Relevant to Our Interests

Here's our second episode and here are the show notes:

Episode 2: Avengers Age of Ultron and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Hosts: Frank Shaw and John Belliston

We discuss and speculate about a lot of things in this episode. Primarily about the MCU (though we do touch on a few other things that will likely pop up in episodes later on). Do you agree with us? Do you disagree with us? Do you just want to comment?

(The audio issue hasn't been fixed. It plays great on headphones it seems, but on speakers it still suffers from a low volume. I'm still looking into this and experimenting with possible solutions so bear with us.)

Here's some supplemental reading (and listening, and viewing) for the show:
Joss Whedon's fight with Marvel: Vanity Fair Article.
This article gives the bare details, but reports about it from a podcast interview that I'll link to after I have listened to it myself.

Another interview with Joss Whedon from Buzzfeed detailing his thoughts on the Solo Marvel films lacking a strong female character. A spoiler to some of our conversation for the next episode as we are going to be talking about gender roles in the cinema (specifically action movies).

Here's the cast list for Captain America: Civil War

Mark Ruffalow talking about his future as Hulk and Hulk movies. He seems to be potentially contradicted by this article. And if you're not tired of reading about it, here's another one.

Everything I've read on Thor: Ragnarok seems to be focusing on the more mythological aspects (which I'm very ok with). Here's the Wikipedia article on the character Ragnarok, which I think would be cool to see.

Here's some new news about Dr. Strange: Tilda Swinton may be in it? Maybe he'll turn up in Netflix's Iron Fist?

Also, Spiderman apparently has NOT been cast yet.

And finally, for those that have the time and want to listen to Kevin Smith chat with Joe Quesada for a couple hours, here's the link to the Fatman on Batman podcast episode where he does just that, talking about Daredevil.

That's really it at the moment. I'm going to start posting on the blog twice a week. Mostly news about the podcast or if we're doing something a little more in depth (like the next episode) and requires a little more knowledge of something other than geek stuff we'll occasionally be posting articles we're using in our research that the listeners may find of interest.

Shoot us any suggestions, ideas or criticisms you might have.
