Steve:

Hello, returning happys and new listeners. This is Steve Bennet-Martin, and

Stephen:

this is Stephen Martin-Bennet. And welcome to a lifetime

Steve:

of happiness. The podcast where we take you on our journey through some of the. TV shows and other bits of pop culture that are helped to keep us happy, but hopefully bring a smile to your face along the way. And

Stephen:

today we're kicking off Avengers, April with a trip back to the nineties as the Cree and the scrawl face office, we go higher, further, faster in captain Marvel. But

Steve:

first my love what's been making you happy. So

Stephen:

it's the game that I enjoy. I keep putting it down and coming back and then playing and then putting it down then coming back and playing. But I'm on a streak. I got past the first ending and now I'm into post game, I think. And it's Pokemon legends. Archaeus

Steve:

yes, the game that I beat in a week.

Stephen:

Yes. And I'm three months into it. I

Steve:

know. And I'm glad that you're still loving it. Hey, at this rate, they might have DLC out for it before you finish it.

Stephen:

There's already stuff that's out now that you

Steve:

didn't get. Well, I'm hoping that there will be officially like full story with a new area. New Pokemon announced at some point. Although, I'm sure that the team is busy getting ready for Pokemon violet and Scarlet

Stephen:

Pokemon violet. Here I come. Yes. Yeah. It's the first one where I get to tell you what Kotler or thing you're getting. Cause I'm getting the

Steve:

purple one. Yeah, obviously, meanwhile, I've been enjoying the Nintendo switch as well, a bit playing rune, factory five. Many people might have heard back in the day of the farming simulator harvest. It is by the same people who created it, but it's harvest Mooney mixed with RPG, mechanics, and it's a, it's a good romp of farming, crafting, cooking, semi life simulation, making friends with the town folk, going to Dungeons, getting weird cow monsters that then I can take home to middle.

Stephen:

This sounds totally different from Farmville, which is what, the only thing I have experienced with. Yeah.

Steve:

It's like that terms like a million times more complex than

Stephen:

awesomeness. Okay. Well that does sound good.

Steve:

Yes. And yeah, that's, what's been making me happy as has kicking off a venturous April cause I love the Avengers movies. Yep. The MCU is something that you got me into right at the beginning of our relationship, kind of a, if you want to be my lover, you got to get with my Avengers

Stephen:

and. Well, I just want to watch a, and I was like, no, you have to earn Avengers. You have to build up to it with the other movies. You fought me on it, but you agreed to it. And then was like, oh, I do like these. Yes.

Steve:

And so we're picking up where we left off. Cause we did do an original episode on the first Avengers movie by focusing a little bit more on the individuals who are making the, the newer part of the MCU as they go. From phase to phase to phase. Yes. And we're starting kind of chronologically in their timeline. Not necessarily in the order of the movies came out with this, because this is one of the newer origin stories. Correct. But at the same time, it actually takes place in the nineties, which is part of why I love it so much just because there's lots of great pop culture, throwbacks and the songs as well as blockbuster and other things that just make me think of my childhood. Why do you love the movie?

Stephen:

So I love that it's set in the nineties. I think it has an amazing soundtrack. I also love that it's a, you know, solo super hero movie about a woman because we don't often get those, you know, back in the day, you know, we had super girl which tanked at the theaters and. So nowadays, you know, we've got wonder woman the better off, if you didn't see it, wonder woman 84. Now we've got black widow and you know, and captain Marvel and. I enjoy strong women as seen from my favorite TV show Melrose place. Yes. So this was a lot of fun. It was extraordinarily well done. The effects, the story, the fights. I give it two thumbs up, but we can get into all that. But tell us a little about how it came to be. Well, it was Patrick only

Steve:

released in the U S on March 8th, 2019 as part of phase three of the MC. Also known as the Marvel cinematic universe.

Stephen:

Yep. It had a budget between 152 to 175 million and it broke records and fragile male egos everywhere with a 1.1 to 8 billion with a B box

Steve:

office. Yes, it was directed and written by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck with some help on the screenplay by Geneva Robertson. Boating and Fleck are frequent collaborators, also known for 2008 sugar, as well as it's kind of a funny story and Mississippi grind. It

Stephen:

stars Brie Larson as captain Marvel or AKA Carol Danvers, AKA

Steve:

veers,

Stephen:

AK veers that most people will know from the TV show, the United States of Tara or her Oscar winning turn in the movie.

