Marvel Fandom Podcast by Puny Pod

Puny Podians Assemble! Ryan and David are back with another star-spangled episode from our Super Secret Spoiler Show archives—this time, we're suiting up for Captain America: The First Avenger. Before there was an Avengers Initiative, before Cap wielded Mjolnir, there was skinny Steve Rogers—a kid from Brooklyn with a big heart and bigger dreams. We're diving into the MCU's first true period piece, a World War II-set origin story that gave us Hydra, the Tesseract, and one heck of a heroic glow-up. From serum science to shield-slinging action, we're breaking down the film's old-school charm, its pulp-inspired style, and how it set the tone for one of the MCU's most iconic heroes. Want more Marvel deep dives, early episodes, and spoiler-packed discussions? Subscribe to the EarzUp Patreon for the latest drops and exclusive content. Whether you think The First Avenger is an underrated gem or just a stepping stone to bigger battles, this episode is bursting with patriotic passion and MCU insights. Press play and join the fight!
