n this remastered episode, I explore whether Marvel's Avengers Endgame was a bold gamble or a smart investment. With over $2.7 billion earned at the box office, it's easy to say it paid off—but that didn't happen by luck. Marvel started small with Iron Man and built momentum over a decade, taking calculated risks with each film. The real entrepreneurial takeaway? Success follows strategy, not chance. As Kevin Feige put it, “You basically go, hold hands and jump out of the plane and hope you can build a parachute before you hit the ground.” Learn how Marvel's measured approach can help you manage your business risks with greater confidence.

In this episode we discuss Y Tu Mamá También, the 2001 Critertion Collection masterpiece by Alfonso Cuarón. We debate the divisive choice of including narration and how it compares to mainstream movies like Avengers: Endgame. Lastly we appreciate multi-level marketing for funding this film. Come from the spoilers, stay for the post-credits jokes.Spoiler Alert: Every episode contains spoilers.

In this episode, I break down how Marvel's success with Avengers: Endgame is rooted in their mastery of storytelling. A solid narrative is essential, not just in films, but in business too. When you share a compelling story about your product or service, you create a bond with your audience that goes beyond just selling. A good story can lead to loyal customers and lasting success.

In this remastered episode, I dive into how Marvel Studios created massive value over 11 years with Avengers: Endgame. By delivering consistent quality, building a loyal fanbase, and offering a long-term payoff, Marvel turned a series of movies into one of the most valuable franchises of all time.

Marvel kaster os nu ud i ét af universets mørkere afkroge. 'Thunderbolts*' er næste store kapitel i MCU - et hold sammensat af antihelte, skurke og tvivlsomme typer, der nu skal forsøge at redde dagen… eller i hvert fald ikke ødelægge den helt. Men hvad siger 'Thunderbolts*' egentlig om den retning, Marvel har taget siden 'Avengers: Endgame'? Er vi stadig investeret i det cinematiske univers, eller leder Marvel efter en helt ny identitet i post-Avengers-tiden? Vi går i dybden med den nye film og tager samtidig temperaturen på hele MCU-maskineriet.  01:00 - 39:16 - Marvel post-Endgame diskussion 39:24 - 58:26 - Quiz 58:36 - 1:17:18 - Thunderbolts (spoilerfri snak) 1:17:25 - 1:45:10 - Thunderbolts (spoilers) 1:45:10 - Hva' så nu Marvel?

Hoy toca estreno de cine. Una película que lleva poquito tiempo en cartelera y que es la última estrenada por Marvel Studios. Un grupo de llamémosles "perdedores" que tendrán que salvar una situación que les viene grande. Aunque los fans de los cómics verán que el título poco o nada tiene que ver con lo que se leyó en los cómics hace ya unos cuantos lustros. Thunderbolts* ha sido quien ha devuelto algo de esperanza, en cuanto a no pocos fiascos que llevaban seguidos en la gran pantalla la factoría que ofreció Avengers: Endgame y compañía. Así que parece que en cuanto al entretenimiento y las ganas de pasarlo bien Florence Pugh y compañía se han llevado el gato al agua. Con lo que como se dice aquí siempre, dadle al Play y disfrutad de más hora y media de charla distendida sobre ello.

Send us a textAfter returning from the AC Bachelor Invitational, EstoBro welcomes back Magikarp to the program. The guest is the first substitute guest of the podcast with TV officially locked in for wedding mode. They begin the show with talking about One Piece (3:30) and all the exciting anime that is on the horizon later in the year. The newly elected pope of the Catholic church was elected today, Pope Leo XIV, the first American cardinal to lead the faith...and he is also from the city of Chicago. In discovery, EstoBro confirmed that His Holiness is a Cubs fan, and the host takes the time to talk Chicago Cubs baseball with Magikarp because he hardly gets the chance to do so (13:20). After an electric start to the season, the pair make the criticism of what this team needs for additions in order to make a deep run in the playoffs down the stretch. When they pivot to multimedia news, they also applaud the MCU's latest installment of "The New Avengers" but you probably know it better as the Thunderbolts* (27:25). With the latest comic book film at the movies, EstoBro confirms that this film truly deserves the claim, "Best film since Avengers: Endgame," after a remarkable performance. This was the perfect film to get prepare for Fantastic Four: First Steps that is set to release this summer. Finally in nerdcore, with Magikarp being a fellow Pokémon trainer, he joins EstoBro with criticizing the soon to be released Nintendo Switch 2 (47:45). As the countdown for the new system goes on, the pair put some criticism of some other major titles being released upon rollout and even entertain of 'ETPC's Smash Injustice' with major video game characters left off the Smash Bros.