Steve:

Yes. It also has returning heroes, Samuel L. Jackson, as Nick fury and Clark Gregg as Phil Colson and new heroine Leshanna Lynch as Maria Rambo.

Stephen:

Now Sam Jackson is in everything. And if you don't know who he is, that's your own damn fault. Clerk Gregson has had a lot of supporting roles in film and TV. But then he became a household name as agent Colson.

Steve:

Yeah. Lynch rose to fame and Shonda Rhimes short-lived period drama still star-crossed after smaller roles in other shows like crims

Stephen:

and other names to faces that you might recognize include Ben Mendelsohn as Talos and Keller. Your mom home to as coreth Lee pace as Ronan, the acute. Gemma Chan as Minerva Jude law. Is it yawn, Rog and Annette Benning as the Supreme intelligence and Marvell, AKA Dr. Wendy

Steve:

Lawson. Yes. And according to MDB, the movie is summarized as Carol Danvers becomes one of the universe's most powerful heroes when earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races. Not bad, not bad at all. And we know Carol Danvers from the comics don't we? We

Stephen:

do. But back whenever, you know, we were first introduced to her and how she most plays into our X universe, she was going by a different name. Yes.

Steve:

She was going by binary. Ms. Marvel or miss Marvel with some issues with our, one of our favorite, X-Men on the current team rogue. Yes. But yeah, Carol Susan Jane, Dan verse, cause you can never have too many first names. No was created by writer, Roy Thomas and artist, Jean Colon. First appearing as an officer in the us air force as a colleague of the crease superhero Marvel in Marvel superheroes. Number 13 in March of 1968.

Stephen:

Yes, 68. So that is five years after the X-Men came to be because they were in 1963. Danvers later became the first incarnation of Ms. Marvel in Ms. Marvel. Number one in January, 1976. After her DNA was fused with Marvin during an explosion, giving her superhuman powers kind of sorta similar. Yeah. Hint, that's kind of what happens here.

Steve:

Yeah. Yes. Throughout her time in her own series, as well as team books, like the Avengers and the X men, she also, as we mentioned, went by binary Warbird and captain

Stephen:

Marvel. She's actually the seventh holder of the title. Captain Marvel only gaining the title in July, 2012 with Monica Rambo, actually being the second. Captain Marvel after the O G Marvell back in 1982. Yeah. And

the

Steve:

overall plot of the movie is loosely inspired by the crease scroll war, as you can kind of tell with where the plot goes. And that that story arc was written by Roy Thomas from June, 1971 through March of 1972. And that's also notable for being the originating story of the Scarlet, which envisioned romance, which has become so huge, both in comics and in the MCU. Yes. 100%. But yeah, let's go back to the movie itself. Cause that's what people are here to hear us talk about.

Stephen:

Are they, or are they just like to hear our voices? I think both. So in 1995, on the Cree Empire's capital planet of holla warrior and star force member veers suffers from recurring nightmares involving an older woman, protecting her from an unseen. Yon Rog, her mentor and commander warns her to control her abilities while the Supreme intelligence and organic artificial intelligence who acts as the ruler of the CRE urges her to keep her emotions in check.

Steve:

Yeah. And what do you think about the first female protagonist of Marvel who gets an origin movie? Having spent the entire movie being told that her emotions are too dangerous to slow down and to control herself. Typical somewhat problematic, but

Stephen:

also, I mean, I mean, it's also, you're talking about the patriarchy and you're talking about misogyny and you know, the also you she's a character from the sixties and seventies when that was a lot more in play and even. It's taken how long for like solo superhero movies, starring a woman to really happen and be successful.

Steve:

Yeah. And I mean, with that, I mean now, and we've had black widow and Scarlet, which had her own TV series, but what do you think of like, rather than using an existing female Avenger starting. A new one, like captain Marvel.

Stephen:

I think that actually this worked better because you were able to set up her own mythology, her own story and then tie that in as it needed to be it also the way they did it help to fill in some plot holes with how the MCU came to be. I think it worked probably better. With a character that a lot of people weren't familiar with than somebody that we had already seen for awhile, like black libido or Scarlet, witch less expectations and things like that. Yeah. And,

Steve:

While we were watching it, you used the term I wasn't familiar with, what's a Mary Jane. And why does in sales thing, captain Marvel.

Stephen:

So, and and I said that wrong. It's a Mary Sue. Okay.

