Loki Season 2 comes to a climax as one of the most complex and well-performed characters gets a very fitting ending (it appears), and my guest Anne and I get into every detail along the way, as we discuss the writing, direction, costuming, and other choices made and how they impact the story as a whole.
The branches get much more literal.
It’s the penultimate episode of Loki Season 2, and Anne and I have quite a bit to discuss, from the gorgeous camerawork to the rise of the God of Stories. Take a listen, and let us know what you think!
I have a feeling we’ll be hearing this line from Tom Hiddleston’s mouth soon.
Continuing our Deep Dive on the second season of Loki, we’ve reached Episode 4. But with that ending, is it the last episode? No, but we’ll discuss our theories on what happens this episode, see where theories went right or wrong from past episodes, and what happens next.
In the episode, we discuss some Soviet-era mosaics and specifically mention a website to view some of them. Said website can be found here.
One particularly appropriate example, in case you don’t have time to click the link above…
The Deep Dive of Season 2 of Loki continues with Guest Anne Valliant. There is much costume discussion, as well as World’s Fair history, as we look at the episode that takes place almost entirely in the year that it’s named after…1893.
The production team did a great job recreating the Ferris Wheel (actual photo seen here)
Did we get an appearance from Turner D. Century? (Maybe, but probably not…)
We’re starting a new Deep Dive, but it’s our first continuation, as we discuss Season 2 of Loki. Guest Dennis Riddle joins me for this episode as we discuss the new characters, the new situations, and of course, any comic book connections. Plus, how many hair flips does Loki do?
Let’s go!
It’s been hinted at and this week we finally know for sure what the “Harvest” is and why it’s so important. Once again, Dag joins me for this Deep Dive into Secret Invasion. Find out who our favorite new MCU character is among other things in this penultimate episode.
Fine, I’ll just tell you…It’s her. She’s our favorite new MCU character.
From last week’s “Betrayed,” to this week’s “Beloved,” we’ve got some important conversations, and one giant action scene. Dag and I discuss all the details of this episode, including the Skrull reveal (that was really done last episode), and another fateful death.
Yes, but for how long?
This week’s episode of Secret Invasion is titled “Betrayed,” and it makes sense, as there are plenty of people feeling that way. Fortunately, Dag didn’t betray me, and he showed up to bring his thoughts on the show. Together, he and I discuss the ins and outs of the plot, and where we think things will go from here.
The comic book version of Varra has made only a couple of appearances. This is the one you can see her best in.
Secrets are starting to be revealed in this Secret Invasion, especially right at the end of this episode. Special guest Dag (aka TrekNexus) and I discuss our thoughts, theories, and general opinions on the episode titled “Promises.”
We have a feeling that this guy (or someone very similar) is in our future…
…so you should learn his Theme Song.
Who Can You Trust? Find out (or at least theorize) in this first episode of our Deep Dive into the Secret Invasion show on Disney+. Is Nick Fury really as washed up as everyone says he is, or is that just another one of his spy tricks? Special guest TrekNexus from the Beyond Trek podcast joins me as we debate that and other details from the show.
If you watch this after watching Episode 1, you’ll notice some new things you didn’t see the first time.
I say the chances of seeing something like this in the show are just about nil, but that’s okay, because this never was something that actually happened in the comics either.
No soda sipping for the original Talos…
As I say in the episode, I believe this is Gravik’s closest comic counterpart.
Longtime horror fan (of both movies and comics) Michael Vee joins me in this Deep Dive of the Disney+ Special Presentation of “Werewolf By Night,” inspired by the comics and films on which my guest is quite knowledgable. Just in time for Halloween, take a listen after you’ve watched the show, because Spooky Spoilers Abound!
You probably should have planned ahead on this, Jack.
Yes, he’s Giant-Sized.
Wait, that’s Elsa Bloodstone? Well, not for long…
Yeah, that’s what she looks like usually (as opposed to her first appearance above).
Andy Wilson from the Kiss Your Franchise Goodbye podcast and Kristin Scalisi both return to discuss the final episode of (this season of?) She-Hulk, and its themes, ideas, and of course, K.E.V.I.N. We also take tangents on “clip shows” and embarrassing bedroom posters.