"Women in Refrigerators": Understanding Fridging in Superhero MediaIn this eye-opening episode of Superhero Ethics, hosts Matthew and Riki tackle the controversial topic of "fridging" with special guest Jessica Plummer, a comic book historian with expertise in gender representation. The term "fridging," coined by comic writer Gail Simone in 1999, refers to the killing, maiming, or assault of female characters primarily to advance a male character's storyline.What exactly is fridging and where did the term come from?The term "women in refrigerators" originated from a 1994 Green Lantern issue where Kyle Rayner's girlfriend Alexandra DeWitt was murdered and stuffed in a refrigerator by villain Major Force. This served solely to motivate Kyle's character development and revenge arc. The podcast explores how this pattern repeats across comics, films, and TV shows, with female characters frequently introduced only to be brutalized for male character development.Why is fridging problematic beyond just character death?The discussion highlights how fridging isn't just about women dying - it's about the specific ways their bodies are violated and displayed, often in sexualized or gratuitously violent ways. The hosts examine how female characters are disproportionately subjected to these fates compared to male characters, despite already being underrepresented in superhero media to begin with.How does fridging differ from other character deaths?The podcast examines the key differences between fridging and other character deaths. Male characters often die heroically in battle with "noble sacrifices" and frequently return from death, while female characters are more commonly assaulted in domestic settings like kitchens, portrayed as helpless victims rather than heroes making choices, and rarely return from death.What about fridging and race in media?The conversation expands to discuss similar patterns with characters of color, who are often introduced as side characters only to be killed to motivate white protagonists. While the panel debates whether "fridging" should specifically refer to violence against women or could apply more broadly, they agree the core issue is about which characters get to be protagonists versus disposable plot devices.Other topics discussed:The original Green Lantern fridging incident that gave the trope its nameHow Black Widow's death in Avengers: Endgame exhibits elements of fridgingThe repeated visual motif of female character deaths (like Gwen Stacy's fall)Examples of media that subvert fridging expectations, like John Wick and DaredevilHow some characters have "climbed out of the fridge" through character resurrection and reimaginingWriters and creators who have worked to challenge and change this tropeThe relationship between shock value and fridging**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

This week Micah, Lyndsey, and Alicia are talking about Avengers Endgame!

Joe & Adam discuss Avengers: Endgame on this special episode of the podcast. What's the good? What's the bad? And why does Joe think Hawkeye sucks.

