Captain America: Civil War (2016) with Chance Freytag (+ "Brave New World" Discussion)

To merely label this as a podcast episode about the 2016 film Captain America: Civil War would be both misrepresentative and deeply reductive of what these three and a half (3.5) hours hold. What once started as a bit to unethically force our dear friend Chance Freytag to rewatch Civil War and watch the newest MCU entry, Captain America: Brave New World, with us evolved into something much grander. From Moby Dick to Stalker (1979, dir. Tarkovsky) to what a movie actually is and the impact it can have on someone’s life, this episode is a sprawling piece of introspection and personal reckoning for Chris, Mateo, and Chance. This episode has more in common with an average telehealth appointment than a typical recorded MCU discussion. This release of this film was a pivotal moment in the moviegoing careers of all three of the fellas, and they reflect on everything that has transpired in the industry and their lives in film since. You don’t have to have even seen the film to listen to the pre watch to this ep (clocking in at ~1.5hr itself). Come join us.
