Special: Tales To Astonish

With the first season of The Great American Pop Culture Quiz Show complete, we celebrate with our first of many theme matches to come — Marvel Comics and the Marvel Cinematic Universe! Join us as Ben, Darren and Tim test their knowledge of all things Marvel including a Marvel Cinematic Universe invasion of the rest of pop culture and a trip through some of Marvel’s weirdest storylines. We’ve got werewolves and time travel shenanigans aplenty for you to enjoy! NOTES ⚠️ Inline notes below may be truncated due to podcast feed character limits. Full notes are always on the episode page. 👊 Remember Iron Fist? No, really. Think about it. Do you actually remember it? 👀 Uatu The Watcher is watching us from a distance 🎷 Since Marvel's acquisition of the Ultraverse line of comics, "Nightman" is technically a Marvel show. 👛 What's in the pouches? Only Rob Liefeld knows for sure. 🐺 The 90s "Capwolf" storyline is good, actually 🛣 We managed to work in two references to The Crossing, maybe the most reviled Avengers storyline of the past 30 years... 🍼 ...and one reference to the very icky Avengers #200, which is the most revolved Avengers storyline of the 30 years before that. 🌎 The "Ego the Loving Planet" story, in which Ego is a pick-up artist trying to get with Earth, only to be put off when he sees that she's just covered in yucky people, is wonderfully silly. 🧠 Remember: standing offer from Darren to learn math.
