Mike and Jay
Rewatching the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Listen in! We explore the movies and TV shows with Jay who knows his comics inside and out and Mike who has a never-ending stream of questions. We also occasionally dabble in superheroes from other universes, like Batman.
Join us as we dive into Spider-Man Brand New Day! We discuss our initial reactions and why this feels like the same MCU Spidey, but better. We also explore the theme of the lonely hero, his evolving relationship with the police, and what the future holds for Ned and MJ. Plus, we speculate on introducing the X-Men. The Punisher and the Hulk get thrown into the mix. And Jay answers Mike’s questions.
Frank Castle has a mental breakdown. Little Italy is a violent Fox News fever dream. Ma Gnucci puts a bounty on the head of The Punisher. Everyone was gun-fu fighting! Frank Castle finds his way and suits up as The Punisher. Listen to what we have to say about all of this! Follow. Subscribe. Rate. Review. Thumbs up. Give us all the Stars! What’s up next?

We broke down Daredevil Born Again Season 2 Episodes 2 & 3 — "Shoot the Moon" and "The Scales & the Sword." AVTF uses a sonic weapon to exploit Daredevil's senses. Karen Page kills a guard and is heading down a dark path. The Swordsman / Tony Dalton gets a rigged tribunal with no jury trial under Fisk's Safer Streets Initiative. White Tiger debuts. Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio still delivering — but the writing and fight choreography aren't back to Netflix Daredevil level. Both episodes land at a C+. Follow. Subscribe. Rate. Review.

We broke down Daredevil Born Again season 2 episode 1 "The Northern Star" — the Netflix-era grit is back. Charlie Cox's costume finally looks like Daredevil with the DD on the chest. Karen Page / Deborah Ann Woll is back, Heather Glenn is out. Matthew Lillard's Mr. Charles is stealing every scene. Bullseye returns, taking out Kingpin's agents. We get into the weapons smuggling conspiracy, the AVTF as political allegory, Heather Glenn's Muse trauma arc, Tony Dalton as Swordsman, and whether Vincent D'Onofrio is finally tamping down the Kingpin overacting.

What is this? A new Super Sideshow Podcast? You bet your booty. We have a brand new trailer for Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts. Plus, information about the Ironheart show we didn't even know we were getting and What if Season 3! We back, baby! Captain America: Brave New World https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pHDWnXmK7Y -We see Isaiah Bradley, the 1950s Captain America and the first Black Super Soldier. He was how the bad guys got the super soldier serum in Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Remember him? Well, he's up to some bad stuff... https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Isaiah_Bradley_(Earth-616) Thunderbolt Ross is now the President, played by Harrison Ford. He's attacked by Isaiah. https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Thaddeus_Ross_(Earth-616)#Secretly_Becoming_the_Red_Hulk There is a massive fight in the middle of the ocean. And, if you look carefully, you can see the hand of the dead Eternal from, well, the Eternals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_(film) Lots of Cap fighting, both in his suit and without. Fun stuff. Clear images of Giancarlo Esposito as the Sindwinder, leader of the Serpent Society. https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Serpent_Society_(Earth-616) Thunderbolts* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IiAm7KUuoY You guys can google these on your own, but we have the White Widow, Red Guardian, USAgent, Ghost, the Winter Soldier and Taskmaster. Along with, I think, Sentry. Lots of pretty cool superheroes here. The Thunderbolts was originally real, real, different. I'm curious what we see with this team, and if Baron Zemo will be involved. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbolts_(comics) I'm thinking all this is taking place in New York City, at the Stark Tower, or whatever it was from the first Avengers Movie. Ironheart Ugh, yeah, there is going to be an Ironheart Disney plus show? Comes out June 24th. https://www.superherohype.com/news/587304-ironheart-daredevil-born-again-trailer-disney-2025-series What If...? Oh, and we get the final What If...?