There’s only one new character that I would show their comic book picture of this episode, and they don’t show up until the final scene, so I’ll leave that spoiler out.
Andy Wilson from the Kiss Your Franchise Goodbye podcast and Kristin Scalisi both return to discuss the latest episode of She-Hulk. Of course we talk Daredevil, but also the history of Leapfrog, the Sokovia Accords, and secret identities in general.
He actually makes a “Sproing!” sound when he jumps in the comics, thanks to those springs.
A modern rendering of Daredevil’s original suit, which as you can see, was the basis for this episode’s version.
Brooke Heyn and Andy Wilson from the Kiss Your Franchise Goodbye podcast both return to Dive Deep into the latest episode of She-Hulk. In addition to learning a lot about Jen’s dating life, you also get to hear some of the personal history of the podcasters themselves, as various moments from the show bring up memories.
Hello! My name is El Aguila. Prepare…to cry.
Man-Bull has ranged from the mannish side of things…
to quite Bullish. Do you have a preference?
Porcupine as he appeared on the cover of his first appearance. As I said in the show, you couldn’t get much more accurate than this.
So, was Saracen supposed to be this guy?
or this one? (Believe it or not, I think they meant to reference the latter)
Kristin Scalisi returns to join me and Andy Wilson from the Kiss Your Franchise Goodbye podcast to Dive Deep into the latest episode of She-Hulk. There’s a whole lot of wedding talk, and we learn (and reiterate) two very important lessons. Find out what they are by listening to this week’s Welcome to Geektown!
Mr. Immortal is the blond in the middle. As you can see, he’s been changed slightly for the show…
One potential Leader of The Intelligencia. In his original comic book look…
and the later “Jiffy Pop head” appearance.
It’s just me and Andy Wilson from the Kiss Your Franchise Goodbye podcast this time to Dive Deep into the latest episode of She-Hulk, in which Titania finally returns, as she and Jen fight (in the legal sense) over the name “She-Hulk.” In addition, we get the MCU’s equivalent of Edna Mode, and a tease for a certain blind lawyer. We break it all down for you in this episode!
How does this non-superhero book from Marvel tie in to this week’s episode of She-Hulk? Take a listen and find out!
As Brooke was unavailable this week, Kristin Scalisi joined me and Andy Wilson from the Kiss Your Franchise Goodbye podcast to Dive Deep into the latest episode of She-Hulk. Wong returns, along with our new favorite, Madisynn (thankfully, she spells it out for us, so I know I got that right), and their antics inspire us to discuss the copyright of magic, various premium TV shows, and yak milk.
Two of the new characters introduced this episode. Donny Blaze and Madisynn. And I do mean new. They have never appeared in Marvel Comics, but is one a relation to a famous hero? Maybe…
Brooke Heyn and Andy Wilson, both from the Kiss Your Franchise Goodbye podcast return again for a look at the She-Hulk show. We’re finally past all the set up, and we have what feels like what should be a “typical episode,” if such a beast exists. We break down the show, as each of us ends up revealing our own personal trauma brought up by specific moments in this sitcom.
Mallory Book enters the show, albeit briefly.
As do the Wrecking Crew, albeit embarrassingly.
Continuing the Deep Dive into the She-Hulk show, I get a much needed female perspective in the form of Brooke Heyn along with the returning Andy Wilson, both from the Kiss Your Franchise Goodbye podcast. In addition to breaking down the show, we veer into other subjects both serious and frivolous, including issues of mental control and consent to comics as case law.
As I noted, pretty darn close to the show, with one key reversal.
Pug. If you don’t love him already, I’m sure you will soon.
But only Marvel Comics…Sorry DC.
As should be obvious by now, I love the character of She-Hulk, so I’m going to be diving into her “fun lawyer show” on Disney+, along with guest Andy Wilson from the Kiss Your Franchise Goodbye podcast. In this first episode, we get Jen’s super heroic origin story, and we learn more about Captain America than we may have wanted…
