The team is back together in Avengers: Age of Ultron—a movie packed with killer robots, Maximoff twins, and more quips than you can count. We break down Tony’s bad decisions, Vision’s big entrance, and whether this crowded sequel deserves more love than it gets. Plus, we celebrate our two-year podcast anniversary as we reflect on the movie that set the stage for Marvel’s biggest conflicts to come. From floating cities to Hulk lullabies and romances out of left field, we ask: was this messy middle chapter secretly essential all along?

Guardians of the Galaxy
The MCU takes a wild left turn into the cosmos with Guardians of the Galaxy—the movie that proved Marvel could get weird, funny, and heartfelt all at once. We talk about the unlikely breakout of a talking raccoon and a tree with a three-word vocabulary, Chris Pratt’s star-making turn as Star-Lord, and how James Gunn turned a ragtag bunch of misfits into one of Marvel’s most beloved teams. From killer needle drops to space dance-offs, we explore how this gamble paid off and why the MCU was never the same after.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier
We are so hyped for this one—Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the film that redefined what a solo hero story could be in the MCU. From elevator fights to political paranoia, Cap’s second outing trades the star-spangled nostalgia of the 2011 film for a pulse-pounding spy thriller that still stands out as one of Marvel’s best. We talk Hydra reveals, friendship tested, and why Steve Rogers’ idealism hits harder than any shield throw. This wasn't just a superhero movie—it was a game-changer.

Thor: The Dark World
Ta-da!! This week, we revisit Thor: The Dark World. Yes, the one often sitting near the bottom of MCU rankings. We test each other’s film knowledge, dive into what makes this cosmic sequel feel so forgettable, and debate whether it deserves its reputation as one of Marvel’s weakest. From dark elves and Aether confusion to surprisingly strong Loki moments, we sift through the shadows to find out if there’s more to love here than the critics gave credit for.

Iron Man 3
Tony’s back! And so are his emotional scars. In Iron Man 3, the first film of Phase Two and the most Christmas-y Marvel movie in the Infinity Saga. We talk Iron Man's post-Avengers PTSD, his touching friendship with a snarky, small-town, Stark-esque kid, and Shane Black’s deft mix of quips and explosions. From a fireworks display of exploding suits to that Mandarin twist, we unpack the leaps Marvel took, the moments that did and did not pay off, and why Tony’s journey here might be his most human yet.
Two best friends hit rewind on their favorite movies and shows, from superhero blockbusters to cult classics—diving into epic scenes, surprising details, and behind-the-scenes stories. Expect deep dives, friendly roasts, and so many memorable quotes as we blend heart, humor, and nostalgia to help you see these stories in a whole new way (or fall in love with them all over again).
