Do you like blockbusters? We like blockbusters! Superheroes, giant lizards, aliens, or problematic archeology professors, we’ll watch and talk too much about it. Every weekly episode of Advanced Blockbuster Studies, Tom, Tyler, and Joseph recap and discuss the biggest, most explosion-iest movies and television. Strap in, suit up, and get ready to over-analyze blockbusting entertainment with us.
The spring session of Advanced Blockbuster Studies focuses on The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. In this Marvel show, Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and James Barnes (Sebastian Stan) deal with life after The Blip, and a new global threat.
Directed by Kari Skogland with Malcolm Spellman serving as head writer, the show picks up months after Avengers: Endgame. At the end of that movie, there were a lot of questions on what was next for these characters in the MCU. What’s happening with Captain America’s shield? How does Bucky get acclimated to modern life? Can Sam be the hero he needs to be for his family, his country, and himself? What does it mean to have a black man take on the mantle of Captain America?
Listen to our discussion Saturdays every week for answers and likely more questions. Tom, Tyler, and Joseph will have a roundtable discussion on what’s good, what’s bad, and what we’re looking forward to in this blockbuster series.
