e56. Endgame Analysis

So, if you’ve ever listened to our show, it shouldn’t be a surprise that we’re doing an episode about Avengers: Endgame. Honestly, this week, pretty much every podcast is doing an episode on Avengers: Endgame. So, if you haven’t seen it yet… honestly, it’s the most popular movie on the planet… there’s no way you haven’t seen it yet but you’re listening to this show. But if you somehow haven’t, well, there’s going to be spoilers here. Mav, Wayne and Hannah are joined by our returning guest Nicole Freim as we do a deep dive critical analysis into the film’s characters, events, cultural message and mythic structure… you know, but it’s us… so we also geek out and drink and stuff. There’s not too much we can say here without spoilers, so go see the film if you haven’t yet, then join us for some conversation and let us know what you think in the comments.
