Episode #115 – Ant-Man
This week, Perry is joined by video editor and writer Eddie Thomson of Why We Watch to discuss 2015's Ant-Man! We discuss the long road this movie took to getting made, from Edgar Wright's long involvement in the project, switching over to Adam McKay and eventually landing in the hands of Peyton Reed. We also talk about how the heist film aspect helps set this apart from the rest of the MCU and why not every movie needs to end in some world-ending threat.

Episode #113 – Spider-Man 2
You don't get to the MCU without first going through Spider-Man 2. In this episode, Derick McDuff of the Underrated podcast joins to have a look back at what is still considered one of the best superhero movies ever. We talk about what still holds up really well, like Peter Parker balancing his personal life with his web-slinging, the standout performances from Molina and Franco, and some things that don't hold up, like the treatment of Mary Jane. Also, we discuss some of the tropes this film helped cement that still appear in superhero movies to this day.

In this episode, we look at the most maligned of the MCU films, 2013's Thor: The Dark World. Valandil Mann of the Vytamin Dice podcast makes his debut on the show for a look back at what many consider the MCU's lowest point. But despite the poor story and thin characterization, we've got some things that are still worth watching, especially in light of this movie's influence on Avengers: Endgame.
