  1. EPISODI 1

    Captain America: Civil War

    Phase 3, Episode 1. We're back and so are the Avengers as they're teaming up to take on the ultimate bad guy....each other! It's Captain America: Civil War! Directed by The Russo Brothers and starring pretty much everyone - Captain America (Chris Evans) returns as the titular hero to face off against Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) and hero registration. We know... Exciting. We're also not alone for this episode as we're joined by former Editor at DC Comics and owner of Infinite Heroes Comic Shop, Paul Santos. Paul helps us break down the movie and its differences from the comic event its based on. Another first. Mike read the comic beforehand. Pat made him. Listen as Mike struggles to understand the choices made in the movie, as well as getting sick and tired of hearing about the Sokovia Accords. So much in this episode that it burst past the usual 50-60 mins. Check out 90 mins of YAMP fun! Find us on Instagram! Find us on Twitter! Just find us! Enjoy!

    Doctor Strange

    Phase 3, Episode 2 Now, for something a little different in the MCU. It's the mystic arts of Doctor Strange, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rachel McAdams, Benedict Wong, Mads Mikkelsen and Tilda Swinton. Directed by Scott Derrickson. We meet Dr. Steven "Jerk" Strange as we get a new origin story from his horrific accident to his miraculous recovery with the help of The Ancient One. This is a character that Pat is unfamiliar within comic world, so Mike isn't alone this episode as they both learn a few things about the character's growth from the page to screen. They dissect the introduction to the multi-verse and ponder its possible continuation throughout future MCU movies. Mike and Pat also delve into other IPs from the DC Universe for some reason unbeknownst even to them. You came for Doctor Strange, but you're getting some Green Lantern history as well. Enjoy!

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

    Phase 3, Episode 3. We're back with everyone's favorite rag-tag group of hired guns, thrown together like another one of Peter Quill's mix tapes. It's The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper and Vin "I Am Groot" Diesel. James Gunn also returns to direct this sequel that finds the gang doing things, meeting Quill's dad, doing more things and then saving the universe yet again, but this time no one really will know about it except some ravagers. Pat schools Mike on the history of the Guardians from the comics and how Adam Warlock fits and doesn't fit within the Infinity Saga. Mike pleads the case that the best Yondu line is not the infamous "Mary Poppins" reference, but rather something far more important. Flip on that Spotify playlist in the background and listen to us talk about the MCU in space. Enjoy! Find us on Instagram! Find us on Twitter! Just find us!

    Spiderman: Homecoming

    Phase 3, Episode 4 Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man joins the MCU in his brand new, stand-alone (sorta) movie. It's Spider-Man: Homecoming starring Tom Holland, Robert Downey Jr., Marisa Tomei, Zendaya and Michael Keaton as Vulture. Directed by John Watts. Mike and Pat discuss the main ways they enjoyed this return to form Spider-Man from the comics, even though they start mixing alternate worlds with certain characters. Pat isn't a fan of M.J. actually being Michelle and not Mary-Jane even through Peter doesn't meet Mary-Jane until after High School and his real love is Gwen Stacy! (Okay, calm down, Pat) And Mike pines over more stand-alone films where cramming in connections to the MCU doesn't impair the storytelling. But they both love Michael Keaton portrayal of Vulture, a sympathetic villain, who deserves another crack at the web-slinger in future stories. Enjoy! Find us on Instagram! Find us on Twitter!

    Thor: Ragnarok

    Phase 3, Episode 5. The third and final, wait...third of four Thor movies has arrived. It's Thor: Ragnarok starring Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Mark Ruffalo, Tessa Thompson and Cate Blanchett. Directed by Taika Waititi. Mike and Pat dive into Thor's journey for the infinity stones, which has failed, and he's now forced to defend Asgard against the sister he never knew he had. Much like the GOTG movies, Thor: Ragnarok adopts the style over substance angle in storytelling and Pat is having none of it. They talk about Hela being a supporting villain in her own movie, the Hulk movie we'll never get so it's in this one and how some of the comedy in this movie overshadows any dramatic moments for Thor and his family and the fact that he's about to lose his home world!

    Black Panther

    Phase 3, Episode 6 Ryan Coogler brings Black Panther to the big screen, starring Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke and more! Pat and Mike can't stop talking about how much they like this movie from the dialogue and character building, including a villain in Killmonger that you truly understand and sympathize with his anger. They each enjoyed the isolationist theme debated on screen throughout the movie, as well as, the movie's ability to stand on its own without the crutch of the MCU's other heroes. Finally, Mike and Pat, ponder the future of the Black Panther franchise after the unfortunate passing of Chadwick Boseman. Find us on Instagram! Find us on Twitter! Just find us!

