“Ronin” maintains the high-quality momentum Hawkeye has been building through 5 episodes now, on our way to what should be a fantastic finale! Florence Pugh is back and as charismatic as ever as Yelena, who confronts Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) with difficult truths and questions about Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner). Speaking of Barton, he’s doing his best to protect his family while trying desperately to get through to Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox). We break down all of that and the arrival of another fan favorite in this spoiler review!
Hosted by Sean Gerber and Paul Hermann.

It was everything we thought it could be and so, so much more. Spider-Man: No Way Home is a special film that feels destined to take its place alongside the very best of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man movies, and all of superhero cinema. Only time and repeat viewings will tell, but we’ll go ahead and start now by breaking down every amazing detail (or most of them, at least) in this spectacular story!

Partners, am I right? Another week, another stellar episode of Hawkeye as Clint “CB1” Barton and Kate Bishop continue to develop their partnership and friendship. Strengthening those bonds, however, increases the emotional risk to go with the physical danger our heroes find themselves in. We break down how beautifully this episode handles all of that rich character work, and ugly sweaters, in this spoiler review!

“Echoes” is an instant classic that belongs in the conversation for the best Marvel Studios episodes on Disney+ this year. It’s hilarious. It’s action-packed. It moves like it’s being chased by the Tracksuit Mafia in a ’72 Challenger. All of that is cool enough, but it’s the pauses for the emotional, heartstring-pulling moments that make this installment one of the all-time greats.
It’s so much of what we love most about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, all rolled into a single episode and we are delighted to break it all down!

Never meet your heroes, unless your name is Kate Bishop and your hero is Clint Barton. Then, meeting your hero might save your life.

We break it all down and pay tribute to PIzza Dog in our spoiler review of the series premiere!

Sony made a big event out of the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer premiere and for good reason. It is quite a trailer, revealing (at least) 5 villains from Spidey’s multi-era movie history that are now in the MCU. Doctor Strange seemingly offers a morally ambiguous solution, setting the stage for a philosophical, physical, and metaphysical confrontation with our friendly neighborhood hero.
We break down all that we see (and don’t see) in a trailer that made the wait until December 17 feel just a bit longer.

Disney+ Day 2021 has come and gone without making nearly the impact that it could have. Fans and investors were disappointed by the lack new, concrete information about upcoming projects and when we can expect to see them. There were also plenty of repeat announcements from previous marketing events with little or nothing added. The Twitter thread presentation method also left much to be desired.
But it wasn’t all bad and our disappointment about Disney+ Day does not reflect our feelings about what will eventually come to the streaming platform from Marvel Studios. That’s just the first half hour of the show.
We’re still very, very excited about Hawkeye, Moon Knight, She-Hulk, Ms. Marvel, Echo, Ironheart, Agatha: House of Harkness, Secret Invasion, Armor Wars, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, X-Men ’97, What If…? Season 2, Loki Season 2, Spider-Man: Freshman Year, and I Am Groot. We’ll see about Marvel Zombies.
We share our thoughts based on what we know about these projects and discuss Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness reshoots and additional photography in this episode!

Much has been said and written about Eternals, but now, it's our turn. We break down Eternals, diving deep into its themes and epic ethical dilemmas on a cosmic scale before examining each of the MCU's newest heroes (and antagonists). We also discuss one of the best combinations of mid and post-credits scenes with which Marvel Studios has blessed us.

Marvel Studios has updated its movie release calendar for the umpteenth time in the past 18 months. We'll have to wait a little longer to see Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness with corresponding delays to the rest of the slate. Of course, in a time when new MCU stories are in theaters or on Disney+ as frequently as we see them now, it's hard to be that mad about it.
Instead, we're looking forward to Disney+ Day as Sean shares his Top 5 hopes and dreams for what we might see/hear/learn from Marvel Studios on November 12.
