Eduardo, Peach3z, Chris, and Robbie are back to discuss "Power Broker," the third episode of the Marvel Studios Disney+ series THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER. As Sam and Bucky reluctantly go undercover in the underworld of Madripoor with their new "ally" Baron Helmut Zemo, they come face to face with an old friend: Agent 13 herself, Sharon Carter. Meanwhile, the Flag-Smashers are doing... things. For... reasons? Join the AR crew as they tackle the important questions: Who is the Power Broker? What is so important about Madripoor? When did Sharon become a cold-blooded killer? Where did Zemo learn to dance like that? Why are the Flag-Smashers and GRC so confusing? How does Zemo know so much about African-American culture? Tune in for the answers to SOME of those questions!

Eduardo, Peach3z, Chris, and Robbie are back to discuss the new Captain America, the resentment between the two best friends of the old Captain America, and the tragic and disturbing real-life inspiration for the story of Isaiah Bradley, "the Black Captain America." Is Bucky right to be mad at Sam for giving up the shield? What are the Flag-Smashers trying to accomplish, and do they have a point?

02:17:22||Ep. 48It's time to say goodbye to one of the most unusual stories ever told in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Eduardo, Peach3z, Chris, and Robbie discuss episode 9 of the Disney+ Marvel Studios limited series WANDAVISION, "The Series Finale." The guys discuss what happens when you get too invested in your own theories, the clever resolutions to the two climactic confrontations, and try to keep their salty water in their faces when talking about the bittersweet ending. All that, plus a very important public service announcement! And tune in two weeks from now as we do it all over again for THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER!47. WandaVision - Episode 8, "Previously On"
02:39:24||Ep. 47It's time for a trip down memory lane as Eduardo, Peach3z, Chris, and Robbie discuss the penultimate episode of the Marvel Studios Disney+ series WANDAVISION, "Previously On." Agatha Harkness takes Wanda and viewers on a journey through Wanda's past to try to get to the bottom of the Westview Anomaly, and we learn that things have not always been as they've seemed. Along the way, they talk a lot about grief, the nature of fan theories, and comic book writers who seem not to like the characters they're writing about.46. WandaVision - Episode 7, "Breaking the Fourth Wall"
01:49:02||Ep. 46We're starting to get some answers (and more questions) as Eduardo, Peach3z, Chris, and Robbie get together to discuss "Breaking the Fourth Wall," the seventh episode of the Marvel Studios Disney+ series WANDAVISION. Happy Endings are in doubt for Wanda and Vision's Modern Family, as Vision has traded in The Office for the circus and meets a new friend, while Wanda makes a discovery that changes everything (and will stick in your head for days). All that, plus discussion about film professors having bad opinions about music in film, an explanation of the Zonai, and the return of the Surveillance Stork.45. WandaVision - Episode 6, "All-New Halloween Spooktacular!"
02:35:52||Ep. 45Grab your pumpkins and hang up your bats, because its Halloween in February as we discuss episode 6 of WANDAVISION, "All-New Halloween Spooktacular!" Eduardo, Peach3z, Chris, and Robbie are joined by first-time guest Arnaldo, who shares his top five MCU films, his thoughts on the multiverse, and the Watto Theory, which we predict will dominate the WandaVision discourse for the rest of the week. Enjoy, and be sure also to check out Arnaldo's podcast, "Films from the Phantom Zone!"PLEASE NOTE: Originally there was an issue with the upload and the last 45 minutes were missing. That's fixed now!
