Anne (who helped me discuss both seasons of Loki) fills in for Joel on this final Deep Dive on Agatha All Along. We discuss the final episode, which fills in quite a bit of the past, and discuss what it means for the future; of these characters and their place in the MCU.
You couldn’t have had her say she’s been “Agatha All Along”?
The final two episodes of Agatha All Along were released at once, but my conversation with Anne (filling in for Joel) was too long to put out in one go, so this is the penultimate discussion. Secrets galore are uncovered and we get a fight to the death…with Death.
Hey Rio…
Last episode I mentioned the “half-skull/half-flesh” face look for Death. Here’s one example.
It’s Episode 7 of 9, but the Voyage is All Along the Witches Road! Joel and I continue our Deep Dive on the latest MCU show, with quite a bit of discussion on Tarot thanks to some extra expertise from friend of the show Johnnie Breen.
Of course, after the podcast was recorded, they announced an official Tarot deck that you can pre-order now.
Well, hello there, Billy! It’s (mostly) a flashback episode, where we fill in a lot of the gaps of how we got to where we are with Teen (aka William Kaplan, aka Billy Maximoff, aka Wiccan). Some questions get answered, though others are asked, as Joel and I continue our Agatha All Along Deep Dive.
This makes sense as a related image if you’ve seen the episode. Trust me…
We’ve reached the halfway point of Agatha All Along, with some major reveals, and Joel and I have plenty to say about it, as well as a fairly long conversation at the end about our feelings on the MCU in general, post-Endgame. Take a listen and let us know what you think!
Don’t scroll down until you’ve watched the show, otherwise you’ll learn that this Teen…
…is this guy in the comics…
…who we all previously saw in Wandavision.
We may have lost Mrs. Hart (Sharon!), but we’re continuing to talk about the rest of the coven in our Deep Dive of Agatha All Along. Hear Joel and Kurt’s theories about who Teen and Rio really are, and their relationships to the title character, plus some musical talk from a recurring contributor.
Some of the people we think inspired their second trial outfits, including Agatha’s…
…Alice…
…Jen’s…
and Teen.
We’re moving on down the road in Episode 3 of Agatha All Along. As the coven faces their first trial, Joel and Kurt are surprised to discover an old name get mentioned that they had relegated to the dead theory pile at the end of WandaVision.
Speak of the Devil…
We begin the Agatha All Along Deep Dive with a double episode dose of witchy goodness. There are many questions raised to theorize on, and tons of new characters to discuss and compare to their Marvel Comics counterparts. Take a listen, and then let us know your thoughts!
I mentioned it on the show twice, so I figured I should link it as well.
The comic versions of our new coven: Lilia Calderu…
Jennifer Kale (on right)…
and Alice Wu-Gulliver (or Alice Gulliver, whose title is “The Wu”)
Since the next few weeks will be devoted to a Deep Dive of the Agatha All Along show, I thought it would be a good idea to edit together some of the thoughts Joel and I had about Agnes/Agatha as she appeared in WandaVision, along with a comparison to her comic book counterpart, edited together from the WandaVision Deep Dive.
Wait, it was who?
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!
The final episode of Secret Invasion takes us “Home.” Well, at least, for those that survived. To find out who those are, take a listen as Dag and I discuss the season finale, it’s ups and downs, and what it might mean for future MCU projects.
It’s time to play…Spot the Powers!
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.