Steve:

Mary Jane has marijuana and

Stephen:

also Spiderman his wife, Mary Sue I'm. Mary Sue is a derogatory term related to a fictional character. Usually a young woman who her critics believe is unrealistically free of weakness. Thus that character is dismissed for any talents and. They might have characters who've been referred to as Mary Sue's, besides captain Marvel are like Ray from star wars, Katniss, Everdeen. But also they used him to describe people like Harry Potter and Luke Skywalker. It's interesting that, you know, they don't use it to describe people like. Who was a literal God literal God. And other than the time his father said, you know, you're unworthy, you can't lift. The hammer has no issue at all being the literal God of thunder. So it's definitely a very sexist thing. It's definitely, you know, you've got your mom's basement, computer warriors who. I have issues with the women being as strong as the men. And so they come up with names for it and then shit all over them. And they did that with captain Marvel and I have no tolerance for it and it doesn't make us happy. It does not make us happy. And I'm willing to have that discussion with anybody, but I have feeling that our fan base actually doesn't fall into that category.

Steve:

I don't think so either. I think wrong demographic. I mean, I'm playing slight devil's advocate. I can see the, how at the end of the movie, she is so powerful that it is like hard to imagine where to go from here. But I think that that's what we'll see with how they handle marvels.

Stephen:

Right. But one of the things that you see at the end. Is she still getting smacked around? Like even after she takes the chip off, like she may be strong, but it doesn't mean people aren't getting their shots in.

Steve:

Yes. Now back to the movie while working with official Rhone in the acute. Who is the bad guy we know from guardians of the galaxy, which we'll cover next week. They're working with him to rescue an undercover spy. And during that mission, veers is abducted and subjected to a memory pro by a group of scrolls alien shapeshifters with whom that create empire is at war,

Stephen:

the Cree are working for Ronan. And as you said, you know, we know he's a bad guy, which should be our first hint, that something isn't right.

Steve:

Yes. And I get confused having two new alien races in one movie. The difference between the Cree and the scroll all the time. So I try and remember that CRI are the blue ones. Scroll are the green ones that can also shape shift.

Stephen:

Yes. Marvel was very nice to color code our alien races for.

Steve:

Yes, not so great with human races, but it works for aliens now, how are they different in this movie than what you know of them in the comics? So, so

Stephen:

in the more recent stories, the CRI wall, sometimes being problematic are seen as less evil and people that are read the comics and may have seen that misbegotten show on ABC, the Inhumans. The CRI are responsible for the Inhumans, you know, mixing CRE DNA with human DNA generations ago. And the scrawl are usually portrayed as villains, including in the large storyline secrets invasion, which is currently being adapted for Disney plus.

Steve:

Yes. And now during the memory probe, we learn a little bit more about veers. We learned she's from earth and was an air force. They pushed her too hard and searching her memories of Dr. Lawson though. And Vera's breaks. The controlling wakes up. She's able to escape after leaving the scrawl ship and an escort pod crash landing on AKA earth, the Terran Homeworld and right into a blockbuster.

Stephen:

Now you found something really interesting about that whole blockbuster scene. Yes, it happened

Steve:

almost a blink if you miss it. But when veers does land in blockbuster, she shoots through the face of Arnold Schwartzenegger from true lies, but that was supposed to be of Jim carries the mask with her mistaking, the green face for that of a scrawl. The filmmakers couldn't secure the rights from Warner brothers though, as they are competitors to the MCU.

Stephen:

And also it makes me wonder. You know, at that point, like Terminator and stuff was out at that time. I w I don't know who the filmmakers are for Terminator two, but that would have been a really good moment. The robot face too, but probably also Warner brothers, I don't know while sending her an SOS to her team, thanks to technology gotten from a radio shack. So just so everyone knows. You can contact other galaxies with things found at a radio shack.

Steve:

Oh, I wish radio shack was still

Stephen:

a thing. Her presence attracts the attention of shield agents, Nick fury and Phil Colson, whose investigation is interrupted by a scroll attack in the ensuing chase, veers recovers, a crystal containing our memories and a fury kill and, and fury kills the scrawl impersonating Colts. Fury later meets and agrees to work with veers while scroll commander tallows disguises himself as shield operative Keller. There was a whole lot going on in this scene. And the best part was this fight on the commuter train between the old woman and veers because the scroll has changed. Looks to try to hide from veers and she bumps into the old lady. And then when she's on the train, she sees the old lady she's like, oh, I know. And all these people on the train, just see this woman in a leather suit, haul off and hit an old woman. And they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa. And then the old woman gets up, does some par core and starts fighting back. And so you've got this thing where veers is fighting the old woman, and then the people in the train are still like you can't beat

Steve:

up an old woman. Meanwhile, the old woman is quite formative. Yeah. In part due to the fact that sh while Brie Larson has a stunt double, obviously the older woman is a stunt double as well, and they are stunned tumbling sisters.