Nobody expected Jesus to rise from the dead, not even His disciples and those closest to Him expected Him to get up and walk out of the tomb. It did not matter to His disciples that Jesus said that He would suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and after three days rise from the dead (Mark 8:31), because what He said fell upon deaf ears at the time. On the day of Jesus death, everyone believed that He had lost, and evil had won. There was no coming back in the minds of all who watched Him die, and for good reason! When a person was sentenced by Rome to be crucified, it was a sentence that was equally horrible as it was terminal. Jesus died and was buried in a tomb. When Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome went to Jesuss tomb, they went to anoint a decomposing and dead Jesus to cover up the stench of death while His disciples mourned. What these women were expecting was a very dead body. When they arrived at the tomb and found the stone moved, they were alarmed not because they expected the resurrection, but because they thought someone messed with the body (see Mark 16:1-5). This is why the young man, who most likely was an angel, said to them: Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; see, here is the place where they laid Him (Mark 16:6). What was their response? They were terrified: ...they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had gripped them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid (Mark 16:8). What the disciples saw as defeat, the angels viewed at the edge of their seats, if Peter and the rest could have heard the chatter from heaven, maybe they would have heard: You just wait and see whats coming! If it were possible to hear the angels, and if they were listening closely enough, maybe they would have heard all of heaven ask: Did you not hear what Jesus said when He was with you? Did you not hear Him say, I am the good shepherd, and I know My own, and My own know Me, just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.... No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it back. This commandment I received from My Father. (John 10:14-15, 18)? Some of you are feeling the way the disciples and those closest to Jesus felt in the wake of His death. Some of you are feeling like the disciples did when they woke up on Sunday morning: stuck, unsure, afraid, frustrated, angry, and hopeless. I want you to know today that there is a hope within your reach that can swallow up your paralysis, uncertainty, fear, frustration, anger, and hopelessness. For me to do that, I need you to see some things in the 23rd Psalm. Everyone Experiences the Valley of the Shadow of Death Death is the great antagonist and for some strange reason, we act as though we will never experience it, and when it does come... we are surprised by it. Just before Frank Sinatra died, he said, Im losing. The comedian, Groucho Marxs last words were, This is no way to live! Caesar Borgia (chayzaarayborzhuh) said on his deathbed: While I lived, I provided for everything but death; now I must die and am unprepared to die. In Psalm 23:4, we come to a very familiar sentence that has served to comfort the anxious and fearful: Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Death is something that we all must face and not one of us will be able to escape it. The valley of the shadow of death is not only death, but the deep darkness of sin, and it is a deep darkness that envelops all humankind.[1] The valley of death is a darkness that no one is exempt from, even if you are a Christian. You see, the valley of deep darkness represents the curse our world is under and the curse that affects us all, and that curse is sin. This is why our world is a mess, this is why there is sickness and disease, and this is why we have to say goodbye way too often and sometimes way too soon. The Bible says that all of us are guilty of sin (Rom. 3:23), and that it is something that has been passed down from one generation to the next. Here is what the Bible says: ...through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all mankind, because all sinned.... Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the violation committed by Adam (Rom. 5:12, 14). What the valley is to you really depends on whether or not you can say with the Psalmist: The Lord is my shepherd, I will not be in need. You see, there is one group of people who will be swallowed up by the valley and then there is another group of people who will walk through the valley. The question is this: What group do you belong to? Not Everyone Remains in the Valley of the Shadow of Death Jesus said of the 23rd Psalm: I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep (John 10:11). Here is what the Bible says about all of us: All of us, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way... (Isa. 53:3). Or to say it another way, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23). All of us have sinned and fall short of meeting the standard of a Holy God. So what was Gods solution to address our sin problem? Listen to the rest of Isaiah 53:3, All of us, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; but the Lord has caused the wrongdoing [sins] of us all to fall on Him. Jesus said, I am the Lord of the 23rd Psalm but He did not stop there, He went on to say, I am the good shepherd, and I know My own, and My own know Me, just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep (vv. 14-15). The way that you know that the Lord of the 23rd Psalm is your Shepherd is whether or not you believe who He claimed to be and that when He laid down His life for you because of your sins, that His death on a cross is sufficient for the forgiveness of your sins. And listen, if you really believe in Jesus, if you really belong to Him, and if you really know Him... you will believe the things that He said about Himself: I am the