MCUTV: Hawkeye: The Series
January 04, 2022 13:00 - 59 minutes - 54 MBStarting 2022 right by talking about Marvel's last property of 2021: Hawkeye! It was quite the ride with a lot of new (and old) faces. There is much to discuss about Clint Barton and what the show was able to give in it's short 2 week run. The EW article with Vincent D'Onofrio coming back as Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin.

The Spider Run: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Andrew Garfield)
December 15, 2021 03:18 - 56 minutes - 51.3 MBWas Amazing Spider-Man 2 good? No. Did it have good villains? Also no. Would we watch it again? ... Probably also no. Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone truly kill it as Peter and Gwen in this one but its just about the only good thing we can say about the movie... There's so much happening and the script definitely needed some work, but above all else, poor Jamie Foxx, the dude could not catch a break in this movie. We can't wait to see him reprise his roll next week. Follow the podcast on T...
The Spider Run: The Amazing Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield)
December 08, 2021 18:00 - 56 minutes - 51.7 MBWe're onto our next Spidey: Andrew Garfield! He's charming, he's angsty, he's the amazing Spider-Man. We loved the fresh new take the Garfield series took on Peter, and Gwen, and what it's like to be a teen hero in 2012.

The Spider Run: Spider-Man 3 (Tobey Maguire)
November 30, 2021 13:00 - 57 minutes - 52.6 MBSpoilers: This is the worst Spider-Man movie. Peter is unbearable, there are too many villains, MJ is an object. The bad just keeps piling on.

The Spider Run: Spider-Man 2 (Tobey Maguire)
November 23, 2021 13:00 - 58 minutes - 53.5 MBThe Spider Run continues with what is widely known as a cinematic masterpiece, Spider-Man 2. The 2004 film brings us back to the characters we love and sets the blueprint for superhero movies to come: Who am I? and What am I fighting for? This time Alfred Molina is our Doc Oc, played to perfection of course. It's the perfect movie with one of the most dynamic and heartwarming fight scenes of any movie, it really is the blueprint.

The Spider Run: Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire)
November 17, 2021 05:00 - 57 minutes - 52.5 MBAs we gear up for what is no doubt going to be an insane third SpiderMan movie from Tom Holland Sabrina and Lily have decided to do a SpiderRun! We will be watching Tobey and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man movies in preparation for the multiverse nonsense that is coming our way. Today we start with the OG. The BLUEPRINT. Sam Raimi's Spider-Man (2002) starring Tobey Maguire. This is basically a perfect movie. Mostly aging like a fine wine with only a few minor things that we truly hated. Have ...
MCU Phase 4: The Eternals
November 09, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 59.8 MBHow to even begin describing this movie? It's epic, and beautiful, and out of this world. It represents a whole spectrum of people as superheroes in the MCU. It's also...all over the place, full of exposition, and doesn't space things out very well. You just have to see it, that's all we can say. The Eternals promised so much, maybe too much. And while it delivered on visuals, it was definitely overly ambitious, and some of the characters lacked for it. But it's still a good movie! It's ha...
Trailer Spec: Eternals (2021)
October 19, 2021 17:00 - 40 minutes - 36.9 MBIt's time to get into a whole new aspect of the MCU: let's meet the Eternals. The movie's not even out yet and we're so excited. People who watch it will have someone, one hero, who represents them. The cast is stacked, the director won an Oscar, and it's got Lauren Ridloff and Gemma Chan. What more do you want from a movie?! Eternals hits theaters November 5, 2021. Follow the podcast on Twitter @EMFangirls, send us emails to [email protected], and our website is earthsmightiestfangirls....
MCUTV: What If? Episodes 7-9
October 12, 2021 12:00 - 39 minutes - 36 MBThis is it... finally, the end of What if...? This has been a pretty boring journey so here we are discussing why this show was pretty meh.

