Wandavision Episode Seven: Breaking the Fourth Wall brings us into the 2010's a decade where most of comedy was cutaways to to the talking heads, awkward zooms, tough story lines and a decline in the family sitcom as we turned to streaming.  Modern Family broke that trend and showed us a more inclusive, more, well modern family on the screen. We discuss the episode, the impact of Modern Family and how comedy from that era aged worse than other eras.

We're back to the regular sitcom shenanigans of Wanda and Vision!  Though they are getting more serious as Vision and others start to feel that something is off in their perfect world.  In the history of the real world, sitcoms and TV got more serious in the 1980s as cable TV brought more competition, violence, and an edge to family sitcoms that the vaudeville era never had.

Hello and welcome to the third installment of A History of Sitcoms Through Wandavision, where Blake, Terrence and Jamie discuss the various decades of television used in Wandavision, what audiences wanted in those decades, how those shows pushed the medium and forward, and how it applies to our heroes.  This week is all about the 70s, The Brady Bunch and how the last show of the classic family influences Wanda and Vision in their quest for a family, normalcy and a lot of other things seemingly out of their reach.

Hello!  We are BACK after a hiatus, and we are not alone!  Jamie Jirak (comicbook.com) joins Blake and Terrence in their new miniseries, A History of Sitcoms Through Wandavision!  Each week we take a look at the newest episode of Wandavision and break it down by looking at the sitcoms that made it.  Why was TV the way it was in the 60s? How influential was The Dick Van Dyke Show?  Why are we using these themes, motifs and shows to push forward the story of Wanda and Vision in the MCU's daring, risky, brilliant and beautiful debut show on Disney+ WANDAVISION!

This week we watch Bill and Ted from the safety of our homes, and its a great story about never giving up, constant support and optimism and just what we needed this week!

Another entry in the DC animated universe, and the first in the new post Justice League Dark timeline. Superman: Man of Tomorrow launches with a great story that nails down who Superman is, and what he stands for, and introduced several great villains that show how to challenge the Man of Steel without sacrificing his character.

Originally developed for the CW Seed, and now reedited into an animated feature film. Deathstroke: Knights and Dragons is DC's next animated movie, following Slade Wilson in his quest to save his son from the Jackal. All the R-rated violence and blood cannot compensate for bad dialogue and a bland story. This was recorded during COVID19 while practicing social distancing, so apologies for any sound hiccups.

For those that missed this incredible show when it was locked behind DC Universe, you now have a chance to enjoy it on HBO Max! And Enjoy it we did! Jamie Jirak (Comicbook.com) joins Blake and Terrence to discuss adapting Harley into an adult animated cartoon, how it juggles big themes with its fantastic comedy and what we need to see in season three.

Netflix has graced us with an incredible Transformers cartoon! While it is a little more grown up than the 80s hit, Blake and Terrence love the tonal shift and shows that a property can grow up with the fans it connected to at a young age. We review the show, and discuss other properties from our childhood that we think should get a more mature glean. This was recorded while practicing social distancing during the COVID19 pandemic so we apologize for any sound hiccups.

Another week of Quarantine, another week of no new movies. Luckily old movies continue to get older, allowing for anniversaries. The X-Men celebrated its 20th anniversary, so Blake, Terrence and guest Justin Donaldson remember what was the summer of the X-men, if its actually the start of the modern super hero movie, and what should come next from the franchise.

Netflix has dropped a new film! Which in 2020 is quite the feat. The Old Guard adapted from the comic of the same name, deals with some prominent themes, and finds ways to distinguish itself from other super hero movies. However, some of the best bits of the comic do not make it to the big (or small I don't live in your house, I don't know your TV situation.) screen. Blake and Terrence discuss

In another week with theaters closed and remakes and reboots at all time low, Terrence and Blake take to Netflix to watch Eurovision, a movie that takes from other great Gary Sanchez productions and waters it down to something not great for people who don't what Eurovision is, and not great for people who do

As Blake and Terrence continue to self isolate, and the movie industry continues to not release anything, they once again discuss the movies and shows that are getting them through the pandemic. From Upload on Amazon, to Looney Tunes on HBO Max, and some classic horror and comedy. We got it all here! This was recorded while practicing social distancing during the COVID19 pandemic. We apologize for any audio hiccups.

In week 14 of COVID19 many movies are not making to theaters. Some, never deserve to be in theaters in the first place. That is the case with Artemis Fowl, the newest addition to Disney+ Blake and Terrence discuss how the movie departs from its book, why the YA genre seems to be faltering, and what they think could help it. This was recording while practicing social distancing during the COVID19 pandemic. So apologies for any sound hiccups.

Without any movies that are out, or that fit the show, Blake and Terrence discuss the movies and shows they have been watching as they social distance during the COVID19 pandemic.

Blake and Terrence, still at the whim of social distancing, digitally get together to talk about the news of Ryan Gosling joining The Wolf Man. What the reboot has to do to work, the missteps of other monster movie remakes, and how it can affect the modern world. This was recorded on week 11 of the COVID-19 pandemic, so if there are hiccups in the audio we apologize.

Greg Hahn joins Blake and Terrence as they look back to their child hood (again, because that how Hollywood keeps getting us) with Hannah-Barbera's Scoob! The fully animated comedy comes with a lot of jokes, a lot of fun references, but repeats a lot of tropes we have seen before.

In week eight of COVID19 Terrence and Blake watch the conclusion to the animated DC universe (at least for now) and how it builds its characters, and the things animation allows you to do that live action may not.

This week we should be discussing the anticipated Black Widow, but due to COVID19 and theater closures, it has been pushed. So Blake and Terrence are joined by Harley and Angela from the Fake Nerd Girls Podcast to talk about what they want from the movie, if the push will affect the box office and their new podcast. Listen and subscribe! This was recorded while practicing social distancing during the COVID19 pandemic, so we apologize for any sound hiccups due to our internet. Leave us a review and share the show!

With theaters closed we turn to Netflix, and their adaptation of a graphic novel Ciudad. Extraction starring Chris Hemsworth, and produced by the Russo Brothers, gives us a lot of cool action and even more familiar beats and character moments from all the action hits of the 70s,
