    Traditions never die on this episode of Assembly Required: An MCU Retrospective, as the squad can't help but argue over their feelings about Marvel's GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3. Join Eduardo, Peach3z, and Chris in reviewing what turned out to be a pretty divisive film that causes the whole gang to get riled up and maybe a little bit bullied, depending on your point of view (sorry Chris, we love you buddy).

    Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

    Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

    Time to get shrinky with it as Eduardo, Peach3z, and Chris discuss ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA! Does Marvel Studios succeed in making a large-scale movie about its smallest-scale heroes, or is it all setup and no payoff for an Avengers movie that may or may not even happen due to offscreen complications? MODOK: yay or nay? Was it a good movie, but we changed the outcome by observing it? All that, plus several impressions of cartoon characters doing impressions of Robert De Niro! That's why you listen to this podcast, right?

    Loki - Season 2, Episode 5, "Science/Fiction"

    We've already arrived at the penultimate episode of season two of the Disney+ series, LOKI, and The Assembly Required crew has a lot to say about the episode and...a bunch of other semi-related things. Weird, right?. Join Eduardo, Peach3z, and Chris as they ponder how season two may conclude while also being confused about Loki's new powers. Chris tells us some fun facts, the gang dissects a recent Variety article, and YOU take a shot every time we say "spaghetti" (safely, please).

    It's a double-whammy as Eduardo, Peach3z, and Chris reconvene to discuss "1893" and "Heart of the TVA," the third and fourth episodes of season two of Marvel Studios' Disney+ series LOKI! Tune in to hear them praise Natalie Holt, curse synopsis writers, and thirst for hot cocoa! Will there be an episode five for them to discuss? Guess we'll find out together!

My new work podcast

I listen to a lot of podcasts and many of them are revolving around the MCU. This retrospective is so well done and fun to listen to. The hot takes can sometimes drive me insane and I love it because it’s like hanging out and arguing with the homies. I hope they aren’t done.

Best MCU retrospective podcast

Long time listener on Spotify but now I finally have an iPhone so I can review here. If you’re interested in rewatching MCU content, listen to this podcast. It makes every movie and/or episode you consume so much more enjoyable. The regular crew has great chemistry, but the frequent rotation of guest hosts deliver as well. Overall, a great listen the whole way through.