    Avengers: Infinity War

    Phase 3, Episode 7. The beginning of the end is here as everyone from every movie team up to get the butt kicked out of them by Thanos, the black order and the outriders in Avengers: Infinity War, directed by The Russo Brothers. Pat Whalen and Mike Field break down all the different threads and characters mixed together in the ultimate achievement in world building storytelling. They talk about Tony Stark's incessant need to always be upset about something, the all-too-brief reunion between Bruce Banner and Black Widow: a head nod after not seeing each other for two years and then the transformation of Doctor Strange from complete jerk in his own movie to the only adult in the room for this one. And much, much, much more. Listen as we attempt to stop Thanos from snapping his fingers...oh too late. Find us on Instagram! Find us on Twitter! Just find us!

    Ant-Man and the Wasp

    Phase 3, Episode 8. Peyton Reed returns to directed Ant-Man and the Wasp starring Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfeiffer, Michael Peña and more! Pat and Mike talk about whether or not this movie unfairly suffers from an audience let down coming off of the epic Avengers: Infinity War. Mike will dive into the various villainous obstacles placed in Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne's way, rather than an actual villain for the movie. Pat will trace the history of Bill Foster, Ghost, Egghead (yeah, he's in this) within the comics, while also breaking down why we're not allowed to call the Quantum Realm by it's true comic name - The Microverse. And those dang Sokovia Accords rear their ugly heads in this, much to the chagrin of Mike. Find us on Instagram! Find us on Twitter! Just find us!

    Captain Marvel

    Phase 3, Episode 9. The 1 billion (worldwide) juggernaut that is Captain Marvel is here to fight the Skrulls, but then the Cree and ultimately to save the world. Starring Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Jude Law, Annette Bening, Ben Mendelsohn, Lashana Lynch and Clark Gregg. This modern-day tale, set in the 90s, packs quite the impact on the box office. Listen to Pat hate on all the MCU connections, as they contradict much of the canon of the past 20 movies. But it's not all hate, as Pat credits this adaptation of the Captain Marvel character as being spot-on. Mike yearned for an actual final battle between Danvers and the Supreme Intelligence rather than the villain-by-proxy that is Ronan in this movie. Discover the mystery behind Danver's real call-sign in the comics, as it was not Avenger, as it was in the movie. Then listen as Pat make the ridiculous claim that the all-time call sign in movie history is Merlin, while Mike corrects him. It's Maverick! It's always Maverick! Find us on Instagram!

    Avengers: Endgame

    Phase 3, Episode 10 You ready for all the emotions? It's Avengers: Endgame starring everyone and directed by the Russo Brothers. Everything we've all watched for the last 10 years is about to wrap up in this one 3 hour movie and what better to cover it than a long 90 minute YAMP episode. Mike Field and Pat Whalen attempt to breakdown all the comic connections in this 22nd MCU movie and figure out the events of this movie and their effect on the MCU past, present and future. That's right, we're going back in time! Remember! As Smart Hulk says, "Time Travel!" Mike wonders why Justin Hammer didn't get an invite to Stark's funeral and vehemently shatters Pat's love of the Star Wars prequel trilogy. (Yeah, there's a tangent). Pat gets teary-eyed over Cap's farewell, but struggles to understand which reality Cap and Peggy exist in, since no one at Marvel seem to be on the same page about it. It's the penultimate Infinity Saga podcast episode! Join us as we watch Thanos die, then die again. Find us on Instagram! Find us on Twitter! Just find us!

    Spider-Man: Far From Home

    Phase 3, Episode 11 Peter Parker is back and. he's on vacation? It's Spider-Man: Far From Home. Directed by Jon Watts. Starring Tom Holland, Samuel L. Jackson, Zendaya, Cobie Smulders, Jon Favreau and Jake Gyllenhaal. After coming down from the high that was the last 45 minutes of Avengers: Endgame, this palette cleanser isn't what the doctor ordered, but we're getting it anyway. Mike works through his dislike of the character that is Ned, through no fault of the actor, Jacob Batalon. Pat finds very little to like in this movie with exception of the action set pieces. But they both agree that Quentin Beck is played extremely well by Jake Gyllenhaal, even if they don't understand his reasons for unveiling Spider-Man's true identity during the end tag. This also marks the end of the Infinity Saga as well as the end of Yet Another MCU Podcast. Mike and Pat bid farewell at the end of the episode, reflecting on the 30 episode adventure they took together. Thanks for listening! But don't despair, we'll still be around...in video form. Stay tuned for all news on Instagram and Twitter!
