We are back with our VERY SPECIAL MILESTONE TENTH EPISODE! Aside from just hitting that number, it’s also special in that this is not about a movie nor a television series, but a selection of the MARVEL ONE-SHOTS! For those not in the know, these were short films included as home video bonus features to flesh out some of the gaps in the MCU continuity that wouldn’t fit into another media format.
We’ve got The Consultant, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Thor’s Hammer, Item 47, Agent Carter (not to be confused with her later series which this was clearly a test run for), and All Hail The King. We’ll see a whole bunch of agents throughout the majority of it, between Carter and her strong female empowerment, plenty of Coulson and Sitwell and their antics, as well as a few others. Of course, it’s not complete without an out-of-work actor/former villain fakeout. Plus, there are fun cameos and even a few of Marvel’s trademark post-credit scenes!
We explore questions such as “Who was the consultant, again?”, “Just how good of a patsy IS Sitwell?”, “What’s Sondheim got to do with this?”, “How could the robbers be so dumb?”, “Should Tavie check out Billy Madison?”, “Who or what is Zodiac?”, “Exactly when were bikinis invented?”, “Should you really ever trust the AI overview?” (Spoiler Alert: NO), “Where do we know these actors from?” “What’s all this Mike Post stuff about?”, “What major 1980’s franchises for boys did Zach not get into as a kid?”, and plenty of others.
Of course, with these not being the traditional TV or film productions, we have neither our usual SPOT THE STAN nor MARVEL TRIVIA segments. However, we make up for it with not one, two, three, or even four, but FIVE INDIVIDUAL PENNY’S CORNERS! Yes, our go-to girl was able to pick up on some fun little tidbits for each and every one, regardless of their (quite varying) run-times. All this, a song from The Cars, and so much more!
