What a long strange trip the MCU has been since we first met Marvel's Doctor Strange. A sequel was announced. A script was written. There was a change in directors. Another script was written. Then Covid delays. Then Wanda became a witch and got popular. Then rewrites, reshoots, No Way Home...could this movie EVER have lived up to the hype. Tim and David are trying to make sense of it all.

Blade II is 20 years old!! Crazy how much the Marvel Cinematic Universe has changed in that time.

He is one of the most iconic Star Wars action figures. He captured Han Solo. He is cloaked in mystery. Or...at least he was.
