Cue the Kenny Loggins!
Jake + Mitch dive into the first few episodes of UMBRELLA ACADEMY s3. With The Sparrow squad hitting at full-force in yet another multiverse-type situation the Hargreeves find themselves facing more epic moments.
So what are the biggest takeaways so far?:
- Sparrows vs Umbrellas: Who wins?
- Are we headed for multiverse fatigue?
- Is Luther a Scott Summers avatar?
With "we mind be responsible for the end of the world" type stuff looming, surely the original Hargreeves crew will find a way to save the world... again. Either way, UA remains incredibly fun.
Here’s hoping the rest of the season hits the right notes.

Kicking-Off, 'Ms. Marvel'
And so Disney+ keeps the hits rolling along.
Jake + Mitch break down the all the vibrant fun to be had in the early goings of MCU's latest TV installment, 'Ms. Marvel'. Because this show, at least one episode deep, feels like it's going to be a game-changer.
Along the way the guys ask:
- What do Kamala Kahn and Peter Parker have in common?
- Is 'Ms. Marvel' more akin to 'WandaVision' or 'FATWS'?
- Is the immersive tone replicable?
Ultimately, the MCU seems to be on a roll with the high-quality TV titles. We'll see how the rest of the season sticks the landing after a strong start.

Re-Visiting, 'Doctor Strange' (2016)
Before we multiverse, we must re-visit the origin.
Jake + Mitch trek back to 2016 and dive back into one of the more start-studded MCU installments, 'Doctor Strange'. Because the familiar as the character has become it still feels like this movie still flies a little under the radar.
Along the way the guys ask big questions:
- Can a move be good and "mid" at the same time?
- What if Rachel McAdams was The Wasp?
- Top 5 comic book movie ending of all-time?
Through epic set pieces and impeccable effects, 'Doctor Strange' delivers on the entertainment factor. But somehow, it still lacks gusto.
