After covering some listener feedback, and having a conversation about the nature of "spoilers," we talk about the Marvel television shows that have recently wrapped up their seasons.
SPOILER ALERT - we talk in detail about the shows, all of the episodes that have aired, and our conjectures, predictions, and crazy theories about what may happen in the future. You have been warned.
If you want to avoid spoilers about a specific show, here are approximate start times for conversation about each show (and the one movie) we cover in this episode.
28:00 - Powers
32:00 - Agent Carter
43:00 - Avengers: Age of Ultron
48:00 - Marvel's Agents of SHIELD
53:00 - Daredevil

Hey Professor and Emily,
ReplyDeleteI had a blast listening to this episode of the podcast with your Marvel TV roundup. Admittedly, I skipped over the section on POWERS because I, like most people, did not watch the show.
I had to chime in on this episode because of one of Alan's comments about Daredevil. While I agree with you two on just about every other point, I can't believe that S.H.I.E.L.D. or the Avengers would take an interest in Wilson Fisk's escape in episode 13. Fisk wasn't a metahuman, or a war criminal, he was barely the Kingpin we recognize from the comics. He was a supposedly legitimate businessman with some minor political aspirations. Nick Fury wouldn't send Captain America if Bernie Madoff escaped from federal custody.
I did binge watch the show the first day it came out, although circumstances allowed me this luxury. I didn't have to work that Friday and the wife was going out of town that weekend, so I dropped her off at the airport and started watching Daredevil at roughly 9:00 AM and finished the season at two or three the next morning. I don't know if I could ever do this again, because it was exhausting.
Releasing the Netflix shows one episode a day for two weeks would be interesting. I wonder if it would force the show to reflect more of the traditional cliffhanger model.
Beyond that--another great episode! I cracked up at the "Shake It Off" bit at the end.
