Our affinity for the Infinity War should be obvious at this point as this episode marks the 5th in our review of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Check out MCU 1 through 4, where we cover Iron Man through Ant Man, MCU films 1 through 12. In this episode no. 5, we review the action spectacular that is Captain America: Civil War, the visual spectacular that is Doctor Strange, and the comic spectacular that is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Yes, there were a lot of spectaculars, and yes, I really enjoy that word. Do stay tuned for our 6th episode of the series, which we’ll release later this week covering Spider-Man: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnarok, and Black Panther. For a fuller review of Black Panther, also check out episodes 42 & 43. We’ll update you on the news surrounding this year’s biggest blockbuster and first Oscar contender as well as fully bridge the gap to The Infinity War. Civil War was a magnificent achievement and somehow accomplished by a pair of comedy nerds. But enough about our review, the Russo brothers are also pretty talented. We gush about Marvel’s magic touch, compare it to those jabronies over at DC, and then we gush all the more. We kinda liked this one. Doctor Strange earns a more balanced and mixed review. But there are plenty of moments to relish and visual effects to admire. It’s one of the stronger origin stories to be sure, and we try to give it credit where it’s due. As for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, we’re often reduced to a Chris Farley Show from SNL like simplicity. “You remember when….you remember that?...that was awesome.” But we also have some quibbles with this movie too because we can’t silence our inner movie critic, which if we were schizophrenic, may have completely taken us both over at this stage in our podcasting lives. Regardless, we hope it’s a fun listen. It’s the Oscar off-season, and we’re having an absolute blast covering some different topics. Check out our Netflix Quarterly episode (61) where we reviewed over 37 new titles from the streaming giant. We invented a movie game called SeeBuySkip in ep. 59 and reviewed the movie event that was A Quiet Place (62). We also did a mock award show for all of the Basketball Movies ever made in a two part mini-series (54 & 55). But our Oscars clock keeps ticking. We previewed next year’s show with an episode (53), gave you a history lesson on the winningest films (60), and we’ll have not one but two quick hitters on Best Original Song categories from 1997 and 2013 to be released over the next two weeks. So stay tuned. Feel free to contact us on social media. We’re on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, and Gmail. Please help us spread the word about our show where & when you can, and of course, we thank you for listening. When reality sucks, watch movies with us. We’re Mike, Mike, and Oscar!
