And What Are You Into is a monthly deep dive into popular culture, past and present. Hosted by two longtime friends and geeks, this show seeks to figure out what makes popular things resonate (or not resonate).

    We Are Groot: Black Widow

    The guys talk about Black Widow. In a shocking Phase 4 reversal, Ian's a little bit harder on this one than Bobby. The guys can at least agree that this movie is a pretty stale consolation prize for a character who has been with us since nearly the beginning.

    We are Groot: Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    After a hiatus, we are back! And so are Falcon and the Winter Soldier. What happens when Disney and the MCU try to tackle the real world implications of having a Captain America while also dipping a toe into the complicated and messy conversation about America's relationship with racism? You get this series. It certainly is a series! That is an undeniable fact. Anyway, it's been awhile since the guys recorded this and Bobby has clearly forgotten a lot of the conversation so he's just editorializing here. Next week...a movie!

    We Are Groot: Wandavision

    We'll go ahead and ignore your Agents of SHIELD and your Agent Carters. And your Daredevils and Defenders. And also your Runaways. Was Cloak and Dagger part of the MCU? Listen, Marvel has been pushing TV projects basically since the first Avengers movie, so it's kind of bizarre that they are treating these Disney+ shows like they're the MCU's first foray into television. Anyway, here's Wandavision! Ian and Bobby both appreciate that two of the strongest actors in the MCU get to finally flex their skills, and also love the big creative swing this one takes. Next time...even more TV!

    We Are Groot: Spider-Man Far From Home

    After a prolonged break, we're back and ready to tackle the post-Endgame MCU. Tom Holland's Spider-Man has largely been defined by his relationship to Tony Stark. So what happens when Tony Stark is removed from the equation? Ian and Bobby argue about it, obviously. Enjoy the last MCU entry to have been released before the world went absolutely insane.

    We Are Groot: Avengers Endgame

    Here it is, the Endgame of all your good intentions. I literally can't believe that Avatar is the highest grossing movie of all time.

    We Are Groot: Captain Marvel

    The guys tackle the MCU's first female-led superhero movie. Bobby apparently hates women.

    We Are Groot: Ant-Man and the Wasp

    Here's the film follow-up the entire world was clamoring for! Marvel's biggest A-lister, hot off his mega-hit movie, returns for a sequel--and this time he's got his girlfriend! What's the deal with Ant-Man and the Wasp anyway. Are they official? Are they seeing other people? Here's a movie where the lead is actually its septuagenarian star, but the script constantly tries to distract you from that with every other character. Here's a movie where its sympathetic villain cackles with bloodlust over the thought of killing a young child. Here's a film where Walton Goggins is called in to run around and goggins all over the place, even if he has no actual place in the action. And here, also,  is a film where Luis remains the greatest MCU character of all time. All jokes aside, the guys agree that this movie is pretty good. Next week...something Marvelous!

    We Are Groot: Avengers Infinity War

    Ian and Bobby tackle Infinity War. Or Avengers 3. Or Endgame Part 1. Bobby is up to usually shenanigans and hates this movie. Everyone rolls their eyes and Bobby begs to understand why this movie is so well regarded. Listen, Bobby's wrong. If you're going to support the output of one of the biggest and most evil corporations in the world, why even try to make a distinction in quality. If the governing principle of the creation of the MCU was "Hey, maybe one day Hulk and Iron Man America can punch things together", have we not arrived? What do you even want out of this? The Great Mouse put the talking raccoon on Thor's shoulder. Are you not entertained? Should this film not be exempt from the same criteria that every other filmed is judged by? Captain America has a cool new shield he can stab people with. Shut up and take your medicine.
