2021 Special // Black Widow

Published: July 15, 2021, 3 p.m.

THE MCU IS BACK! Our anonymous third co-host is not though. We have called in our Superhero Correspondent, Kayle Lowdermilk once again! Sure the MCU has been back on Disney+ for the last few months, and we cover those shows in the first half. This was recorded before the season finale of Loki. After the quick thoughts on the three Disney+ movies, we finally get to reviewing 2021's first entry and the first entry in about two years into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Black Widow. The guys do some serious gushing over Scarlett Johannson, David Harbour, and Florence Pugh. Jacob wishes he did more gushing about Florence Pugh. Before we really get into our review, Jacob points out an incredible Stranger Things Easter Egg that nobody in the world is talking about. What was up with the lightning bugs and why couldn't Jacob think of the word firefly? Stay tuned to find out what each of us uses to pump ourselves up.

If you would like to skip to our review of Black Widow, go to the twelve and a half minute mark (12:30).

This movie was directed by Cate Shortland.

Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises. Pursued by a force that will stop at nothing to bring her down, Natasha must deal with her history as a spy, and the broken relationships left in her wake long before she became an Avenger.

Currently available for rent with Disney+ Premier Access but highly recommended to watch at the theater.
