About this listen

This week, we’re traveling back to a simpler time—when you needed dial-up internet to talk to your alien mentor and Blockbuster Video was still a thing. The Council suits up in flannel to revisit Captain Marvel (2019)—the film that launched Carol Danvers into the MCU and made Adelia feel like a teenager again (cue emotional mixtape flashbacks).

🍿 This Episode: CAPTAIN MARVEL (2019)

We dive into the high-flying, amnesia-laced origin story of Carol Danvers—former Kree soldier, Air Force pilot, and soon-to-be Avenger. From space battles and memory puzzles to the surprise reveal of who’s really the bad guy, this film flipped expectations and rewrote MCU history books. The Council discusses Brie Larson’s performance, the unexpected buddy-comedy chemistry with a young Nick Fury, Goose the Flerken stealing the show, and how the soundtrack hits like a punch from Binary-mode Carol. Plus: Adelia opens up about how this movie made her feel like a teenager again—reminding her of the power of female heroes and the freedom of figuring out who you are on your own terms.

🛑 Spoilers for Captain Marvel, Cold War-era alien politics, and emotional ‘90s flashbacks.
