Such a poser! Host TK is joined by “Madame” Amy, one of the hosts of The Marvelous Madames podcast to discuss the big ideas of Black Widow. 
 
In this part, we talk about the timing and context of the film, consider how the character’s portrayal over the years serves as an intriguing case study in the evolution of female superheroes, and share our likes and dislikes about the movie.
 
Then (29:30), we get into the “There Was An Idea…” treatment and discuss our first big idea: identity. We examine the development of Natasha’s identity story, including the impact of her early years on her journey toward becoming an Avenger and how this movie embraces the human being behind the moniker “Black Widow.” 
 
Stay tuned for part two!

Note: This episode contains spoilers for Black Widow as well as other installments in the MCU.

392: Cowboy Bebop

I know what happens. I was there. This week TK digs into the big ideas of episode 1 of Hawkeye, "Never Meet Your Heroes."

I am so excited for this series, bro! The first episode alone ticks so many of the boxes for what makes a successful MCU show. Listen to hear me reflect on this and the emerging themes of the series. 

How does Clint's relationship to New York reflect his legacy? What do Clint Barton and Kate Bishop have in common? What does the mantle of "Hawkeye" mean? There's so much to dig into that I could do this all daaaaaaay.
