The Avengers

The Avengers

In honor of the upcoming Doctor Strange and The Multiverse of Madness, we're launching our latest mini-series: MARVEL MAWMA! We've lost our everloving mind and are doing FIVE Marvel Movies in the upcoming weeks (as well as The Northman, this is our podcast not yours). We're kicking it off with the movie that more or less kicked off the Marvel Machine as we know it: 2012's The Avengers! We're ranking them by hotness, introducing a new rating scale, and doing our worst New York accents.

Programming note: We are both homosexuals and refuse to learn anything about Marvel (our brains are too full from memorizing the script to Notes on a Scandal), so if we get anything about the MCU wrong, no we didn't.

Another programming note: We're running a contest! Rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or Spotify (five stars of course), and if we draw your name out of the wig, YOU get to choose a movie for us to cover. That's right, you!!!!
