About this Episode
We're going small for this podcast and talking about the latest Marvel entry at the cinema, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantummania, the latest Marvel movie on 4K, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and the question that keeps popping up for most MCU fans - will it ever get back on track after Endgame? I guess with Feige's new 80-year plan he's leaving the answer to that question in the hands of his successor(s). So Mark's going to tell us about what everybody should really be watching right now - Eight for Silver - as well as talking about The Woman King on 4K and why Picard may be good again, Tom will be reviewing Ant-Man and singing the praises of Lockwood on Netflix, whilst Simon's still training for his Rocky 4K collection review. And, apart from Wakanda 4K, I'll be talking about Alice, Darling and Empire of Light, and the final season of Carnival Row.