Ghost Rider (2007)
October 04, 2021 12:00 - 43 minutes - 39.4 MBLook into my eyes...it's Ghost Rider time. Start off spooky season with one of the most forgettable and campy superhero movies from Marvel; unless you agree with Lily and this is High Cinema. It's the first movie they hard-core disagree on, so choose your camp: Team It's Forgettable and Meh vs Team It's Bad Stupid But Has a Heart. The thing people don’t get about Ghost Rider is that yes: it’s wildly bad. Yes: it’s terrible. And yes: it’s difficult to understand the point and the actors are ...
Trailer Spec: Hawkeye
September 29, 2021 02:00 - 36 minutes - 33.1 MBMuch like his partner, this Hawkeye show feels like its coming too little too late. The trailer dropped recently and we decided to talk about it. We're not super excited, but there are definitely things to look forward to. We also may have gotten a little off topic in this one and discussed some Shang-Chi and why its INSANE that Shang-Chi is TWENTY FOUR YEARS OLD. Still not over it.

MCUTV: What If Episodes 4-6
September 21, 2021 12:00 - 40 minutes - 37.4 MBWhat If... these episodes were the worst ones yet? From what felt like C- fan-fic, the latest batch of What If episodes just feel lackluster and totally off the mark. From zombies, to a Dr. Strange no one cares about, and then finally a frankly insulting take on Tony and Kilmonger's origin stories. We'll pass on these, and recommend you do too. Follow the podcast on Twitter @EMFangirls, send us emails to [email protected], and our website is earthsmightiestfangirls.com. We're on Apple Po...
Trailer Spec: Spider-Man: No Way Home
September 14, 2021 12:00 - 41 minutes - 37.8 MBNo Way Home is coming soon, so we decided to talk about the theories, the multiverse, and speculate about what to expect from this movie. There is a lot of hype around this movie, but not a lot of excitement. It's Spider-Man yay! But also, is it really Spider-Man if Peter isn't allowed to be New York's hero?

Phase 4: Shang Chi & the Legend of the Ten Rings
September 07, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 68.6 MBIt's been a long time coming and it's finally here: Simu Liu--I mean Shang Chi. It's a good movie! Go see it! It's got action, heart, and a dragon! For all of our feelings about Simu Liu and Awkwafina, Shang Chi definitely still delivered and deserves its praise as a really good movie. Come for the best fight choreography in the MCU, stay for Tony Leung. For the Inverse.com articles on the history of Shang Chi: https://www.inverse.com/shang-chi.

MCUTV: What If? Episodes 1-3
September 01, 2021 12:00 - 46 minutes - 42.6 MBWe're coming at you this week a little late but with some interesting thoughts about Marvel's newest Disney+ show, What If? The show has been posing some very interesting questions and is supposed to lead up to something bigger in the MCU but we're not there yet. Come and listen to us discuss the first 3 episodes and what we think about the animation style.

Scarlett Johansson sues Disney
August 18, 2021 00:00 - 38 minutes - 35.6 MBFor the first time...ever...we're team ScarJo on this one?! Anything to humble the house of Mouse. We're ducking back in for a quick second to briefly talk about the breaking news around Scarlett Johansson suing Disney over loss of streaming revenue. It's a major case that could change how companies and consumers think of streaming--if she wins. And, actually, we want her to win. Good luck Scarlett!

MCUTV: Loki Episodes 4-6
July 20, 2021 12:00 - 58 minutes - 53.3 MBLoki was definitely a rollercoaster ride. There were ups and downs and here we are. We have some pretty strong opinions about this one so buckle up.

Phase 3: Black Widow
July 13, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 60.4 MBIt's been a year since our last MCU movie and this one is about five years overdue: let's watch the first stand-alone Black Widow movie! We actually really liked it, it was a good movie, added a lot to Natasha's backstory, and Florence Pugh can do no wrong. A few less explosions and some more spying and this would have been the perfect movie.

