Nerd-Nexus.com's Movie Quest

Let's get strange, baby - today's episode of the Movie Quest podcast focuses on 2016's Doctor Strange! I'm not sure whether I'm shocked or not, but (SPOILER) this was Julianne's favorite MCU film so far, and she rated it an astounding 9.5 Cummerbunds! In addition to this rating, Julianne and I ask critical questions like: Was Joaquin Phoenix almost cast ad Dr. Strange? Was the role of The Ancient One whitewashed when they cast Tilda Swinton? What's the deal with Stephen and Christine? What is the Mirror World? Is Dormammu a dragon? It would seem that Julianne's only criticism of the film is that they didn't show Dr. Strange bargaining with Dormammu enough - Apparently she wanted truly endless loops. YA HEAR THAT, DERRICKSON!?!? We are SO CLOSE to wrapping up Phase 3 of the MCU - next up in our series is one of my all-time favorites: Taikia Waititi's Thor: Ragnarok. Keep an eye peeled for more dumb stuff right here at Nerd-Nexus.com and even dumber stuff on social media at @Nerd.Nexus on Instagram and at @NerdNexus on Twitter.

When I first told Julianne that Spider-Man appears in the MCU, she responded with something like "...oh, Tobey Maguire!?!" I've spent my life trying to convince her that there's a new Spider-Man in town...no, not Andrew Garfield! TOM HOLLAND! He's a star, and he's the star of Spider-Man: Homecoming! Welcome to Episode 15 of the Movie Quest Podcast! Thanks for listening! We're getting super close to the end of Phase 3 of the MCU - the next episode of the podcast features 2016's Doctor Strange - stay tuned!

Have a listen as two incredibly white people talk about one of the most important films in not only Black Cinema's history, but maybe ALL of cinema history: 2018's Black Panther! #WAKANDAFOREVER This one was easy. It was easy to record, easy watch, and it's easy to listen back to as I edit. As I mention in the podcast, Black Panther is not the next movie in the chronological, real-life sequence of the MCU; we should have watched Doctor Strange, but Julianne and I were just too damn stoked about this movie - we had to skip ahead!

I know, I know...you've been waiting for the latest episode of the MOVIE QUEST Podcast for an inordinate amount of time. I freely admit that it's been too long since I published an episode, but I have a good reason: my podcast co-host is NOW MY WIFE! We got married! Anyway, enough of the mushy stuff - let's talk about Episode 12: Captain America: Civil War! Captain America: Civil War is the beginning of MCU's Phase 3, so there's a lot to talk about! Julianne and I discuss: The fact that we had to record this episode twice! The Sokovia Accords! BLACK PANTHER'S MCU DEBUT! Tom Holland's debut as Spider-Man! Why the hell didn't they just take a train to Siberia??? Could they have just made Ant-Man really big and then ridden him over the ocean??

Ultron has been defeated so you know what time it is: let's break down the final film in the MCU's Phase 2 - that's right, it's 2015's ANT-MAN! Let's get small! In the 11th episode of the Movie Quest Podcast, Julianne and I discuss: Edgar Wright's missed connection to the MCU Paul Rudd got ripped!

In Episode 10 of the Movie Quest Podcast, Julianne and Brandon (that's me) really find their groove as they discuss 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron! Listen in as we tackle the tough questions like: Is Black Widow's hair better? Is James Spader primarily a comedic actor? Who TF is JOHN WHEDON! What is the film industry's SHADOW MATH? (band name, I call it) Where did #LakeThor go? Can you "crack the mainframe" of the whole internet?? Tune in soon for the final film in Phase 2 of the MCU: Ant-Man!

We are BACK and we are ON-TIME with a new episode of the Movie Quest Podcast this week, and you're in for a treat because in Episode 9 we are talking about 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy! Listen along as Julianne and I ask the important questions like: Are James Gunn and Tim Gunn related?? Was that a BlankMan reference! What IS cinematography? "Was that Natalie Portman??" Is Zoe Saldana an angel? Also, Julianne cannot tell the difference between "Mohawk Blue Guy Who Whistles," "Blue Hellboy," and Thanos. So that's fun.

After a brief hiatus (due to reasons), we are back with Episode 8 of the Movie Quest podcast! It's time to break down 2014's CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER! In this episode, Julianne and I discuss: What Steve has been up to since the end of The Avengers (is he dating?!?!) ScarJo having a bad wig and being overly breathy Geo-political machinations Hayley Atwell's #OldLadyMakeup Extremely broad-shouldered business men Mr. Wilson's chiclets teeth Whether or not Julianne doesn't like or maybe luuuuvs Nick Fury Visit us online at www.Nerd-Nexus.com for more perfectly okay content!

Generally-speaking, anyone who is familiar with the MCU is likely aware that Thor: The Dark World is widely-regarded as the worst film in the Marvel catalogue - I'm here to tell you that maybe that's not true! This movie has it all: #FashionDungeons, AAA cannons, flying Viking skiffs, Portal Goofin' in London, and Jane Foster with "the goo inside her." WHO'S READY TO ENTER THE #FashionDungeon?!?!

Look...we had fun. There's actually some really solid film analysis here, and I think it's I'm not gonna say that we "tear into" director Shane Black, but I do say the words "Sue me, Shane Black!" Also in this episode we shout out r/TheyDidTheMath, tell some personal anecdotes about the Good Ole' Days of Ain't It Cool News, and I tell a personal story about the time I bumped into Ernie Cline at an early showing Iron Man 3 in 2013!

That's a wrap on MCU Phase One! Julianne and Brandon finish up the first third of the MCU with 2012's The Avengers! Have a listen as they discuss the build up to this film in the previous films, Mark Ruffalo's cool factor, whether or not Loki is "doin' too much" and Hellbo...errr, Thanos!

I could do this all day. Listen in as Julianne and Brandon discuss the fourth installment of the MCU - is Chris Evans Candadian (maybe not!), did Hugo Weaving hate his Red Skull makeup? And why is Natalie Dormer infamously horny?

It's Episode 3 of the Movie Quest podcast presented by Nerd-Nexus.com!
