Samuel L. Jackson 101: Captain Marvel

This week, The Junkies continue their in-depth look into beloved actor Samuel L. Jackson’s most iconic roles by watching Captain Marvel, arguably the Marvel movie that has the highest concentration of Nick Fury by volume. Though this movie is ostensibly about Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel/Vers, played to smirking perfection by Brie Larson, it is also the origin story for Nick Fury, the future director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Thanks to a deft de-aging effect, we see baby-faced Fury and Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) back in the grungy 1990s, investigating the appearance of the super-powered Captain Marvel, dueling aliens called Skrulls and Kree, and the fluffiest little Flerken you ought not to cuddle. Neither Alex nor Nicole are big Marvel fans, and this isn’t the movie that is going to change that, but Shauna and Hayley are down for the female empowerment and a soundtrack that never lets you forget what decade this movie is set in. You can prepare for the next class by watching Samuel L. Jackson in Glass. Thank you to Olympus Games, the home of the Pop Culture Junkie Podcast. Links: Apple Podcast:
