Episode 67 - If You’re a Skrull, I’m a Skrull

Raise of hands of who has been watching Secret Invasion.
Because if you have been - this episode is for you, as we absolutely nerd out about the gritty and dark side of what the Skrulls have been up to.
AND if you haven't been - this episode is even more FOR you because its a more fun version of Cliff Notes, so you don't have to watch 3 hour long episodes. Who has time to do that?!
We also touch base on the NEW SET PHOTOS of Deadpool 3. There is a hell of a lot going on, including some Magento/Wanda news we've dun been knowing.

Episode 66 - Not Another Superman Movie
Friday Jul 07, 2023
Friday Jul 07, 2023
We finally recap two of most highly anticipated superhero movies of the year - THE FLASH AND ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE.
We have a lot to say, obviously. We've been patiently waiting for both of these movies since before covid times...and they delivered exceptionally.
We also came to a pretty big conclusion as to why the DC universe met their downfall. We'll be blunt. It's Amy Adams. Listen to why we blame yet another ginger for world demise.

Episode 65 - Skrull City

Wednesday Jun 28, 2023
We're back, after a very brief two month hiatus, with a TON of nerd news! So much has happened in both our lives and Marvel's but some things will never change, like the fact that Marvel still can not hire horrible male actors to portray their characters. DC continues to do the same. We digress (and continue to create our ultimate plan to put all men underground).
Secret Invasion dropped this past week and we break the first episode down. It's definitely not going to be our favorite marvel show but damn, is it good to see Nick Fury again. Trust absolutely no one. The Skrulls are taking over.

Episode 64 - Din Grogu, Orphan No More
Saturday Apr 22, 2023
Saturday Apr 22, 2023
The ReLadies are back and ready to finally breakdown everything that happened at Star Wars Celebration and more. It's a Star Wars heavy episode, as we breakdown the season three finale of The Mandalorian, and what we expect to come with our favorite daddy and gremlin combo. Bo-Katan stole the show this season and we really can't wait to see more. Will she get a spin off series? We think it may be in the cards..
Another week, another superhero getting cancelled. It seems both Marvel and DC can not get it together. We're starting to think James Gunn had the right idea but firing everyone who previously had a role in the DC verse. It'll probably be a lot easier to not have to hire Superman, kill off Superman, rehire Superman, just to fire him. We're just as confused as you are.
Anyways, who will play Reed Richards in the upcoming Fantastic Four? We think we have the final answer for you....

Episode 63 - The Way, This Is
Saturday Apr 01, 2023
Saturday Apr 01, 2023
This week's episode is dedicated to Grogu and Grogu only (please see title and read it in your best Yoda voice, you know the one where he says everything out of order, but sounds so full of wisdom)
We're more than halfway through season three of The Mandalorian and this past week, we were probably the most emotional we've been since seeing Cad Bane in The Book of Boba Fett (can someone please pull his old ass out of the bafta tank already?!?)
We got an intimate look into Grogu's escape from Coruscant during Order 66, including the fallen jedi that were killed defending him and the jedi who saved him - none other than Master Kelleran aka Ahmad Best, who played our favorite Gungan in the prequels - Jar Jar Binks.
Order 66 is never fun, yet there seems to be a dim light at the end of the tunnel and that is that more jedi may be alive and in hiding than we realize.
Bo Katan is apart of Djin's crew now and we feel the tension over what ultimately must happen: where the hell is the dark saber?
We also find out Moth Gideon is still alive? Easily predictable yet we're still about it.

Episode 62 - Taungsdays, Am I Right?
Monday Mar 20, 2023
Monday Mar 20, 2023
This past week we closed the chapter on The Last of Us, with the final 9th episode and season one finale...and not a dry eye was seen for miles on end.
Where have the past nine weeks gone?!? They were easily both the fastest and slowest weeks of our lives (ew, winter), yet we somehow found a way to make it to Sunday each week, just to get our Joel and Ellie content on. That 50 minutes on Sunday nights got us through an entire work week...and a cold winter in the midwest.
We break down the season finale of The Last of Us, compare scenes from the game vs. this final episode, and elaborate on what we think is to come for Seasons Two (and three hopefully!!)
We're still pretty early on in season three of The Mandalorian and it seems like this week they made a visit to the Andor writing room. Is there a Bo-Katan and Djin budding romance going on or are we imagining things? Either way, we're not complaining.

Tuesday Jan 31, 2023
We made it to Episode 60....and what an episode it is. We recap Episode 2 and 3 of our new favorite tv show - The Last of Us - and cry whilst doing so. This is your final warning: do not listen to this episode if you are not caught up on the epic tale of Joel and Ellie yet. We spoil literally everything in this episode, but make it fun even though everyone is dying and infected by a dumb fungus.

2023 is off to quite the start! This week we have a lot of nerd news and gossip that we just can't contain ourselves over - stay tuned for all of the gossip. We'll catch you up if you've been too deep in your seasonal depression (we haven't seen sunlight in days in Chicago and its been below 25 degrees for weeks)
We recap The Bad Batch and The Last of Us and totally fangirl over Pedro Pascal taking over the world. I mean, get this man in a Marvel movie already so we can complete the trifecta.
