Denis V's Dune: The Anne and Matt Spoilercast Spectacular

In this very special episode, Anne and Matt break down the new Dune movie from two very different perspectives. Matt approaches it as a relatively new fan who's read the first book and has a passing knowledge of the Dune universe. Anne, on the other hand, lends her perspective as a complete newcomer to the series. They'll discuss the movie, the music, the cinematography, Oscar Isaac's incredible hair and beard, bagpipe music, and the tragic fate of House Atreides. PLUS: creepy space witches, the influence of Dune on other science fiction sagas, Zendaya in a music video, and how pairing a normal first name like "Duncan" with a state like "Idaho" makes for a really good laugh. Note: This podcast was recorded the day before Dune: Part Two got the green light

The Accidental MCU Show

Anne and Matt return from a long podcast layoff to discuss their return to movie theaters, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe dominates the discussion. Find capsule reviews of Fast 9, Black Widow, Snake-Eyes, Jungle Cruise and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings before we enter the Spoiler Zone (the cue is to listen for the Will Ferrell "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!" drop). They discuss What If? on Disney+, along with Loki, the upcoming Hawkeye series, The Eternals, and Spider-Man: No Way Home. In What Are You Reading, What Are You Writing, topics include Only Murders in the Building on Hulu, Stephen Fry's historical podcasts, and Matt as Clive Owen as King Arthur as Bill Clinton for the new FX show Impeachment: American Crime Story.  * Intro and Powerade Zero Sugar 00:00-4:00 * At the Movies: 4:00-15:18 * Thus Begins the MCU show (spoilers ahoy for Shang-Chi and Black Widow!): 15:18-31:54 * Loki: 31:554-36:39 * What If?, Hawkeye, and Spider-Man: No Way Home, and the Eternals 36:39-58:02 * What Are You Reading?

MORTAL KOMBAT! plus Captain America and Sergeant Barnes

In this episode, the hosts discuss the new Mortal Kombat movie and give their take on the recently completed six-episode run of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier on Disney+. Points of discussion include the necessity of POV character in the MK movie, the MCU's attempt to grapple with the real-world impact of Thanos' snap, Anne's pervasive dislike of John Walker, and the lunacy of just handing the Captain America title to some military guy. Plus: Matt languishes in the minors in MLB The Show 21, Kano says the F-word a lot, and a brief discussion of diet soda.
