Marvel Mondays: Ranking the ‘What If…?’ Season 2 Episodes

The first season of What If…? was one of the worst things Marvel have produced for the MCU, but they were already committed to this second season so here we are. Some people will tell you it’s Actually Good this time. I disagree!

Untitled BoJack Horseman Project: Episode 7

BoJack’s turned his life around and has finally found happiness and we’re sure that won’t immediately implode causing him to lose everything and everyone near and dear to him. No way!

We debate if ‘The View from Halfway Down’ deserves its litany of plaudits, discuss how well they ‘landed the plane’ and wonder what the show might have looked like if they’d gotten two full seasons as originally planned.

Plus a whole portion on the Community movie, obviously!

Untitled BoJack Horseman Project: Episode 6

They released it in two parts, so we’re talkin’ about it in two parts. Deal with it!

BoJack is in rehab, Diane is in Chicago, Mr Peanutbutter is in hot water of his own making and Princess Carolyn is really not doing so well juggling work and her new child. Plus Todd’s complicated family dynamic is at least revealed.

Is the part one/part two thing ever called for? Would this have been better as two longer seasons or one truncated one? Was it even time to end the show at all? Let’s find out!

The Superhero Pantheon Series Finale

Five years is a long time, but in many ways it’s felt like a blip.

Jerome and Brian reflect on the podcast, superhero movies, and even the ending lines that come at the end of each podcast. It’s end of a long journey but also the start of a new one.

Jerome & Kevin Present – Cancelled Too Soon: GLOW (Season 3)

Cancelled Too Soon concludes with a show that was renewed for a final season that never was. What ended up being the last season of the show saw the GLOW television show transformed into the GLOW Vegas residency show.

Jerome and Kevin talk about the continued balancing act of a large cast, the uneven nature of the season, parallel age gapped relationship stories, what they believe is the best episode of the entire series, and once again give the cast their well-earned flowers. They then discuss the show’s untimely cancellation, what was to come in Season 4, and some postmortem comments from the cast and crew.

Untitled BoJack Horseman Project: Episode 5

Bojack has landed the lead role in WhatTimeIsItRightNow.Com’s prestige TV drama, Philbert, but it turns out a chaotic production and prescription pain pills aren’t good for a drug addict with an extensive history of Terrible Deeds.

Elsewhere, Diane and Mr. Peanutbutter respond to their break-up in very different ways, Princess Carolyn is desperately trying to adopt a child and keep her agency afloat, and Todd has created a delightful monstrosity.

Untitled BoJack Horseman Project: Episode 4

BoJack has a daughter?!? Ruh-roh! Unpacking some secret Horseman family history definitely won’t unleash new levels of trauma on our cast! Probably… Maybe…. Hmm….

Meanwhile Mr. Peanutbutter is running for Governor of California, Diane is struggling with her thoughts (and prayers), Princess Carolyn has some big family and career decisions to make, and Todd has some bold ideas for better business.

Untitled BoJack Horseman Project: Episode 3

All aboard the Oscar Train, because against all odds BoJack is in the running for Best Actor! We meet his ruthless publicist, Ana Spanakopita, Todd’s ex-girlfriend, Emily, Princess Carolyn’s new boyfriend, Ralph, and the enigmatic Cuddlywhiskers.

Some minor disagreement when comparing Seasons 2 and 3, but as always we select our two favourite episodes, Ben tries to remember all the plots without any notes and we take a stab at the litany of tongue-twisters.

Marvel Mondays – Loki: Season 2 Review

Even one of Marvel’s most successful projects wasn’t safe from their downward trajectory, with Loki suffering from a sophomore slump. But worse Loki is still better than most of their stuff and they definitely stuck the landing to salvage the show’s reputation.

Jerome & Kevin Present – Cancelled Too Soon: GLOW (Season 2)

Season 2 of GLOW came at an interesting time. As Jerome and Kevin discuss the season, they also discuss how the #MeToo movement happening in modern day was reflected in a show taking place in the 1980s.

They also talk about improvements from the first season and other things they wish could have been improved, a couple of new additions to the cast, what story elements could’ve been omitted, and why Jerome seems Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart in the two main characters.
