Sting of the (Black) Widow

It’s official!  Phase 4 of the GPU (Guys of a certain age Podcast Universe, in case you’ve forgotten or never knew) has begun!  Ok, maybe not  But Phase 4 of the MCU - a slightly more famous universe - has definitely begun.  Finally, another Marvel movie has hit theaters, and The Guys showed up to see Black Widow.  Spoiler alerts abound.   Though there are definitely Phase 3 carryovers in this kick-off movie, The Guys agree that it was a good overall offering from Feige and Fam: action, ancestry, and angst that Marvel weaved into a solid origin story, as well as opportunities to branch the franchise.   Despite the importance of this moment, The Guys give plenty of due to Geeks of the Week and more, with super-parodies, musical docs, and a new trailer for Robbie’s candidate for best science fiction story of all time. Robbie also gives respect to a mid-western violinist, then they go completely off the rails talking about billionaires in space. Just another day at the podcast.