Ok No: Where Are All of the Leading Women??
July 06, 2021 12:00 - 44 minutes - 40.9 MBIn a few days, Black Widow is about to get her first stand-alone movie. Which brings the total of women-led MCU movies to...two. It's 2021, what's the deal Marvel? Sure there are a lot of awesome women in the MCU, but so far only two of them have gotten their own movies. It's been almost 20 years of cinematic history, and that's the best we got?! We talk about why we're so disappointed with Marvel's track record, our sadness in how Black Widow never got her due, and the different receptions...
MCUTV: Loki Episodes 1-3
June 30, 2021 03:05 - 57 minutes - 53 MBThis week we're recapping Loki episodes 1-3. There's a lot to discuss when it comes to this specific trickster. The show is definitely taking us for a very.... confusing ride. And honestly what better way to end Pride Month than with the MCU's very first CANONICALLY QUEER LEAD CHARACTER. Join us as we figure out what's happening in Loki's head, if any of us can ever really know what the trickster is up to.

When Your Fave Disappoints: J.K. Rowling
June 22, 2021 12:00 - 51 minutes - 47.6 MBWhen talking about people who have disappointed us greatly in the past how do we not start with the biggest disappointment of all: J.K. Rowling. The woman who taught many of us to be loving and accepting and stand up to bigotry and tyranny turned around and is a bigot and a transphobe herself. In this episode we talk a lot about what Harry Potter meant to us and the slow and steady decent that J.K. Terfling had into infamy. Once beloved now hated, the woman knows how to stay in the spotligh...
Anyways: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Part 2
June 15, 2021 12:00 - 51 minutes - 47.6 MBWe're back! With another return to a long-running series, this time catching up with Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, part 2. This part definitely had some gut-wrenching moments, but overall...just building on more plot. We also discuss throw-away misogyny, militarism, and how Eny is clearly nonbinary. And also, has anime always over-explained every thought process? Lily's never noticed... Follow the podcast on Twitter @EMFangirls, send us emails to [email protected], and our website is...
Legend of Korra: Book 2: Spirits
May 11, 2021 12:00 - 57 minutes - 52.5 MBIt's been a while, but we're back to talking about one of our personal favorites: Legend of Korra Book 2!

MCUTV: Falcon and the Winter Soldier Ep 5 & 6
May 04, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 60.7 MBOne whole hour dedicated to the finale of Falcon and the Winter Soldier because there's a lot to discuss here. And it's still not enough time to fully appreciate the themes and quality of this show. The series ended with an impassioned speech from Sam, fully earning the title of Captain America, and of course, conversations about race. Another shout-out to @straw_hat_goofy on TikTok!

MCUTV: Falcon and the Winter Soldier Ep 1-4
April 27, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 55.1 MBOk we tried to make this episode about episodes 1-5 and we couldn't quite give the 5th episode justice. So that will be next week with the finale! But here is Falcon and the Winter Soldier! This show goes into deep and important themes of race, white privilege, and what it means to be Captain America. We delve into these topics AND talk about how much we hate John Walker. Make sure to check out @straw_hat_goofy and @nicquemarina on TikTok! (And Sabrina @somefangirl) Follow the podcast on T...
Logan (2017)
April 06, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 55.4 MBToday's a little sad, it's time to say good-bye. We talk about "Logan" the comic book film in all its (gory) glory. But really, where's the Oscar? The classic lone-wolf story gets its fitting end. We start in a not-so-distant future where new mutants aren't being born, Professor X is in bad shape, and Logan--is dying. But they end up with one last mission, to deliver a girl to safety. It's not easy, she's violent, and angry, and hard to talk to, and...seems familiar? All we can say is, ther...
X-Men: Apocalypse
March 30, 2021 12:00 - 57 minutes - 52.7 MBThis movie is apocalyptically bad. We're talking about X-Men: Apocalypse and if this isn't the longest damn movie we have had to sit through for this entire podcast. For the most part this is an okay movie with great little moments. We clearly have some things to say about this one. Follow the podcast on Twitter @EMFangirls, send us emails to [email protected], and our website is earthsmightiestfangirls.com.