Stephen:

I think that's fantastic that this double sisters got to beat up on each other and be in one of the most exciting. Scenes in the movie.

Steve:

Yes. And around the scene, we also get to meet a fury and Colson. Now these are characters that are already well-established in the MCU, but we're getting to see them as kind of their origin stories with a fury being like, well, both. Extremely gray. I believe they've mentioned Colson's been on the job for like less than a couple of months while fury is, you know, his personality is much different. He's looser. You could tell he hasn't been through a lot of the shit that he's been through now. Right?

Stephen:

Because at that point, fury doesn't believe in alien races. Well Colson, you can already see is putting things together. He, he already has that. I'm going to do what's right. Type of mentality, trust my gut, which I love Colson. He's fantastic. And it's interesting to see a more joking

Steve:

fury. Yes. Especially cause his like re like his, that he has with captain Marvel. Like they really bounce off of one another really well. And I

Stephen:

hope we get to see that later because it's definitely a different dynamic that he has with. Then anybody else in the MCU? Yeah.

Steve:

Yes. Now veers tries to follow locations from our fragmented memory before meeting up with. And after getting to know you, as they head off to Pegasus using his sicklier security clearance.

Stephen:

So as we were saying, the chemistry between Brie and Sam Jackson is palpable. Like you can tell they had a good time working with each other, and that helps us to sell the movie because as veers is getting her memories back and getting touch with her emotions again, after six years of being told. Tamp those down and don't, you know, use them, bury them and be like

Steve:

tampon those down. No,

Stephen:

her interactions with fury are helping to humanize the character, which is another thing that the, her detractors, meaning Brie Larson and captain Marvel were on like, well, her characterization of captain Marvel was so robotic and there was no emotion. Yeah, it's in the script. Yeah. Like it's right

Steve:

there. Yes. And what was also funny in this script was when fury is insisting that everyone calls him fury, even as Mt. Calls him ferry and he calls his mom fury and no one ever calls him Nicholas or Nick. Meanwhile in modern day we see the, or is like Tony and Steve column, Nick all the time. Yeah.

Stephen:

So we get to the Pegasus thing and veers learned. She was a pilot who is presumed to have died six years earlier while testing and experimental Lightspeed engine designed by scientists to windy Lawson, who she recognized as the woman from our nightmares and also who she sees as the Supreme intelligence. And thanks to Colson the, to escape after. Keller slash tallows confronts them with Lawsons cat goose, stowing away. And they pilot a small cargo jet to Louisiana to find her friend Maria Rambo. Yes. Now

Steve:

goose is named after goose Bradshaw from top gun. While in the comics goose exists as a character named Shui after Chewbacca.

Stephen:

And you told me that Bri is allergic to cat.

Steve:

Yes. And so therefore her scenes involving goose were all filmed with either a puppet or a computer generated special effects.

Stephen:

Now Colson small part in this movie further proves to me that he's the best superhero in the MCU. Like I love. His part in phase one, I loved him in agents of shield. And this was a nice way to see again, that he's kind of. I dunno. I always saw him as the heart of the

Steve:

MCU. Yes. And with that, I mean, I would even correct you there a little bit, in my opinion, that he's not the best superhero, because part of what makes him so amazing is that he's not a superhero, that he is just a hero. So I would say he's the best hero, but not the best superhero, because part of what makes them specialists as humans. I think he's super well. Veer is in fury need up with Maria Rambo and her young daughter, Monica, for some more exposition where Maria reveals via his real name is Carol Danvers. And I can stop saying veers cause when I'm reading it in our outline, it's spelled verse and I just think of something else.

Stephen:

And you know, she helps her fill in some gaps in her memory and these scenes again, while filling in the memory of this. Also, we're helping Carol to get her emotions back and she has excellent chemistry with the actress playing Maria, which they're supposed to, because they're supposed to be best friends. And she also

Steve:

has great chemistry with Monica, the daughter.

