For the holiday season, we decided to revisit a character that's sure to bring the joy: Ms. Marvel, Kamala Khan!

WARNING: this is an angry episode and may not be for everyone. Seriously, I think I can only recommend it for folks that like to listen to their parents fight. In this episode, we talk a little about Apocalypse, the first mutant, but mostly we fight. Seriously, this is a contentious episode- we spend more time arguing than discussing the character, so, yeah, this might not be a fun experience for everyone...

He's one of the Marvel universe's most important characters (and one of our most requested). Finally, we present the master of magnetism and would-be savior of homo superior, Magneto!

Over the course of the show, we've mentioned many times how games have influenced us. On this episode, we delve deep into our experiences with Marvel video games, board games, and role playing games. 

The Odinson is not the only one to wield Mjolnir and take the name "Thor"- this week, we proudly present the story of Jane Foster! From her comic origins as Dr. Blake's nurse through her recent turn as the god of thunder, we think you'll enjoy this epic tale!

We've talked a bit about Thor in the past, but now we've finally got an episode dedicated to the god of thunder! Well, sort of... we also spend a good deal of time talking about the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 

Hey, Marvelers, we're going to the circus! The Circus of Crime, that is! Join us as we stroll through a magical land of villainy, half-baked schemes, and- oh, no, no, no...
