Black Widow has her own movie. Did she need it? No. Did we like it? Oh. Yeah. Part one of the MOVIE side of Phase Four begins here, and it's a look backward before we move forward.

When life catches up with podcasters, podcasters sometimes have to make adjustments – like recording about two episodes at the same time. And so Ben and Samantha are here to talk about LOKI episodes 4 and 5, leading into the SEASON (series?) finale next week! NOTE: You can get pre-release access to the raw recordings of our episodes by becoming a Patreon patron! Join here: https://www.patreon.com/welcometolevelseven

Ben and Samantha talk about Loki and Sylvie who also talk. Loki and Sylvie also walk as they talk, and fight, and reveal powers, and reveal exposition, and then fail to escape the armageddon of planet Lamentis. It's a road trip without a road, and a fun exploration of the two Loki Variants. What did you think?

The time travel shenanigans continue! And the plot thickens! There seem to be stakes . . . although we're not quite sure what they are. Oh, and Loki and Mobius sit and talk! A lot. Like, a LOT. Good thing we like them! When two guys who you'd listen to reading the phone book have scenes together sit and talk, we want to listen! What did you think?

Why did Disney call it LOKI? Why didn't they call it “everything that Ben Avery likes”? Mostly because it's easier to say Loki . . . and no one knows who Ben Avery is. But Ben, Stewart, and Samantha enjoyed the first episode in the series, and they talk about:Movies that inspired this show (including Ben's favorite movie of all time)Time travelHow does this affect Agents of SHIELD?Tom Hiddleston is awesomeOwen Wilson is also awesomeAnd post-credit . . .

The season finale — or is it the SERIES finale? — is here, and we get an action packed ending! SEE Sam Wilson take up the shield! HEAR Sam Wilson make a speech!

It's the penultimate episode of the season. The best episode of the season? We'll find out after the season finale. In the meantime, this episode gives us insight into Isaiah Bradley, the end of Zemo's story (for now), John Walker getting a discharge and the visitor, and some montages. What did you think?

If you didn't hate John Walker before, this is the episode that's supposed to push you over that edge . . . as John Walker gets pushed over an edge of his own. Also, Ben and Stewart make some predictions that probably don't come true. Probably. What did you think?

As The Falcon and the Winter Soldier continues, the MCU's favorite odd couple continues their search for the flag smashers and some twists and turns come our way . . .

The new Captain America is here! And he's not Captain America . . . Meanwhile, the odd couple of the MCU, Sam and Bucky, are on the trail of the super soldier serum, and what they find is not what they expected! The question on people's minds seems to be, though, is this series what was expected? And is that a bad thing? What did you think?

The pilot episode of a new Marvel series has dropped! The Falcon and the Winter Soldier are back! Moving from the big screen to the small screen, do they bring the “cinematic” of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with them? Is this “more of the same” or a “return to form”?

WandaVision comes to a conclusion, wrapping up all the loose plotlines and character arcs with a satisfying end. Except for the ones that were not wrapped up with a nice neat bow and were instead wrapped up with a less than completely satisfying end. But the important ones – Wanda, Vision, and Agatha – took […]

We wanted answers! We got some answers! We wanted big twists! We got some big twists! We wanted origin stories! We got some origin stories! We can't say things are getting good because they always were good, but we can say things are moving toward an ending. And ending with Agatha, with Hayward, and with […]

For this episode of the podcast, we're going to break the fourth wall and talk directly to the listeners! Which means we're not changing anything because we already do that . . . So much stuff happens in this episode! Stuff, stuff, and then more stuff! Mostly stuff that proves Ben basically wrong about almost everything.

And now for something completely different! From an opening that lets us nail down when this series is happening to startling declaration at the end of the episode, this episode of WandaVision reminds us what we're watching: it's not just a TV show, it's a TV show that's actually pushing forward the narrative of the MCU. Also, this episode is about podcasting as the characters theorize about what's going on and watch their favorite show and get invested. What did you think?

Wandavision continues! Moving forward into the late 60s and early 70s, we get a full nine months of pregnancy in less than a day (and less than 30 minutes)! And we get some glimpses at what's going on. Enough so that Ben makes some bold (probably WRONG but bold nonetheless) declarations. Post credit, we talk about Geraldine and who that character might be, based on spoilers that had been revealed in the announcements of the show. What did you think?

The MCU's Phase 4 begins HERE! With a quirky black and white sitcom??? Ben, Samantha, and Stewart are here to talk about the first two episodes, with discussion items that include: Old sitcoms that inspired the seriesThe moment that Ben almost criedSpeculation on what the heck is going onAnd a post credit discussing Star Trek Discovery season 3 It's new, it's different, it's odd, and we love it!

“Previously on the MCU” was never actually said, BUT that's what this “docuseries” is, and it's actually a very well done presentation of Wanda and Vision's arcs in the Marvel Cinematic movies. In this episode, we also cover some of our expectations and feelings about the upcoming Disney+ series!