bread of life; the one who comes to Me will not be hungry, and the one who believes in Me will never be thirsty. (John 6:35) I am the Light of the world; the one who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life. (John 8:12) I am the resurrection and the life; the one who believes in Me will live, even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this? (John 11:2526) Anyone can say the things Jesus said, and everyone will die one day. If all that Jesus did was lay down his life for the sheep, then all that He is... is a dead martyr and nothing more. But consider what Jesus said to the disciples that they missed, most likely because of how impossible they found it to believe what He said to be: I am the good shepherd, and I know My own, and My own know Me, just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice; and they will become one flock, with one shepherd. For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it back. No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it back. This commandment I received from My Father. (John 10:14-18) What the disciples missed was the most important part of what Jesus said: I lay down My life for the sheep.... I lay down My life so that I may take it back.... I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it back. In other words, I will die for your sins to redeem you, and then I am coming back by way of a resurrection! It should not have surprised any of the disciples or the women who knew Jesus that the tomb was empty on the third day, but because the resurrection was so impossible and so beyond the limitations of their imagination that the Good Shepherd, the Lord of the 23rd Psalm, could die for sins and then conquer death by rising from it. This is why the angel said to the women when they arrived at the place Jesus was buried: Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; see, here is the place where they laid Him (Mark 16:6). Conclusion We all want a happily ever after story. We go to the movies, and we watch sporting events just so that we might experience the impossible! We want to experience the Fellowship of the Ring and Frodo and Sams impossible mission to destroy the evil ring of Sauron. For you romantics in the room, you want Jerry Maquire to walk through the door finally believing that the love of his life is his wife, Dorothy, and maybe your heart fluttered when Dorothy told Jerry to shut up, followed by the words: You had me at hello. If you like the kinds of movies I like, then you wanted to stand and shout just before the great battle scene in Avengers: End Game. However, when it comes to experiencing the impossible for real and in our lifetime, we are shocked. When fantasy and reality merge and the impossible really happens, we are shocked. Perhaps you think your game is over because you are at the bottom of the 9th with three balls, two outs, a man on second, and you are down by one run! But wait, there is still a player on second and one more pitch to go over the plate. It was during the first game in 1988 World Series that Kirk Gibson, who played for the Dodgers, was injured and unable to run. It was surprising that he was put in as a pinch hitter at the bottom of the 9th inning with two outs. Gibson hobbled up to the plate to everyones surprise. With Mike Davis on first base, Tommy Lasorda was hoping Gibson could hit a ball far enough to get Davis to home for a game tying run. Gibson fouled two pitches for two strikes, swung at another ball down the first base line for a foul, and eventually ended up with 3 out of 4 balls giving him a full count. What this meant was that if he got another ball, he would be forced to walk or if he got one more strike, he would lose the game against the As by one run. When Dennis Eckersley, the closing pitcher for the As, threw a backdoor slider, Gibson swung with just about all his upper body to hit the pitch and sent the ball over the right-field fence for a homerun. The Dodgers won the world series that year, the only time Gibson was able to step up to the plate was that one time at the bottom of the 9th in the first game to hit one of the greatest homeruns in baseball history. After Gibson stepped on home plate, the announcer said this: In a year that seemed so improbable, the impossible has happened. There is a greater event that happened that did not happen before, nor has it happened since, and that event was the resurrection of Jesus Christ. When He walked out of the tomb on Sunday, the impossible happened, and because it happened, it changed everything. The resurrection of Jesus Christ affirms all that He did and claimed to be! Because of the resurrection, we can know and experience Him to be the Bread of Life, the light of the world, the resurrection and the life, and the Good Shepherd of the 23rd Psalm. Jesus tomb is empty and because He defeated sin and the grave, He alone is qualified and able to guide me in the paths of righteousness... even through I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. His rod and staff comfort me because He swallowed up the deep darkness of the valley through His resurrection! Jesus not only walked through the valley of the shadow of death, but He also defeated it and came out on the other side as the victor and Lord of Life! Jesus Christ is risen from the grave! If you dont know Him, then the 23rd Psalm is not for you and there is no going through the valley of the shadow of death. But, if you do know Him, then not only will He lead you through the valley of the shadow of death, but there is a table at the other end of it and because of the Good Shepherd, Psalm 23:6 is for you and all who hope in Jesus as the Lord of Life: Certainly goodness and faithfulness will follow me all the days of my life, And my dwelling will be in the house of the Lord forever. Amen. [1] Christopher Ash, The Psalms vol. 2 (Wheaton, IL: Crossway; 2024), p. 271.

