NOTE: The Episode contains an important update about the future of the podcast at the end.
Join your host Garhdo as they return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe after a series of less of recent critical and commercial underperformance to attempt to answer the question of if it is starting to fail? People have been predicting it for years, expecting the superhero movie bubble to burst, and many expect that time has come, although Garhdo isn’t quite as convinced. They will give their thoughts on all of the recent releases, hypothesise about what has caused Marvel Studios’s recent issues, and ponder about the future of this universe.
