​Dawn and Michi recorded themselves watching the finale of Iron Fist, and you can listen along by syncing this audio track with the episode itself! While there's plenty of snark to go around, it's fairly clear that after 13 episodes our intrepid reviewers were on their last legs. For the record, Dawn's TV apparently didn't like Iron Fist either because less than two minutes in on the first run at recording, it flipped out and refused to turn back on for a good several minutes.

Iron Fist Ep13 Audio Track

Michi Trota (Uncanny Magazine, CNSC) and Matt Peters (Since Last We Spoke, Digital Dumpster Diving) take a look at the first four episodes of Marvel's The Defenders on Netflix. Taking advantage of the seeds planted throughout the previous projects, four heroes are called into action to defend New York. It's gotta be better than Iron Fist... right?

Defenders Part 1

When we last left our reviewers, Michi Trota (Uncanny Magazine, CNSC) and Matt Peters (Since Last We Spoke, Digital Dumpster Diving) were less than impressed with the first four episodes of The Defenders. In the conclusion of their 2-part audio review of the Marvel Netflix series, did our heroes (and Iron Fist) manage to pull victory from the jaws of defeat? Don't bet on it.

(Note: Michi Trota mentions an essay by Disabled People Destroy Science Fiction's Co-Editor-in-Chief Elsa Sjunneson-Henry and discussion about tropes regarding blindness and Daredevil. The essay discussing tropes about blindness and superheroes is "We Are Not Daredevil. Except When We Are Daredevil" by Michael Miriam. Elsa's essay about disability, blindness, and fiction is "I Built My Own Goddamn Castle.")
