Earth Station MCU Episode 54: Doctor Strange

John and Jen take a break from the usual Agents of SHIELD reviews to check out the latest MCU cinematic offering - Doctor Strange! With mind-blowing special effects and one of the most talented casts we've seen in the MCU, expectations were high for the Sorceror Supreme. Who are we to judge?  We're Earth Station MCU, and we've come to bargain!

Earth Station MCU Episode 53: Agents of SHIELD "Let Me Stand Next to Your Fire" & "Lockdown"

In this double episode of Earth Station MCU, John and Jen review both "Let Me Stand Next to Your Fire" and "Lockout". But before that, there's man-tears falling over the announcement of all female directors for season two of Jessica Jones, new casting for Defenders and Punisher, as well as confirmations from Kevin Feige on who will be in Infinity War, the possibility of future crossovers. All this and Halloween cosplay fun on this episode of Earth Station MCU! 

Earth Station MCU Episode 52: Agents of SHIELD "Uprising"

In this episode of Earth Station MCU, John and Jen recap all the news from New York Comic Con, including all the latest about Marvel's Netflix series. Sigourney Weaver will plan Defenders' big bad...but who will that be? Kevin Feige weighs in on Blade rumors, and Agent Carter returns...but not the way we were hoping. All this and a nail-biter of a SHIELD episode....even without Carrot Top! 

Earth Station MCU Episode 51: Luke Cage Season 1

Sweet Christmas! In this episode, John and Jen review the long-awaited third entry into the Netflix side of the MCU, with season one of Luke Cage. The series that broke the internet, crashing Netflix for several hours the day after it was released, earned widespread acclaim not only from geek media but also from sources as varied as the Wall Street Journal to the Christian Science Monitor, and Ebony to The Atlantic.  Featuring a large cast, three different major villains, and causing tears of outrage from internet trolls who protested the lack of racial diversity (...seriously?!), Luke Cage is among the MCU's most talked-about heroes. Tune in to hear John and Jen dissect the "bulletproof black man," revealing easter eggs, connections to the MCU, and how it stacks up against the rest of Marvel's properties.

This week's episode of Agents of SHIELD has action, intrigue, and Easter Eggs connecting current plotlines to people, places, and things from Marvel history, including the identity of the slick new Director, Jeffrey Mace. Will he be an ally or adversary to the team? Inhuman, monster, or both?

Earth Station MCU Episode 49: Agents of SHIELD "The Ghost"

Hello Marvel Universe!

With the addition of Robbie/Ghost Rider, as well as Dr. Radcliffe becoming a main-cast character, we have a lot of cool stuff coming up this season. And can we talk about those effects? Did they blow the whole season's budget on this episode? All this, and casting news on Ragnorok, the Russos on the lack of death in Civil War, Luke Cage, and some unconfirmed but very interesting rumors about Red Skull and Punisher...

Earth Station MCU: Episode 47 - Captain America: Civil War

Earth Station MCU: Episode 46 - Agents of SHIELD "The Team" and "The Singularity"

On this week's Earth Station MCU, we have another supersized double-header episode, as John and Jen discuss the Agents of SHIELD episodes, "The Team" and "The Singularity". And news - so much news! Inhumans is shelved, Punisher is getting his own solo series, WHIH is back with more in-world Marvel news - did you hear Pym Tech is having layoffs, and that General Ross is retiring? Oh, and there's some movie coming out this weekend. We figure we'll check it out and see if it's any good... 

Earth Station MCU: Episode 45: Agents of SHIELD "Paradise Lost"

On this week's episode of Earth Station MCU...OK, there was a lot of news. Feige comments on crossovers and Phase 4, there's casting news for Iron Fist and Ragnorok, more characters added to Infinity War...and oh yeah, there was a trailer for Doctor Strange. Perhaps you saw it?  It blew John and Jen out of their keds like a kick in the Chi from the Ancient One. On Agents of SHIELD, we get some Malick family history, Hive (Wive? Hoard?) shows his true form, and we get the fight of the year between May and Giyera.
