with revelations galore and new characters to introduce.
Stick around to the end to here some brief thoughts from Sayer about Spider-Man: No Way Home (SPOILERS!!!)
5 years on the heels of Tobey's last outing as the web-head, Andrew steps up to plate with a much more contemporary and edgy take. We talk about what fell short, and what truly was Amazing about these 2 films.
Pew pew pew! Heh, get it? The plot thickens as we learn more about Jack, Maya and Sloan LTD, and Kate and Clint's go-to Christmas drinks.
Before we catch up with Tom's Spidey in No Way Home, we go "back to formula" and where it all started - organic webbing, 30 year old high-schoolers, kidnapped MJ and Danny Elfman. Join us as we get a huge dose of nostalgia with Sam Raimi's trilogy, starring everyone's first Spider-Man, Tobey Maguire.

Sayer and Kaylee compare archery stories from their youth as we learn more about just how tangled the legacy Ronin left behind is. New characters, lots of action, and some KING sized clues as to who may be showing up, knocking us down like a bowling PIN...
It's Christmas in New York, and there's definitely no way you'll be forgetting that fact, in Marvel's most Christmas-y story yet. We're one step away from getting Renner actually saying "Humbug", and honestly, we wouldn't be mad. Get to know Kate Bishop and her family drama, aspirations, and a one-eyed dog that has us looking out for Nick Fury references.
Sayer attended the press conference for Hawkeye (Kaylee is a busy and in-demand artist!) so he breaks down all the goss for her. And yes, to answer THE burning question, Kevin Feige is getting plenty of sleep.
The cosmic world has been blown wide open with this one, Celestials are here and their message is "Show me what you got!". While some reviews are trending low for this film, we have a different take, especially Kaylee, for what she feels like is the first film really aimed more at audiences like her.
We were so grateful to interview Lia and chat about her character Sprite, an immense standout from Eternals. We can't wait for all of you to see her amazing work in this beautiful film!
Get ready for the next phase of the MCU because IT IS HERE. Well, almost, still 1 more week, but until then, enjoy this little sneak peak to whet your appetites.
Things get Multi-versal in these final 3 episodes for sure, and the implications moving forward could be huge or none at all, who can say at this point?! Only Jeffrey Wright's Watcher knows what's up, and we're going to be keeping a close eye out for him in any reflections from now on...