Stephen:

Yeah. And so, you know, there's always speculation. What are your. Personal head cannon on Maria and Carol, just best friends fighting the patriarchy or lesbian others.

Steve:

I think that they're best friends. I think that, yeah, I can totally see Carol, like scissoring, but I don't know about Maria. I think that they were just friends. No. It's. Yeah, it's only in the Avengers when she gets her, her Butch haircut that I think that becomes a little more believable, but yes, tallows who attractor arrives in Essex to speak or parlay using the black box recorder of Lawson's crashed. Damn has learns an alien spaceship had shot it down. And then she has a memory come up of Yon, Rog, killing Lawson, as well as Lawson's warning that the experimental engines energy Corp has to be destroyed to keep it from getting into the wrong hands. Carol shot it and was caught in the ensuing explosion with her body. Absorbing the energy on rock brings her back as the amnesiac veers, the remaining portion of Dan verse on her broken dog tag. Lawson had said the engine was not to win wars, but to stop worse.

Stephen:

And that's really interesting that, you know, you had somebody that was Cree that was killed by a CRE because she was trying to stop a Cree war. And there's a lot that really goes on in there. You know, in Von Rog and had thing said, you know, we brought you back to home. We gave you these powers. When in actuality we see right here, they had no like nothing to do with giving her those powers. That's from the engine and things. One of my favorite parts of this scene is when Talos calls Maria Young lady and Maria response, call me young lady again. And I'm going to put my foot in a place where it's not supposed to be. And he's like, I don't know what that is. And fury and. Carol at both sound like your ass, she hands your ass. The movie does a great job with small moments to show character strength and personality. Like we already like Maria at this point because. We, because we like Carol and we like their friendship together, but then this also shows us that Maria is not someone to mess with.

Steve:

Yes. And we see the more of that later because the telos explains the crawls are, are simply refugees. And Lawson's engine was to help escort them, but beyond crazy. Tell us, his science guy needs a Knight to repurpose the cargo jet while the team bond. And Monica helps Carol adjust her

Stephen:

uniform. Now, something that's kind of interesting is that the cargo jet, by the time it's done resembles that Quinjet yes, I, which I think is fantastic. So there, whenever Mo little Monica is helping. Adjust your uniform to new colors. Cause she doesn't want to wear the Cree colors anymore. There's a whole bunch of different color changes going on. There's some significance there though, right?

Steve:

Yes. The red and yellow or call out to DCS. Captain Marvel, AKA Shizam black and gold. We know from her miss Marvel suit and white and green are the classic Cree armor in the comments.

Stephen:

And you know, if you enjoyed Monica and a hint of important role, she'll play in the upcoming movie marvels, which is the sequel to captain Marvel as well as just being a good TV show, you should go check out the Scarlet witch on Disney plus today. Yep. And then you will have a song stuck in your head for the rest of the term.

Steve:

Yes. And this podcast is not brought to you by Disney plus, but Disney plus, if you would like it to be brought to you by a please let us know.

Stephen:

Yeah, because it was Disney all along. Yeah.

Steve:

Now using coordinates Lawson had given Danvers, she along with fury, Maria and goose, who tallows is terrified of calling it a flirt game, but it's a cat. They fly, yes. They fly their squirrel modified cargo jet to a clerkship. They are, they find the source of the energy, chorus power that Tessa rack, which they store and a happy days, lunchbox and some squirrel refugees, including telos, his mate and child are living a aboard. Now

Stephen:

you have never seen happy days. Is that correct? I

Steve:

know enough to know Fonzie's catchphrase.

Stephen:

And what is Fonzie's catchphrase? Hey. No. And just for those watching, Steve has dressed up like the Fonz numerous times over the last decade,

Steve:

senior living there's oftentimes fifties theme parties. It's an easy look to throw together.

Stephen:

And he always does like anybody that seen happy days know that Fonz, his thumbs are at his waist. Eh, and Steve does it with his thumbs pretty much at a shoulder saying

Steve:

E and you think it's so hot? Every time I do giggle, maybe. Okay, go on. Yes. Now Yon rock star force. Having track them captures Danvers in places her in a virtual reality before the Supreme intelligence enraged at being used Danvers fights back and discovers that a create implant that allegedly gave her Cree powers, but instead limiting her powers that she observed from our Val and the explosive.

