MS. MARVEL: "Crushed"

Is it possible that Ms. Marvel  is the best MCU TV show? Two episodes in and the answer so far is yes - but can it keep it up once the plot kicks in?

This week we talk about the episode where Kamala Khan takes her first major step as a superhero, a step clearly influenced by the 1978 Superman. This is the kind of heroism that the MCU has been sorely missing, and it's great to see it here. 

We also talk a lot about news this week, and get a little offtopic as we argue about whether or not it matters that franchises gatekeep their universes, telling bigots to get lost... and whether they actually mean it, or if Disney is just happy to take money from even the hardest core Nazi. Skip to about 48 minutes if you don't care about any of that (told you we talk a lot this week). 

We will return next week with Ms. Marvel episode three. A personal note: in this episode I talk about some stuff going on at home that might delay the release of our next episode. I hope you'll be patient with us!

Thanks for listening, see you again soon.
