The Friends From Work podcast is an absolute gem for any Marvel fan. From the moment I started listening, I was hooked. The hosts, Robby and Kyle, have a fantastic dynamic that makes every episode entertaining and engaging. Their in-depth discussions, attention to detail, and enthusiasm for all things MCU make this podcast a must-listen.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the hosts' extensive knowledge of the Marvel universe. Whether it's discussing the movies or diving into comic book lore, Robby and Kyle bring a wealth of information to each episode. Their insights and analysis add depth to the discussion and provide listeners with a deeper understanding and appreciation for the MCU.
Another standout aspect is the chemistry between Robby and Kyle. It's clear that they are good friends, and their camaraderie shines through in their conversations. Their back-and-forth banter, jokes, and shared excitement create an enjoyable atmosphere that feels like you're part of the conversation with old friends.
However, one potential downside is that some may find themselves longing for more varied perspectives. While Robby and Kyle offer valuable insights from their own experiences as MCU fans, it might be interesting to hear different viewpoints or guest appearances to add diversity to the discussions.
In conclusion, The Friends From Work podcast is a must-listen for any Marvel fan seeking insightful discussions, entertaining banter, and genuine enthusiasm for all things MCU.

We have spent so much time (admittedly really fun time) going through both the Fox-Verse and X-Men '97 these last 12 weeks that we've almost forgotten about some open plot threads within the MCU sacred timeline! Well, it's time to revisit our beloved MCU. After a quick Deadpool & Wolverine ticket discussion, we spend the rest of today's episode following two rules. First, there shall be no mutant or X-Men talk. Secondly, we won't discuss the "state" of the MCU in any kind of negative fashion. This is a really fun chance for people to catch up with what has been happening within the MCU these last few years and this was one of our favorite episodes to record this year. Let's. Grow.
