The MCU served us up another chapter in their long saga of Cinema, and it's time for d$, Mikey, and #XLessDrEarl to give an MCU Ranking. 

We invite in Fan Fave and Friend of the Show, the Pride of Villa Rica Georgia, Young Garrison "Spawn of Ryfun" Ryfun calls in, Marvel fan that he is. 

Starting with 2008's "Iron Man", the guys run through the entire MCU, and all of it's faves, giving their list of their faves, ultimately giving a Top Ten from each, then a show Top Ten. 

How does your top ten align with ours?

Here is the list of the MCU films & dates released

Episode 637: My Favorite Summer... The Comedies

My favorite summer continues and this week, it's time to get funny with the ha-ha... because comedies are one of the most important genre of all. Because we love to laugh at the stupid, at the smart, at the dark, at the iconic, and at the silly. 

Returning to the show after being our co-announcer and narrator at this year's Deucie Awards, The Amish Girl herself Jenn Novotny brings all the smile and humor... as well as a rant on an innocent actress and her Oscar winning performance.

First up, a little Denzel game, and catching up with Jenn and her world travels. 

Then, Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl, along with Jenn, give their own top ten fave comedies of all time, from movies they grew up with to recent flicks to the legendary to the downright dumb.

Episode 376: Franchises & Endgames

Last week, they were a crew of moviegoers who had not seen Avengers Endgame. This week, having seen it multiple times each, they see with a new set of eyes. Think with a new set of thoughts. See with... you get the the picture.

Either way, Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl are here to dish on what ends up being the biggest film of the weekend, and possibly the biggest film of all time.  Avengers Endgame.  The guys are joined by Friend of the Show Jared McG, and they do a quick dive into the new Star Wars Trailer first.

Then, a spoiler free review of Avengers Endgame (with instructions about the bonus content after Kenny wraps ups his ending tune.)

Then, the guys give their Top Five Movie Franchises of all time... any films series that is 4 or more, and contained within the same universe.  Characters like Wolverine, and Indy, and Kermit, and Dom, and Ethan, and of course, Bond... James Bond.

Then, after the show, stick around as the team spoils the heck out of Endgame, as they take a deep dive into the movie, some of the Easter Eggs, what they liked, loved and felt lacking about the film -- you are given plenty of warning on the spoilers, though.