They were terrified: ...they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had gripped them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid (Mark 16:8). What the disciples saw as defeat, the angels viewed at the edge of their seats, if Peter and the rest could have heard the chatter from heaven, maybe they would have heard: You just wait and see whats coming! If it were possible to hear the angels, and if they were listening closely enough, maybe they would have heard all of heaven ask: Did you not hear what Jesus said when He was with you? Did you not hear Him say, I am the good shepherd, and I know My own, and My own know Me, just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.... No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it back. This commandment I received from My Father. (John 10:14-15, 18)? Some of you are feeling the way the disciples and those closest to Jesus felt in the wake of His death. Some of you are feeling like the disciples did when they woke up on Sunday morning: stuck, unsure, afraid, frustrated, angry, and hopeless. I want you to know today that there is a hope within your reach that can swallow up your paralysis, uncertainty, fear, frustration, anger, and hopelessness. For me to do that, I need you to see some things in the 23rd Psalm. Everyone Experiences the Valley of the Shadow of Death Death is the great antagonist and for some strange reason, we act as though we will never experience it, and when it does come... we are surprised by it. Just before Frank Sinatra died, he said, Im losing. The comedian, Groucho Marxs last words were, This is no way to live! Caesar Borgia (chayzaarayborzhuh) said on his deathbed: While I lived, I provided for everything but death; now I must die and am unprepared to die. In Psalm 23:4, we come to a very familiar sentence that has served to comfort the anxious and fearful: Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Death is something that we all must face and not one of us will be able to escape it. The valley of the shadow of death is not only death, but the deep darkness of sin, and it is a deep darkness that envelops all humankind.[1] The valley of death is a darkness that no one is exempt from, even if you are a Christian. You see, the valley of deep darkness represents the curse our world is under and the curse that affects us all, and that curse is sin. This is why our world is a mess, this is why there is sickness and disease, and this is why we have to say goodbye way too often and sometimes way too soon. The Bible says that all of us are guilty of sin (Rom. 3:23), and that it is something that has been passed down from one generation to the next. Here is what the Bible says: ...through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all mankind, because all sinned.... Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the violation committed by Adam (Rom. 5:12, 14). What the valley is to you really depends on whether or not you can say with the Psalmist: The Lord is my shepherd, I will not be in need. You see, there is one group of people who will be swallowed up by the valley and then there is another group of people who will walk through the valley. The question is this: What group do you belong to? Not Everyone Remains in the Valley of the Shadow of Death Jesus said of the 23rd Psalm: I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep (John 10:11). Here is what the Bible says about all of us: All of us, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way... (Isa. 53:3). Or to say it another way, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23). All of us have sinned and fall short of meeting the standard of a Holy God. So what was Gods solution to address our sin problem? Listen to the rest of Isaiah 53:3, All of us, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; but the Lord has caused the wrongdoing [sins] of us all to fall on Him. Jesus said, I am the Lord of the 23rd Psalm but He did not stop there, He went on to say, I am the good shepherd, and I know My own, and My own know Me, just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep (vv. 14-15). The way that you know that the Lord of the 23rd Psalm is your Shepherd is whether or not you believe who He claimed to be and that when He laid down His life for you because of your sins, that His death on a cross is sufficient for the forgiveness of your sins. And listen, if you really believe in Jesus, if you really belong to Him, and if you really know Him... you will believe the things that He said about Himself: I am the bread of life; the one who comes to Me will not be hungry, and the one who believes in Me will never be thirsty. (John 6:35) I am the Light of the world; the one who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life. (John 8:12) I am the resurrection and the life; the one who believes in Me will live, even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this? (John 11:2526) Anyone can say the things Jesus said, and everyone will die one day. If all that Jesus did was lay down his life for the sheep, then all that He is... is a dead martyr and nothing more. But consider what Jesus said to the disciples that they missed, most likely because of how impossible they found it to believe what He said to be: I am the good shepherd, and I know My own, and My own know Me, just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice; and they will become one flock, with one shepherd. For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it back. No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it back. This commandment I received from My Father. (John 10:14-18) What the disciples missed was the most important part of what Jesus said: I lay down My life for the sheep.... I lay down My life so that I may take it back.... I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it back. In other words, I will die for your sins to redeem you, and then I am coming back by way of a resurrection! It should not have surprised any of the disciples or the women who knew Jesus that the tomb was empty on the third day, but because the resurrection was so impossible and so beyond the limitations of their imagination that the Good Shepherd, the Lord of the 23rd Psalm, could die for sins and then conquer death by rising from it. This is why the angel said to the women when they arrived at the place Jesus was buried: Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; see, here is the place where they laid Him (Mark 16:6). Conclusion We all want a happily ever after story. We go to the movies, and we watch sporting events just so that we might experience the impossible! We want to experience the Fellowship of the Ring and Frodo and Sams impossible mission to destroy the evil ring of Sauron. For you romantics in the room, you want Jerry Maquire to walk through the door finally believing that the love of his life is his wife, Dorothy, and maybe your heart fluttered when Dorothy told Jerry to shut up, followed by the words: You had me at hello. If you like the kinds of movies I like, then you wanted to stand and shout just before the great battle scene in Avengers: End Game. However, when it comes to experiencing the impossible for real and in our lifetime, we are shocked. When fantasy and reality merge and the impossible really happens, we are shocked. Perhaps you think your game is over because you are at the bottom of the 9th with three balls, two outs, a man on second, and you are down by one run! But wait, there is still a player on second and one more pitch to go over the plate. It was during the first game in 1988 World Series that Kirk Gibson, who played for the Dodgers, was injured and unable to run. It was surprising that he was put in as a pinch hitter at the bottom of the 9th inning with two outs. Gibson hobbled up to the plate to everyones surprise. With Mike Davis on first base, Tommy Lasorda was hoping Gibson could hit a ball far enough to get Davis to home for a game tying run. Gibson fouled two pitches for two strikes, swung at another ball down the first base line for a foul, and eventually ended up with 3 out of 4 balls giving him a full count. What this meant was that if he got another ball, he would be forced to walk or if he got one more strike, he would lose the game against the As by one run. When Dennis Eckersley, the closing pitcher for the As, threw a backdoor slider, Gibson swung with just about all his upper body to hit the pitch and sent the ball over the right-field fence for a homerun. The Dodgers won the world series that year, the only time Gibson was able to step up to the plate was that one time at the bottom of the 9th in the first game to hit one of the greatest homeruns in baseball history. After Gibson stepped on home plate, the announcer said this: In a year that seemed so improbable, the impossible has happened. There is a greater event that happened that did not happen before, nor has it happened since, and that event was the resurrection of Jesus Christ. When He walked out of the tomb on Sunday, the impossible happened, and because it happened, it changed everything. The resurrection of Jesus Christ affirms all that He did and claimed to be! Because of the resurrection, we can know and experience Him to be the Bread of Life, the light of the world, the resurrection and the life, and the Good Shepherd of the 23rd Psalm. Jesus tomb is empty and because He defeated sin and the grave, He alone is qualified and able to guide me in the paths of righteousness... even through I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. His rod and staff comfort me because He swallowed up the deep darkness of the valley through His resurrection! Jesus not only walked through the valley of the shadow of death, but He also defeated it and came out on the other side as the victor and Lord of Life! Jesus Christ is risen from the grave! If you dont know Him, then the 23rd Psalm is not for you and there is no going through the valley of the shadow of death. But, if you do know Him, then not only will He lead you through the valley of the shadow of death, but there is a table at the other end of it and because of the Good Shepherd, Psalm 23:6 is for you and all who hope in Jesus as the Lord of Life: Certainly goodness and faithfulness will follow me all the days of my life, And my dwelling will be in the house of the Lord forever. Amen. [1] Christopher Ash, The Psalms vol. 2 (Wheaton, IL: Crossway; 2024), p. 271.

