Not too long ago, Avengers: Endgame (2019) released in theatres, and showcased how large the roster of heroes has grown to become. But who was the one who ACTUALLY started it all? Who was the First Avenger? There are many ways to look at it - and this episode will address precisely that. Hint: it may not be Captain America...
10| Who DIDN'T join the final battle of Avengers: Endgame?
August 31, 2019 17:00 - 37 minutes - 25.7 MBAvengers... assemble. That applause-attracting line was only one of the aspects that made the final battle of Avengers: Endgame one of the most iconic and epic battle scenes in film history. For one, it was amazing how EVERYONE joined in to fight the forces of Thanos alongside the Avengers and Guardians... or so we thought. Could there be some others who could have came through those portals and fought in the battle for the entire universe? There may be more than you might expect, as we look...
9| Is Mysterio the best MCU villain?
August 22, 2019 18:00 - 32 minutes - 22.3 MBQuentin Beck aka Mysterio's debut in Spider-Man: Far From Home stole the show and Jake Gyllenhaal's performance as the master of trickery and illusions was praised by fans and critics alike.

8| Why was Thanos stronger in Endgame than Infinity War?
August 21, 2019 19:00 - 25 minutes - 17.3 MBNearly chopping Thor in half, breaking Cap's vibranium shield and raining fire on his own troops are only some of the vicious acts by 2014 Thanos when he travels to 2023 New York to wreak havoc on the Avengers. In stark contrast, the version of Thanos from Infinity War in the main timeline was less harsh and instead more calm and collected. But what exactly caused this difference in character in one of the most iconic onscreen villains of all time?

Looks like that little prank from years ago became reality. Whether we liked the news or disliked it (most of us disliked it), there is one thing all of us can agree on - this new deal between Sony and Disney will result in drastic changes to Peter Parker's storyline and character arc in future appearances. Who exactly is...
6| Lion King 2019 - Faithful Remake or Pure Cash Grab?
July 28, 2019 17:00 - 40 minutes - 28 MBWelcome back to the Casual Film Fan podcast. In this episode, we step away from the booming world of the MCU and go back to one of our all-time childhood favourites - The Lion King! The 2019 version was released last week and is already shattering box office records worldwide.
