Return to more classic Marvel Cinematic Universe content with the awkwardly titled "The Falcon and The Winter Solider". Come for the shooty-fighty-punchy stuff you expect from Marvel movies but stay for the character development and discussion of themes such as racial inequality and nationalism that a streaming show gives additional room to focus on.

To avoid SPOILERS for "The Falcon and The Winter Solider", skip over 44:10- 1:12:24 of the episode.

Music and audio from "The Falcon and The Winter Solider" is the property of Henry Jackman, Malcom Spellman, Kevin Feige, Kari Skogland, and Marvel Studios.

The intro and outro music was created by Cackles and Jeremy Eckert. We thank them for their generous support of this podcast.

Sometimes it takes a while for a movie or TV series to get a proper sequel. But what drives people to develop sequels to franchises more than 20 years after the original? Do these "decades later" sequels work to introduce a franchise and beloved characters to a new generation? Or do they fail because they left the audience waiting too long?

Is that a JoJo reference?

The two most (arguably) iconic movie monsters of all time come together for the first time (since 1962) on the big screen (if you're able to attend movie theatres) for true clash of the titans. And this time, there is a definitive winner!

Join us for a conversation on the idea of "versus" movies, the Monsterverse, and diving into details of a movie where those details shouldn't matter.

To avoid SPOILERS for "Godzilla vs. Kong", skip over 51:10- 1:04:33 of the episode.
