3235

This week, Ty and Dan ring in the new year with the back half of Hawkeye. Tyler is sorely disappointed by the finale's depiction of the Big Guy, but Danny contends that the flaws there lie within the whole series' structure. Tyler admits his appreciation for Yelena's role in these episodes, while Danny manages to change the topic as often as he can to The Matrix Resurrections. The two also find time to briefly discuss Spider-Man: No Way Home's box office and give each other their first Green Room films of 2022.

Falisha is all for the '70s fashion and music, while Tyler can't get enough of Captain Barbera and his cigar. Meanwhile, Tyler speculates that Danny is trying to get the Inhumans show rebooted, rather than enjoying lobster rosetta in the Hawaiian sun.

46. Sally Field, Improv Queen (The Amazing Spider-Man 2 w/Mark Young)
5728

This week, Ty and Dan force Mark Young back onto the show, demanding he fulfill his duty to cover every cursed Spider-Man project. With The Amazing Spider-Man 2, the consensus is clear: it's a glorious mess that occasionally reaches greatness but often makes Choices that lead to plenty of unintentional humor. Tyler goes to bat for the romance scenes between Peter and Gwen, but Danny thinks the ironically funny parts are more worthwhile. Mark points out that Peter is legitimately a stalker in this, and agrees with Danny that Marton Coskas is a gem. After all, he (and, according to Tyler) Jamie Foxx truly understood the assignment. Be sure to listen to this as you clean your chimney, as we close out our Spider-Man retrospective with the more memorable Amazing movie.

Danny genuinely thinks this is the worst film we've covered though, and Tyler isn't too far behind.  Nevertheless, Kevin comes out swinging, defending it by calling it merely mediocre. Danny gets a taste of his own medicine as he compares the casting to 21 Jump Street, while Tyler blames Uncle Ben for not understanding basic gun safety. Kevin explains why the crane sequence works for him too. In the end, they desperately try to break down into laughter of Ice Age lore and the sheer inanity of the film, but the best promises are the ones we don't keep.

Danny fits in a rant about the Oscars, and Tyler promotes a new Disney Plus show featuring an “According to Jim” aesthetic. When revisiting the film, the three marvel at how young Tom Hiddleston looks, the incredible amount of product placement, and a cold open none of them remembered. Also, Tyler found time to watch the deleted scenes (but not the film itself).

10. Blip Service (The Falcon & The Winter Soldier, Ep. 1)

In the Green Room, Tyler wants to talk with his theater background, but Danny chooses to only engage with his background on SpongeBob. Then, Danny gets mad at the refusal to actually engage with the consequences of Endgame, while Tyler is excited for Redwing! Music attributed to Patrick Patrikios.

4. We Won't Say Too Much (WandaVision Ep. 5)
10842

This time, Tyler and Danny make the critical mistake of recording on the day of release for the WandaVision episode (but still two minutes shorter than Endgame).
