MP3•Beranda episode

The home stretch ranges from a wild Western adventure to dark sci-fi to philosophical explorations on the very title of the What If...? series. Listen as Bridgette, Caroline, and Genn discuss the last four episodes of What If...? Season 3. Some ficus villains were redeemed, others remained jerkfaces, and all of our heroes made a splash! How dare Peggy Carter, with all her main character energy, BE the main character?! Scandalous! In all seriousness though, the final goodbye and what if's were tough to let go, but they're what made the show work.

Fantastic Four: First Steps Review 2:10:33

7 weeks yang lalu2:10:33

2:10:33

It's the end of an era and the dawning of a new one. Fantastic Four: First Steps was phenomenal in ways that the Nerd Alert Girls cheer about. Johnny Storm gets to show off his emotional intelligence; Sue Storm gives major Mama Bear energy; Reed Richards is a precious, neurodivergent bean; and Ben Grimm is the best boi who deserves the world. From the superb casting to the emotionally evocative family themes, this movie was a slam dunk and, hopefully, a foreshadowing of things to come for Marvel.…

Bridgette and Genn discuss how Sam navigates his mentorship role for Joaquin Torres, his heartwarming (and heart-wrenching) friendship with Isaiah Bradley, and his contentious relationship with Thaddeus Ross.

Men in Tights: Masculinity in the MCU Part 4 2:39:15

2:39:15

We’re capping off our series with a bonus category: transgressive masculinity. How does “coming out of a bottle” disrupt the inherent contradictions of what makes the ideal man? How does “feminized” framing influence how male characters are perceived by other characters and the audience? We look at Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes to answer these questions. It's been a time with this masculinity series—thanks for riding the elevator with us today! For more context, read the fan commentary: “‘Nice boots, Tinker Bell!’: Steve Rogers as an allegory for the impossibility of performative masculinity.”…

So far we’ve discussed male superheroes who get stuck in the rigid (and sometimes toxic) rules of the traditional masculine code. But what about the positive side of masculinity? How do other heroes embody the flexibility and fluidity inherent to healthy masculinity? How do family, race, and culture influence how they express their gender? Peter Parker, T’Challa, and Sam Wilson become our next three case studies for masculinity in Marvel.…

What defines a man in the hypermasculine genre of superhero movies? Is it being a genius/billionaire/playboy/philanthropist? The Nerd Alert Girls aren’t so sure. We’re looking at the good, the bad, and the ugly side of masculinity in our heroes - starting with how they break free (or don’t) from their more toxic traits. From the tech bro archetypes to the slogan “boys don’t cry,” we’ve got a lot to discuss. We kick off this series with a focus on Tony Stark, Peter Quill, and Hank Pym.…

How many cameos can you stuff into one movie? Deadpool & Wolverine’s answer is yes. As the Nerd Alert Girls dissect the film, we parse through the gratuitous violence, the jokes, and the nostalgia in search of the plot. While we certainly had fun, we couldn’t help but wonder how this movie reflects Marvel’s broader trends in romance, women, and deeper storylines. But hey, they brought back a certain someone to play a hot superhero... no, not that one, and Ryan and Hugh are giving maximum effort!…

To all of you: don’t worry, we are going to get through this and have a thoughtful discussion in good faith about queer representation in Marvel.

Howard Stark has played a supporting role in the stories of Iron Man, Captain America, and Agent Carter, but what is his story? Caroline and Bridgette argue that Howard is a more complex and ultimately tragic character than he’s initially made out to be - both by his son and by fandom. Cynical and heroic, secretly kind and not-so-secretly in love with Steve, Howard struggles with self-esteem and communication issues all his life. We hypothesize about how Howard and Tony’s vastly different generations, class backgrounds, and emotional needs contribute to their fraught relationship. We also look at Howard’s other relationships throughout the MCU movies and television series. And Bridgette throws in a Pride & Prejudice reference for good measure.…

Season 2 of What If…? flips our expectations of who’s a hero and who’s a villain in another inventive slate of episodes. We start our season recap with an overview of themes, including light vs. darkness, the power of friendship, and becoming more than a tool for another person’s ends. Then we do a deep dive analysis for every episode from Nebula Blade Runner, to 80s Avengers, to Marvel Die Hard, to Kahhori in Sky World, and more. We laugh, we cry, we rant! We conclude with a broader look at the series’ place in the MCU and address Sam Wilson’s absence from the series along with fandom hate toward Peggy Carter. Brace yourselves, because this is the longest episode in the history of Nerd Alert Girls. In our defense, it’s our favorite Marvel series and it got dumped on us all at once over the holidays!

Once again, the Guardians prove that a small-scale, deeply personal conflict can feel as high-stakes as a space battle. We’re concluding the trilogy with laughs, tears, and all the feels—but did we expect anything less? Bridgette and Genn discuss Rocket’s rise as a protagonist and leader, Peter getting closure about Gamora, and why the High Evolutionary is such an effective villain.

Before she was Captain Carter, her name was simply… Agent. From her first appearance on Captain America: The First Avenger, Peggy Carter been a fan favorite and a groundbreaking female character that breaks free of the “love interest” archetype. Today, Caroline and Bridgette revisit how the Agent Carter television series fleshed out her character alongside an eclectic, multifaceted cast and explored complex themes of war, grief, and what it means to be a woman in the past and present. Additionally, Bridgette shares her wild theory about how Bradley Whitford’s character Flynn could hint at What If? continuing the plot threads left behind by the Agent Carter season three that never came to be. If you’re like us and waiting impatiently for Captain Carter’s next MCU appearance, read Jamie McKelvie and Marika Cresta’s Captain Carter comic series: https://www.marvel.com/comics/series/34322/captain_carter_2022 Disclaimer: occasional background noises are courtesy of Bridgette’s autistic sister. ’Tis life in our household!

Join Latina co-hosts Bridgette and Genn for a special edition of Nerd Alert Niñas in honor of Latinx Heritage Month! We break down some Latinx characters in the MCU (including the Netflix shows and Agents of SHIELD’s Slingshot miniseries). Bridgette also discusses how Frederick Luis Aldama’s book Latinx Superheroes in Mainstream Comics takes a scholarly look at Latinx representation, from the good to the bad to the stereotypes. Unfortunately, the MCU is lacking Latinx characters, so we urge them to do and be better, and for you, our dear listeners, to educate yourselves. Salud! Listen to our podcast episode from last year in celebration of Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month: https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/ZuQndflF1tb We encourage you to support indie bookstores if you're interested in buying Latinx Superheroes in Mainstream Comics by Frederick Luis Aldama or any comics featuring the characters we talked about in today's episode.
