Recorded a year ago! Wow! We dive into the first Marvel TV show and also make sure to talk about Stanley cups. If you recall they were all the rage Christmas of 2023. This is the last of the old episodes before starting up again. Sorry for any dated references. Don't cancel us.
This was recorded over a year ago! We've started recording new episodes. Lets call it Season 2! welcome us back. You're welcome. Rachel almost liked this one. Phew. The first Spider-man is our least listened to episode! Let's see if we can lift the curse!
We are joined by our pal Stephen Kropa to finish up the Infinity Stone saga and to watch this 3 hour monstrosity! Andrew has the flu for the 2nd half of this ep but it's fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE! Did Rachel hate this one?! No! Not totally! Amazing.
We are joined by our pal and light in darkness Laura Stevenson to talk about Captain Marvel. Did Rachel like it? Big big no! If you're reading this, stop reading it and click here to buy Laura's Self Titled record:l aurastevenson.bandcamp.com/album/laura-stevenson
Will Rachel finally enjoy an Avengers movie!? Not really but it's the closest we've ever got! She makes an involuntary "yuck" noise several times when Hulk and Captain America is mentioned. I mean, I get it! Anyway, we're almost done with this phase! Who cares!
We're back from a break! We JUMP into 'Ant Man and The Wasp' (pun not intended because 'jump' isn't a pun in this context). This episode was recorded 4-5 months ago so we talk about things that are wildly dated but hey, just don't care about that and we won't either! Also Rachel almost liked this one! We're in the zone. What zone?
We tricked Sadie from Speedy Ortiz into watching Black Widow with us. We talk bad (good?) Russian accents, the juice, face swapping for fun and profit, and of course we dive into another one of these fucking movies! Spending time we can never get back like coins thrown into a well of sadness! This episode is sponsored by Grumble Snacks! A Snack company that doesn't exist and is not once mentioned on the podcast!
Can a soft reboot of the Thor character save the franchise in Rachel's eyes? No! Oh no no. My sweet goodness no. Tessa Thompson does everything she can to save this but ultimately is a mess of googas and 5 hours too long. Anyway this episode is sponsored by love. Go tell someone you love them, don't make it weird though. If you think it might be weird just be like "sup?". Look, I can't be in charge of all your bad decisions. At a certain point you have to use the power of free will.
Rachel tries her absolute best to like this one, Andrew's 2nd fav Marvel movie but is simply not able to bring herself to do it. Will it cause a rift between everyone? No. It won't. This is a drama free zone and a Pajama glee throne! This episode is sponsored by Greg! Looking for a Brian but nothing seems to be working? Try Greg. It's like Brian but with a sweater.
Big news for the pod for 2 reasons (and raisins)! We are Joined by guest Joseph D'Agostino from Empty Country/Cymbals Eat Guitars and Rachel actually liked one of these movies! So blown away I didn't even make a jingle for it! We talk about how cats are related and how, in hindsight, good story and compelling characters can actually help make a movie good!
We talk about when we think we were conceived and Zoe describes, at length, a double date between 4 sentient items that we find absolutely bewildering. I can't explain it any better than that. We're in end times! Hold each other.
Holy crap! For the second time ever, Rachel ALMOST liked one of these movies! We talk about why this one is so good and the other's are not and why we will always ask for our sandwiches to be smooshed down when ordering. Strongly suspect this will be Rachel's favorite of all of them but time will tell and tell, will surely, time.
We watched the 3rd Captain America movie and talk about the band O-Town serenading Zoe the same night Marisa Tomei told Robin she looked beautiful. We talk about what dogs understand, and reluctantly, also about this movie. Everyone loves lil' baby Spider-Man but oh boy, this was a stinker. Anyway, hey, how are you?
The final film of the 2nd phase! Did Rachel almost like it!? Maaaaaybe! We talk a lot about ants. Ants, just like, the idea of ants. Anyway, I do think this is a good episode.
Oh boy! We watched the second Monster Mash! This movie was 2 hours of identical robots and our time on earth is short! Did Rachel finally like one of them? You have to listen to find out! But also, obviously, no, she didn't. Cool cool cool.
We watch the 2nd Thor film and talk about which infinity stone we would eat if we could only eat one and also how gross we think it is that Chris Hemsworth kissed his wife in a wig instead of kissing Natalie Portman. Some of us, against all odds, really liked this one! How?
We watched Guardians of The Galaxy! We talk about Christmas, cubes, spheres, and each of us gets briefly overwhelmed by the power of friendship. Did Rachel like it? Did googa problems break our stride? You have to listen to find out you old so and so!
We watched the second Captain America movie and so naturally we talk about the fortune teller who told Rachel how she was going to die and some wig work. This episode is sponsored by SimplySyrup a company I just made up while typing this, I think they send you syrups like a monthly thing. Oh, no, it's like one of those wine things where you take a quiz to find out what kind you like but this is for thick liquids. Please support our theoretical sponsors!
We watched the 3rd Iron Man film and some of us LOVED it! So naturally we talk a lot about Iranian horror films, William Shatner's experience going to space, and time travel dreams.
We talk about Robin seeing Shannon from Lost IRL, how often disgusting things happen in Barnes and Noble and also a movie that literally made over a billion dollars somehow
