Listen "EPISODE 12: THUNDERBOLTS*"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we're suiting up for a wild ride through the MCU’s 36th (!) instalment, Thunderbolts*. Billed as Marvel’s take on Suicide Squad, this ragtag team-up of misfit heroes, half-forgotten villains, and TV spin-off leftovers surprised us with unexpected depth, genuine emotion, and yes... tears.We dive into what sets Thunderbolts* apart: a story that dares to hit the pause button on snarky quips and CGI overload to explore depression, redemption, and the power of connection – all while still packing in the superpowered showdowns. One of us even cried (editors note: both cried), and the other was just shocked Marvel still had the ability to emotionally blindside an audience.We talk Sentry, the Void, shadow selves, and hug-powered climaxes, plus Florence Pugh’s standout performance as Yelena, and whether Bucky’s still got it as MCU’s emotional anchor. Oh, and if you’ve been feeling the Marvel malaise, this might be the one to shake you out of your superhero slump.So grab your popcorn, hug your inner shadow, and join us as we unpack Thunderbolts* !
