He and Mobius turn to a technician, OB to help them... but the cure is more dangerous than the condition. Meanwhile, the TVA deals with the news that they've been killing millions of people as they pruned timelines.

  • Werewolf By Night FULL DISCLOSURE REVIEW
    Oct 20 2022

    #MCUHQ is back and getting in on #MonsterCast fun with a #FullDisclosure breakdown of the MCU's forray into old school horror #WerewolfByNight. This film came out last Halloween and has quickly become one of the MCU's most loved properties. It combines old-school horror with the typical Marvel flair and makes for an exciting new character and world for our favorite heroes to interact with. Jeremy & Brandon are here to break it all down.
    On a dark and somber night, a secret cabal of monster hunters emerges from the shadows and gathers at the foreboding Bloodstone Temple following the death of their leader. In a strange and macabre memorial to the leader's life, the attendees are thrust into a mysterious and deadly competition for a powerful relic--a hunt that will ultimately bring them face to face with a dangerous monster.

    WEREWOLF BY NIGHT is available NOW on Disney+ & Hulu.

  • She-Hulk: Attorney At Law Episode 9 - Whose Show Is This?
    Oct 14 2022

    The next episode of MCU HQ is continuing our watch-along of She-Hulk with Episode 9: "Whose Show Is This?". Well folks we have arrived at the season finale and it is one for the history books. Jen finds herself on the wrong side of the law after her rageful reaction to the Intelligencia's attack at the Gala. As such she finds herself unable to use her powers as the shadowy group makes their play. But Jen isn't sure this is how her story is supposed to end. In the kind of meta, self-aware insanity that defines the comics, Jen finds herself face-to-face with the true power behind the MCU and uses her opportunity to craft an ending she chooses; not someone else. This finale is full of amazing moments and sets up some big beats for the future of the MCU. Lets break it all down!

    FEATURING: Jeremy Goeckner, Philip Orona & Jacqueline Keysear

  • She-Hulk: Attorney At Law Episode 8 - Ribbit and Rip It
    Oct 7 2022

    The next episode of MCU HQ is continuing our watch-along of She-Hulk with Episode 8: "Ribbit and Rip It". THIS IS NOT A DRILL PEOPLE! Daredevil himself has entered the fray! Jen is put into a difficult position when a wealthy client's son, Eugene Patillio (AKA Leapfrog) wants to sue the maker of his super suit which he claims malfunctioned. That maker is none other than Jen's own suit-maker and casual friend Luke Jacobson. Things get extra spicy when Luke hires Matt Murdock himself to defend him. Things get EVEN MORE spicy when Eugene kidnaps Luke and Jen and Matt must work together to get him back. What seems like triumph though turns tragic as the Female Lawyer of the Year Gala is attacked in a way that will change the way the world sees She-Hulk forever. Is this the best romance in the MCU? Are we getting yellow Daredevil for the foreseeable future? IS IT POSSIBLE TO HATE JOSH MORE?!?! Let's break it all down!

    FEATURING: Jeremy Goeckner, Philip Orona & Jacqueline Keysear

  • She-Hulk: Attorney At Law Episode 6 - Just Jen
    Sep 23 2022

    The next episode of MCU HQ is continuing our watch-along of She-Hulk with Episode 6: "Just Jen". That's right folks! It's a self-contained wedding episode at the best possible time! Jen is enlisted to be a bridesmaid for her childhood family friend Lulu. But Lulu does not want attention drawn away from her so asks Jen to not be She-Hulk for the weekend; which continues to get complicated with the attendance of Titania. Back in California, Nikki and Mallory handle the complicated divorces of Mr. Immortal Craig Hollis; who chooses to kill himself and resurrect rather than deal with confrontation. But both adventures turn serios as a new threat to She-Hulk emerges from the shadows. Are we trusting Josh at all? Is Lulu just messing with Jen at this point? Who is the HulkKing? And is the Intelligencia real or just an easter egg? Let's break it all down!

    FEATURING: Jeremy Goeckner, Philip Orona & Jacqueline Keysear
