We'll go ahead and ignore your Agents of SHIELD and your Agent Carters. And your Daredevils and Defenders. And also your Runaways. Was Cloak and Dagger part of the MCU? Listen, Marvel has been pushing TV projects basically since the first Avengers movie, so it's kind of bizarre that they are treating these Disney+ shows like they're the MCU's first foray into television. Anyway, here's Wandavision! Ian and Bobby both appreciate that two of the strongest actors in the MCU get to finally flex their skills, and also love the big creative swing this one takes. Next time...even more TV!

After a prolonged break, we're back and ready to tackle the post-Endgame MCU. Tom Holland's Spider-Man has largely been defined by his relationship to Tony Stark. So what happens when Tony Stark is removed from the equation? Ian and Bobby argue about it, obviously. Enjoy the last MCU entry to have been released before the world went absolutely insane.

Here it is, the Endgame of all your good intentions. I literally can't believe that Avatar is the highest grossing movie of all time.

The guys tackle the MCU's first female-led superhero movie. Bobby apparently hates women.

Here's the film follow-up the entire world was clamoring for! Marvel's biggest A-lister, hot off his mega-hit movie, returns for a sequel--and this time he's got his girlfriend! What's the deal with Ant-Man and the Wasp anyway. Are they official? Are they seeing other people? Here's a movie where the lead is actually its septuagenarian star, but the script constantly tries to distract you from that with every other character. Here's a movie where its sympathetic villain cackles with bloodlust over the thought of killing a young child. Here's a film where Walton Goggins is called in to run around and goggins all over the place, even if he has no actual place in the action. And here, also, is a film where Luis remains the greatest MCU character of all time. All jokes aside, the guys agree that this movie is pretty good. Next week...something Marvelous!

Ian and Bobby tackle Infinity War. Or Avengers 3. Or Endgame Part 1. Bobby is up to usually shenanigans and hates this movie. Everyone rolls their eyes and Bobby begs to understand why this movie is so well regarded. Listen, Bobby's wrong. If you're going to support the output of one of the biggest and most evil corporations in the world, why even try to make a distinction in quality. If the governing principle of the creation of the MCU was "Hey, maybe one day Hulk and Iron Man America can punch things together", have we not arrived? What do you even want out of this? The Great Mouse put the talking raccoon on Thor's shoulder. Are you not entertained? Should this film not be exempt from the same criteria that every other filmed is judged by? Captain America has a cool new shield he can stab people with. Shut up and take your medicine.

Wakanda Forever! Ian and Bobby do Black Panther! What's to say? It's Black Panther. It's the MCU film that became a cultural zeitgeist, made T'Challa a household name, cemented the late Chadwick Boseman's legacy, spawned #KillmongerWasRight, and got itself a bunch of Oscar nominations, including one for Best Picture. The guys are pretty much in agreement that this movie rocks. Next week, it all culminates in an Infinity War.

It's the end of the world as Thor knows it, and he doesn't actually feel great about. Here's the dour movie an entire chunk of Age of Ultron teased and it's...not actually very dour at all. Unlike the other Thor movies, Ian and Bobby agree that Thor Ragnarok is kind of great. The MCU finally decides to go all in on Chris Hemsorth's comedic chops and Taika Waititi delivers one of the funniest but also one of the most thoughtful MCU movies. Next week: Wakanda Forever!

Spidey's home baybeeeee! It had been a two years since Tom Holland's appearance in Civil War and an amazing four years since Andrew Garfield's turn as the webslinger. We were dangerously close to violating the contract we made with the Ancient Ones, which stipulates that in order to maintain planetary order, we have to make a Spider-Man movie every two years. This one's different though, because unlike those other movies, Spider-Man is in high school. Well, except for the first Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movie. And except for both of the Andrew Garfield ones. And Into the Spider-Verse...except for that one too. Next week, Thor sees the end of the world!

Ian and Bobby tackle our favorite interstellar gang's second entry into the MCU. In this entry, James Gunn has once again put together a compilation album for the ages, guaranteed to please dads from Terran and the whole universe over. Have questions answered such as how fine a girl, exactly, is Brandy? If you don't love me now, will you love me again? When will it be time to make a change? And lastly, have we been sleeping on Zardu Hasslefrau's career as a music sensation? The guys talk about these hits, as well as the 2-hour music video James Gunn lovingly crafted to go along them. Next week, our webslinger friend Comes Home.
