Show Notes

Through scheduling changes and last minute recordings, we come to you once more, bearing gifts of Norse myth and movie legend. In this episode, we parse through the comedic and the political threads of the newest offering from Marvel Studios and lament about how Tom Hiddleston's face Does The Thing. In the immortal words of the bards themselves: Valhalla, we are coming. Talking points: We almost forget this isn't supposed to be a Guillermo del Toro themed episode, #LetChrisHemsworthBeFunny, undoing character assassination, seriously how does his face Do That, the generational impact of imperialism, how you just gotta let the empire explode, economics vs exposition in story, and hey, sometimes women are just better at things.