The Electric State Simon Stålenhag may not be a household name, but his incredibly distinctive art has inspired hundreds of thousands of people all around the world. His books, "Tales from the Loop", "Labyrinth", "Things from the Flood" and "Sunset at Zero Point" as well as the novel basis for this film "The Electric State" have garnered a passionate fanbase and one of these books has already been loosely adapted into the @amazonprime series “Tales from the Loop”. That brings us to this new big budget Netflix adaptation of The Electric State, from Avengers: Endgame directors The Russo Brothers. Loosely based on the graphic novel, the film takes place in a reimagined version of 1997. Humans are isolated in their VR helmets in the wake of a global war against the robots, and around them the world is on the cusp of a complete technological meltdown. Amidst this dystopian setting a teenage girl named Michelle and a robot travel the U.S in search of answers to questions that may save her brothers life... Is the combination of @milliebobbybrown, @prattprattpratt and the @therussobrothers going to bring this story to enjoyable life? Or will it be a lifeless remote controlled robotic shell? Dion, Quinny and Peta are your road trip buddies this week, and we are sure one of them is a sneaky robot in disguise... but its up to you to decide who. Synopsis An orphaned teen hits the road with a mysterious robot to find her long-lost brother, teaming up with a smuggler and his wisecracking sidekick. https://youtu.be/nsPeXBCpmpA A huge thank you to all our robots, VR soldiers and questionably moustachioed truck drivers who listen to each episode of the show, especially those of you who join in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!) via your Neurocasters.

