In true Pop! Pop! form we all got a little busy (Joel got stuck in the UK) so this podcast is going to be about the first 2/3rds of the new Hawkeye show. Clint Barton goes street level in the new D+ show based on a comic by Matt Fraction and there's loads to love here. Clint & Kate's chemistry is absolutely electric and there are cameos galore to be had!

Eternals is out and has been getting a lot of flack from reviewers; we break down who liked it, who didn't, and if the critics are right. And, as always, it wouldn't be a Pop! Pop! episode if we didn't talk about Spider-Man... So thankfully, a whole-ass new trailer came out for NWH and yeah... Joel loves it.

DCFandome was last weekend (the weekend prior? I don't know) and we got a fuckload of trailers as always (one other time) but the one that the whole world really cared about was The Batman trailer. R-Pattz debuts his Batman voice and we get a much deeper look at the world of The Batman compared to the first teaser. Let's just say... we are all pleased. AND THEN! Everyone saw Dune... there are some differing opinions about this movie here, so better to just tune in and listen for yourself! (Joel loved it)

Lots going on in this episode folks, but the first thing is LAUREN IS BACK FROM THE UK! We're back in Taylor's garage for our first in-person podcast in over a year! Damn it feels good. We finish up ... What If? and talk about the finale & what season 2 could look like as well as talk about an episode that never made it to air. Lauren and Joel saw Venom: Let There Be Carnage (sadly) and I'm sure you can guess how it was received... and to round it all out, the entire gang saw No Time to Die 30 minutes before this podcast was recorded. What happens to Bond? Who's going to be the NEXT Bond!? WHY is Bond!? All these questions answered and more in this week's episode!

Marvel's Phase 4 OFFICIALLY kicks off (theatrically) with Shang Chi, and holy shit does it deliver some kick-ass action and one of the better origin stories in the MCU to date. We also revisit the world of weird in the next two episodes of ... What If?

Kevin Feige finally gave us peasants a crumb of happiness and released the No Way Home trailer. DOC OCK! PUMPKIN BOMB! PROBABLY, MAYBE MATT MURDOCK! There's so much to gush about in this trailer, and boy do we ever... you know how we love Spooder Mans. Also, I didn't wanna release two episodes in the same week so we also talk about the first two episodes of ... What If? Enjoy, nerds.

Look... Joel has to get a Suicide Squad tattoo, so that should tell you everything you need to know about how we felt about this movie... but maybe give it a listen for the in-depth talk. There's also some news about Scar-Jo trying to put the big Mouse in his place, and a long What We've Been Watching segment where we shit on M. Knight Shyamalan and discuss "high art films."

Technically this is Loki episode 5 AND 6, but obviously we all really wanna talk about that FINALE BABY! Also, Black Widow was released alongside Loki, so we couldn't help but make that the main event of our "what we've been watching" segment. SO MUCH MCU!

Before we get to our review of episodes 3 & 4 of Loki, in which we gush over how this show just keeps getting better, we talk about the trailer for Shang Chi and how some new Spidey merch that dropped for No Way Home hints at some possible plot details. In our Loki review we basically just theorize how Kang possibly plays into everything... and how much we love Alligator Loki.
