Well it's been a long time since we've had to do a "You Know What Really Grinds My Gears?" episode, but this one has been brewing for a few weeks behind the scenes. It started with the announcement that Mando was not coming back for a 4th season and instead was being made into a movie. Then out of nowhere Disney dropped the announcement that we wer…

Well it has been a few weeks, but I hope the idea I had for this episode turns out to be worth the wait for you.

This is a SPOILER HEAVY review for Loki Season 2. I have been so excited to talk about this Disney+ show on the podcast because in my opinion it was far and away the BEST MCU project we have see brought to the streaming site so far.

Right off the bat, I apologize for the audio quality for my portion of the interview with my daughter Sydney.

Yes you read that right. On this episode today, I talk about an opinion I have had brewing in my secret podcasting bat cave for literally MONTHS at this point.

Episode 56 was supposed to be a review of the new Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse movie, but once again Disney decided to make a special announcement about a big change coming to Genie+ and got the hot take machine all fired up. This new announcement left me once again feeling angry and ready to rant and rave all about here on the podcast. For …

I tried to hold off as long as I could, but once Disney made their announcement last week I knew it was the right time to bring back the next installment in the "You Know What Really Grinds My Gears" series. I cover all 5 topics from the announcements made by Disney this week, but the majority of the focus of my anger is directed at Genie+. (Shocke…

Last week was just the tease, it was the spoiler free review, but we are back this week with the full length episode to go SPOILER HEAVY to review and breakdown all things Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