The United Nations should probably intervene and impose sanctions on streamers for wasting over $300 million on movies like The Electric State.Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo—the guys behind Avengers: Endgame and Infinity War—the film somehow lowers the bar for them even further, after the one-two punch of The Gray Man and Citadel.It's remarkable how little spark Chris Pratt and Millie Bobby Brown have in this film, which also disrespects Stanley Tucci, Ke Huy Quan and Giancarlo Esposito by isolating them in separate corners of the movie.—Hosted by Akhil Arora and Rohan Naahar, The Long Take is fully bootstrapped.

With production quality and fan interest seeming to perpetually decline since 2019's Avengers: Endgame film, Marvel looks to bounce back with the 4th installment in the Captain America franchise: Brave New World. This week, J. Mac & Ryder break down the new film and discuss where Marvel needs to improve.

It's been nearly 6 years since Avengers Endgame. It's well past time to get the band … or something like the band, back together. This week the Regular Joe's each roll out their suggested roster for the next iteration of Marvel's premiere super team. Think of it like fantasy sports for nerds. As you might expect there's some common ground, but also some radically divergent ideas, as they forge the respective teams of old guard, new blood, and a few wild cards. As the Russo Brother's next Avengers film is currently slated for June 2026 we may not have to wait too long to see who comes closest to the next line up. There's also the usual round of Random Topics. Thanks for listening!

WARNING: Do not listen to this episode unless you have seen the 2025 Marvel Studios release "Captain America: Brave New World" or do not mind hearing key plot points. Captain America: Brave New World is the next chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It follows the storyline of Sam Wilson, who inherited the shield from Steve Rogers in Avengers: Endgame. Sam's story continued in the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. It also takes plot points from The Eternals, The Incredible Hulk, and Captain America: Civil War. It stars Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Captain America and Harrison Ford, who takes over for the late William Hurt as “Thunderbolt” Ross, who is now the President. Acclaimed sportscaster Marshall Harris rejoins the podcast to contribute to the review. In this episode, they discuss the challenges for this movie, which includes in the introduction of Giancarlo Esposito through reshoots. They talk about the movie's marketing, which included the Red Hulk. Plus, they talk about where this movie fits in the greater MCU.

