Hello and welcome to Bill vs the MCU! Each month your hosts\u2060 Pop Break Podcasts Editor Alex Marcus\u2060 and\u2060 Pop Break Editor in Chief Bill Bodkin\u2060 take another step into the wider Marvel Multiverse, with reviews and interviews on the film and television series that may be drawn upon as the MCU dives deeper and deeper into its Multiverse Saga.

After rewatching the first four phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in season one and rewatching most of the first phase of Marvel\u2019s Defenders Saga in season two, Alex and Bill are back with their third season, entitled \u201cAgents in Crisis,\u201d where they will be diving into the broadcast television corner of Marvel Multiverse and reviewing select arcs from the first four seasons of Agents of SHIELD.

This month, Alex and Bill check in with the pilot episode of Agents of SHIELD before jumping to S1E16-22 aka The Fall of SHIELD arc, as Phil Coulson and his team are sent reeling following the reveal in Captain America: The Winter Soldier that SHIELD had been infested with Hydra since its inception.\xa0

To help them discuss this underrated and under-appreciated season of TV, Alex sits down with the New York Times Bestselling author of \u2060How Story Works\u2060 and SHIELD superfan Lani Diane Rich. She helps break down what sets this series apart from the ocean of genre TV shows we have been wading through since 2013 when the series debuted.\xa0

Special guest Dan Cohen, host of the Batman By The Numbers podcast, also stops by for another edition of Alex\u2019s monthly segment Miss Minutes Marvel Memo, where they try to cram in a month\u2019s of MCU headlines in five minutes!

Don\u2019t forget to come back next month when they\u2019ll be reviewing Agents of SHIELD S2E9-11; S2E16-17; & S2E20-22, aka The Rise of The Inhumans!

Agents of SHIELD S1-7 are available to stream on \u2060Disney+\u2060.
