Bill vs. The MCU: Phase V Part 2 - Secret Invasion, Loki S2, & The Marvels

Hello and welcome to Bill vs the MCU! Each month your hosts⁠⁠ Pop Break Podcasting Director Alex Marcus⁠⁠ and⁠⁠ Pop Break Editor in Chief Bill Bodkin⁠⁠ are taking another step into the wider Marvel Multiverse as the MCU dives deeper into their Multiverse Saga. Bill & Alex spent all of 2022 rewatching the first four phases of the MCU, and they spent most of 2023 covering ⁠Netflix’s The Defenders Saga⁠, and the first four seasons of ⁠Marvel's Agents of SHIELD⁠. Now it is finally time again to check in with the MCU Phase V. That’s right, Bill & Alex are covering the Disney Plus original series Secret Invasion and Loki S2 and the theatrical film The Marvels.  If you are looking for larger commentary on the “is the MCU over?” discourse that has been going viral online recently, you won’t find it here, as the guys focus their attentions exclusively to these three projects this month. However, if you would like to hear more on the bigger picture, past guest Derick McDuff had Alex on his podcast ⁠Infinity Stone & Dragon Bones⁠ last month talking about just that, and you can subscribe to Bill’s ⁠Socially Distanced⁠ podcast, where he has covered Marvel fatigue headlines and episode by episode deep dives with his co-hosts and special guests on a weekly basis. Secret Invasion & Loki S2 are available to stream on⁠⁠ Disney+⁠⁠. The Marvels is available in theaters now.
