The Madames discuss The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which they both agree belongs in sequel jail. Kris & Amy pick apart the movie's nonsensical script while scratching their heads about the movie's villains and casting. And they thoroughly discuss the misogyny that pervades the movie & leads to an ending they'd rather forget. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 falls outside the MCU proper. It stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Sally Field, Dane DeHaan, Denis Leary, and (for some reason) Paul Giamatti.

In honor of Black History Month, Kris shares a blog post published last year during the run of The Falcon & the Winter Soldier. The show sparked a lot of conversation, to put it mildly, on social media. Kris & Amy rarely address that sort of thing on the podcast because they focus primarily on content. Social media can also be a pretty toxic environment, and they don't want that energy to infect themselves or the podcast. But the sheer volume of ignorance flying around during Falcon and the Winter Soldier had Kris pulling out her pen. So here is a piece from April of 2021 entitled, The Great White Gripe.
