Well, here we are again – diving into yet another MCU Disney+ series; this time, dealing with the oft forgotten original Avenger, Hawkeye. I have to admit, much like with Wanda, I was never a huge Hawkeye fan – no offense to Jeremy Renner, but the bow and arrow toting superhero was never prominent enough […]
Chloé Zhao’s movies are beautiful. They feature incredible photography of natural landscapes, and ultra-naturalistic dialogue often delivered by non-actors cast off the street. Her films are deeply meditative and authentic and have the capacity to really touch audiences who are open to a different kind of movie. It made perfect sense that she swept last […]
2018’s Venom was a film that defied exception because it made $856 million even though it received poor reviews. Sony wanted to cash in on that success and on their Spider-Man property so have released the second film in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe. Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) has become a successful journalist for the Daily Bulge and has been interviewing […]
Spider-man is one of Sony’s most lucrative film properties. But the studio is at a crossroads because of the failure of The Amazing Spider-man series and needing to work with Marvel to bring the character into the MCU.

(Instead of Steve Rogers.)” The answer, as you might have expected, was that Peggy Carter would become a hero swathed in the Union Jack, kicking Nazi ass and sacrificing herself […]
Jean Henegan and Kieran Freemantle review Black Widow and Loki Season One in the podcast.
So, it was Kang the Conqueror all along! Or rather, some version of Kang who saw the devastation wrought by his own Variants and took steps to orchestrate a universe in which such chaos and destruction would be banished from existence. I was on the “There’s no way they introduce Kang on a Disney+ show!” […]
After many years of waiting Black Widow finally gets her own film. After a year’s delay Black Widow’s film was a great return for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johannson) has gone on the run after the events of Captain America: Civil War. Not only does she have to avoid the American government, […]
If last week’s installment of Loki was all about character, “The Nexus Event” was all about plot. And with only two episodes remaining in the series, having an episode dedicated to pushing the series towards its climax was much needed – and incredibly well executed. Nothing brings me greater joy as a viewer and as […]