Stephen:

Yeah, so accessing her full force. Now, once she breaks off that little chip Danvers escapes gives the Tesseract, a fury and team where goose reveals his true nature as a FLIR kin. And it means he can sprout powerful tentacles and whose insides are kind of like a pocket dimension and he swallows the Tesseract. So. Giant mystical, powerful cube is now inside the kitty cat. Meanwhile, Carol faces off against the Starfleet while just a girl by no doubt plays perfect song choice, perfect song

Steve:

choice. It also pinpoints that this must have come in the fall to winter of 1995, because just a girl only came out like in September and

Stephen:

that kind of tracks as well, because a true lies came out in some. Of 94, which means it wouldn't have gotten to blockbuster until six months after it left theaters. So 95 is pretty accurate. Yes.

Steve:

And goose actually in the comics as chewy has the same thing where the tentacles will come out of its mouth. And it does have the pocket dimension, which are both used in the stories. Another thing that they haven't used in the movies yet, at least is how it also, when it mates or breeds, it will lay over a hundred slimy, gross a. You

Stephen:

know, I mean, I mean, at some point we're probably going to get, you know, the X-Men story with their version of like aliens and the brood and things like that, which are taken after the movie alien. I know I'm not a big fan of bunch of slimy eggs. No.

Steve:

So Rambo the team and the creative scrape, escape and Rambo suits down the pursuing Minerva. And it is

Stephen:

okay because Minerva. Later turn into Searcy and the internals. Yes.

Steve:

Danvers chases and escaping on ragging discovers to the extent of her powers also include flight. Ooh, she single-handedly destroyed the multiple ballistic missiles that Ronan called in by Yon. Rog has fired at earth and then F like flies through one of their three shifts, like breaking it to Smith early, mid the Marines, forcing Ronins forces to

Stephen:

retreat. And on earth, Dan verse quickly defeats Yon Rog. When he was, you know, he's like, oh, like, you know, if you want to prove to me that you can do it, no powers, no powers will go hand to hand. And then she zaps his ass. I mean, she has, I have nothing to prove. Which I

Steve:

loved. Yes. She sends them back to Hala with a warning to the Supreme intelligence that she's coming to end the war, the lies, all of it.

Stephen:

Ha yeah. Yes. Fury ends up getting a small scratch to the eye from goose, which he insists will be just fine.

Steve:

Which we know better. And now we know how he lost his eye.

Stephen:

Yeah. Even though he tells people that the Cree burnt out as I, yes.

Steve:

The universe agrees to help the scrolls find a new home worlds, giving fury and modified pager with which to contact her in an emergency which we know is used during the blip yet, when that

Stephen:

happens just before he blips. He hits the button and we see her little logo that was on her chest light up on the pager that he was holding.

Steve:

Yes. But before that happens, fury later drafts a proposal for an initiative, changing the name after fighting a photo of Danvers, old call sign, which was

Stephen:

avenge. And you know, that pissed off people too.

Steve:

Yes. Now in present day, mid credit scene, Danvers meets Avengers, Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanov, roofs, spanner, and James Rhodes, who are monitoring the pager theory, had activated a myths, the blip leading us into Avengers end game.

Stephen:

Yup. And then the end credits flashback scene goose costs up the Tesseract and we all know the problems that causes later on.

Steve:

And so final thoughts on the movie, babe.

Stephen:

I loved it. I enjoy like when we saw it at the movie theater, I really enjoyed it. It was a good time. I enjoyed it more this time around even looking at it with a critical eye. It was just done really well. The acting was done well, every scene hit the right notes. I felt it needed to hit. I liked seeing, you know, this less hardened version of fury before all the shit went down. So that was nice to see You know, all in all, like, I have no issues with this movie and I am very much looking forward to Marvel's later that we'll have when 20,

Steve:

23 or 2024, who knows. Yeah.

Stephen:

Cause it'll have. And it's going to have the new Ms. Marvel that has her own Disney plus show. I believe coming out June 28th of this summer Kamala

Steve:

Khan. Yes. Yes. Excellent. And before that, you don't have to wait too long for more vendors, because this is just the start of our four week Avengers covering next week we are staying in space as we cover guardians of the galaxy.

Stephen:

That is the movie that has the best soundtrack. Yes.

Steve:

And until that time, every. Stay happy. Oh. And you can find us on all the socials at happy life pod. And you can also email us at happy life. Pottage gmail.com.

Stephen:

Nope. They're already staying happy. We missed the PO. Nope. They're staying. Find us.

Steve:

I.