We're now up to the 35th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and that movie is “Captain America: Brave New World.” At the end of “Avengers: Endgame”, the OG Captain America, Steve Rogers, gave Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) the Captain America shield. Sam, had been Falcon up until that point, starting in the movies with “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.” After, the “Falcon And The Winter Soldier” Marvel TV series, the Sam Wilson version of Captain America is in his own movie. Captain America is tasked with making sure that some bad characters don't get their hands on some adamantium retrieved from the Celestial Being, seen in “Eternals.” It's crucial because if it's lost, it threatens dismantling a peace deal that President Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross is trying to strike with countries, all who want to harvest materials from the Celestial Being. This triggers a chain of events which include an assassination attempt on President Ross, the discovery of a secret lab with clues of nefarious activity and the appearance of Red Hulk. Is this movie worth checking out at the theater? Watch this episode to find out! “Captain America: Brave New World” also stars Danny Ramirez, Carl Lumbly, Shira Haas, Tim Blake Nelson, Giancarlo Esposito, Xosha Roquemore, Johannes Haukur Johannesson, William Mark McCullough, Takehiro Hara and Harsh Nayyar. Support the showFeel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook

We're wrapping up our watchalong of the series that bridges "Avengers: Endgame" and "Captain America: Brave New World"! Sam reckons with the mantle of Captain America while trying to prevent atrocities by both the Flag Smashers and the GRC. Let's watch as the series concludes!

Trey's Table Episode 241: Black Captain America Exploring the Racial Discussions and Controversies Surrounding *Captain America: Brave New World *By Trey Smith, Host and Producer of *Trey's Table* Podcast* As the release of *Captain America: Brave New World* approaches, the conversation around race, representation, and cultural identity in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has reached a fever pitch. In my latest podcast episode, *Trey's Table* Episode 241, I dive deep into the history of a Black Captain America, the significance of Sam Wilson's journey, and the controversies that have surrounded this groundbreaking film. The Legacy of a Black Captain America Sam Wilson, originally known as the Falcon, has long been a symbol of hope and resilience in Marvel Comics. Introduced in 1969 during the civil rights movement, Sam was one of Marvel's first Black superheroes. His transition to Captain America in 2014's *All-New Captain America* series was a pivotal moment, addressing themes of race, identity, and the complexities of carrying the mantle of a symbol traditionally tied to American patriotism. In the MCU, Sam Wilson's journey began in *Captain America: The Winter Soldier* (2014), where he quickly became a trusted ally to Steve Rogers. After Steve passed him the shield in *Avengers: Endgame*, Sam's struggle to accept the role was explored in the Disney+ series *The Falcon and the Winter Soldier*. Now, in *Brave New World*, Sam steps fully into the role of Captain America, marking a new era for the MCU and for representation in superhero storytelling. The Weight of Representation Anthony Mackie, who portrays Sam Wilson, has spoken openly about the responsibility of being the first Black Captain America. In interviews, Mackie emphasized that his role is not just for Black children but for all audiences. He believes that superheroes like Captain America transcend race, embodying universal values of honor, integrity, and dependability. However, this transition has not been without controversy. Some critics have labeled Sam Wilson's promotion as a “DEI move,” particularly in the wake of political rhetoric surrounding diversity initiatives. Despite this, Mackie's portrayal has been praised for its authenticity and the thoughtful way Marvel has handled the character's evolution. Controversies and Cultural Backlash *Captain America: Brave New World* has faced its share of controversies. From debates over the film's political messaging to the handling of characters like Sabra (an Israeli superhero), the movie has become a lightning rod for cultural discussions. Additionally, Anthony Mackie's comments about Captain America representing universal values rather than just American patriotism sparked outrage among some right-wing commentators, though Mackie later clarified his remarks. The film's production has also been rocky, with reports of extensive reshoots and poor test screenings. Some critics have questioned whether the movie's political themes resonate effectively, while others have praised its bold approach to addressing modern issues. Why This Matters The significance of a Black Captain America cannot be overstated. In a world where representation matters, Sam Wilson's journey reflects the struggles and triumphs of marginalized communities. His story is not just about superheroics; it's about identity, legacy, and the power of symbols to inspire change.
