Summary: Greetings, True Believers! You will be astonished to realize that we were not kidding: this episode is all about Marvel. Cassandra actually manages to recommend the movie Ex Machina but everything else is about superheroes from the house of M. For Marvel. Not Magneto. Or, you know, Mickey (Mouse). Well, Marvel is actually part of Disney now but I digress. Besides discussing the details of the movie Avengers: Age of Ultron, we also talk about the new Secret Wars comic book series/event, what we think that Marvel comics are gonna be like post-Secret Wars, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl (the comic book), The Avengers (the first film), our controversial opinions on Loki and Black Widow, why comic books are just like soap operas, the comic book origins of the new characters from the movie (Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Ultron, Vision), Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Carter, Joss Whedon’s thirst for blood, the upcoming Ant-Man movie, how the Marvel Cinematic Universe should deal with the burden of continuity and having too many characters, the Infinity Gems/Stones, Marvel’s long plan with the Cinematic Universe, comic books inside the reality of the Marvel Universe(s), Spider-Man, and which movies we think Marvel is probably gonna make in Phase 4.
