Marvel Fandom Podcast by Puny Pod

They skipped a month. The Marvel universe did not. This month on Puny Pod, the MCU rewatch podcast that covers the Marvel Cinematic Universe in release order, Ryan and David are back with the August 2026 Bugle — and after a month off, there is a lot to get through. This is the Thanksgiving episode. You have been fasting. There is food on the table. The headliner is a full review of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. They go spoiler-free first — box office numbers, reception, a basic lay of the land — and then the guardrails come off. Four years after No Way Home, Peter Parker is alone, anonymous, and quietly mutating. Ryan and David dig into what that means for the character, what Sadie Sink is actually doing in this movie, why the Punisher and Spider-Man dynamic worked, what the Hulk showing up meant for the story, and why this might be the best MJ has ever been on screen. Plus: the Department of Damage Control, Ned's conspiracy board, and the most aggressive product placement in recent Marvel memory. Then it's on to San Diego Comic-Con. Ryan Coogler is returning for Black Panther 3, and the new Black Panther has been cast. Ryan Gosling is officially Ghost Rider, directed by Sean Levy, and fans are already doing the math on a potential Midnight Suns lineup. Kevin Feige confirmed there will be no Marvel movies between Doomsday and Secret Wars. Avengers: Endgame is getting a re-release on September 25th to go back after Avatar's box office record. And Ryan Reynolds spent Comic-Con cosplaying on the convention floor as Deadpool, because of course he did. Ryan closes things out with a full Avengers: Doomsday prep guide: which movies to watch, which ones you can skip if you're short on time, and what TV shows are actually worth adding to the rotation before the film hits. X-Men '97 is being saved for September. The Spokane wildfires are briefly addressed — if you can donate, inovia.org is one place to do it. Next up on Puny Pod: Mystery Men. Themes by J.R.

Hell's Kitchen finally got its verdict. Ryan and David were not ready for how messy it would get. This month on Puny Pod, the MCU rewatch podcast that covers the Marvel Cinematic Universe in release order, Ryan and David are back with a packed June Bugle — and after skipping May, there was a lot of current content to burn through. The headliner is a full breakdown of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, episodes four through nine. Wilson Fisk's world crumbles in stages. A courtroom becomes the most electric battleground the show has seen across two seasons. Matt Murdoch says three words that change everything. And somehow Bullseye ends up on the right side of something, at least for a minute. Then they turn to Punisher: One Last Kill, the Marvel special presentation that is very much not for the faint of heart. Ryan has a theory about why this thing exists and what it's setting up. David has strong feelings about sitting through it. They mostly agree on both counts. Spider Noir gets its moment too — lighter, weirder, and a genuinely welcome palette cleanser after everything they just watched. And then there is the Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer. Ryan arrives with a theory involving Sadie Sink, a mind-controlling redhead, and Banner's mutant suppression technology. David is prepared to wager his entire 401k on where this is headed. No notes.

From the Quantum Realm… Originally released behind the sacred Patreon paywall, this Super Secret Spoiler Show episode covering Captain America: The Winter Soldier has slipped through a tear in the multiverse and landed on the main feed. This is not your standard, structured Main Show breakdown. This is the chaotic one. Recorded in full spoiler mode, we revisit one of the MCU's most beloved entries and ask the hard questions: Is The Winter Soldier actually a perfect movie? Does the HYDRA twist hold up or does it quietly break the universe? And how long can we spend on the elevator scene before it becomes a problem? Expect tangents. Expect overcorrections. Expect aggressively honest takes. This is the version of Puny Pod where the guardrails are off and the energy is… looser. If you enjoy this flavor of unfiltered Marvel talk, you can get every Super Secret Spoiler Show episode over on the Earz Up Patreon. The timeline is fragile. Enjoy responsibly. ---------------- Support the show! Check out our super secret spoiler show on the EarzUp! Patreon Visit us on Etsy for the official Puny Pod Merch Come say hi on Discord!