X-Men: Days of Future Past

We're in the middle of a genocidal war, but it's nothing a little time travel can't fix. This movie pulls on our heartstrings as we see the crew fight for their lives across time and space to alter a bleak future. It's X-Men are on their A-game, so .we're not too worried Plus, we meet Quick Silver! Follow the podcast on Twitter @EMFangirls, send us emails to [email protected], and our website is earthsmig...
MCUTV: WandaVision Episodes 6-9
March 09, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 61 MBThis is it! The ending of WandaVision! It's been an intense few weeks and we need to decompress and figure out what just happened! Sabrina sings another theme song this week and the theories continue. WandaVision probably left us with more questions than answers, but we are definitely excited for the future.

X-Men: First Class
March 02, 2021 13:00 - 54 minutes - 50.2 MBIt's time to talk about "X-Men: First Class"... Perfection. We meet the original team of X-men and get some of the best back stories superhero stories are made of. And yes, we're still mad about Darwin. But we do love to see Magneto kill some Nazis.

F*ck Joss Whedon Basically
February 23, 2021 13:00 - 49 minutes - 45.5 MBIt's that time of year again! People are having their annual, "Oh wow Joss Whedon is a bad person!" revelation! Joss Whedon has helmed some of our favorite movies and TV shows, starting with Buffy the Vampire Slayer all the way to The Avengers. However, he has a history of allegedly being abusive, sexist, and all around terrible on set with his actors. This week we discuss what he's been accused of and how we feel about Joss Whedon properties in light of all of these accusations. We stand ...

Ok NO: Sherlock (BBC)
October 13, 2020 12:00 - 57 minutes - 52.8 MBThe game's a foot, and it's not good my dear Watson. We harken back to the days of BBC's "Sherlock" and where it all went wrong. From mocking the fandom in season 3 to bad writing in throughout to the final bonkers, off-the-wall mess of season 4. None of it looks good for the British detective.

It's 2020 Stop Queerbaiting Us!
October 06, 2020 12:00 - 52 minutes - 47.8 MBWe promise this is the last serious one for a while. This week we're talking about a very important issue in media: queerbaiting. It sucks and we wish networks would stop doing it! This is when a piece of media dangles a queer relationship that they have no intention of ever letting become cannon. Occasionally this will include outright mocking of the fans who ship these relationships. We primarily discuss Johnlock from BBC Sherlock and Supercorp from Supergirl and mention others like Ster...
Don't Ship Real People
September 29, 2020 12:00 - 44 minutes - 40.8 MBMore food for your fangirl thoughts this week, this time it's all about the ships. Who doesn't love a good ship? We get it, but there's a line for all you out there: real people. Celebrities have talked about how ships make them feel, and it's not great. From fan fic to fan art, even if you think you're shouting into the void, it creates a fictionalization of a real person's life. We love our faves, but they're real people too with their own lives. Louis Tomlinson talking about the "Larry"...
Straight Gaze
September 22, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 57.5 MBThis week we're discussing a kind of unspoken part of fandom. We all know its there, but don't really talk about it often: Slash ships that are written by straight women, for straight women. Why is slash dominated by straight women? What's going on? Where's the line between ship and obsession? Appropriation or appreciation? We discuss this part of fandom and our experiences with it and how we navigate these spaces in our own fandoms. Theres much to say and it's honestly a weird phenomenon w...
Ok No: Gatekeeping in the MCU & fandom
September 15, 2020 12:00 - 52 minutes - 48.1 MBGatekeeping: telling people they're not real fans, that they don't know enough, that they can't enjoy what they enjoy. It's annoying and most importantly: it doesn't matter. Liking a thing doesn't make you special, just like and share the thing! MCU gatekeeping usually involves the comics vs. the MCU, how many movies you've seen, or even little details like seeing movies the exact minute it comes out. All of it is nonsense because nothing can change how you enjoy media. Further re...
