My Mum Missed Marvel Joe and Aileen Walker

- TV & Film
A mum and son watch all of the films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with the twist that at least one of them doesn't know what they're talking about.

Episode 22 - Spider-Man: Far From Home
Spider-man! It's another Spider-Man episode! Hurrah! With big shoes to fill and an entire saga to round off, Spider-Man: Far From Home has a lot of work to do, but luckily Joe and Mum are here to talk about how it did. But it's Spider-Man, so nothing could possibly go wrong with this one right? Right?
-
Episdoe 21 - Avengers: Endgame
We're in the Endgame now. I'm with you till the Endgame of the line. All good things must Endgame. Another quote. It's finally time! After two filler films, the Infinity Saga comes to a close, (almost) and we talk about the climactic climax of the MCU. Does Marvel's showstopper hold up to Mum's tough standards? Or will the abundance of action and 'time stuff' drag it down, leaving Mum at her wit's Endgame? Okay, I'll stop.

Episode 20 - Captain Marvel
This week we watch Captain Marvel - perhaps the film which we've had the most points of disagreement about so far! Were the sexists right when the film was coming out? No. Can Captain Marvel be a cool superhero while also being a woman? Yes, of course, what a ridiculous question. Is the film fantastic? Maybe. You may have to listen to this episode to find out!
-
Episode 19 - Ant Man and The Wasp
This episode, Joe and Mum watch another light hearted Ant Man film! The question is, will its cheeriness be a welcome break from the dire stakes of the MCU at the moment, or will we all just be frustrated that we're not watching Endgame yet? We are also joined by Uncle David, who's here once again to lend his patented 'old man grumpiness'!
-
Episode 18 - Infinity War
We're finally back with the long-awaited Infinity War episode! Everything so far in the MCU has been building to this point and we take our time talking about the characters and plot of the first half of the MCU's climax. We're also joined by special guest Ross who has an interesting take on Thanos as well as a revelation about his own MCU experience. Will Mum enjoy one of the highest-grossing films of all time, or has Joe really hyped this one up too much?
-
Episode 17 - Black Panther
We're back, and averager (huh, that word kind of looks like Avenger) than ever, with an episode about Black Panther! Mum has had a look at this character before, but how much does she remember? Probably not loads! We talk about the cultural impact that this film had, along with the encouraging trend that Marvel might be heading in the right direction. On top of that, Mum and Joe have by far their largest rhino-based disagreement of all time.
