Part two of the Gents’s delve into the rich vein of confused nerd-rage/delight that is Avengers: Infinity War. How can a movie so good make eight-year-old me so mad? All this, plus Mark will go ahead and spoil 2019’s Avengers: Everybody was Skrulls.
In this episode, the Gents all share favorite hidden references and call-outs in various media
Fun Fact: Some people hide boiled eggs and egg-shaped treats in their homes, yards, and public parks. This is believed by many to be the origin of the term “Easter Eggs.” That, or some cockamamie story about Rocky Horror Picture Show. Either way.
The Gents discuss the best new-to-us media from 2017, no matter what year it came out. Not like certain award shows we could name, with their elitist, “no old stuff” attitude.
The Gents pay a visit to Wakanda to discuss the recent MCU outing, Black Panther. Unfortunately, the airline sent Joseph to Wisconsin instead of Wakanda (along with all of the luggage), so a jet-lagged Ben steps in.
The Gentlemen Nerds discuss favorite black characters in all media with DoubleToasted’s own Martin Thomas, in honor of the beginning of Black History Month. Emotional Touchstone not included.
Fun Fact: Falcon was in South America because his plane crashed on Exile Island, on the way to Rio de Janiero. Don’t let Mark forget it.
The EPIC discussion of the new Thor movie continues, only this time with a few quibbles. Sif not included.
The Gents wax poetic about the new Thor film, going through the film (mostly) chronologically. They’re so enthusiastic about the film, it spills over to the next episode! Jane & Darcy not included.
The Freaky Four crack open what it means to “be Lovecraftian” with a history lesson, discussion of tone, and movie recs.
The Gents delve into all things Planet of the Apes, from the films to the book to the shows to the toys. Astronauts included.
Mark, Aaron and Joseph explore the new Dark Universe, past inspirations to alternate approaches. Mickey is sent to gather…materials. Mole People not included.
