captain-marvel

Jerome and Brian have just three episodes left in their second season, and they go back to 1995 by way of 2019 to discuss Captain Marvel, a perfectly adequate throwback that gets a little too cutesy with its feminist messages but still features some strong work by Brie Larson. Continue reading The Superhero Pantheon Vol.2 – Episode 58: Captain Marvel

15) Fallout

Ben Phillips & Matt Waters are sick to death of Oscar contenders so have decided to get their spy on instead, examining how the Mission: Impossible, Bourne and James Bond franchises have danced around each other over the years.

Ben & Matt’s journey has reached its premature terminus thanks to No Time to Die’s delay, but in many ways Fallout is a fitting ending as it is their most contentious episode to date.

Secret Agent Men – Episode 14: Jason Bourne

14) Jason Bourne
