  • Acknowledgment of the Hollywood strike and its impact on the industry

Initial thoughts:

  • Dave enjoyed “Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom,” initially rating it 8/10
  • Reassessment leads to criticism of villains, CGI quality, and film editing

Concluding Thoughts:

  • Consensus on “Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom” being average and potentially forgettable

This episode contains spoilers for Loki Season One and the first three episodes of Loki Season Two.

When we last left Loki Laufeyson, Thor’s adopted brother and regular villain of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he had caused a bit of a problem in The Sacred Timeline. Especially when one of his variants, named Sylvie, killed a figure only known as He Who Remains.

In Season Two, Loki partners up with Mobius M. Mobius, time-traveling in an attempt to save The Sacred Timeline while Sylvie tries to destroy it and live her own life. In this episode we discuss the first half of Loki and dig into where it may be going.
